   Went for a birthday dinner for my boyfriend, I made a booking for 7pm and was contacted by staff on the day to arrive early before 7pm as the kitchen closes at 7pm and if I’m not there before 7 o’clock I won’t be able to order food. I arrived at 6:40pm the table was not ready and I was seated at 7pm. I felt rushed and pressured the whole time I was there and overall it was unwelcoming feeling, we were approached by staff twice only 10 minutes after we received our meal to ask are we finished with the food despite the fact we both visibly had a lot of food left on our plate. We were placed at the door and it was a cold wind coming through everytime the door opened. I then further observed many other people arriving way after 7pm to sit down and have a meal. I was then given the bill (without asking for it) by a member of staff straight after I finished food and was told the kitchen was closing at 8?? Even though I was told on the phone it was 7pm. Overall I was not happy with the food experience and it was a very unwelcoming environment. Making up times of when the kitchen is closing is very unprofessional also, my booking should not have been processed if the kitchen “closed” at the time I booked it for.

    Lovely decorated pub, staff very friendly and attentive. Food was lovely I had sea bass, portion was very generous, steak sambo beautiful, steak on the stone amazing, fish and chips were lovely just portion of chips in the small side. Only complaint really where we were sitting (near toilets) was cold and ladies bathroom freezing had to keep my coat on

    Portion sizes were reasonably good slightly on the expensive side of things for the steak but overall still very nice. The staff were very polite and friendly and checked to see was everything OK.

    INCREDIBLE! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everything was perfect! The food, the service and the atmosphere was outstanding and as it was my husband’s birthday they went out of their way to make him feel special. He had the best day and we both can’t wait to go back again.

    Really disappointed with my recent visit to The Forge, I would go fairly regularly and everything is usually 10/10 this recent trip was so bad from start to finish, one of the party is a vegetarian and would always order a double portion of the kids pasta, without any issues this time when she ordered the waitress was argumentative, and said it was "his rule" and refused to ask the kitchen if it was possible, I explained that there isn't another veggie option on the menu beside a curry, which isn't to my friends tastes & that the chef never usually has an issue with her having a portion of pasta at an additional fee, finally she reluctantly agrees to ask, which of course the kitchen had no issues with but she barked at us that it would be €16.50 like any other adult pasta, when the food arrived the pasta order was wrong and needed to be changed, but the highlight of the meal was my own food, I had taken a few bites when I seen a hair mixed in with the mashed potatoes, I caught the attention of the same waitress who said do you still have it? Keep it on the fork and just put it on your plate, she took the plate away, and came back and ask if I still wanted it? I was shocked that she didn't once think to even say sorry! They had a 2nd plate sent out "hair free" but cold, I took a few bites but was so put off I couldn't eat it at all, the whole experience was made so much worse by the poor attitude of the waitress. I've never had such an experience here before and I'm truly disappointed.
