The Forge used to be one of my favourite places for fish and chips in the UK, so we were really looking forward to coming back. We ordered the fish and chips first with an Oyster Stout. The food itself was still good, but unfortunately the service was a little disappointing this time. We ended up waiting quite a while and, after asking about our order, noticed the fish had already been fried and left to the side while the chips hadn’t been prepared yet. It seemed like the kitchen had just got a little distracted, and they started scooping the chips once we asked. We also came for oyster happy hour and the oysters were really fresh and definitely worth trying. A little tip if you’re going for happy hour: start queuing around 5 minutes before it begins as the queue builds quickly. You place and pay for your order at the counter, then you can wait on the other side until they call your number. Still a great spot for fresh seafood by the harbour, and hopefully the wait for the fish and chips was just an off moment. Order type: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30
