The Forge in Basildon

Excellent venue for a 60th party,our barmaid was fast,efficient and friendly. First class! Buffet more than adequate.

Excellent value for meals

Been coming here for years and always feel so welcome with the family. Live acts put on are really worth attending. Staff are super cool and it's great to support a community business with local friendly people.

Food was great as always .. recommend the fish n chips .. better than any chip shop .. fri special buy fish n chips and get 1 free 😋

Just had a really lovely lunch here. Joe is so entertaining as well as attentive when serving. Food is very well presented. As someone who was shielding I felt very safe here.

Met some old work friends here that hadn't seen for 40 years. Good pub to meet and chat, quiet and good service. Food OK but beer a bit limited. Covid/Brexit/HGV drivers, take your pick.

Traditional little pub very much an aging clientele in the main part and tucked away in a shopping centre but the staff were fab and made a big fuss of my daughter which she enjoyed and the food was nice, well presented and good value for money.

. Decided to visit with friends to relive our youth (as this was our second home back then lol). Hasn't changed much in decor. Staff were nice. We ordered food which was a good price and were impressed with the size of portions and quality of food.

Love this place! Tom and his team work tirelessly in making every visit as enjoyable as they can. Food is sooooo good! Its a lovely family pub with good ambience, lovely service, helpful and committed to the customer.

Good pub food, pool table, darts and digital juke box. Very busy when football is on. Descent atmosphere.
