Wow, was that a superb meal or what. Top quality food, beautifully cooked, so so tasty. A phenomenal chef (Colin), with a great team working with him. That has to be up there amongst the best seafood meals we've ever had, and it was chance that we went there. So pleased that chance played a hand in it for us. Do try it if you love fish, you will not be disappointed. Location: 4

We were visiting Norfolk with friends from Canada who love seafood and were lucky to get a table at The Old Forge as it's often full! We all enjoyed our meals, liked the fact that this is a small, family-run restaurant with friendly service, had a good chat with owner and chef Colin and felt that our dinner was good value for money. If we're up this way again will definitely be back! Service: 5

We visited the seafood restaurant and I can easily say that the food was lovely. The interior was cosey, if a little old style, but the seafood itself was like it was just caught there and then. I would have preferred to sit at the table while the food was being prepared and not in the waiting area where people were coming and going. The chef made his rounds to every table making sure they were happy with their meals which I felt was a lovely touch. Obviously they are proud of what they do and want to make sure people are enjoying their food. All in all, a lovely small cosey place with good seafood. Ver carta

Worth visiting for a special occasion, as not cheap, it was our wedding anniversary but although I mentioned it on booking and we didn't expect any privileges, it would have been nice to be wished a Happy Anniversary. Think I must be old school!

We was very lucky to get a last minute table at this restaurant as we were on holiday nearby. The service was delightful and friendly. The seafood was so fresh and it was from a local fisherman. We had freshly baked bread from the chef with garlic Aioli. The oysters was juicy and the diver scallops in garlic and parsley butter were massive and cooked perfectly. For our mains we had baked crevettes, mussels, and scallops in a garlic and parsley butter with a extra lobster tail and a half baked lobster with cheese and lobster sauce. When the food arrived I was very surprised at the size of the lobster, it was almost bigger than my plate. The half lobster was very meaty and sweet and cooked spo...

Stayed hear for 2 nights whilst going to Thursford Xmas Show.,which is a 4 minute drive from Show( 1 half miles) The food for meals is seafood,which the Wife and I love. We eat like kings Queens served by Colin and Sarah's lovely staff. Colin and Sarah are cordial hosts real characters straight talking and to the point. The rooms at £95 were reasonable for the area as typically £130 is a starting point. There are 4 rooms we stayed in room 1 which was what you would expect from a 14th century building. Room small, with double bed, no room for a table of any sort but just to rest you're head and have a shower then adequate and clean tidy.No hairdryer,snd a few hooks to hold clothes as no room...
