Skipped a starter as I wanted to leave room for desert!
I had a Grill for my main and it was exquisite. I asked for my steak medium rare and that’s just what I got. It was pink, succulent, tender and melted in my mouth. It’s flavour was just unbelievably good. Chicken wings came with the meal as did a half rack of BBQ ribs which complimented my meal perfectly. The wings were dry and crispy and lightly spiced so they weren’t unbearably hot and the pork came away from the ribs with ease. On the side I had chunky chips, corn on the cob and battered onion rings. Yes, I did go to town with the added options but I was having an early dinner to set myself up for an evening of flowing alcohol. To follow I had the Chocolate Brownie Knickerbocker Glory which was fantastic! A generous portion of chocolate and vanilla ice cream was mixed with a moorish chocolate brownie, covered in chocolate sauce and a generous helping of cream, served in a unique glass handled mug. The bespoke decor inside the restaurant was obviously not built on a budget and provided the room with character and ambience. There’s nothing worse than looking around at blank walls whilst conversing at the dining table with your fellow guests so it was lovely to be able to discuss the fine detail that surrounded us. The low ceiling lights provided an ideal spotlight on our food so we could see exactly what was being served up by the efficient staff who were both very attentive and cheerful. They really made our evening complete and enjoyable. One thing I did really appreciate was the provision of a steak knife that would have made Crocodile Dundee proud. It was near on the size of a sheath knife and cut through my steak effortlessly! It was my first visit The Forge and certainly won’t be my last! Thanks for a lovely evening!
We went to the Forge for breakfast this morning after I had seen they had introduced a breakfast menu in the Ipswich Star recently. We're always on the lookout for a good breakfast spot and we have definitely found our new favourite! The place has been done out beautifully and the owners have definitely paid attention to detail. The food and service were excellent and at reasonable prices. We peeked at the drinks and dinner menu and can't wait to try more of what this place has to offer!
Amazing place! Wonderful food and concept. You get a main and pick your sides! The customisation of your meal is so unique and the food is top notch. Rustic, tasty and well priced. I urge you to give it a go!
