  Tasty and cheap!!!  Ah them words ring like bells.  Took a wee trip to The Forge which I haven't been to in aaaages. My friend's the manager in Claire's Accessories so wanted to swing by and drop off her Christmas prezzie. Also my man was desperate to try out his new Cineworld Unlimited card.  I keep forgetting there's a Cineworld in the magical east end.  Sorry still feeling Christmassy!
  
  Anyhoo, we were absolutely hank marvin and decided to check out the 'you are here' map and see what choices we had. To be honest The Forge doesn't really have a food court more of a coffee shop and a Greggs but behold when our eyes met Bensons Pantry, we let out a little yelp of happiness.
  
  It was very busy but we manged to get a booth to ourselves. The menu had a fantastic variety and great prices. I was so confoodled at what to have, I wanted a bit of everything. We eventually settled on sausage suppers, I know we could have had anything but the chips smelled goooood. It was the most delicious sausage supper I've had in a while. I normally can't finish but I scoffed the lot. Yum!
  
  If we had time I might have tried a wee dessert but alas we wanted a nosey round the sales and then off to see our film.  I'd definitely go back, it's a shame I'm not out that way often but maybe then the Pantry goodness may tempt me back sooner.

  Not much to say about this place, Its like a snack van with tables, Cheap prices yes but you get what you pay for. food was cold and tasteless. Better of going to the chip shop at the end of my road.
  Cheap and tasteless is the words i would use for Bensons at the forge
