Blacksmith Arms in Horsham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A great “experience” , authentically Italian, attentive hosts , beautiful food, fabulous Prosecco . Our meal was a little slow so the only thing may have been some bread and oil to nibble while we waited, this would have made our experience 10/10 because when the food did come out every aspect of it was freshly prepared and perfectly delicious! Well done ⭐️

We get together for a meal with a couple of friends a few times a year. This place is a real gem and I am always amazed that there are tables available at short notice. The stall are attentive and on point when it comes to answering questions and so on. The food is superb I cannot recommend enough.

Nice pub/restaurant but unfortunately my pizza was cold, the vegetables on the pizza were overcooked and the last 2 slices had so much salt on them I couldn.t eat them.

nice restaurant where the food is good. However, be careful of possible scams: the boss offered us a seabass for two and served us a gray mullet (4 or 5 times cheaper at the market). At our remarks, he seemed to no longer understand our English. We have been invoiced to seabass for £65. So if you shake his hand, count your fingers carefully

One of my favourite restaurants and definitely worth the short drive from Crawley. If you have not tried this restuarant I would highly recommend it. Lovely menu to suit all tastes. Freshly made pasta, pizza, steak, fish, roast dinners, lovely starters, beautiful home made deserts! I love to try new things and 10/10 blacksmith arms has a brilliant variety each week on the specials, ranging from tomahawk steak, whole seabass, pasta dishes, pizzas, fish mixed grill. I have only recently found a love for fish and thought I would try something new... the fish mixed grill. It was delicious. So much flavour and perfectly cooked. Served with lovely Fresh Vegetables and roast potatoes cooked to perfection. Very friendly, welcoming staff who cannot do enough for you. Large variety of wines, beers, cocktails and soft drinks. Beautiful coffee too ☕️. Lovely function room that can be hired to host a whole variety of different events. Definitely worth a visit! Highly recommended for any special occasion, random dinner out, or take away. They also deliver depending on location. Also dog friendly! 💜

What an absolute find. Amazing high quality Italian quizine. Best we've had in the UK. Very friendly staff and very attentive.

Good food, friendly service although the meatballs were a little too hard in the bolognaise dish I had

Went here with my family, there was a table of 10 of us and it was great! Some of the food is average, but the pizzas are great. Will deff go back again

Every time we come here we have a lovely time. The portion sizes are great. The food is tasty. This time round 2 had pizza, 1 had seafood pasta and 1 had orchiette. All tasted amazing! The staff are superb… very attentive and really friendly! A great family run business!

As usual, the food arrived quick and was really tasty. I always find the Blacksmith Arms great value for money and the staff are always really friendly!

Came for lunch again today. Was served by Tony, who recommended the Lobster special for us both. Food came beautifully cooked and well presented, full of flavour and delicious to eat. This really is a great Italian restaurant with first class staff - both front of house and in the kitchen.

Takeaway pizza very nice. Staff very friendly. Delivery A1. Great service. Will be ordering again soon.

Really delicious authentic Italian food. Felt as if we were on holiday. Staff were all very welcoming, friendly and attentive. A great find on the scenic route back from Gatwick airport after dropping off our daughter. Highly recommend and we will definitely return.

Ate here tonight. Would recommend. The food was good and the service was fantastic. Lovely friendly staff.

Visited with my brother for lunch! Half way between us, him in Surrey and me on the south coast so a great find! Lovely warm welcome, great choice of specials! Food very tasty and plentiful, two course and didn’t need a pudding! Spacious dining room and early so chose our table!

Absolutely brilliant in every way. Great food, lovely staff, fantastic ambience and made to feel really special. A very special evening.

Fabulous food, staff and atmosphere. All 3 of our meals were excellent - authentic Italian flavours and perfect sized portions. We will definitely visit again!

Popped in after a long walk for a pizza. As always the food was amazing! We had the calamari and tricolore (mozzarella, tomato and avocado) to start and both had pizzas for main! The food arrived quick. Good sized portions and great value! The staff were amazing as always! Looking forward to our next visit!

On the way back from Goodwood Motor Circuit, we wanted to just 'drop in' for some lunch along the way. The Blacksmiths Arms looked a good bet and we were not disappointed. The venue was nice and relaxing with a warm welcome. Didn't take long to place the order and then the food was at the table promptly. And what food it was, my wife had the Fiocchi, which she loved and I had the 1010 Burger, probably the best gastro burger I have ever tasted. The Blacksmiths Arms has now turned into a 'must stop' when we visit Goodwood again, a great find and highly recommended.

We ordered Sunday lunched online to be delivered. It arrived hot and the quality of the meal was of the same standard as being in the restaurant. So thank you Blacksmith Arms outstanding x

Was attracted by the 4.5/5 rating to give the place a try. Feel like we’ve been conned!! Much of my wife’s lasagne was inedible the pasta was so hard. Not much meat and the bits that were there were very dry. Get the feeling it...

Booked on a Sunday but didn't want the roast, even though what we saw looked good. Pizza and burger very tasty neither of us could finish our plates!

We went for Sunday lunch, excellent professional service with delicious food, we highly recommend this place.

We had a very nice meal here recently. The pub is very quaint with its low ceilings and beams, looks beautiful at Christmas all decorated, would love to know it’s history. The food was all good, service all good too.

Authentic Italian pizza and pasta. Good services. It's a bit better than the high street chain. Still £££ for family lunch and couple diner. Shame about the deserts.

We were greeted by friendly handshake by the owner and the chef and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. It was inspirational with Italian taste’s including a great bowl of tasty mussels followed by homemade pasta and pizzas Well what can you say ? Can we go...

We enjoyed a meal here whilst in the area after coming across the listing on trip advisor. The food was very good, we particularly enjoyed the pear and Gorgonzola pasta. Our only slight criticism was the service was quite slow, we waited almost fifteen minutes...

Great staff very friendly, fantastic food reasonable prices, dog friendly, great atmosphere, low ceilings

6 stars fantastic food and service Lovely atmosphere, clean, varied menu with all the Italian favourites plus burgers and even Sunday roasts

We ordered a takeaway from here. On the plus side, the man I spoke to on the phone was very helpful, but that is as far as the positives go. I’m sure eating in is a different experience from the reviews I have read, but...

The food is very good and the service is excellent. It also has the huge advantage of being open for meals throughout the afternoon. Only one slight observation is that the hot food is served on cold plates.

My son and I had a lovely meal here late on Saturday 27th August. Delicious food and excellent service. Special mention for the seafood risotto, which was sublime.

Such a great experience, we had an amazing three course meal, the best steak we’ve ever had and service could not be better. We are not that local to the restaurant, but it’s well worth the trip. It feels like a rare experience these days...

Do not be discouraged by the uninspiring pub entrance. We have just enjoyed a delicious Italian meal. The home made pasta was very good, pear and gorgonzola filling, delicious. Excellent tomato sauce on the mussels. Good Italian coffee. Friendly and helpful service.

It was like being welcomed into an Italian family home, which we thoroughly appreciated. It was delightful to sit at a table with proper linen tablecloth and napery. The menu choice and daily specials gave plenty of variety. We chose the fresh lobster and pasta,...

Heerlijk eten, vriendelijke bediening, gezellige setting! Van buitenaf lijkt de locatie niet groot, maar schijn bedriegt. Grote mensen moeten zich...

We had a lovely midweek lunch commencing with glasses of Prosecco and a plate of delicious Arancinetti. I then had the Calamari fritti which tasted fresh and light with a delicate batter. My wife had Melanzane Parmigiana which she loved! I followed it with a...

Beware off hidden charges for a very average meal, no mention of a 12.5% service charge or to the adding of £2.50 for providing a gluten free base to a pizza. Outside space very tatty great for road viewing of high speed motorbikes!

Whilst heading back home from Spain, we popped into this lovely authentic old pub. My goodness the beer and steak was amazing. Reco this place for good Italian food by Italians.

A rustic gem. It can be very busy and a little bit frantic in the restaurant side. It’s a slow meal cooked and prepared freshly for you so don’t expect fast food.. but why would you. All staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, food was...

Lovely warm welcome as always and great food and service. However, the large dining room is so stark and bare. A few pot plants, interesting wall art and please please some fresh flowers on the tables. Would make all the difference

While passing by, popped in for a spot of lunch. With no booking we asked if they could 2 people in. We were greated with a warm and bubbley smile. They were able to accommodate us and placed us in a nice spot. Table was...

Visited here on one of the coldest nights of the year, but received a warm welcome. The food was very good although my wife chose the chicken with cream, which she expected to come in a 'light' sauce perhaps with wine, but actually came in...

Once again food delicious. amazing staff as always. This is why we have booked our after wedding meal in April.

My family and I came here for lunch New Years Day. The restaurant has a great vibe to it. The staff are all really really friendly and very attentive . We all had pizza which were a nice size and tasted amazing! The pizza’s here...

Wonderful food and such great warm and friendly service! Really great atmosphere on the restaurant. Also a great delivery service if you opt for something from the menu to eat at home - can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough!

There four or us having dinner. The service was prompt, the waiters were pleasant and the food was acceptable. There was nothing actually wrong with the Blacksnmiths Arms but, this is only my view, I thought that it lacked ambience and the main dining room...

Absolutely fantastic in every way. The ambiance, the attentive staff and the food wowed us. We had the chefs daily special of cod with roast potatoes and fresh veg. The fish melted in yr mouth and the sauce was simply delicious. We even tried a...

Haven’t visited in recent years, so weren’t sure if was dog friendly, Natalie emphatically advised me they were and when we brought Saxon our Golden Retriever in, the welcome was absolutely incredible and genuine - here is a place where they love dogs as much...

Had a lovely evening out here with my partner . Started with a sharing platter of cold meats , olives , breads and I went into have meatballs with pasta . Followed by wonderful tiramisu . Great friendly and efficient professional service with an excellent...

Having passed this pub many times on our way home and on the way to work decided to finally try it this evening and what a treat. Lovely welcome by smiling staff, we didn’t have a table booked and despite it being busy it wasn’t...

The staff here are really lovely, welcoming and helpful. Service was prompt too. This was our first visit and we were surprised at the value for money. The bill was half what we were expecting! The roast beef was lovely and our little boys burger...

Absolutely lovely! From the atmosphere to the food. Would highly recommend a visit for a nice meal whether it be as a couple, group of friends or a family dinner. Food was incredible and the service was so good and very friendly!

Upon arrival it looked like a thriving restaurant. It took a while to be able to tell someone about our arrival for our booking, taken to our table and left for 10 minutes before asking for drinks, 20 minutes later they took our food order,...

Had a take away from here for my birthday, and the food was fantastic and great value for money. We had a couple of starters, pastas and tiramisu for dessert, and it was all delicious. We'll definitely be eating at the restaurant in the future.

This was our first visit to the pub, and we were really impressed. The staff were friendly and attentive. The decor looked good and it is nice to have some authentic Italian food in a local pub! The pizzas were excellent along with the chicken....

Absolutely stunning restaurant and food - we had a wonderful, authentic Italian meal. One of the owners was also on hand to provide suggestions and didn’t disappoint. Would recommend the bruschetta, mini arancini balls and the seafood ravioli. Chicken and mushroom pasta and salted caramel...

We stopped here on the way to the beach, spotted a pub and popped in. Just looking for a light lunch but ended up having a fantastic family meal. Welcoming friendly staff great with the kids (6 and 8). Happy to meet any special requests....

We stumbled across the Blacksmiths arms after trying to book a table at several other pubs on Sunday evening in Wisborough Green - all had closed their kitchens early so we explored a bit further afield. So glad we did because instead of using the...

I absolutely loved my meal here, traditional Italian; tasty, good portion sizes and my desert was amazing (white chocolate profiteroles). My other half didn’t enjoy his so much hence the ‘very good’. Friendly and professional staff, welcoming, attentive. I’m biased- I loved it and would...

Stopped here on the way back from Brighton and we were pleasantly surprised that the menu was mostly Italian dishes. The restaurant manager suggested the days specials of mussels in a white sauce and sea bass. Both dishes was excellent. The sauce the mussels were...

Have been here so many times and never disappoints!!! The food is always delicious, and staff really friendly and welcoming. My kids always choose to come here when we are deciding where to eat out! As the staff are always so friendly to them also!...

We dined here a couple of years ago and had mixed feelings about it but having read such great reviews recently we thought why not give it another try....in all honesty, I wish we had not bothered! We are truly lost as in regard to...

Excellent food and service. Stopped for lunch and was delighted to find an Italian menu, which was a pleasant change from the usual boring pub offerings. Food was delicious, service was excellent too. Definitely worth a visit.

Was in the area for business and was recommended this restaurant, on entering was greeted a friendly and helpful way was shown to a table in a modern feel restaurant, the gentleman who showed me to my table explained some of the specials took my...

Popped in on our way to the coast and so glad we did. Lovely welcome and very good quality food, plus good coffee - what's not to like. Will return when in the area again.

Went for Sunday lunch with my partner and 2 kids. Excellent service and very kid friendly. We ordered 2 roasts, kids pizza and kids pasta, plus desserts and the food was lovely. The broccoli with the roast dinner could have been cooked more for me...

Incredible service Friendly and smiley staff highly recommend the bruchetta Blown away by the panciotte And the Milanese is to die for

Fantastic food and even better service. This restaurant is indeed 10/10, every dish was a winner. We will definitely be back!

I haven’t been here in years but after a friends recommendation decided to give it a try. The staff were all really friendly. The tables were all well spaced out and the food was lovely. My partner and I both had pizzas which we thoroughly...

UNREAL!!!! The pub looks like a normal typical pub but we just thought we would try it ITS UNREAL! The food is outstanding proper Italian food this place needs to do some advertising or something because it would be fully booked all the time!!!! It’s...

The most authentic Italian experience in a long time. The food and service was incredible.... the children were made to feel special and made a real effort for my daughters birthday.... it was faultless, we will certainly be returning again soon and would recommend to...

Stopped off for a pint and a pizza today! Lovely place, friendly service and great food. Love the fact it has a pub feel with an Italian twist!

We came for dinner at the weekend and were very warmly greated by the staff. The atmosphere was wonderful, super friendly. We had a tomato based seafood starter (I can't remember the name) but it was exquisite. Beautifully presented calzone and spaghetti carbonara. Nothing was...

Absolutely delicious authentic Italian food, staff are very friendly and hospitable, we had a wonderful evening and will definitely be returning. Wonderful

Had a fantastic takeaway meal cant fault food or great service keep doing what your doing 👍 would highly recommend to anyone.

The food served here is outstanding. Amazing value and amazing quality. We are foodies and know good food and the 1010 delivers.

This restaurant is just down the road from us. Which is great because it's also the best restaurant in the area 😃. Amazing food and friendly service. Last time we took my wife's parents along with us and they thoroughly enjoyed all the food -...

We've been to 10/10 many times, the food and service have always been amazing. The atmosphere is friendly and warming, after our first visit it became an instant favourite. We're lucky to have them just around the corner! The Tomahawk steak is an absolute must-try.

We bought a lovely roast dinner for 4 of us, delivered approx. 5 miles and still perfectly warm! And delivered with a smile. Thank you very much.

Lockdown delivery of amazing Italian food. Forget your dominos etc this is premium Italian cuisine! 10/10 (they don’t lie) Food was delivered fresh, hot and bang on time! Arancini and tomato and mozzarella salad were mega.

Was recommended by a friend as a top takeaway and didn't disappoint. Panciotti Capesante, Vitello Milanese and a Pizza all absolutely perfect and was ready bang on time and handed over 30 secs after arriving. Is a 15 min drive from home but definitely going...

Excellent Italian food, great atmosphere and value for money. Portion size was perfect for my hungry family! Quality of choice and ingredients were also excellent. My only downside was the service was a touch slower than previous visits but this was due to it being...

Really good Italian food, friendly and efficient service, good atmosphere. Had a lovely meal here just the two of us for an early Saturday evening meal and really enjoyed it. Only one slip up with the dessert - no raspberry sorbet with the panda cotta....

Fantastic food - real Italian fair in a cosy modern pub. Highlights are the pizzas. Doggie friendly and great selection on menu. Staff hard working and welcoming.

Excellent Risotto Frutti de mare . Been here before about a year ago ,now extended and much more room at the rear and Social distancing much appreciated. The service by Katie ( bob on the Top) was good , food specially cooked and served HOT...

Totally disappointed last night - as a family we decided to go out using the government discount and support our local restaurant we booked and turned up just before our booking and the place was busy we managed to get to sit down 15 minutes...

Prebooked group of 6 of us were well fed last night, the restaurant was busy given the government scheme but in my opinion the staff managed very well. At all times we felt very safe with the social distancing, staff wearing face masks, tables well...

The whole menu is guaranteed 100% Italian. Nice selection, including some southern Italain specialities, which is quite unusual. Worth noting that Pizzas are second to none. It is very reasonably priced overall. The owners are now offering a take-away option that is definitely matching the...

We had the most amazing Wood fire pizza tonight. Incredible Italian food in an English pub. ! Service was excellent. Food authentic Italian. Highly recommend.
