I visited in the evening and enjoyed a lovely seafood menu. The staff and owners were extremely attentive. The location is very convenient for the Thursford Christmas Spectacular. Overall, I’d rate the service and location as 5 out of 5.

We reserved a table for dinner along with an overnight stay. The food was exceptional, and both the owner and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was delicious and well-prepared. We felt so comfortable that we've already booked another celebration for next month! Hotel highlights: Romantic ambiance. View menu

Wow, was that a superb meal or what. Top quality food, beautifully cooked, so so tasty. A phenomenal chef (Colin), with a great team working with him. That has to be up there amongst the best seafood meals we've ever had, and it was chance that we went there. So pleased that chance played a hand in it for us. Do try it if you love fish, you will not be disappointed. Location: 4

We were visiting Norfolk with friends from Canada who love seafood and were lucky to get a table at The Old Forge as it's often full! We all enjoyed our meals, liked the fact that this is a small, family-run restaurant with friendly service, had a good chat with owner and chef Colin and felt that our dinner was good value for money. If we're up this way again will definitely be back! Service: 5

This isn't a review because I haven't been to this restaurant. However, based on the overly sarcastic replies from the owners to any critiques, I definitely won't be going there. Starting a response to a negative review by highlighting that the reviewer misspelled "sole" shows a lack of humility. Considering all the mentions of the owners' advanced age, I believe it might be time for them to retire, preserving whatever respect they may still have (if any). View menu

We visited the seafood restaurant and I can easily say that the food was lovely. The interior was cosey, if a little old style, but the seafood itself was like it was just caught there and then. I would have preferred to sit at the table while the food was being prepared and not in the waiting area where people were coming and going. The chef made his rounds to every table making sure they were happy with their meals which I felt was a lovely touch. Obviously they are proud of what they do and want to make sure people are enjoying their food. All in all, a lovely small cosey place with good seafood.

Very nice food, very intimate, could have done with a little more time between courses to digest and enjoy. Husband thought chairs uncomfortable but can't say I shared this view. We had a table next to the kitchen and so there was constant walk through, but two other tables were free away from this area all evening, so unsure why we were placed here, especially as we booked four days ahead. Worth visiting for a special occasion, as not cheap, it was our wedding anniversary but although I mentioned it on booking and we didn't expect any privileges, it would have been nice to be wished a Happy Anniversary. Think I must be old school!

We was very lucky to get a last minute table at this restaurant as we were on holiday nearby. The service was delightful and friendly. The seafood was so fresh and it was from a local fisherman. We had freshly baked bread from the chef with garlic Aioli. The oysters was juicy and the diver scallops in garlic and parsley butter were massive and cooked perfectly. For our mains we had baked crevettes, mussels, and scallops in a garlic and parsley butter with a extra lobster tail and a half baked lobster with cheese and lobster sauce. When the food arrived I was very surprised at the size of the lobster, it was almost bigger than my plate. The half lobster was very meaty and sweet and cooked spo... View menu
