Nice Meal No Guiness Got Marstons Own Brand Yuck lol

Excellent service and wonderful food. The whole team were working hard, we were seated quickly. Everyone was friendly and definitely recommend. We had our little dog with us and the team couldn't have done more.

Had a wonderful Christmas Day meal. Atmosphere was great. We all enjoyed our food. Food was perfect and staff were lovely. Never disappoints. Will definitely be coming back and strongly recommend. Thank you for making our Christmas special 😊

Great meal and service. Would recommend and come back

Came here for family catch up havent been here for quite some time .Felt one member of staff was abit in your face while we was waiting for the rest of our party team member seem to be a nuisance. Food was overpriced for amount of plate size we got and drinks were highly priced too wouldnt recommend it at all it didnt seem very busy for a Saturday can see why.

Lovely festive meal last night. Food delicious and service excellent. We had been last year and enjoyed it so much we booked again for this year and will probably be back for 2025!!

Lovely Christmas family dinner. Staff were amazing nothing was too much trouble. Had the pate and hake of the Xmas menu the pate was delicious and the hake melted in the mouth. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning

Fantastic festive dinner menu, wide range of options to suit all our party guests. Service was exceptional, food was of high quality the same as every meal we have received here, the quality is not just for Christmas but for every meal and occasion. Value for money, we are already looking forward to our next meal here at the forge

The food was lovely, and the staff were very polite and helpful. The tables are well spaced

Nice clean pub with a nice atmosphere.

Very good service, staff friendly and genuine, food good quality and served hot and in good time. Very reasonable prices and good menu choice. Tables not too crowded so felt fairly private even in a busy pub on Sunday lunch. Large car park so well worth a visit.

Came here for the Christmas menu food and it was very underwhelming. The food is very basic. The place is kept clean and the staff were nice but let down by the food. The pate starter was very nice but the festive Mac and cheese was a huge letdown. Lacked cheese in the Mac and cheese or that it had it but you couldn't taste it as the cheese used must be very grade. Dessert was nothing special either very stodgy. Overall I would not come back for the food but the beer was good.

Great local family pub for food and drink would defo recommend

A lovely venue to spend time with friends and enjoy great food.

The restaurant itself was fine, food arrived quickly and staff were really pleasant.. portion sizes and food was great.. However.. we were seated in an area with another large family with a lot of children.. would not normally be an issue at all as we had a little one with us ourselves.. the young boys in the group were playing football indoors.. which at first was just irritating until the football got launched at our table hitting my mum and her plate ending with it on the floor.. she was also sitting next to my 18 month old nephew.. a few inches to the right and it would of been a direct hit to his face.. it also luckily happened that we had just removed the glasses as this could of been a lot worse with broken glass all over the place.. we then complained to staff and were told “we will have a word with them” which never happened.. we instead were given evil stares by the other family for the remainder of their time there.. to the point that my mother was in tears as she felt very intimidated.. I understand this behaviour isn't the restaurants fault.. but surely customer safety and welfare should be upmost concern and we did not feel this way.. it was a birthday celebration which we all left feeling upset and frustrated. As I stated I know this isn’t the restaurants fault per say as all the staff we interacted with were lovely… a real shame that the experience was tarnished so much by other people and the lack of care for us.

a pleasant night on wednesday 6th dec with 5 others, would go again. Best wishes

Great place for food. Brilliant chef. Very clean and welcoming. Staff are lovely.dressed up lovely for Xmas . Best place I've been to recently.

Used to work here it’s absolutely amazing! Just came here with a massive group of production people and they served us all separately, paying separately and everything! amazing.

Lovely Christmas meal from the festive menu. Warm and friendly atmosphere I would thoroughly recommend.

Nice cheap chain pub. Get what you pay for but nice.

We live 100 miles away and were recommended The Forge for my sister's wake in September. Jade, Sarah and all the staff were really helpful and friendly in helping organise everything . Buffet was varied and dietary needs were catered for. Thankyou .

Staff members were really friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent. Reasonable prices. Will visit again

Everything was perfect, staff, service, food, all spot on

We held a wake for my late mother Pamela here, it's very convenient after a service at Gornal crematorium. The Buffet was excellent, and the room had a nice calm, respectful atmosphere. Staff are excellent.

Was there for a wake Good selection of food presented nice cosy atmosphere

Lovely venue and atmosphere. Hired for a funeral wake. Lovely food, tea, and coffee. Friendly, kind, welcoming, accommodating staff.

Excellent meal. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend a visit

First time we visited, was a lovely chill atmosphere with friendly staff who were very accommodating as I was running late to our booking. The food was lovely, shame we didn’t have the room for dessert - we will visit again.

Friendly and helpful staff, warm and welcoming atmosphere, outstanding food . A pub well worth a visit.

Had my mother’s wake here today and the buffet was excellent. Good choice with a combination of hot and cold food. Would highly recommend this establishment.

Lovely food and staff were friendly and attentive

Had a great visit at The Forge. Sarah and Jody were super friendly and helpful. One of our party has allergies and they were happy to show us how to order after looking the pub website. Looking forward to visiting again.

Found it a very enjoyable food was nice and the staff were great,polite and made you feel welcome and advise a visit I will be definitely returning

The Forge in Pensnett is a brilliant place! The staff are so friendly and always go out of their way to make you feel welcome. It’s rare to find such genuine, attentive service these days, and it really makes a difference. The food is always spot on – tasty, well-cooked, and a great choice for any occasion. We’ve enjoyed it so much we’ve already booked to come back at Christmas. If you’re after a cosy spot with great food and even better service, The Forge is definitely worth a visit!

Lovely and clean pub, staff were friendly and the food was also good Would definitely visit again and would also recommend to friends and family

We came here as we wanted to try somewhere different to our usual places, we had been to the circus at merry hill, we were very impressed with the service I came in and said I had a table booked for 5.15 the lady said gluten free table and said she had just placed menu down on table, she was aware of our booking which I thought was lovely, whilst there all staff were very friendly, I saw they had a Christmas menu was looking at it and they had a gluten free option for over Christmas which not many places have. Needless to say we are booking up for boxing day and I've tagged my mom and sister along so there will be 6 of us. The food was amazing steak was cooked to perfection. Service was brilliant and very accommodating with allergies.

Lovely, burger was amazing and the best I have ever had.

Love this pub! I rediscovered it 30 years after first going there. I never forgot it but couldn’t remember where it was. So glad I’ve now found it again 😀Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is always spot on….never had a bad meal here. Warm and welcoming pub with a nice beer garden and children’s play area. And it’s dog friendly…

We were running very late because of traffic, they kept our table for us although it was busy in the pub. From the moment we ordered our drinks until we left, we had the best dining experience considering we had not been to this pub before or knew any other pubs in the area.

Food was yummy, service was ok but add more ops to the kids menu.

Good food but shame about some of the staff members behind bar was rude and talk down to you and disrespectful not on at all keep acting like that people won’t use your establishment

Went on Saturday 19th October 24 at lunchtime. Ordered breaded mushrooms as starter, then fish and chips. Food arrived promptly and was beautifully hot. Staff pleasant, nice chappie experience.

A large group of us, we were served quite quickly and the meal was well cooked and presented.

Great food at a good price, lovely sirloin steak. Clean, friendly staff. Good budget pub

We had a lovely meal tonight at The Forge. lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and attentive,couldnt do enough to please us . We had the fish/ Chips and peas. I must say the fish was rather large with a light crispy batter with chunky tasty chips to go with it.It was very clean and the lighting was very good and i could see ( for once) what i was eating. We will visit again and have no reservations about recommending here to friends and family x Thank You x

We were a big group and the staff we Fab

After visiting here several years ago,we thought we would give it a visit, upon entering we were welcomed by the person behind the bar, we were shown to our table after ordering drinks and began to look through the menu, our food arrived and we were all impressed with our chosen dishes which were hot, tasty and value for money(made even better by the voucher I had). The staff were attentive asking how the food was and seeing if we wanted more drinks, will definitely be back in the future.

Been here a couple of times with my family. The service and food have been exceptional. The staff are very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food has been delicious on both occasions with very quick service. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere with the tables well spaced out. There's also a lovely garden area with beautiful views

We have been to the forge today for lunch as it was our 31 st wedding anniversary, the service was excellent as was the food, this place is the best place not only for its food but also it’s friendliness.

Great service it was busy but they still managed to get us a table Great staff 👍

Our youth club members have all thoroughly enjoyed their meals and puddings yesterday at The Forge, Lower Gornal Burgers and puddings for over 40 people 👏 Highly recommended as a venue to host community group meals. A huge thanks to the staff at The Forge especially Jodie, Chris and Mackenzie for helping us host a wonderful evening for everyone😊

Warm and friendly welcome by staff. Beautifully decorated dining areas, great food reasonably priced.

Compliments to all at The Forge absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch so tasty, hot and well presented all the staff are so friendly and cheerful the new Manager Diana is lovely thank you Kerry and Karen for our amazing food and thank you Lily and Jade for the service along with Wolfe you are all amazing

Thank you for a fantastic service and presentation. Keep up the good work guy, and a massive thank you to Jodie for her polite attitude. Regards Andy Oaklands upholstery Services 👍

We booked a table for 33 for my nephews 18th Birthday and The Forge staff couldn’t of been more accommodating! Communication was great as there were quite a few of us, food was top notch as was the service, very friendly staff & new manager Nicki was lovely! Play area out the back which the kids took full advantage of, everyone had a great evening, thank you all!

Had a great time during our visit! The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Whether you're looking to relax or have a fun outing, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Lovely pub with welcoming staff and an expansive menu. Will return

Food and atmosphere was excellent, would defiantly return

Lovely woman who works there gave us table service as could see we was taking long time ordering as kids was all over the place, also came over with pens and paper for kids to keep them occupied. Food was decent pub grub, park for kids and a good selection of alcohol

Me and my family visited The Forge on a Saturday afternoon for a meal. The food was amazing & served hot and quickly. Lovely atmosphere with a play area outside for kids too. The new general manager Nikki is amazing and nothing is too much. Will definitely be visiting again!

I went with my family the other day friendly staff new general manager who was amazing couldn't do enough for us 100% will return and 100% recommend to family and friends

Very fast service, great food, friendly bar staff...

Perfect food staff and service, Thank you

Meal was ok but wont go again drinks very expensive a pint and a double gin £15.50 double the price of my local disgusting price

A lovely family meal for my wife's birthday. What more can I say, the food was great and the service was spot on. My Daughter loved her Kids roast. Some of the best pub chips I've ever eaten. 👍🏻

Lovely staff. Nice food. Haven't been for years but I'm glad we visited today. Enjoyed the food.

The staff are always polite, very pleasant and welcoming everytime we visit, the meals are always very good and always quick service so we always receive them hot, keep up the hard work you do

Perfect place to eat, staff amazing food very tasty , highly recommend

The food was okay, just a little dry and over done with water gravy and missing a pig in blanket. The pint was £6.55 too which is very steep for this neck of the woods.

This used to be a really good pub. But as you can tell marsdens and their cutbacks, the staff are trying really hard to make the place work butts. Still doesn't change the smell of style beer and sticky tables.It's a shine to see these places go where it's going

Staff and food were amazing. Couldn't fault anything ⭐

Poor quality and poor value for money

Just been here. Walked in and immediately out. Customers made us feel unwelcome. Obvious regulars staring at us as if we shouldn't be there, bad language and rudeness ( burping loudly ) doesn't make a good atmosphere. Won't be back!

Thought we would try it again its been a few years from the last meal not good! But was pleasantly surprised with staff greetings and the meals were lovely. We will certainly go again has it is on the doorstep for us. So keep up the good work your doing there lovely place to relax in many thanks

Very friendly obliging staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Easy to book, nice food, nice atmosphere and pleasant staff😊

Ordered nachos . Nearly £10 came with no cheese . Definitely not enough to share . Also ordered gammon egg chips peas . No peas , no explanation . And only a tiny portion of chips . Not worth the money . Shall not be going back .

Can see why was an empty restaurant. Went in for a drink and thought would order food while there. Bar man friendly and directed to a table. A few dirty tables with glasses. No waiting staff So thought would order through the QR code but the online menu didn’t match the physical menu. No one to ask. Left after 45 minutes. Looked like a manger busy chatting behind the bar. Maybe a dozen people including outside to be looking after.

Lovely environment. The staff were so friendly.Food was great.

Other times we have come to The forge were funerals so nice to celebrate a birthday. (Took birthday cake in earlier same day.) Waited to be seated and lady who is given cake to earlier said oh that’s yr table 7 over there. Son thought it was odd as I hadn’t given my name to anyone for booking! So spoilt the surprise cake as he knew something was going on🙈 But food was all nicely prepared and tasted lovely. Will be back.

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic staff, food is too die for. Can't wait to come again.

We had the steak deal and it was gorgeous! Lovely friendly staff. Clean toilets and great atmosphere. Could not fault. After reading reviews I was dubious. However,I was proved very wrong. Excellent disabled facilities.

Our experience on 25th August was fantastic. The food quality was great, and at a reasonable price. There was a bouncy castle, a colouring area and Elsa and Spiderman characters for the children to play with.

Visited this pub for a wake following a relatives funeral. They put on a lovely buffet and the staff were very respectful.

A great experience from beginning to end! Thank you! :)

As always we had a great experience. We were greeted by Jade and Jodie with lovely welcoming smiles and built rapport with us straight away. The service was efficient and nothing was too much trouble. They created a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely environment. The staff were so friendly especially with my little boy. Food was lovely and reasonably priced :)

Lovely place to eat, you can order your food from the table with their app , the food was lovely the staff were very nice

The staff that served us today where a pleasure, very friendly nothing was to much for them, always smiling jodie and jade thank you, to beautiful ladies, Jodie also served me a different say for my other half birthday, serve was fantastic both times xxxx

Haven’t been for a long time but wow we were so Impressed last night, food was delicious and served in a timely manner, staff were polite helpful and hard working. Went above and beyond for us to help celebrate our mom’s birthday. Deffo will be visiting more often. Thankyou so much to the staff.
