"We visited the old forge on Wednesday 6/9/23 in the evening. Sadly the quality of the food was very poor. Two starters and two main courses. Starters, salt and pepper squid and chilli prawns. Chilli prawns were awful. Tasteless and four small prawns with a dolmio style cheap sauce poured over. Main courses, Blade Beef and Duck Stir Fry. Beef was over cooked and the mash potato was cold. Stir Fry wasn’t much better either. Duck over cooked and the stir fry sauce was possibly straight out of a jar. The staffing levels are a concern. Looked like only four members of staff covering the whole operation. There was one member of staff struggling covering all the tables. Finally the pub itself looks tired and knackered. The interior is very dated. Sorry but I wouldn’t recommend this pub."

We had a really great lunch here, and friendly helpful service from Alice our waitress who was good with a couple of allergies. It was nice not to be hurried out. Good value and nice food. Thanks

Nice meal with family, the food was good. The place was a little understaffed but Alice went out of her way trying to serve the busy restaurant and keep a smile on her face, she deserves a mention.

My friends and I visited this restaurant for lunch on a Saturday and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, especially the cheesecake pudding. The outdoor seating area was very nice and our server, Eleanor, was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back again.
