The Forge Kitchen

I absolutely love this place. Great atmosphere, brilliant service. The food was absolutely fantastic. The bar tenders are great fun to watch making cocktails from above. Definitely be going back.

The atmosphere and aesthetic of the place is lovely. We were sat near a really loud group of people, however, not the staff's fault. My partner found a staple in his food, but this was quickly rectified and we're given 50% off the meal. Lovely manager and staff. The food was great and the cocktails were even better:)

Location is brilliant right in the dock. Food it self is good quality for what you pay portions could be slightly better but can’t complain for the price. Would recommend one of the set meals. Drinks are fresh along with nice bourbons available. Perfect place for food and drinks and a walk in the docks.

An amazing restaurant with truly delicious food!! My partner is gluten-intolerant and around 80% of the menu is gluten free or can be made without using gluten. The burgers are delicious and I would highly recommend the wings as they were our favourite part of the meal!

Visited on Saturday 18th for my birthday meal. Booked online arrived at 18:00, I loved the Decor. They staff were friendly and attentive. I had The Stoker sharing board and my partner had a steak. All was cooked to perfection. The cocktails was very nice but small for the price.

We came here on July 5th for my wife's birthday and our wedding anniversary. We have not visited The Forge Kitchen before but we'll certainly be back! The service was brilliant, welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent 👌 My wife had pulled pork nachos for her starter and she said it was the best nachos she'd ever tasted. Similarly her steak was cooked to perfection. I had the Hog board and that belly pork was incredible! We will definitely be back 😁👍

First impressions - OBSESSED with the decor inside. Unique, industrial but cosy, just everything you want from a restaurant. They have a terrace upstairs which looks lovely too but it was way too warm for us😅 The food is so good especially considering the affordable prices and the service was amazing. From the moment we walked in to the second we walked out the door we were made to feel so welcome. Also wanted to give a shout out to our waiter Daniel who was so attentive, honest and friendly, making us smile and feel at ease the whole time ❤️ Overall The Forge was a great experience and definitely somewhere I would recommend to anyone visiting Ipswich!

The forge kitchen is a modern bar/restaurant with a really quirky and unique aesthetic. It has a nearly steampunk/industrial vibe and the food is really solid. I was here for a work event and so couldn't look through the whole menu but what I did have was delicious. The Vegan Big Jack was really tasty. The burger was cooked extremely well and the garnish was well portioned. Overall a really good burger! The skin on fries were also very tasty. It would be good to see a wider variety of different plant-based meals considering how good this one was. The service was particularly good, with staff consistently making sure my colleagues and I were well looked after. I would definitely advise visiting this restaurant, especially given how well they handled such a large party of people.
