Forge Cafe - Carta

Love this place! We often stop here, as it is part way through our country walk. The staff are very friendly, the cakes and milkshakes are really yummy. Would definitely recommend!

This is just a quick post to mention that I waited for thirty minutes and eventually left because no one acknowledged me, let alone served me. I recommend avoiding this place on a Sunday morning.

We turned up without booking and there was 9 of us all meeting up after a family wedding,the staff all helped us find room ,moved tables to accommodate a wheelchair,We had delicious breakfast coffee .A total gem of a place,can’t recommend enough . Thank you so very much Ver carta

There is a wide variety of delicious food available at this restaurant, but there are also many customers who bring in their smelly dogs, making the space feel quite cramped. Despite the unpleasant smell, especially on rainy days, this cafe is still a great spot to visit.

Lovely small local place, very friendly staff and super shop with daily essentials. I have been a few times after walks with my friends for a quick lunch and have been most impressed with quality of the food available, especially the homeade soup which is outstanding. The lady that makes the soup really should consider making it available in the shop to take home!

Wonderful filling afternoon tea, choice of sandwich, homemade cake with scones. The sandwich was great having the choice and not being stuck with some that are disappointing. The cake wow ! Again the choices are endless! I’ve done afternoon tea here 3 times and would throughly recommend. Also the staff are so amazing, altering requirements for food allergies and fussy eaters. I will definitely return! Ver carta

My friend and I visited for coffee and cake and were generally very impressed. There was quite a wait as others have noted, so be prepared for this, even when not every table is taken. I had an amazing pink battenberg cake with pink icing; the cake was excellent, the icing perhaps s little too sweet. My friend had an apple flapjack. We both had large coffees (cappuccino and decaf latte), which were not quite warm enough for my taste. I bought some items in the shop which has a considerable range, and stocks fresh veg, cakes, chocolate etc. Would visit again.

Dropped in with a view to getting tea and a light lunch. Lady serving very unwelcoming, coming up to us the moment we stepped foot in the place asking brusquely if we needed anything. We decided to forgo the lunch. I 'd have left the tea too, except I was gasping for a brew! And so she took our order for tea, with no small amount of sourness it seemed. On the positive side, the space is lovely, the tea was good and the pricing fair. But due to the unfriendly, almost accusatory attitude of the lady serving I don 't think we would return. Which is a shame as we visit the village often.

I went to this restaurant on 17/09 with two friends and a dog, and I was immediately impressed by the wide variety of food and cakes available. The prices were incredibly reasonable as well! As a vegan, I ordered a jacket potato with baked beans, which came with a delicious, large salad. I was even able to have vegan cheese on the beans! Along with a pot of tea, the total bill came to less than £10, which was amazing! The meal was absolutely delicious and the tea even came with soya milk, which was a nice extra touch. The staff were excellent, very patient and friendly. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside, as well as a little shop. I will definitely be returning in the future. Ver carta
