About Forge Coffee Culworth

Forge Coffee is an independent, award-winning specialty coffee shop on High Street in Culworth. Founded by Rupert Rowling in August 2018, the business takes its name from the site's history as a forge, which dates back to at least 1780. The building was formerly part of an agricultural engineering and blacksmithing business run by Rupert's father, Martin Rowling. Forge Coffee serves only specialty coffee, with a focus on sustainable practices, ethical goals, and community engagement. The Culworth location was the first of three Forge Coffee sites across Northamptonshire, with further outlets in Evenley and Whittlebury Park. The shop is proud of its community role and hosts a varied programme of events including monthly comedy and quiz nights, wine tasting, art open evenings, talks, and workshops. Forge Coffee was named the top countryside coffee shop by The Sunday Times in August 2023 and won the Muddy Stilettos award for Best Café in Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland in both 2023 and 2024. The team includes experienced baristas who are passionate about specialty coffee and creating an inclusive, welcoming space for locals and visitors alike.
