Boasting new edible creations from Chef Peter Link, The Tudor Ale House menu and The Forest Ale House menu each pair domestic and imported pours with classic pub fare and fine dining entrees. For herbivorous eaters and their yak bodyguards, veggie quesadillas burrow peppers, onions, spices, and cheese into an extra large tortilla. Simmered in marinara sauce, meat-stuffed cabbage rolls join potato and cheese perogies at The Tudor Ale House, and fried-chicken strips marinated in buttermilk and dipped in seasoned flour slink into The Forest Ale House’s honey-mustard or sweet-chili dipping sauce. Breaded and fried schnitzel at either establishment audibly tiptoes its crisp crust over to tables on a bed of seasonal vegetables. A large selection of draft beers and highball cocktails further complements courses.

Retaining traditional Tudor decor, both restaurants frame table legs and nestle booths along polished hardwood floors. As televisions in both pubs screen Vancouver Canucks games and UFC events, Tudor diners can inhale fresh air on the patio while Forest patrons enjoy Thursday night karaoke, Friday night DJs, Saturday night live bands, and Sunday night harpsichord reinterpretations of Queen hits.
