I'm not sure if it's always this bad. We came for a Sunday roast. Took over half an hour to get served and when we did the girl that took our order said someone else needed to help with it then just never came back..we had to go find someone in the end to take our order. The food came in under 5 minutes which I'm sure is not a good sign ! The potatoes oozed grease when you bit into them. The greens had barely been cooked. A nearly cracked a tooth on the parsnips. The stuffing never came so we had to ask for it. It was cold and rock hard when it did come. Will never come here again and would recommend no one else does if you don't want to waste your money. Shame because the pub itself is lovely.

Visited here whilst on holiday. Lovely little pub quaint and clean inside. Food pretty good but not big portions. The salad was particularly nice with a peppery sauce. The main thing that put us off was one particular staff member who looked fed up . It wasnt particularly busy inside but no reason to look like you didn't want to be there. Would go back just to try a few more dishes .

We booked a table online at very short notice last Sunday evening and were accommodated very promptly and efficiently. We arrived soon after and was directed to our table immediately. The service from this point was absolutely excellent, everything we ordered arrived promptly and as we requested. A big thank you to Jess for this as she looked after our table and was brilliant The food was excellent, cooked and presented very well indeed. We will be returning again in the future

I recently visited and had a fantastic experience! The fish and chips were exceptional—better than any chippy I've tried. Crispy, flavourful, and perfectly cooked! For dessert, the apple was a delightful finish, bursting with flavour. A special shoutout to Talina for her excellent service; she was attentive and friendly, making the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and top-notch service!

Came in the summer and loved it. Just walked out starving. Pie was all pastry with a quarter of a carrot and a tablespoon of mash. My boyfriend’s meal was tiny also. Did complain but not offered any compensation. My partner wondered if it had changed manager. Lo and behold as we drive out it says under new management. Will not be going back. Disgustingly tight portion.

Really lovely pub and helpful, friendly staff. Although food was tasty felt portions small. Husband's fish pie very small, my sweet potato skin(1 half) filled with mashed sweet potato mixture nearly £7.Most people know the price of sweet potatoes so seems a huge mark up. Saying all that food cooked well.

Around 25 of us descended for brunch yesterday after a party the night before. Although some had pre-ordered, another 6 turned up and ordered ad hoc. The team were amazing, they got the food out quickly, negotiated puppy and high chair and lots of people. The food was, as always, delicious. This pub is the best in the area, consistently great food, a warm welcome and great tolerance of our made puppy. Wonderful.

Returning from the Isle of Man on Sunday 30th June 2024, found ourselves approaching a familiar sight the Blacksmiths Arms. Had a meal few weeks before and waxed lyrical about that experience on Trust Pilot. Today we wanted to experience a Sunday dinner and neither my wife nor I were disappointed with the quality of the service, food and ambience. We were attended to by Luna, who was excellent in her explanations and service. I had the trio of roasts, my wife roast turkey. Dessert followed with Bakewell tart and custard for myself and my wife was blown away by the quality of the sticky toffee pudding and her request of custard instead of ice cream was not an issue. I finished the meal with a glass of Jura, a personal favourite and perfect complement to an enjoyable meal. Our complements are further extended to the chef, the unseen hero in this establishment.

States dogs welcome on website but they are not allowed in the pub, not even to order drinks to take outside, therefore not welcome! Also you can only eat on the grey chairs not on the grass area therefore confined to a smaller space and restricted tables. This again is not welcoming if you have had a lovely country side walk and dog in tow. Unfortunately due to too many restrictions, you’ve lost a regular customer and I’ll go the pub down the road.

3 of us chose main meals with 1 shared starter. The chicken croquette starter was delicious. 2 of us complained about our main meals and 1 chickened out from complaining. The 2 mains were taken off the final bill. The staff did not comment on the meal which was left mostly uneaten but not complained about. Sadly, we will not be returning despite the location and building which are faultless, with pleasant interiors and great garden with patio.

Popped in for lunch with my family on Friday. We were first ones in. We have eaten here several times before but this time the food and service was abysmal. Took for ever that our order was taken. We ordered 2 mixed grills, chicken combo and beef burger. Holy moly, the mixed grill was just awful, chewy and dry. Even the gammon didn't even have any colour on it. The chicken combo was awful, everything was covered in tarragon and something else extremely unpleasant. No-one asked how our food was. Took 20mins after we finished before anyone came to clear our plates. We still ordered dessert which arrived in 15mins from ordering. The dessert was better than the main but nothing special. Such a shame, we spent £120 and left very disappointed. At home now with stomach aches all round. Won't be going back there again.

Food came in good time of ordering especially considering the size of our group. Everybody food was great although the gammon was abit to salty for my liking but all depends how you like your gammon. Puddings were perfect as always. The Vanilla cheesecake was 👌 Brilliant value for money and will definitely be back again soon.

Visited for lunch after visiting Flora. The restaurant staff were really polite and friendly and the food was great. It is a shame I cannot give 5 stars but unfortunately the manager was short and curt in talking to staff over filling up the coffee machine with customers present at the bar area, as guests I do not expect or want to hear this and I feel was not professional as a manager. The staff were fantastic, the place was clean, food great but the manager unfortunately on this occasion failed. Something to hopefully take away and learn from. I wouldn't work for her as I do not feel there is enough respect.

We had lunchtime at the Blacksmiths, very pleasant service but I got the wrong meal, as I would have to wait I accepted the meat dinner even though I ordered fish, the waitress was very present so we let it go, it wasn't as nice as I would have liked, the sweet was delicious and well presented. It could have been better, we are trying to support local businesses as times are hard.

I enjoyed a delightful lunch here today complimented by a good glass of nicely chilled wine. I chose the steak and ale pie which was delicious as were the chips although the veg was slightly over done for my taste. The service was friendly and fairly prompt considering how busy they were, including our bus trip. I also indulged in a Bakewell tart with ice cream which didn't deliver the standard of the pie, sorry. I followed my meal with a pot of very good tea served in a pot which was sufficient for 2 cups. The bar was tastefully decorated for Christmas and the atmosphere was very festive. The toilets were very clean as were the premises. A very pleasant visit, thank you.

My son had kids chicken burger which he enjoyed and ate the lot . We both had cola which was nice and cold with a nice amount of Ice and a slice. Was disappointing to discover they don't take cash , I think that option should be the customers choice.

I had the fish & chips which was OK, the fish batter wasn't very crispy though. in fact, I have had nicer fish and chips at Wetherspoons tbh. Two of the party had different burgers which they enjoyed, and hubbie had the gammon. The service was OK although we did request some water for the table that didn't arrive

We visited the Blacksmiths Arms for the first time today (June 2023)…. What a lovely experience. The bar and restaurant are very comfortably furnished in old English county style with plenty of space around the tables so things arn’t too cramped. The food was very well presented and cooked which is exactly what we expect from this Chef and Brewer brand. Holly & Jordan looked after us really well from start to finish. There’s a very large car park attached to the premises which together with a nice beer garden to the rear make for a relaxing experience. We will definitely return.
