Forge is a lively restaurant and cocktail bar at 24 Cornhill in the City of London, a short walk from Bank station. Its open plan restaurant, central sharing table and booth seating accommodate weekday lunches, dinners, after work gatherings and larger celebrations.
The food menu combines familiar British restaurant dishes with broader international flavours. Starters and sharing choices include charcuterie, cheese, bread and olives, hot smoked salmon tartare, wild boar terrine, mushroom arancini and popcorn shrimp with miso mayonnaise.
Main courses range from beer battered fish and chips, pies and sausage with mash to salmon teriyaki, sea bream, mushroom risotto and lamb chops. Burgers and steaks add heartier options, while vegetable skewers, sweet potato tortelloni and a falafel burger provide meat free alternatives.
A separate dessert selection and an extensive drinks list allow a meal to move naturally into the bar side of the venue. Food is served from noon into the evening from Monday to Friday, making Forge particularly useful for City lunches, team dinners and drinks that continue later in the night.
Address: 24 Cornhill, London EC3V 3ND, England
