Review The Forge - Shedfield

IT IS OPEN. THE FRONT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION But it did not disturb our dining experience. Superb carvery. Also available kebabs and burger meals. Full bar, beautiful venue. This place has a fantastic vibe. Great value for money. Plenty of parking. Wheelchair accessible. Only one tiny personal thing, it would be nice to have a lounge area to retire to once you've stuffed yourself silly.

There were 5 of us that went for the carvery and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Four drinks and 5 meals came out to only £49 which we thought was excellent. There are three cuts of meat you can have, turkey, gammon and beef; we tried all of them and they were equally cooked well. This is all served to you whilst the rest of the meal is self serve. There is a large range of vegetables and other classic roast sides such as Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes, sauces and more. It does get very busy so I would book and also be prepared to wait for about 5-10 minutes at peak times to get to the front of the queue to get your food.

Excellent service excellent food and very clean in here and beautifully decorated. Love the carvery here which is every day fantastic!

We fancied a lovely pub lunch with good 'home cooked' food so I just put in a few locations nearby and one of the places that popped up was here. I liked the look of the carvery on pictures so we gave it a go! Fair to say it did not disappoint! We went on a Sunday so carvery was £12.50 but worth every single penny! The meat was deliciously falling apart, everything on the carvery fresh and topped up, we arrived just after 12 and it was getting busy, we didn't book but managed to get seated. My husband had a huge steak pie with chips and our child had chicken nuggets which were proper battered chicken, lots of chips and beans, it was a big portion she wasn't able to finish. We weren't able to manage pudding but they did look really nice! We will definitely be returning here as it was so nice. Parking was quite limited for a busy time of day Lovely outdoor seating available too!

Recommended by a friend. Good call. Outside a bit of a mess due to alterations. Inside is lovely old world Turkish decor. Warm welcome. Limited menu with accent on Eastern Mediterranean. Very good value midweek carvery. Definite recommendation.

Amazing food. Carvery is really ice, fresh and hot. Nice generous portions of meat with 3 choices. Plenty of fresh cooked vegetables and very smooth gravey. Staff very pleasant and leave you alone. Just 1 check to see if all OK. And again to remove empty plates. Can't fault this place plenty of parking which is free

Came here for a carvery. Had been told its the best and well worth a visit. Lovely pub restaurant with lots of space and beautifully decorated. The carvery was superb 👌 choice of three meats, Turkey, ham and beef. Vegetables, carrots, swede, peas, beans, broccoli, cauliflower cheese, sweetcorn, red cabbage, parsnips, mash potato, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, onion gravy with chunks of onion, all the usual sauces. 😋 delicious and really tasty. Definitely worth a visit, and only £9.00 . Will definitely come back.

Probably the best carvery I have experienced. The meats were all excellent and exceptionally tender. The selection of vegetables was amazing. Parking available at rear due to additional building work in progress at the front.

Very good value for money. We went for Sunday roast. You receive a portion of meat then help yourself to to roast potatoes and vegetables. Make sure you leave enough space for gravy. The Sunday roast costs 10 pounds. You can also order from the menu. Drinks You buy at the bar. Only small criticism was that the roast spuds were a little dry.

First time going with my parents food was good had a carvery got a good amount of meat as most places give small bits rest of the food was tasty. They even cover the food when no one is up there instead of leaving it the inside was good to it's also quite so had a peaceful meal in the garden area there.
