He was very helpful with our dietary requirements. A few of us have certain allergies and nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back, thank you for the whole experience especially my lovely smoking Cocktails

Had booking for 430 but when we walked in there was only like 2 other tables in the place so but weird we couldn’t get another time. So got seated straight away and ordered drinks that came out quick so did the starters as we had to pre book our meal, so we asked we not in a rush so hold fire mains . Must been the worse thing to do as didn’t get anymore drinks so I got up and asked the not so busy staff can we have another drink which they apologised and got us a drink very quick so when we said we ready for mains and this was lovely top marks to the chef thankyou but at no point did anyone ask is if food was ok or wanted anymore drinks So when dessert came I said to the waitress you are definitely missing out on making in this place as the bar service lets it down to which she asked if we want another drink but was to late now ready to leave Food was a1 but table service shocking when it’s so quiet

It was magnificent and so well flavoured/smoked Noah and the garlic bread and mac cheese, he also tried the ALL the beef from our tray. He loved and he’s 5. Service was great, staff had personality and actually talked to you. Didn’t disappoint

Ordered the £35.00 Sirloin on the bone came with one Mushroom dry and soggy, half a tomato and some treble cooked chips. While the steak was cooked to my liking medium rare. Quite fatty, l had to ask for salt and pepper, l was asked did l want any mustards l requested Dijon they never had any l then asked for French they never had any just english. My son had a couple of starters which were passable. Sadly my first and last visit not worth the £70 bill l paid.

We were recommended the venue for its smoked olives only to find that they haven’t smoked their own olives for a number of years. So we went for their spicy chilli chicken dirty chips instead and wow, best chips ever! We also had a number of cocktails as it was happy hour all home made and super tasty. And to top it all, we were served by a great waiter bar tender called Daniel Webb who was both funny and informative in equal measure as well as very attentive. All in all, a really lovely surprise thank you, we will be back!

Grant, Kieran and the team were unable to meet. The sheer effort, communication, coming with special elements on the menu, organizing timings etc. was simply impeccable. They made us feel that nothing was bothered, offer excellent value for money and so many people commented on the unique and beautiful place and delicious food. Grant seemed to get us, and we didn't ask for more. Through his industry experience, he gave reasonable advice and worked with us to create a safe environment through Covid. I have to try a photo of the decorations that we made available to them and Kieran worked tirelessly (I've heard about night since then to put them up, and he did a stunning job. I just saw they officially offer the venue. If you think about it, pay them a visit, The Forge made our wedding special and we still go back to meals!

We tend to go for a smorgasbord of different plates as there is so much on offer but the highlights are those in the picture: burnt beef ends, charred iceberg, loaded fries and onion rings. Added the ham tacos this time and they were epic. Special mention needed for the mac and cheese which is the best. Now, there are some fancy and intriguing drinks on the menu but these gingerbread espresso martinis were a perfect liquid dessert to end the night on. Definitely going back and definitely ordering more of what we love and maybe a couple of new ones.
