I couldn't put it better than this Trip Advisor review, one of the large number of very positive ones.

"Located to the rear of The Clubhouse in Sling: checked out trip advisor and were directed here. We thought we had the wrong place. A clubhouse in a residential area. A small sign directed us down a corridor and there we were. We really did not know what to expect but were so pleasantly surprised. Thai food to rival the best of London (where we are from). The owner is originally from Bangkok and Chiangmai and has pitched up here. A real character and passionate about his art. Quality."

This old school pub offers all you would expect from your local, with a range of cask conditioned ales, draught lagers, ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks. Yet The Forge Hammer also has its own microbrewery! Since 2018, they have been producing exciting India pale ales under the name of Lydbrook Valley Brewing Company.

Better still, it also has its own Indian takeaway for when you want to eat on the move, or from the comfort of your (temporary) home! 

Yet if curry isn't your thing, from April to September you can take full advantage of the resident gourmet burger truck, that resides outside in their carpark. On hand to satisfy the needs of locals and tourists alike.

With great views overlooking the River Wye, and out towards the well-preserved ruins of Goodrich Castle, the Inn on the Wye can provide a scenic location for good food.
