Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Questions about Forrester's

Does Forrester's have gluten-free options?

Yes: 1 dish is gluten free as served, and 4 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 2 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is Forrester's coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Menu states it cannot guarantee food is completely allergen free; guests should tell staff about allergies so they can guide dietary…”. Chef’s Kiss reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.

What can be made gluten free at Forrester's?

Basta Falafel (Gluten free option available); Green Goddess Chicken Salad (Gluten free option available); Angus Rump Steak (250g) (Gluten free option available; choose gravy sauce); Scotch Fillet (300g) (Gluten free option available; choose gravy sauce).
