The Blacksmiths Arms

Service great. Lots of dogs wandering around! Lovely prosecco. Food was fine. Pub has a good atmosphere.

Parking, friendly, chilled pub, always welcomed. Typical pub to have a chat with everyone, including nice people you don't know. Great selection of drinks available

On the entrance we were greeted with a super friendly welcome when asked if children are allowed in the pub, from the lady behind the bar. The pub itself it’s a real gem, the atmosphere was great and everyone seemed like a friendly local. Ver carta

Absolutely stunning country pub. Been going here for quite a while, and only just realised I haven’t reviewed. Beautiful gardens, absolutely incredible food and lovely staff, there really isn’t anything to not love about this pub. 10/10 would recommend

Good choice of dishes on the menu. There were three of us; we had the steak, the scampi and the butterfly prawns. All were delicious. The plates were hot and the presentation was good. Dessert was lemon meringue pie with ice cream. The ice cream in particular was lovely. The lady who served us was very nice.

Lovely setting and good atmosphere but poor service. We waited 40 mins for sandwiches before requesting a refund. Bar staff said it wasn’t their fault and blamed the kitchen. I have been here on several occasions in the past and had a good experience so assume they were having a bad day or are under new management. Ver carta

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime. Food excellent. Service slow, and I had to leave the table to go to the bar to place our order; someone eventually came to take our order some five later. Tables and placemats sticky both need a good wash! Sauce bottles could do with wiping. Having said all that, it is a nice pub with good food. It is just let down somewhat by sloppy attention to hygiene.

We returned to the Blacksmiths for the first time this year, with two friends. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was cordial and efficient throughout. Steak kidney pudding, fish chips, fish pie, and ham, egg chips were our main courses, and all were very tasty. For desserts we chose between us just two traditional English puddings, apple pie and jam pudding, with custard all round. Excellent. We all agreed that we had enjoyed a really good meal.

Booked in for Easter Sunday Lunch at midday. Arrived early and pub wasn’t open so sat in the outside smoking area I was appalled to find that it was absolutely filthy .Ashtrays had been left unempted and other receptacles were overfilled with cigarette ends and empty wine bottles, The fireplace had not been cleaned out ,seats, broken and dirty ,and one even had nails sticking up through the seat.Went into lunch and found table had not been cleaned properly and was sticky to the touch. The fish and chips ordered by one person absolutely fine but the Sunday roast not very hot. The fires in the pub were not lit and had not been cleaned out. Have used this pub many times over the years and was v... Ver carta
