News for Foresters:
Sheffield's Division Street has witnessed the unveiling of a piece of history, reborn and restored to its former glory. The Foresters, a name echoing back nearly two centuries, has reopened its doors, breathing new life into the heart of the city centre.
Originally established in 1828, The Foresters, formerly known as the Yorick, has reclaimed its place at the corner of Division Street and Rockingham Street. Stepping into this rejuvenated space feels like stepping back in time, yet with a modern twist.
Behind this remarkable revival are the creative minds behind the acclaimed Public cocktail bar, nestled in the historic underground toilet of Sheffield Town Hall. Their expertise has infused The Foresters with a fresh spirit while honouring its rich heritage.
Upon its reopening on Thursday, 15th February 2024, patrons were welcomed into a space adorned with a vibrant green and yellow colour scheme, both inside and out. The ambience is inviting, promising evenings of conviviality and warmth.
The libations offered at The Foresters pay homage to its predecessor, featuring a selection of cocktails 'by Public'. Classics like the old fashioned, margarita, and daiquiri are crafted with precision and presented at a price point of £10 each. For those with different tastes, an array of beer, wine, whisky, and spirits await discovery.
But it's not just about the drinks; The Foresters aims to satisfy appetites with a menu that celebrates local flavours and comforts. From savoury snacks like sausage rolls and Sheffield fish cakes to indulgent mains such as homity pie and cheeseburgers with 'burger van onions,' there's something to please every palate.
As the pub settles into its new rhythm, anticipation builds for the forthcoming Sunday menu. Roasts featuring chicken supreme, pork belly, and rib of beef, accompanied by seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and red wine gravy, promise to elevate weekend dining to an art form.
The transformation from its previous incarnation as Gatsby cocktail bar marks a significant shift, bidding farewell to 13 years of Mexican cuisine and late-night revelry. The Foresters now stands as a beacon of tradition and community, a place where locals and visitors alike can gather to savour the essence of Sheffield's pub culture.
Craft beers, real ales, whiskies, and house spirits line the shelves, inviting exploration and conversation. The Foresters is not just a pub; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of Sheffield and a reminder of the timeless appeal of a well-crafted drink in good company.
So, whether you're seeking a taste of history or simply looking for a welcoming spot to unwind, The Foresters beckons with open arms and a promise of memorable experiences in "the city centre's new local".
