About Butcher and the Farmer Tramsheds

Dining inside a restored vintage tram sets Butcher and the Farmer apart inside Forest Lodge's bustling Tramsheds. Sydney diners head here for family milestone lunches and easy daytime catch-ups over burgers and steaks cut fresh from the integrated butchery. The sprawling terrace welcomes dogs with water bowls in tow, while kids gather inside the retro carriage. Plates arrive fast—thick cuts off the grill, hand-cut chips, and saucy pork ribs alongside cold tap beers.

  • Heritage tram dining: Guests can reserve seats or host private children's parties inside a restored heritage transit carriage parked right on the floor.
  • Dog-friendly terrace: Spacious outdoor terrace seating accommodates diners with pets, complete with water bowls provided by staff.
  • Steaks and ribs: Hearty cuts from the on-site butchery pair with house sauces, crisp chips, and rotating tap beers.
