The Forge

“Always fresh food, innovative drink of the week, and the staff are lovely.”

I recently visited The Forge in Washington, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. If you’re looking for a spot that perfectly balances a cosy, welcoming atmosphere with top-tier food, this is it. The standout for me was the lamb and mint pie special. The pastry was perfectly golden and crisp, and the lamb was incredibly tender, paired with a rich gravy that had just the right hint of mint. It’s exactly the kind of elevated comfort food you hope for. To accompany the meal, I tried a Pinot Noir from Romania. It was a brilliant recommendation, smooth, elegant, and it complemented

Hidden gem of a place, cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Food was outstanding. Served by a friendly young man called Harry who made our experience special. Thoroughly recommended.

Beautiful food. Excellent offering on steak night. High quality food at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and warm. The location in the Washington village and the building itself is beautiful and steeped in history. A must do for anyone in the north east or anyone passing through.

Absolutely delicious food!!! We got the crab and king prawns starters, and the steak sharing platter for main. Superb.
