The Forge in Richmondshire

Charming ambience… subtle lighting… warm and welcoming. We had the smaller tasting menu. The food was superbly presented , delicious flavours with exciting combinations and seasonal influences… this food rivals the Fat Duck and L Enclume as well as the Raby Hunt but at a fraction of the price … Congratulations to this stunningly talented young chef and his team. The wines too were sensibly priced with a good selection to choose from…. We work in hospitality so feel well place to assess… we know what hard work goes into it to keep very high standards… An amazing place on the up and coming …. Great to have it in the area… Austin Lynch Millgate House Richmond

We booked in for the taster menu and wine pairing. This was a birthday celebration and intimate dinner for two. We had cocktails in the lounge first and mine was one of the nicest I’ve had in years. Subtle and delicate, not showy just lovely. The service was exemplary and each dish accompanied by an introduction and presented in a beautiful way. We finished with coffee and a night cap back in the lounge. Could not fault at all. Warrants high praise. The location is excellent, set on a peaceful woodland estate but close links to the A1M and Scotch Corner intersection. Whilst I highly recommend I worry it will become too popular to get a table! - the ambiance was just right. Amazing to have such quality a short drive away. MLE - Don’t change a thing.

a nice place they make you welcome and staff served us with open arms smiles and top service. we had a nice Afternoon Tea

Lovely restaurant; with fantastic food, great staff and top end wines, a real must for the Foodie. Will be back however not to stay. See separate review on the Hotel
