The Forge

My expectations were high, but everything was just mediocre. Service was awful. My husband and I were the first in the restaurant for the evening, we were given menus and were left sitting for far too long, whilst the staff hung around the bar. Seemingly having a staff meeting? Maybe this should be carried out 'before' any customers are seated in their restaurant? Just came across as VERY unprofessional. Plus, food was just 'OK'. We were not impressed at all. Will definitely not be returning. Would NOT recommend.

Forge is set in the hotel indigo and has a lovely vibe to the place. The food was nice however as with fine dining the portion sizes are very small and I dont think it was just our table that noticed this. I think I had more meat with the pigeon starter (12) then I did with the sirloin main (30). I know its fine dining and I am aware you pay a lot more but even at that price the value for money is quite ridiculous. The sirloin was two slices, about a credit card size and 5mm thick. However my partner ordered a fish main and got a huge chunk of fish, so she was very pleased. I over saw the portion sizes of the chicken and pork and again both dishes lacked size on the protein. The sirloin comes with some veggies but without the chips (additional cost..I think 6) I would have gone hungry. All in all, its a good place to eat but be prepared for small plates The photo is of the pigeon starter, I didnt take a photo of the main unfortunately due to being sat next two some other guests who kept being a little awkward
