Popped in for a couple of drinks. Really enjoyed our drinks and nachos- nice heat and fresh salsa with them. Great service from Holly

On entering The Forth we had an incredibly upbeat and friendly welcome from Holly. The nachos with the beef short rib/brisket were delicious and the drinks as good as ever . Thanks Holly for making, it as always, a reason to return

We went here yesterday after a 5 hour train journey to see my family and had been ordering drinks all evening. i went up to the bar with my brother and cousin and the bar lady refused service to both of them accusing them of doing drugs. saying that their jaws were singing which is absolutely untrue and quite a statement to make as they both have tics and even i grind my teeth with anxiety. then when my cousins dad came over he was all nice about it and said we can carry on drinking. very discriminate against young people

Absolutely love this pub, especially on matchdays! The service is consistently great, and the staff are incredibly friendly. My only minor disappointment is the frequent menu changes. Recently, I ordered the chicken tenders expecting the usual generous portion. Unfortunately, the latest version fell short of expectations. Priced at £16, they resembled more like ordinary chicken nuggets, possibly from frozen. It's a shame as it used to be good value for money.

I caught the train up to Newcastle to see a friend, who had booked a table for 2 at the Forth for lunch. He had not been there before but it was close to the train station! The welcome was very friendly, our table had been set up for us, and the barmaid (Holly) couldn't have been more helpful. She chatted to us about the beers and showed us to our table. We both ordered burgers, and I have to say that mine (Boss 2) was the best burger I have EVER tasted. It may have been £16, but it was worth twice that! The atmosphere was great and the service was immaculate

What happened to this place! Used to be a great boozer but now it’s a shadow of its former self. The foods average at best, the beers flat and the venues starting to smell and got flies, not pleasant. Still some nice staff but that can’t be said for all of them. I’m not sure who’s got it now but I hope it changes hands soon, the town wall and gunner tavern are blowing it out the water!

A few beers with work colleagues as I was up in the area, and they know I like a good pub and good beer. This place didn't disappoint! I was saving myself for pizza a bit later, so we didn't eat, and I didn't see anyone else eating, so can't comment on that. I can, however, comment on the fine selection of ale available. A good range from pale to porter, and even a stout on keg. The staff were brilliant and eager to please. Seating is comfortably spaced so as to maximise capacity whilst not putting you on the lap of the person at the next table - important if you're wanting to eat! Nice large windows would provide some lovely sunshine and light during the day, I'm sure, but it's dark outside, so not doing much. Patrons were friendly and the atmosphere was quite happy, with music pumping out at a level that provides enough to blanket from hearing too much of other conversations, but not so loud you have to shout. Not bad tunes, either, if I recall correctly. Now normally I'd be concerned about the windows in a place like this from the perspective of zombie apocalypse, but the fact we're on something of a back road here provides a little security by being out of the way. Plus all those tables would probably be useful to bar up the entrances and give you a nice defensible bottleneck through the main doorway.

Shrimp po-boy was £15.50 - dry bread, defrosted breaded prawns, some floppy lettuce and spiced mayo with a few French fries. £4 for a small ramekin of supermarket style coleslaw. More of a rip-off than airport food. Disappointed.
