The Timber Batts Pub Forge

Peaceful location, very friendly staff, good food and drink and the most weirdly decorated pub I’ve ever been in, which work’s really well in a 15th century building. It’s a shame it only open Friday to Sunday but we will defiantly be going back.

Wow, what a pub. Lovely food, friendly staff and great beer. But the pub, never been to a pub I spent an hour just exploring the oddities on the walls, ceiling and table. Booked a table on a whim and couldn't recommend more highly enough other people do the same

After reading rave reviews, I decided to make a reservation at this restaurant and I was not disappointed! Located in the beautiful countryside, the moment you walk through the front door, you are greeted with a stunning atmosphere. We took our time exploring all the charming corners of the restaurant before ordering our meal. The portions were generous and the food was absolutely delicious!

We had such a great time when we visited over the Jubilee weekend. Such a friendly welcome and instantly fell in love with the inside and outside. We had bubba burgers which we had with a smoked jacket potato and smoked chips followed by Yorkshire pudding cheesecakes. Everything was homemade, tasted great and was so unique. We were never rushed and played some of the games on the table. We will definitely be back!

We wanted to visit a country pub for the evening and we found this very quirky pub full of eclectic items such as stuffed animals and gas masks. It’s well worth a visit as lovely friendly staff and great food. I had the vegetarian tofu with rice and veg. Hubby had ribs with chips. Huge portion sizes and delicious. We then had candy floss for pudding. We had a lovely evening with lovely food. Definitely worth a visit..

Sarah Ross have made this like a 2nd home for all their guests. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave the environment is welcoming, friendly and cosy. A traditional country pub with an unconventional decor. Seeing is believing. Always feel welcomed, even when by myself. The food is definitely not your ordinary pub food, and the monthly quiz is definitely taxing on the brain You have to see it to believe it. Well done to you both and your staff. Paul

How surprised were we to find this amazing pub/home. We tried phoning but no answer so we drove off the beaten track to try our luck. Being as I'm an American that has lived in the UK (London mainly) for the past 23 yrs I walked in to an eclectic pub that reminded me of home. The menu had Southern flair. The owner (didn't ask her name) was so accommodating and gave us a table and even though busy, she was so inviting an kind since we didn't reserve first. The food came quickly and was the most delicious food I've eaten without a doubt Ever. We had the ribs, jambalaya and the deserts to die for. I've seriously never had ever had anything this authentic ever in the UK. I can't wait to bring th...

We decided to have dinner at this restaurant as we were staying nearby and my husband had found it on Google. The decor was amazing and quirky, the owners and other customers were friendly, and the food was absolutely incredible! My husband ordered the tomahawk steak, which was marinated and smoked to perfection - huge, succulent, and delicious. I opted for the landlady's winter ploughman's, which included a whole Camembert, gammon, dirty wedges, and various other delicious sides. We also had two older people with us who had smaller appetites, and the restaurant happily accommodated their request for macaroni cheese and chips. The prices were very reasonable for the generous portions and hig...

With the wonderful October sunshine we met friends at the TB on Sunday for drinks. The garden was busy with families and other small groups but we easily found seats and settled in. The landlady came out to say hello and we had a lovely chat about the how they were settling in and learnt more about the menu that was on offer some pretty amazing dishes and far from typical ‘pub grub’. An eclectic interior really draws the eye and they have set up some wonderful little areas for drinks alongside the dining area. The memorabilia displayed is really great and there’s a game in itself to place the show year we guessed the Magic Roundabout lampshade but couldn’t name all the characters! Well worth...
