The Forge, a restaurant located within Hotel Indigo Chester, has been awarded two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. The AA Rosette award is a prestigious accolade that is given to restaurants that achieve high standards of cooking and service.

The Forge is led by Head Chef Dan Regan, who is passionate about wild, sustainable British ingredients. The restaurant’s menu features dishes such as grilled wild sea bass with samphire and mussels, and wood-fired pigeon with black pudding and blackberry jus.

The Forge’s award was announced by AA Inspector Robert Martin, who said: “We are pleased to award two AA Rosettes to The Forge. The quality of the well sourced ingredients impressed us as did the execution of the dishes. The well balanced and imaginative menu showed good technical skill from the kitchen team.”

Scott Rankin, General Manager of Hotel Indigo Chester, said: “We’re delighted to have been awarded our first 2 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence at The Forge. Being credited with this prestigious award is testament to our brilliant team who work incredibly hard in producing a first-class customer experience.”

The Forge is one of only a handful of restaurants in Chester to hold two AA Rosettes. The award is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to providing guests with an exceptional dining experience.

In addition to being awarded two AA Rosettes, Hotel Indigo Chester and The Forge have also recently won two other awards: Gold Accommodation in the Taste Cheshire Awards and a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for 2023. These awards further recognize the hotel and restaurant’s commitment to quality.
