What guests say
Sadly we weren't staying in this fantastic pub but I'm sure we will one day. The food is outstanding and both the food and service deserves more than a large tip. Everything about The Forge is friendly, welcoming and memorable. We booked a table and spent our 25th Wedding Anniversary (just the 2 of us and the dog) and have the best memories to take away!! Thank you to everyone who works their socks off creating such a warm welcoming happy place ❤️

The nicest inn we've stopped at. Ten minutes drive from Whitby centre, Surrounded by beautiful scenery for miles around. The room we had was the suite, it was extremely well furnished, clean, tidy and relaxing to unwind in. Downstairs has a very cosy bar area with a log burner, the decor is very country cottage/traditional English. The dining section is very clean and well kept. We were waited on and looked after, having no complaints with the service or food at all. Very nice. All in all we'd return to the Forge Inn without hesitation, thankyou!

We recently visited for food, we were a family of 6, and arrived about 15 minutes before opening time on a Friday evening. How lovely the staff were who noticed us outside and invited us in early. Once inside we were promtly shown to our table and provided with menu's and drinks. I must say the staff could not have been more polite and welcoming. The food was also enjoyed by everyone in attendance and we were all pleasantly surprised how nice the whole experience was.
