For this visit (26.03.2024), I've given an overall rating of 4 stars, so it must look odd that I've given 5 stars for each of the food, service, and atmosphere.Let me explain why... I come here approximately once every 2 months to meet up with friends where we can have a good girly catchup.The food was its usual high quality, and I have to recommend the macaroni cheese (with bacon) from the early bird menu. It's just so yummy. One of my friends had the chicken ceasar salad and she really enjoyed it. The refurb looks really nice, and the new menu looks tasty.Now, as I said, us girls love our chats, so we are often behind with ordering, etc. because we're too busy nattering. However, after we were winding down from everything, food, etc, for the first time, we were made to feel they just wanted us gone. Quite a few times, the staff would come and hover over our table, not saying anything, but we felt quite uncomfortable about it. There's hovering to see if there is anything to collect from the table, but this didn't feel like that this time.I will say not to let this review put you off. Remember, we've been coming here for years and we're usually fine. Next time will probably be as great as the previous visits!

Stopped off here whilst doing a walk in the area as was recommended as a great local pub. We hadn't book but staff allowed us to sit outside which was great as weather was lovely and warm. We both had a roast Sunday lunch which was around £19 and a pint of Phoenix £4.60. Phoenix was a lovely refreshing pint which had a fruity flavour and was very nice to drink. After waiting about 30 minutes we chased the food and it arrived soon afterwards. Really great quality. Meat was tasty and roast potatoes were excellent, very tasty and flavourful. Vegetables were also great and very well cooked. Overall really great food and drink and would recommend.

Food was good, pork belly bites the best starter on the menu. Never eaten there on a Saturday, very busy, young staff were very good and attentive but a special shout out to Tilly, polite and cheerful but really just very good at what she does, thank you for the birthday muffin, very nice touch and I'll remember that.

I had an amazing sunday roast with all the trimmings. The chocolate fudge was delicious as well.The vibe is really nice here at the Forge. The staff are friendly and polite.The inside decor is good, with lots of seating areas and booths.The beer garden is huge and is perfect for a summers day. I've had one of the pizza's from the pizza shed before and it was delicious!

Had a booking for 15. The service was very good. Price of food high, but with service and ambience, etc. Worth it. Will definitely go back. Vegetarian/Vegan options limited.Wheelchair accessibility: There are tables on the ground floor. Make sure you stipulate that you need ground floor table due to needs.
Visited yesterday after living in Groby for over a year now and we were sad we hadn't visited before. Came with 2 little kids and it was perfect. The food was delicious, well presented and generous potion size. Staff we were attentive and friendly ensuring we had enough drinks and everything was ok. Husbands steak was cooked to perfection and the kids ate most of their meal. The decor was lovely and warming. Will definitely be visiting again!
