    A great place for lunch or dinner. The menu remains fairly steady which means all the dishes are tried and tested and can be cooked to perfection every time. The only downside to the restaurant is it's location, parking is relatively limited and therefore you need to park at Lelant Saltings, a minor inconvenience.

    We had the most delicious roast at the Forge today, its definitely the best roast in the area. The service was really friendly and attentive and the atmosphere cosy and relaxing. I would highly recommend it here for breakfast, lunch or dinner, they just know how to do it right!

    We have been to the Old Forge Bistro several times now, always a good experience and great food. Good vegan and Gluten free options too with custom menus. The GF/vegan crumble is well worth the calories

    Gorgeous visit! Such a delicious meal- we shared some of the small plates and everything was so yum! Our little one enjoyed the pizza. Such kind and attentive staff. A really lovely evening- we can’t wait to visit again! Highly recommend if you’re looking for really tasty food, a good variety and children’s options!
