The Sutton Forest Inn is on the Illawarra Highway in the pretty village of Sutton Forest, just south of Moss Vale. It is situated on twenty hilly acres, making a superb backdrop for bistro diners.
The pub has outdoor seating in the front of the building facing the highway as well as a verandah with tables and chairs as the outdoor area of the bistro. Complementing this are some tables and benches for people wanting to sit right outside in amongst the rural landscape.
There are two main entrances to the pub. One is directly into a small bar, the other is into a foyer leading to another bar or the bistro.
Although the bar areas aren’t my ‘cup of tea’ drinks are well priced. Good value in fact.
The bistro is a large open room, with a wood burning fire. It has large ceiling to floor glass windows showing off its rural backdrop.
The menu itself is not enormous, but well varied. I decided on Beef and Guiness Pie, $18.95. It was topped with quite a large pillow of puff pastry, served with french fries and that pillow of puff pastry.
My friend decided on Pork and Fennel Sausages $16.50. This was served as two good sized sausages on a small bed of buttered mash, with onions and cream sauce.
The pie was rich and moist, good on a winter’s day. The sausages were great.
Lovely place to sit and chat, comfortable, attractive, with very pleasant staff.
