Nestled in the heart of the countryside, The Forge offers a delightful dining experience renowned for its delicious cuisine and charming atmosphere. Many patrons rave about the exceptional flavors found in dishes like the lamb koftas and tagliatelle, complimented by friendly and attentive staff. However, service consistency remains an area for improvement, with some guests reporting delays and a lack of table attention during their visits. Despite these concerns, the restaurant’s inviting decor and warm atmosphere, complete with cozy log fires, make it a destination worth exploring, especially for those seeking a hearty Sunday lunch or a cozy meal out.
Friends I meet one a month for dinner always receive great service delicious food. Tonight was a very busy evening as they had a special offer on, but we still received great service didn't have long waits for our food. We had a new waitress called Eleanor who was very polite, friendly attentive. She sorted out an issue we had with one of our desserts with out any fuss provided great customer service. Thank you
On this occasion though they had run out of certain things on the menu. As it was a promotion week I thought they might have foreseen this problem, so no lamb or custard for us yesterday!!!!
We had pre booked a table inside for Sunday lunch but decided to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. As it was getting busy we were told it would be table service. Alice came to our table to take our orders and was lovely, friendly and polite. Our couple of our party wanted specifics regarding their food and Alice was very accommodating as were the kitchen staff. Our food was brought to us quickly and was delicious and exactly as we wanted. Alice was attentive throughout and we never had to wait for drinks or anything else we might need. We really enjoyed our food and the location and service was great. Would highly recommend.
We dined here at lunchtime on a Saturday and opted for the all day menu. The service was really top class with staff being very attentive but not intrusive. The menu was extensive and the food was really excellent.
Having visited for the first time a couple of weeks ago, we decided to give it another go and weren’t disappointed, the food was just as good and thankfully warmer than the first time we visited, not as hot as we would have liked but still a big improvement. Alice, our server went out of her way to accommodate our requests for a couple of changes on the menu, we both had roast chicken, the portions of which are very generous. We ordered a couple of sides but wouldn’t make that mistake again as the dinner served was more than enough and despite being extremely busy Alice was always smiley and nothing was too much trouble.
