The Forge Tearooms - Mid Suffolk

Delicious fresh food, efficient and friendly service in a beautiful setting. We walked here from Swattesfield campsite with several adults and a bunch of children. We all found something we wanted to eat (from vegans to fussy eaters who just wanted a plain baguette). Children enjoyed the play area and we could have stayed all day.

We had never been to The Forge before because we typically park at the other entrance and walk from that side. However, this time we parked at a different entrance and discovered the cafe. We were impressed by the efficient organization and the high quality of the food. The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. We will definitely plan our future visits around lunchtime.

The restaurant offers delicious, fresh food with efficient and friendly service in a lovely environment. A group of adults and children walked from Swattesfield campsite to the restaurant and everyone was able to find something they liked, from vegans to picky eaters who preferred a simple baguette. The children had fun in the play area and we could have easily spent the whole day there.

This restaurant offers delicious food at a reasonable price, with friendly staff and ample portions. The team has taken extra precautions to ensure a safe dining experience. I highly recommend stopping by.

First time at Thornham walks as looking for wheelchair friendly places for the mother in law. Ended the walk at the cafe where we were served by a very friendly waitress. I am coeliac and was very pleased to see that there was a selection...of cakes that I could have other than the traditional gluten-free brownies. I ordered lemon polenta cake and it was amazing so much so that I asked for the recipe. Sam, the lady that had baked the cake came out and wrote it out for me. Thank you Sam. Can’t wait to try it. A brilliant place to end a walk
