The Forge Kitchen - Ipswich

Visited with my son for lunch on the 7th December 2023. Venue was cold so kept my coat on. Ordered the £35.00 Sirloin on the bone came with one Mushroom dry and soggy, half a tomato and some treble cooked chips. While the steak was cooked to my liking medium rare. Quite fatty, l had to ask for salt and pepper, l was asked did l want any mustards l requested Dijon they never had any l then asked for French they never had any just english. My son had a couple of starters which were passable. Sadly my first and last visit not worth the £70 bill l paid.

I booked a breakfast at this restaurant while staying in Ipswich, and I was impressed by the excellent breakfast menu. It offered more exciting and varied options than just a traditional English breakfast. The staff, particularly Mimi and Dan, were knowledgeable and attentive. I will definitely be returning.

We were very well taken care of by the friendly Mr. Webb in his leather apron! He attended to us for three hours, fulfilling our requests for drinks and food, and made numerous trips up the stairs to the rooftop terrace. The restaurant is in a great location for a girls' get-together.

Had dinner and cocktails here in early December food was good, service was good, liked the cyberpunk stylings and cool venue as a whole.

Visited with friends for a Xmas meal . Had booking for 430 but when we walked in there was only like 2 other tables in the place so but weird we couldn’t get another time. So got seated straight away and ordered drinks that came out quick so did the starters as we had to pre book our meal, so we asked we not in a rush so hold fire mains . Must been the worse thing to do as didn’t get anymore drinks so I got up and asked the not so busy staff can we have another drink which they apologised and got us a drink very quick so when we said we ready for mains and this was lovely top marks to the chef thankyou but at no point did anyone ask is if food was ok or wanted anymore drinks So when dessert came I said to the waitress you are definitely missing out on making in this place as the bar service lets it down to which she asked if we want another drink but was to late now ready to leave Food was a1 but table service shocking when it’s so quiet
