Lovely Saturday night meal. We were served by Patsie who was very good, the steaks were amazing. It is on the pricier side but worth it for the experience and quality of the food. Would recommend for a special occasion. Thank you!

I don’t normally leave reviews on restaurants unless they’re really good and In this instance it was AMAZING. The Sunday dinner was fantastic, it definitely is one of the best roast dinners I’ve had in the area and the chocolate fudge cake was incredible (and huge). Service was very good and all waiters were very polite and attentive. 10/10 highly recommend🌟

The atmosphere, staff and food here are all too notch. The pub is also nicely furnished and makes you feel comfortable. The price is very reasonable for what you get, and what you get isn’t a slap up plate of food it is a tasty meal prepared excellently with care and diligence. My props to the Chefs. I will definitely return.

Best pub meal I have had in a long time! My mum and I went to the forge for lunch after her friend recommended it and it exceeded my expectations!! The light bite lunch menu was not just good value but also filled us up and tasted spectacular!! The mac and cheese I'm particular! To add to the a round of drinks was cheaper here than most pubs I go to locally which was a bonus too! Pudding was brilliant and the chocolate fudge cake alone makes me want to return. Our servers were fantastic, they checked on us regularly with a big smile and took time for us even though it was busy. The actual pub was beautiful inside and makes your meal feel almost magical! I will definitely be returning and I cannot recommend this pub enough!

What better way to end the bank holiday than a meal at the Forge?😌 It doesn’t take a genius to work out that I am a BIG BIG fan of The Forge Inn. We last visited at the end of May and as per usual, I was not disappointed. What I had: • Jack’s Fish & Chips (swapped for Roman fries, iykyk) • Beer Battered Onion Rings • Eton Mess Cheesecake The fish was cooked to perfection with such a light, crispy batter. I cannot go to the forge and not order their truffle fries so I swapped the normal chips out for these. They were of course sensational. Even the mushy peas were a delight to eat. I also cannot resist when I see beer battered onion rings on a menu. I could easily devour ten portions of these (or somewhere near that number). Again they were cooked perfectly with the batter being so light and melting in your mouth. Finally, the Eton mess cheesecake…oh my goodness. Anything Eton mess is always a go-to for me. I do struggle to finish a dessert after a big meal but I’m pretty sure I demolished this🫣. I think just after we’d been, they changed the dessert menu so the cheesecake is no longer available. However, they do a raspberry and white chocolate Eton mess meringue that sounds divine! Going to the forge is always such a treat. The staff are lovely and welcoming. The servers that look after us aren’t always consistent with their attentiveness but I think that’s due to where we’re seated perhaps? Who knows. Overall, another lovely experience and I can’t wait to go back soon!

I don’t usually leave reviews but feel our experience fully deserves one. Had a lovely evening here for my granddaughters birthday. The service was amazing. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Made my granddaughter feel very special. Food was beautiful. Will definitely be returning.

Really enjoyed the food here although we had to wait a long time for the mains to come out after the Starters...almost an hour. Will definitely back though as all the food was delicious and generous portions

I've been here 2x recently. Once for lunch during the week and on this occasion for Sunday lunch. Staff are polite and attentive...if you're going on a Sunday book your table in advance. We took a risk arriving at 5 past 12 and were told the only places available were in the bar area or snug where they have higher tables at the back. We took one of those. The table and cutlery looked clean and the area overall looked well cared for. Our drink order arrived as we'd asked (we like no ice). I had a chicken-less burger 🍔 while hubby had pork with crackling Sunday dinner. His plate of food was huuuge! The portions are very generous. It was all cooked very well with plenty of crackling. The vegetables were cooked nicely. The chips with my tasty burger were very nice too. All on all it was great...tbh thought the portions too generous especially for the Sunday roast and we would definitely have struggled if ordering extra sides. I had an inkling portions may be generous from the enormous jacket potato I had on my last visit If you like a hearty meal, a clean place and polite staff you'll like it here. The prices are reasonable considering the amount of food you get and the fact the food is cooked to a good standard.
