The Forge & Terrace in North Norfolk

The meals were really overpriced and disappointing, service staff were very friendly and we didn't want to complain, but a couple of the meals were pretty awful to be honest, and the rest of them barely passable for £16 odd quid each. A lentil and mushroom stew for £18 that was barely a starter size; a child's pasta for £9 that was eaten in 3 mouthfuls. All round, really delighted with kelling heath facilities, and the woodland lodge is fabulous, but the restaurant really needs an overhaul. As others have said, a captive audience shouldn't justify such overpriced poor choices

Excellent meal on Tuesday evening. The waiting staff (Lyndsey and Kayleigh) were so attentive and professional and the meal was delicious. Beautifully presented and very tasty. Our first time there and we will certainly be back.

We visited as a family and had a huge issue which I’m not going into now. I’m only reviewing to say how excellent the restaurant manager, Tony, was. He could not have been better. The waiting staff were really good too, but Tony went above and beyond

They try hard here, and we holiday @ KH twice per year. We love the place, and always keep the last night as our "eating out" night. We had the smoked mackeral + couscous salad + grilled fish and chips peas etc (gluten free). The place is a little "tired" now, but the food was ok. There are limited options if you like variety, but lets be honest, this is a family place not TDH.... :-) Please add morte "non chip" options and more grilled options perhaps ? Thanks

Absolutely fabulous Sunday roast. Great portions (adults and children) with huge fresh yorkshires, proper roasties, fresh perfectly cooked veg and meat. Great service. Really pleased.

Very obstructive staff 'have you booked?' Lots of shuffling of paperwork, finally got an immediate table. During our time at table hardly anyone came in, lots if empty tables! Seems staff are only employed for bookings to minimise hours/ pay. We remember this being very accomodating and friendly. No more sadly.

To be honest, I’d set an expectation so I wouldn’t be disappointed, and not surprisingly I was right. To summarise, Staff were very friendly and helpful. That was a plus. Menu, limited and basic, with in my view limited choice. Food was average at best and definitely overpriced for quality, but I guess that’s because they have a captive audience. With the potential of that “captive audience”, they could really up their game in terms of choice and quality. I appreciate we all have differing views in what’s good, but for me it’s not a place I’d be enthusiastic about returning to - shame…

Was staying on the site for a week and gave this place a visit on 20th June 2023. The menu wasnt that good for us but we did find something each that we liked. I had cod and chips but found the batter too crispy, the wife enjoyed her Hunters chicken . The day before we had dinner at the Ship Inn which was a lot better than this place. Service was ok, but didnt like to hear the waitress moaning about the tip amount that had been left on the next table. We only visited once going elsewhere other days

Very friendly staff, great selection of alcohol to choose from. Snacks from the menu were a decent prices and nice. Beautiful and cosy seating areas.

Maybe because it Was out of the busy period but a very disappointing and expensive visit! Had 2 starters, 1 Childs meal ( very poor quality) 2 burgers and 1 beer, 2 small soft drinks and bill was over £67.00 Service was slow when only 3 other tables in and 3 staff members. When expressed disappointment in food it was shrugged off by staff. Been told by others pop up street food available outside in the summer so shall do that instead !

I was a little dubious about eating here after reading reviews but we decided to give it a try with a baby and a toddler with a severe dairy allergy in tow. We turned up without a booking (it is advisable to book - we didn’t know this). The staff were very welcoming and were able to fit us in. Our waitress, Amanda, was reasonably confident to tell me s which meals were safe for our son but went to check with the chef. Service was quick and the food was lovely. The only negative was the price of the wine!

Excellent cooked breakfast. Well presented and value for money. Good service and decent coffee. Nice location overlooking the pool. Clean tables.

Firstly I want to say this review in no way reflects on the two female members of staff who served us over the bar...drink service was friendly and fine. We decided to come and have lunch here as we have been visiting and staying at Kelling Heath since we were small children, 50 plus years, and we really do love it here. Sadly we won't be eating here again, and didn't actually get to eat this time. The one vegetarian option that we decided to make do with was unavailable (had been out of stock for days apparently, and it was only a veggie burger?) No alternative was offered so we suggested maybe we could have the ploughman's but substitute the meat for a portion of chips instead. The server had to go and have a long winded discussion with the "chef" who loudly made it clear he wasn't happy and it wouldn't be a "full" portion....very petty and mean spirited as it was the restaurants stock issue that was the problem we had to beg to be fed! As we were also sitting on the terrace because we had our dogs and it was a hot day, we were given a buzzer to come and collect our meals which took about half an hour for a mostly cold dish, which is fine I suppose until you see staff sitting on same terrace on their lunch break having their meals brought out to them, incidentally on proper plates with cutlery....if you are a paying customer at the Forge your full price meal comes in a takeaway bag which is pretty shocking. What was more shocking though was the big slabs of meat thrown all over our meals when we opened the cardboard boxes. I thought the days of treating people with special dietary requirements like second class citizens were over a long time ago but not at The Forge apparently. We wondered why the tables were all empty on such a glorious day but we certainly learned why! Got a refund and went to a great pub on the coast where we had fantastic food for the same price....on plates!

Absolutely love Kellingheath we've been visiting for over 10+yrs..... I certainly know that covid has had a MASSIVE impact......however, I really do think that the Forge n Terrace really need to STOP being so greedy on their wine sales...... £19.50 for two large glasses of wine (I nearly felt like Del Boy and fell through the bar hatch).......no wonder the bar man said "it's cheaper to buy the bottle" .......I'm certainly no tight arse, but please..........don't take the p@@@@@@@

FAULTY TOWERS.! Went for breakfast Only 3 tables eating and waited 15 minutes still no sign of a menu. Went to the bar to ask as there were 3 behind the bar chatting. Finally got the menus. Another 15 minutes passed no sign of taking the order Had to go back to the bar to ask! Finally someone came over to take the drinks order I said we are ready to order everything as I felt another 15 minute wait for the food order. Breakfast arrived No cutlery Finally got cutlery and ate. Breakfast was good but service shocking! Went that night for dinner Ordered starters And mains Mains came out no starters ..! Gave us free drinks Come on kelling sort it out And we are owners Train the staff properly

Had some nice coffee and good service, but the music is toe-curlingly bad, loud and intrusive. It's hard to hear yourself think.

met with friends staying at Keling Heath in one of the caravans & ate in the restaurant area. The area is spaciously laid out, staff in masks. It was curry all round for us which was plentiful and tasty. Nice wine, good smooth pour ale & fruity cider. Didn't try desserts this time but definitely will on our next visit.Well organised, would recommend and will return. beautiful area to walk the woodlands with plenty of wildlife flitting about.

After visiting Kelling heath for the past 30 years, decided to buy a caravan here earlier this year...COVID-19 has killed this and the staff don’t know their elbows from their backsides quite frankly!We visited last week and had a meal in the restaurant, there were 8 of us in total. Food was fine no complAints.At 9:30 another owner was complaining at the bar about where their food was, they’d had a 3 hour drive up there and they’d ordered food at 8:30.They were told that the chef had gone home and their order had been swiped off the board! The poor woman was crying!We visited again this evening at 5pm to be told that we weren’t allowed no more than 6 of us in a group. We had 7, 4 adults 3 kids! And that no 2 families could mix!We went into the pizza place next and sat down all 7 of us to be joined on the Next table by a group of 9!!! Eeeer confused...After our pizzas We went to look in the bar to see if there were any spaces for a drink, again told no more than 6 and no 2 families to mix... very confused! My husband went to speak to the manager in customer services and my husband was then told that due to new government rulings that yes no more than 6 and no 2 families... The manager was then off to Every caravan, night jar, tent to tell guests that if they’re more than a 2 family party that one party would need to leave or rent a separate caravan!This is just outrageous, we looked on the news and there is 0 mention of this and WHY after being checked at the COVID-19 check point, why weren’t we told this!!!!I’ll be putting in a formal complaint and contacting trading standards.

Just visited Kelling Heath after months at home. I was impressed by the standards that the team has put in place to make people feel safe. Visors and face masks for staff, good social distancing, 1 way systems, hand sanitisers, and extra cleaning all made our family feel safe during our stay. Well done Kelling Heath.

Having read some dubious reviews, we decided to brave the Forge anyway, We had a very nice meal, with great service from a charming waitress, Wines were excellent too. No complaints at all

We have eaten here before, there are actually two restaurants. We ate in the Forge as there was an evening carvery in the Terrace. Although the menu is rather limited we were pleased with our choices; the burger was excellent and the chicken with gnocci was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. The Forge is the smaller of the two restaurants which gives it a more intimate and quieter atmosphere. i would recommend booking a table at busy times.

Been a regular at Kelling Heath for years. They changed their restaurant arrangements a couple of years ago, much for the worse.Went back this September and ate quite a few meals in the Forge. Pleasantly surprised by quality, quantity and service. Much improved.Took a look at the Terrace which still wasn't appealing for me. Its good value and fast serve yourself, but do take look first at the spread at the servery.

Visited here whilst staying on site Gary was friendly and pleasant as ever, lovely smiley waitress (no badge,sorry) Food was good and tasty, hot and everything I expected. Not bad value and great selection of beer. They had a carvery special on that night too.

We were looking forward to the meal here today , as came last year and was most enjoyable , but has gone downhill I’m afraid .Went for meal in quite a large group , to which we had booked .we tried to get soft drinks which they had run out of , so not much choice . Nothing nice about the table just some wine glasses put at one end . We had to collect cutlery and serviettes. We collected our roast dinner which was average , then we managed to get a sweet menu, but only 3 things were available of the menu . It was getting on for an hour before the sweets were brought to the table , from when they were ordered.!!!!By that time the coffees had been drank . We did complain and asked to see the manager , he wouldn’t come and talk to us ,sent the barmaid who was quite obnoxious , obviously not trained to deal with the general public . Will not be recommending this place to any of our friends sadly .

A bit concerned based on previous reviews but booked a table to celebrate a birthday as we had a lodge for the weekend. Food and service was good - Tony and his team were friendly and we had an enjoyable evening.

The bar area is dog friendly and food was tasty. The choice of food for children was not as broad as we would have hoped but we found something for everyone.

Myself and the family I was staying with was very very excited to go and eat at the square and decided to get a bite of pizza for tea! To be completely disappointed. We ordered our food and sat down. We waited around 20 minutes for a milkshake. We went up to ask about it and was told the flavour we wanted they didn’t have. Forcing us to only have the salted caramel. To our left a family had just received their food and opened their box to only see that it was HALF there! Which was pathetic. I was sharing with someone, and so was my other 2 friends. When we received our food it was cut asymmetrically making one person have MUCH less to eat compared to the other. Not to mention the sizes were smaller than stated and also they forgot to mention how burnt it would be. We also ordered garlic bread which we saw being handled with NO gloves and a pathetically cold portion of chips. Honestly the only good thing about this place was the plug sockets I was actually allowed to use to charge my phone! Would NOT recommend this place!

Went to have a meal in the square at the Forge.. Can't fault the staff serving. Asked for a chicken burger no tomatoes as I'm allergic what did I get burnt burger and a huge slice of tomato. Husband had sausage and mash with soggy crispy onions and red wine gravy. He said that was ok. Very limited dessert menu. Very expensive for what we had, better burger at KFC. .. lucky they have a captive audience.

Would not recommend to anyone no menu on website so we just walked in to be told you need to book for restaurant was offered the terrace which we did what a joke only 4 items on menu would never go there again

Ordered the fish and chips and it was advertised as being cod but tasted like haddock. The batter was also quite greasy. We also found out that the fish was not fresh, it was frozen. Most of the chips were burnt also. £12 paid for this horrible meal and it wasn’t taken off the final bill. The only good thing was the free ice cream dessert they gave me. £5 for 3 scoops of ice cream though I’m glad I didn’t pay for it. Very disappointed as we are first time guests and was looking forward to a nice evening meal. Will find other places to eat off site going forwards.

What a shame! Curry buffet was dreadful. Tepid turkey curry, gloopy wet rice, bland tasteless everything. No labelling on the sides as to what was what. In the 50 minutes we were there, nobody checked the temperature of the curries, which were out when we arrived and left. A real shame as the food used to be nice here. Back to the bbq at the tent for us!

This is our second year as residents at Kelling Heath and the food quality has gone downhill fast. When we had our first lunchtime meals at the end of 2017 we were impressed by the variety on the menu and the quality and we had several more acceptable meals last year. We went for lunch this year and found that the lunchtime menu had been reduced compared with the evening menu. As we can no longer eat a big meal at night and now have our main meal at lunchtime we found this to be a problem. The food on offer was limited and average. We asked for the dessert menu

So we landed at 6pm without a booking. Manager was turning people away and tables were empty for the hour we where here. The staff had no urgency or pace.

Me and my wife came for dinner whilst we was staying at kelling heath Holiday Park. Food was good and the staff were lovely and friendly. I had the 10oz flat iron steak and my wife had some sort of burger we also both had a drink from the bar and the final bill was £40 which is what I expected to pay.

The little restaurant on the right which is called Breakfast on the square / Pizza on the square serves REALLY good full english :) Their mocha is very nice too. The staff are very accomodating and friendly. The view is beautiful

Been going here for more than 10 years. Recently they have been changing their restaurant arrangements quite significantly. All for the worst. The Terrace is now buffet only, and it is a very poor buffet too. The Forge now has a very limited menu and frankly not very appetising either. If its spice night in the Terrace, then as a family with children who don't like spicy food, you have no choice but to eat in the Forge and pay over the odds.

The food here has taken a dive little choice, often runs out even of that, poor quality. The specials nights are no longer of quality even the local pies have been replaced with pastry topped tray bakes.

Part of the kellingheath complex, the restaurant is full tonight, despite the site being quiet ! Obviously people getting away for the weekend. Fish and chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce, all good, belly pork, crispy crackling and bubble and squeak with caramel Vegas, very good too. Pudding, choc orange cheesecake, and sticky toffee pud with salted caramel ice cream.....all very nice . Our server Becky, was very pleasant, well done to all staff.

As locals we have visited Kelling Heath several times for a Sunday carvery and have always been very impressed by it. Yesterday we arrived at 11.50am (lunch is available 12 noon until 3pm) and were greeted at the desk by a young lady who, judging by the look on her face, clearly had other places she would rather have been on a Sunday. She was quite rude and unwelcoming. She took us to our table (you don't get a choice of where you would like to sit) and told us to go to the bar and collect our carvery tickets in our own time. My Husband went up to the bar just after 12 noon, collected our tickets and bought our drinks. Last time we had visited was September 2018 (five months previous) so we were shocked to learn that the price for a carvery had increased from £10pp to £13pp. Quite a hefty increase. We sat sipping our drinks and the Manageress of the establishment went over to the carvery area and, in quite a raised voice, pointed out to the two chefs that customers were now in and asked them why they were not ready to serve. She then gave them a telling off for having no decoration at the front of the food. Quite embarrassing for them when customers were within earshot and perhaps a conversation that could have taken place behind a closed door. We went to collect our food, my Husband first. He had turkey and I had beef. The chef put the turkey on my Husband's plate and told him to help himself to everything else. He then began carving my beef. After a few moments he looked at my Husband and said "Sir, you can help yourself to whatever you like" to which my Husband replied "Well I'd love to but unfortunately there are no utensils with which to serve". Clearly embarrassed and becoming flustered the chef finished serving my beef and then frantically rummaged in some boxes/drawers the other side of the counter for some utensils. After what seemed like an eternity, and with our meat becoming colder by the second, he resurfaced with some serving spoons. As I went to move along the line he called me back - as he had noticed that he had left a piece of string in my beef, which he promptly removed! We returned to our table to eat and noticed that several customers were now present and we were not happy to note that everybody had been sandwiched into one corner of the restaurant which, we can only assume, is to make the cleaning process easier for the staff at the end of the day. Not nice for the customers though. The food, well, my Husband's turkey had a lot of thick skin on it which he had to sit and remove, the carrots were overcooked and the gravy was so thin it was like tap water. Certainly not worth the £3 increase per head. As my Husband said after we had left, if it's this poor in February when there were only 10 - 12 customers present, what on earth will the standard be like when they are inundated with holidaymakers in a couple of months' time! Sorry Kelling Heath but you have gone downhill rapidly, both customer service and food. We are sorry to say that we will not be eating with you again and even sorrier to say that unless you up your game drastically you can expect a lot of complaints this coming season. Very disappointing indeed. There are some fantastic eating establishments in North Norfolk (The Ship at Weybourne is just a 15 minute walk from Kelling Heath and the food is to die for) and we would strongly suggest eating off the camp site rather than waste your money.

We ate here as it was too rainy and miserable to go into town. Thank goodness we we starving we both had sausage and mash - the sausages were dry, over cooked and tasteless they seemed to have been cooked and reheated. The mash was lumpy and it bizarrely came with diced swede, carrots and a few peas. The staff were very pleasant and dogs are allowed which made a nice change

Lovely lads on the bar and serving food, nice background music. Good sized menu and lots of drink selection including very well kept real ales. Food was hot, tasty and well timed. Would certainly recommend

Ate here 3 times in my recent stay. Lots to choose from - all the pub classics plus theme nights including roast , pizza , steak nights etc. The staff were very friendly and top service

Brilliant for watching football on big screen. Bad luck if you got a dog as you have to watch it on stupid small tv that keeps loosing signal.

Eaten here many times over the years when I've stayed at Kelling Heath. The curry is amazing as is pie night! Would recommend the sausage & leek pie! Delicious!

The carvery itself was perfectly fine thou a little lacking in choice of veg, red cabbage or something would of been nice + no chipolatas! The worse thing was they made my 3 year old buy a token for lunch which is utter madness. Its the only carvery ive ever been too that has this rule, all the others allow you to take a plate for your child and then when you get to your table you just all give some of your food to the toddler. When my children are 4 I am happy to pay for them, but 1-3 year olds don't eat enough to warrant paying and every other establishment realises this but not here. Very poor show

Have eaten here a few times whilst staying at Kelling Heath, the staff are friendly and helpful, There is a good choice of food, which is well presented, fresh, and good value .

Used this place during our stay at Kelling heath for a meal and for drinks during the week. Although busy, the service was good....friendly staff that did seem to care and good food. Bar prices are fairly good and in fact cheaper than many local pubs. There were 4 Norfolk cask ales on tap which was good to see. I would advise booking during busy periods.

Had the sharing platter and a child’s meal..

Having stayed on the site a few times last year I returned for the night.

As a family we have been coming to Kelling Heath for 10 years and have loved it and the restaurant, its always been excellent service. However this Easter its all changed in the restaurant, they must be cutting costs and reducing waiting staff as its order at the bar, unfortunately we were not informed so sat at the table like lemons! Initially we were asked to order drinks at the bar and some would be with us to give us menus and take us to the table after 15 minutes we had to queue again to remind them we were here! Sorry Kelling a very unhappy customer will look to go elsewhere next year.

lovely pint, nice lunch - good choice of sandwiches, nice touch to have soup or chips as a small extra. best chunky chips weve had in a while, and the soup!! this was very nice, tasted so nice - not out of a packet! also allow dogs into part of the bar and dining area. good move.

sat by lovely log fire had coffee and mulled wine. excellent. staff polite and efficient with a smile on their faces.

I don’t want to waste any more time with these people as I’m exhausted from the pointless exchanges with customer services, and the lack of any response at all from senior management. It’s enough to say that if you want your food to arrive late, burnt, at different times, half missing, and with the allergens that you’d asked to be excluded, then this is the place to go......especially if you want to never get served a drink.......

This restaurant serves pub food and also offers choices that are not usually found in most pubs. The meals are for the bigger appetites and even when busy the food is served fairly quickly after ordering.

Pequeña selección de menú vegetariano, especialmente el lado.

Decepcionante! ! ! Si quieres una pizza muy bien disfrazados con montones de queso y dos o tres piezas de abastecerse de su elección, entonces este es el lugar para venir. La pizza era ordenados y listos rápidamente que era fabuloso, sin embargo mina supuestamente tenía 3 coberturas que me costó encontrar entre el montón de queso. Mi hijo pidió la margherita con jamón no nos dimos cuenta de que venían con tomates secados al sol y tomates cherry es 12 y autistas y está tratando de ser un poco valiente y empezar a hacer pidiendo para sí mismo hablé con la persona detrás del mostrador acerca de cómo quitar los tomates y él se negó, ya que les cuesta mucho hacer otra. . Realmente ¿cuánto cuesta la masa y algunos quesos? . Yo estaba allí y participó en tomates y sacando mientras hacerlo sólo encontramos a 5 pequeños trozos de jamón! ! ! ! Puede ser pequeño y tedioso para algunos, pero esta es nuestra primera noche y no era lo que queríamos para empezar nuestras vacaciones. Cualquiera con un niño autista sabe cómo una pequeña cosa como los tomates que aparecen en su comida puede cambiar toda la situación actual. Esperaba que el resto de kelling heath seguirá como recordamos y como hemos tenido hasta ahora, que ha sido fantástica. . .

En la noche de 2 de nuestra visita, comimos en el restaurante, tuvimos que comer en la zona del bar porque llevamos a nuestro perro. Está limpio, el personal es excelente y la comida era buena (estándar pub pero bueno todos el mismo).

Decidimos comer aquí tener puso nuestra carpa en la tarde y queríamos algo rápido. El personal era muy bueno y la comida llegó muy rápido. Muy impresionado.

Yo estaba indignado por mi experiencia cuando fui a este restaurante. Las hamburguesas de carne de que dos de nuestros amigos tenían eran extremadamente seco, no podría haber sido comido y sabían como cartón. Los platos eran demasiado caros en 5 libras. 95 para una...

El Forge y terraza están en Kelling Heath y yo acabamos presentado esta crítica. Este lugar ofrece buena comida y bebida a precios razonables. El bar y el restaurante bar son perros y la terraza ofrecieron tenis de mesa entre otros juegos al aire libre...

Como estábamos en un grupo de Kelling Heath nos decidimos comer el domingo en el Forge y terraza. Tiene el ambiente de un pub restaurante Brewers Fayre, tales como, las opciones son la comida típica de pub y había un asador. La comida estaba bastante bien y no es caro y el límite de lo no asados lados más a su plato. El personal era muy amable y lo suficientemente eficiente, pero podría haber sido mejor capacitados.

Sad this used to be quite a good little restaurant with some quite adventurous specials. a cut above usual holiday park offerings.now I am afraid it seems to have gone back to basics in every sense.

Modelled on a Brewers Fayre or Beefeater this is sprawling pub in the heart of the park. As such it lacks a bit of atmosphereX Plenty of options of typical pub fayre. I had the burger and my partner scampi. Both were reasonably priced and substantial. We arrived just before the kitchen closed at 9pm so we had to order quickly. Staff were nice though.

We shouldn't really have come, I knew what it would be like but drifted in to it! Mostly families with kids. It was very busy as expected on a B/H Monday.Hubby liked his scampi. My giant yorkshire pud with bangers and mash and heaps of veg could have been good. But the vegetables were virtually tasteless (though seemed to have been cooked OK) as was the yorkshire and the gravy. It was very basic pub food, so I was astonished at the £12.95 price tag for mine. There are other far superior places nearby where we would have paid no more, and where I would rather have been.We would have done better eating something from the market stalls on a bench in the sun, so my fault! However, their great staff kept everything moving along, they were friendly and helpful and working their socks off.

Had a couple of meals in here recently and in all honesty the food wasn't too bad. Food was also quite good value and the carvery judging by the size of peoples plates was very good value at £9.95. Service was very friendly. Bar prices were not as expensive as some of the other places locally. If you want a reasonably priced meal, they are certainly not as expensive as some of the local pubs and restaurants. Whilst not a gourmet experience the visits were enjoyable.

Whilst the food was passable I'm afraid the service was not. Staff were undertrained and not up to scratch. Reservations hard to come by and waiting times excessive. A real shame as the holiday park is great but this let the side down terribly.

Expensive food, not the best cooked. Location and atmosphere is great.Locally sourced food, good selection.

Both great value carvery 9.95 adults £5.95 children lovely food. Curry night all you can eat £12.95 adult £5.95 children korma tikka masala beef madras vegetable curry lamb jalfrezi poppadoms , garlic naan, onion bhaji. Make sure you book both popular

The forge and terrace is situated at the hub of kelling heath camp site.You can relax, have a drink or a meal, small childs slot machine and pool table area.It is a little bit pricey but the staff are the friendliest ever and they try to make your visit a happy one

I was at Kelling Heath site with friends in one of their so called luxury homes - which was a caravan and was not luxurious at all. The pub serves good ale but the food was bland. I had a curry the first night and it was not very exciting; I forget now what it was exactly but there was hardly any spicey taste to it. Next night had fish and chips which was ok but nothing to get excited about. The desserts were good. If I were to visit this site again - which I have no intention of doing - I would use the pub for a drink but would eat elsewhere.

My wife and I had a short break atkellingheath and had a meal in forge&terrace.my steak was done to perfection and the presentation was excellent, my wife had fish and chips again excellent the beer batter my wife said it was very nice. The waitresses where smartly dressed and friendly and made you welcome, after serving the meal came back to see if everything was OK. We will certainly be returning.

Four of us went for breakfast and were not dissapointed, the breakfast large size lived up to its name and was really good , looked & tasted great & no grease in site I had eggs benedict and it was great We all enjoyed it

Stayed in a lodge on the Kelling Heath site so went to the pub a couple of times. I did have high expectations following pictures of food etc posted by them on Facebook etc, and the descriptions of 'locally sourced food', and 'seasonal menus'. However it was ok but average pub food. Both times many items were seriously overcooked to the point of being burnt (toad in the hole especially). I had the 'award winning' steak pie, but again it was dry and overdone...and small!Second time around I had the seabass, which in fairness looked great, and other than the seriously over salted mash was better than the other meals. The one exception that was outstanding was the lemon brûlée tart...which had it been served with fresh fruit would have been perfect. Soggy frozen ones spoilt the overall dish, but the tart itself was great. So overall an ok experience, clearly getting some bits right, but not quite making the grade. A shame because with a captive audience onsite they could be making a killing. A pretty much empty restaurant at 7pm in school holidays though tells a slightly different tale. Management would do well to look at the reviews on here and act on the feedback.

I can't really rate this place high enough. The food is amazing. The cost is not too bad either. The kids meals are great too. The salads are very generous and really nice.

Even though prices are steep you ultimately get reheated food with no local produce, seafood or fish.

After a walk over the stunning heath we enjoyed a meal in the restaurant. The food was good, locally sourced and freshly cooked. We had a starter of garlic ciabatta, I had plaice with new potatoes and vegetables, my husband had burger and fries. This was all delicious and we stayed for dessert, I had marmalade bread and butter pudding and my husband ordered apple crumble with cream. We enjoyed our meal, it wasn't cheap but I wouldn't describe it as overpriced either. If I was holidaying here I'd be happy to eat in the restaurant instead of driving several miles to eat elsewhere.

The Forge and Terrace is situated in the rather pleasant village centre complex of the Kelling Heath holiday park. As the village centre appeared rather charming, we decided that we would have a sit-down waiter-service dinner at the Forge and Terrace pub rather than driving to Weybourne or Sherringham to find a pub or restaurant. We wished that we had made the effort because The Forge and Terrace was a big disappointment. We noticed that the whole place had a rather greasy smell to it despite many of the windows being wide open. We ordered various drinks including fresh orange juice which was like no other fresh orange juice that I had ever tried - weird tasting with a highly diluted feel. The main meals were equally disappointing. I opted for fish and chips - a dish which couldn't have had a more cheaply-put-together feel. Bland battered fish, bland soggy chips and a bit of unappetising limp green stuff in the centre. At least the ketchup was OK. The worst part was that the price was about the same as you would pay for proper pub meal. My guess is that this place relies on the semi captive audience of the campers who don't want to drive to nearby villages. However, my advice would be to go elsewhere if you can. Having said this, our experience the Kelling Heath camp site generally was very positive - there is lots going on, the campsite is great, the village centre is lovely and the reception staff are well organised.
