About working for Antic

At Antic we believe all great pubs are individual and with passion for providing the absolute best to their surrounding community. Our focus is on friendly and genuine staff, fresh seasonal produce and an excellent selection of wines, local and national Ales and spirits delivered with care and at an honest value. We nurture creativity and give autonomy to our managers, chefs and their teams to run their sites as if their own.
About the pub
Situated across the road for the Forest Gate railway station, The Forest Tavern is and always has been a community pub for the area.
Formerly the Railway Tavern, the Forest Tavern has six real ale pumps and 2 t-bars; our Ales rotate monthly and our wine list has something to match every meal or occasion. We have a British seasonal menu and list of Specials to Tickle the taste buds, or if you just want a nibble, we offer a range of bar snacks. In summer months we have a barbecue in our beer garden, while always offering a traditional Sunday roast throughout the year.
Forest Tavern offers a wide selection of events running most weeks: a monthly Vinyl Fair called ‘Dig A Little’ and the Funk Soul Disco Revolutions. We have DJs spinning Boogie records every second Friday, and some Brazilian Beats at Vinyl Junkie party every last Friday of the month. On top of Djs we have a range of bands for offering musical pleasure to our customers.
