Old Forge

Church Street, Storrington, RH20 4LA

The Old Forge, under the same ownership since 1988, has dedicated itself to creating interesting food served with an exciting range of both New and Old World Wines; their name has become synonymous with high quality cooking and value for money. Here is a restaurant where the noble indulgence of the pursuit of gastronomic excellence is not confined to home base. Clive Roberts, the chef-patron, as well as running a kitchen producing interesting and thoughtful dishes, also presides over a wine business and runs excellent wine and food trips world-wide. Another pleasing feature of the place is the sheer value for money, with a carte menu at around £30. House wine at £13 will hurt nobody, but if you insist there is ample opportunity on a wine list displaying the same skilled approach.

REVIEWS OF Old Forge

Josephine (20 November 2011)

We ate at the Old Forge last night - 19/11/11 - and it was absolutely stunning - both the starters and main courses were superb and the sweet selection amazing.

The price for two of us having three courses plus drinks, bottle of wine and desert wine was under £100.00 and the meal was definitely once of the best we have had in a long time - definitely competing with some of the top London restaurants that we are lucky enough to be able to frequent.

Well done Old Forge - keep it up (although the service could be a little bit quicker!!)

Nicholas (10 August 2009)

In August ’09, I had a meal at the Old Forge with a group of friends. We were given a room to ourselves; there were eight of us, which was perfect. The service was attentive without being intrusive and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, cooked to perfection and tasted as good as it looked. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for that 'little bit extra, a special treat'.
