We stopped off tired and hungry after visiting Donegal. The Forge was the only place we seen open and I was really
impressed a chippy in a tiny town was serving veggie burgers. Decided to eat in, the kids loved their meals. I had a vegetarian curry which was lovely. My partner loved his meal also. Really reasonably priced with a good variety of options on the menu.
Most importantly the service was fantastic, all the staff were friendly and welcoming and a real credit to the place.

I’ve only ever visited here on a Friday or Saturday and it’s always busy. Some people ring ahead but I don’t mind waiting.
I waited 10 minutes for my order but they were filling up lots of other orders and the chips I had were freshly cooked so you can’t complain. When a place is as busy as this it’s a good sign the food is great.

My partner and I don’t really know the Belleek area as we were staying at Lusty Beg.
My partner googled this place ‘The Forge’ the reviews were good so we tried it.
We went there and the moment you walk in the staff are so friendly and good banter.
The food was superb and so tasty, I love knowing the fact that it’s HOMEMADE especially their chips, are to delightful!
It is far from expensive for how tasty the food is and after eating once we certainly will eat there again.
The owner he was lovely he gave us places that we could visit and try out.
We had a lovely convo about things, anytime now we are in Belleek we will always call in for food and defo to say hello!
Can’t fault it at all, lovely clean place, plenty of room to sit not cramped up like sardines!
They don’t rush you out your door, they actually take time to hear how you are and TALK!
Honestly I’m really happy with this place and would advise anyone to eat here, you won’t be disappointed!
I wish ‘The Forge’ all the best and we hope to come back next time we are in the area,
Laura & Gary

Driving threw Belleek stopped off for lunch, that was a regret. Lasagna, combo veg soup & tuna toasty please, safe enough options you'd think! Veggie soup was like a think broth 1 bit of carrot & pot not great but warm accompanied with a tuna sandwich (no toasty) loads of butter & can of tuna just emptied into it, the sandwich just crumbled as no mayo to hold tuna together, such a mess, no presentation, a disgrace to dish that out. Hubby mentioned to the waitress lasanage was cold. Chef returned back the same slice like it exploded on a side plate, even the friendly waitress agreed, he refused to eat it as afraid of food poison. Time to pay, I explained I'm NOT paying for the sandwich or lasagna as didn't eat either. She spoke to the chef & agreed with me. Left Hungary & with no apology. Paid for chip, soup & drink. I'm appalled with the chef, he thinks it's acceptable for diners to receive & pay for a meal of this standard. Unfortunately I did not take a photo.

While out for a drive with my nieces we stopped for lunch in Belleek, at the Forge.
We were shown to our table quickly and our order was taken promptly.
The food was really good, fresh and plentiful.
The ladies attending us were lovely, very friendly and helpful.
The Forge is an excellent place for a quick freshly prepared lunch.
My friend and I had stopped for takeaway en route to Mayo a few years ago and we still remember the excellent fish and chips we ordered

We stumbled across this wonderful eating place. We fell in love the moment we stepped in this place! The food,especially the posta dish, was the best we have eaten in all of Ireland! Chris, keep up the good cooking!
The staff is also what makes this place what it is..... truly the sweetest people of all northern Ireland!
We will miss this place!

Stopped here for a meal one Friday evening. I had a steak baguette, it was more like stewing beef on a baguette rather than steak. . Nice homemade chips, Ordered chicken wings also and would have expected a salad with them but there were just five chicken wings on the plate.
Only one toilet for everyone to use, but very clean and well decorated

Visited The Forge with friends and had a wonderful dining experience. The lady and gentleman running the show were warm and welcoming folk with fantastic customer service. The menu is simple yet genius, down to earth dishes that offers something for everyone - even a vegetarian pasta! The Forge was our highlight from our visit to Fermanagh - a real asset to the community of Belleek, we left with a warm feeling in our hearts - we will be back!

Strange the sit in menu isn't as good as the take away. We wanted pizza but we're staying miles away so wanted to sit in. We'd have happily eaten out if the box at the table.
Food we did get was grand, staff pleasant , seemed clean. Would eat there again

The best fish and chips I've ever had in a takeaway/cafe. If only they were based in Dublin.
Great size portions and excellent price too. A must try when passing through the town.

We were staying at the rossharbour resort and fancied a chippy and this was the closest and it had reasonable reviews so we thought we’d try it!
The ladies that work there were really nice and very welcoming but the food just wasn’t great, the burger I ordered had been very over cooked, which made the meat very dry and hard to swallow, my gf ordered a curry chip (basic item) which sounds hard to mess up but they did! At first we thought it was gravy at first, it was very different in colour to how it normally is! The chips were very soggy and tasteless!
Food was very disappointing but the ladies were so lovely 😊
