sunday 14th november was my greandaughters 18th birthday we decided to celebrate it at the forge in gornal, I had read some negative reports on this site and was a bit apprehensive but I am very glad we did go there. There were 42 of us of all age ranges and I canot praise the staff enough. Everyone had the meal of their choice and all the food was excellent.
The meals were served on lovely hot plates and everyone enjoyed their meal.
Congratulations to the chef as to do 42 meals was realy something, I thought we would have had a long wait as there were so many meals, but the staff were so efficiant, bar staff and all, they are all a credit to the Forge.Thank you all for a lovely evening 10**********

We have been to the Forge now on a number of occassions, I had my daughters 16th and my moms 63rd Birthday there. We have booked to go again this Friday.

I enjoy the forge at gornal whenever i visit. it has a warm and inviting atmosphere, for all to enjoy. The staff are very attentive and seem bothered about looking after us customers, rather than clearing some plates and getting paid for it!! i have recommended the forge as it is good value for money being 2 4 1. the meals were excellent and there wasn't really a wait on food, we were shocked to see how quick the service actually was!! As a regular customer now to the forge i would recommend it to anyone, due to the value for money aspect and the pleasant place that it truely is. i remember this pub when it was the poachers pocket and it has changed a great deal as it feels much more open being very clean and tidy. i mean not everyone can be satisfied or can they?!?! but you never know until you try it. what can i say, in this 'credit crunch', with cheap meals that taste good, the place should be rated 10/10!! There werent any bad points about the pub, its just quite hard to find depending on which way you make your journey from!!
