The Old Forge Seafood

Nothing wrong at all...everything outstanding: choice, service, portion size and atmosphere. Seafood platter included crab and lobster... a full challenge to a foodie. Can not fault the place at all!

Well what can I say about this place, from the time we arrived we were made to feel so welcome. Colin and his team couldn’t do enough for us. The breakfast was enough to set you up for the day and as for dinner wow it was fantastic. Would highly recommend this place to stay. Thank you for your hospitality cannot wait to visit again.

Another excellent meal cooked to perfection by the inimitable Colin. We always eat here whenever we are in the area and it never fails to satisfy. Colin’s signature dish of a melody of lobster, salmon and sea bass in a glorious lobster sauce is one of the best fish dishes we’ve ever had. Give him a call and book a table but don’t leave it to late! View menu

What a great evening. Excellent seafood, a lovely and authentic setting and the owner and staff brimming with personality. Can’t recommend it highly enough. We had a great evening eating excellent food and enjoying the buzz of the place. The price was spot on for the quality of the meal and wine. No problem paying a small cover where some establishments would charge you for bread etc. Happy to pay service on top as we got excellent service and enjoyed the whole experience.

Four of us ate superb meals at this very warm and friendly restaurant last night. All the meals were so delicious from the home baked bread to the excellent deserts. I am dairy intolerant but this wasn’t a problem for Colin who came out from the kitchen and talked to me about what I wanted without me feeling I was being a nuisance. Next time we are back in Norfolk on holiday this restaurant will be the first I book. If you enjoy freshly prepared and cooked ingredients I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Ate here tonight. Can’t vouch for the accommodation but the food was spot on and the owner Colin was absolutely charming. He bakes his own bread of which Marie Antoinette would have been justly proud it was like cake! For starters, I had the sizzling Spanish prawns and my wife the dressed crab. For the mains we both had the melody of lobster, salmon and sea bass in a creamy lobster sauce which apparently is one of Colin’s signature dishes and was truly to die for. A small, cosy restaurant, simply decorated but well worth a visit. View menu

Where to start... a superb restaurant with comfortable accommodation. The seafood is the best I have ever eaten. Superb fresh produce cooked to perfection by the owner/chef. Classic food served as it should be. Cant wait until we are able to go back, worth the 200+ mile drive. If you visit you must try the Fruit de Mer, house special. Absolutely stunning, as were the scallops, moules mariner and bouillabaisse. The homemade ice cream was amazing, unfortunately we didn't manage a dessert on the second evening as the portions were substantial to say the least. Not forgetting Colins amazing homemade bread and garlic mayonnaise. Keep up the good work and hope to see you again very soon.

Stayed at this property last night. On arrival we (2 elderly ladies) were met by the owner Colin. What an aggressive man. We were bombarded (whilst standing after a three hour journey) by his reception desk and subjected to his diatribe. This property is in need of an instant deep clean in the rooms and all areas. In both of our rooms the bedding was unacceptable and shabby and looked as though someone had slept in it before! The rooms were dirty to the extent that we slept on top of the bed and did not wish to use the shower as we had seen better in a hostel.The smell in the rooms was very musty and the kettle, lamp etc was covered in dust.We had booked dinner and to be fair it was average....
