🥂 18 years of The Forge Inn, Village Pub & Dining 🎂
18 years ago today, on 20th October 2008, we opened the doors of The Forge Inn for the very first time. I don’t think any of us could have imagined just how much this little pub would come to mean to so many people, including us.
The Forge will always hold a very special place in our hearts. It’s where our Beautiful Pubs journey began, where friendships were made, memories created and where we’ve shared some of our proudest moments, along with a few challenges along the way!
What makes us most proud, though, is the people. The wonderful guests who’ve supported us over the years, the Glenfield community who’ve embraced us, and every single person who’s been part of our team and helped make The Forge what it is today.
A special thank you to Heather and our brilliant team, who care so deeply about this pub and the people who walk through its doors.
18 years later, The Forge is still our original Beautiful Pub, and it means just as much to us today as it did when we first opened those doors. ❤️
