Meal for Two with Starters and Mains from the A La Carte Menu for £17 at The Drop Forge (Worth up to £42)

Talented but weak-spirited ironmongers are often confused that their tools will not suffice when told to test their mettle. Forge more enduring bonds with today's Groupon: for £17 enjoy a two course meal for two with a starter and a main course each at the beautifully renovated The Drop Forge.

Previously the site of a metal-forging factory, the innovative restaurateurs have retained most of its industrial character, including a display area housing the original machinery, to ensure a truly individual dining experience. The iron beams and stairways, authentic brickwork, atmospheric air vents, and lighting fuse effortlessly with the rustic furnishings to capitalise upon the abundance of space and light, fusing engineering might with homely class and style. With only quality ingredients used, such as maize-fed, free-range chicken, beef dry-aged for 28 days, and locally sourced vegetables wherever possible, the fare on offer is yet another irresistible stimulus for the senses.

Groupon holders can enjoy a meal for two, with up to £6.50 credit each to spend on starters, which include delectable dishes such as crab and leek gratin with fresh bread (£6.00) and ham hock, shallot and potato salad with mustard dressing (£6.50). Choose from a wide range of delicious main meals with £14.50 credit to spend on one meal each from a selection including smoked salmon and prawn fishcake with creamed leeks and poached egg (£11); 12 hour braised pork with sautéed cabbage and black pudding, celeriac mash and rosemary sauce (£14.50); as well as various items from the grill, such as the maize fed chicken breast (£13.50), or even the Sunday roast (£10) for a traditional Sunday lunch.
