The Forge - Menu

Great food and great location. Always recommend this restaurant to friends. Staff courteous and efficient

The Food at the Forge never fails to delight me. The setting is lovely and the prices is really reasonable. Five Stars, can't wait for my next visit :

Amazing food and excellent service. Dishes showcased great in-season produce and were absolutely delicious. Great wine choices and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Visited several occasions and food is always of a very good standard. Reasonably priced wine and a nice relaxed atmosphere. So glad this restaurant is within easy walk of my house. Having said that it's worth the drive taxi

last minute to get a place in the bar area. the staff was very pleasant and the service was excellent. we had bark meat for Sundays, which was delicious. I would recommend a visit to try lees menu, make sure they book in advance as it is a very popular restaurant.

Managed to get a seat in the bar area at the last minute. The staff were extremely pleasant and the service was excellent. We had roast beef for Sunday lunch, which was delicious. I would recommend a visit to try out Lee's menu, make sure you book ahead as it's a very popular restaurant.

First time diner at The Forge but now I’ve discovered this will be the first of many visits! Seasonal ingredients used extensively across the menu. Food looked great and tasted even better. Great atmosphere that would suit both intimate diners and larger groups.

its the third time I have been to the forge and previously I have to say the service was good and the food excellent, unfortunately on Saturday the service from the kitchen was very poor. we waited 15 minutes to get a menu and it took nearly 40 mins to receive our starter. the main meal was also 30-40 mins from order. which ruined our evening. we did highlight this to the manager who couldn't have been any more apologetic and even gave us our wine for free- this didn't really help as I'm more than happy to pay full price for my meal as long as we receive a decent service. fully appreciate there may have been extenuating circumstances around this issue but we went out to celebrate a happy occ...
