WELCOME TO
Public House
Since 1874
A Quaint Country Pub
Rob & Karen Collins become publicans of the The Forresters Arms in 2016. They had been regular drinkers in this beautiful quaint country pub for numerous years and it always felt like home. When news broke that their beloved local was up for sale, they decided to take over the helm and haven’t looked back since.
The Forresters Arms dates back to the 18th century and has always been the central hub of High Ongar; a place for friends to gather and for the whole family to enjoy in a warm and nurturing environment. Come and visit us for some real ale and home cooked classic pub food.

We Believe in Quality
Here at The Forresters Arms we believe in traditional home cooked hearty food. Everything is made from scratch and we provide a collection of well loved dishes.
We took it all back to basics with our approach. Everybody loves a deliciously made plate of food and the personal touch. No fuss and leaves you feeling warm and content. We have a varied menu so take a look – everything from the rich and satisfying Spaghetti Bolgonese, to Fish n Chip Fridays aka ‘treat night’, to the gastronomic delicacy of Scampi.
And not forgetting the heart of the home……The Roast. With all the gorgeous trimmings and lashings of gravy. Our favourite family tradition here in the UK and a time where all the family are brought together as one and all stand still. Offerings of tasty Beef, juicy Lamb or succulent Chicken – click the menu below for more details.
