Food and Drinks
Pros:
"Best roast I’ve had in Bristol…after trying a fair few great ones over the years (Pasture, Albion, Bank Tavern etc)."
"Excellent quality breakfast, I had the Eggs Royale and my husband the Forge Breakfast. The quality of the food was excellent."
"Brunch we had sausage baps with hash browns that were delicious!"
"I had small plates Korean Fried chicken, mac and cheese bites with a bowl of skin on fries which was just enough. It all tasted great."
"Lovely place for a Sunday roast, generous portions without being too much, good choice and both the starters and puddings had a great selection."

"Had a fantastic experience at the Forge & Fern. Honest, simple but wholesome British food."
"Best burger I have ever had! It's a beautiful atmosphere, very well designed and maintained."
Cons:
"Only quibble is the food was probably overpriced slightly for what you got."
"Food was amazing but I have to say that pasta was a little bit overcooked and salmon was a little bit salty as well."
"Really disappointed. Lovely design/layout as you go in with friendly staff, but the high end priced food was awful."
"Been here several times and it’s always a delight. We found one visit, when it was very busy, that we felt a little forgotten."
"The only thing I would suggest to improve is to widen the menu choices a bit more."
"First visit for us, party of 3. Restaurant is very stylish with lovely good quality food."
"Sadly today I experienced an inflexible chef response to preference and dietary need."
"Me and my partner came here for dinner. Firstly, the design of the F&F is absolutely stunning, inside and out. However the food & drinks are way overpriced."
