I was in town for a few weeks and visited this restaurant. I was so impressed I had to visit again before leaving.Not only that, but I visited several other restaurants in Newcastle and Gateshead Quayside, which were in similar or higher price brackets, but none of them were quite as well-rounded as The Forge.The decor is rustic and low-key, but well finished. There is no pretentiousness, which makes for a warm, enjoyable atmosphere. The front of house staff are all friendly and attentive, even when being rushed off their feet serving a full house inside and out.The food is excellent. From the perfectly cooked scotch egg starter to the fish, lamb, or steak mains, down to the absolutely delicious desserts. The standout was the Cornish hake dish. We even took a 3 and 5-year-old on the first visit, and they produced some simple off-menu children's dishes which the kids both loved. Despite visiting only a few weeks apart, there were quite a few changes to the menu, which keeps it seasonal and exciting.I have paid more in other places in the North East for worse service, atmosphere, and cookery. The Forge is an absolute gem and despite being well above the average price for a restaurant in Washington, you absolutely get what you pay for, and it is worth every penny.

I really could not be happier to have such a wonderful restaurant on my doorstep. This little gem is a very high quality establishment with food that is comparable to some of the better restaurants in Newcastle and the wider North of England.We've been at all times of year on dates and with family and we keep coming back because the quality is consistently excellent.

Went without a booking late on Sunday (5.30pm) looking for some grub. Really nice guy, Arjan, accommodated us outside and informed of the meats remaining - pork and lamb - no complaints from me! The weather was nice, the sun was shining, the food was excellent, the staff were great. Special shout out to Arjan - what a Gent! Top notch

Quaint little place, we love coming here for brunch. Best fry-up I have ever had. Always fresh food, innovative drink of the week, and the staff are lovely.

Absolutely brilliant! Lovely food in a great setting. Had a three course meal and each dish was carefully presented, perfectly cooked and flavours worked well together. First visit here, but definitely not the last.

The Forge continues to offer superb food and service. Brunch is back with a good selection and the usual high quality of food. Have been twice now since the brunch menu started in December and both times has been excellent.

Sunday lunch for my wife's birthday we couldn't fault the food! Dry aged Aberdeen Angus beef melted in your mouth, just wished we had room for desert! Next time
