Nestled within the picturesque 200-acre Middleton Lodge Estate, Forge promises a sensorial journey through the seasons that in an evocative and innovative way marks it out as one of the most intriguing and exciting fine dining experiences in the UK right now.
Under the expert guidance of head chef Jake Jones, the restaurant has earned both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star, reflecting its commitment to both culinary excellence and sustainability. Forge's tasting menus, available in both vegetarian and vegan options, are a celebration of seasonal produce, much of which is grown on the estate itself.
The innovative dishes are designed to tell the story of the land, with ingredients like honey and birch sap harvested directly from the estate. The restaurant's dedication to low food miles and local sourcing ensures that each dish is not only delicious, but also environmentally conscious.
Alongside this, Forge offers a carefully curated wine selection that complements its seasonal tasting menus. The list features a diverse range of options, including both local and international wines, chosen to enhance the flavours of the dishes. The sommelier team is dedicated to sourcing bottles that reflect the same commitment to quality and sustainability as the food, often highlighting biodynamic and organic producers.
