Used to visit years ago, now however it's a very poor experience. Couldn't believe they had no hand pull beers, to say it's a Marston's brewery pub it's shamefull! The drinks prices are ridiculous £3.10 for half a diet coke and £5.40 for a pint of Guinness. No atmosphere whatsoever, hardly any customers and we thought visiting on a Sunday we would indulge in their Sunday carvery that is advertised both online and on a board by the entrance. No carvery we were told, haven't done it for months as too much waste! Perhaps you should change your advertising. Wouldn't recommend, food was very average, pub looks really tatty and worn, can't see it being open for much longer as I can see no reason to visit. No I’m not a keyboard warrior, but thankyou for your snap judgement too, good luck with the sale!

We had the Sunday lunch but the carvery wasn’t on the veg was hard and the Yorkshire pudding was under cooked and the beef was full of fat and gristle. We won’t be going back.

The meals are very poor quality. My husband ordered a chicken kebab and the chicken wasn’t cooked. I ordered Gammon and chips which was very greasy. Both meals were sent back, The member of staff was very apologetic and offered free drinks / deserts. We received a refund for the meals. We definitely won’t be going back there , worst meals ever .

Just been with the family for dinner today Sunday 19/5/24 worst meal I’ve had in a long time , starter nice , main meal , as soon as picked up the broccoli on my fork and saw the water running from it I just knew it wasn’t a good sign , in my opinion it was frozen and not quite cooked enough it was hard not tender , the Yorkshire pudding was obviously reheated we all said the same about it , mash my son recons was packet and I wouldn’t disagree , roast were naff , they should be crispy on the outside not soft , and the beef was like cutting a leather belt , desert very nice best part of the meal . Marks out of ten 0 Gordon Ramsay would have had a field day , if I go out for a meal I expect a trained chef to cook the meal better than I can do it myself , that main meal was not even close to what I cook . it’s been a long time since I went there and it will be even longer before I return again . The member of staff did say I hope everything was ok to which I replied “actually no it wasn’t” oh I’m sorry was her reply

I really wish this place could get back to its former glory. There used to be a great atmosphere, now it seems it’s always quiet… certainly midweek. Food is “pub grub” not bad - it serves a purpose, but there are better eateries in the vicinity. If you get one of the senior staff members they are so friendly and helpful, which is lovely. I’ve driven up a couple of evenings for a drink and it’s been closed … so I don’t make the journey any more. Finally if you’re after a game of pool - be warned, the table is in need of repair. Sadly a sign of the times, pub companies not spending money on their equipment atm.

It is such a lovely amazing place to eat, but sadly, Marstons are closing this down, which is totally unacceptable, staff have worked there heart and soul into this company, they didn't even know the company was closing in down they only read this online, totally unacceptable the management and staff should have been told. Slowly, every bit of history of the area is going. it's so sad to see. What is going to be left for future generations is nothing as it's all going.

Went for Sunday lunch….never again. Ate here many times.. fish , steak etc all good But Sunday lunch… Less than good…Bad really!!! Meat ok but that’s about it!!! Veg was not cooked. Rest not very good. Don’t like gravy like water!!! Ordered extra pigs in blankets. Nearly £3… shocking!!! Should have sent them back…. Three scrappy bits of sausages maybe 1 in long and bacon well where was it…. Terrible!!! Left half our food and that’s not us!!! And at £26 well never again!!!Just go down the road to the Kayes Arm and get a decent meal

Not expecting our party of 8 at 18.30, even though we had booked the week before on line. We did have a booking reference and reply. She said its not a problem we are not busy..but not interested in when or why they hadn't seen it,there was only 4 others in and the were just about to leave. No effort was made to even to make it better. Was told to order everything at the bar, couldn't even come to take a drinks order at the table...! Cutlery just put in a pile on one table even though we was told to sit at 2 tables next to each other. Food order was the same. 4 starters placed on one table. Mains with a little more effort to give them to right people. Main plates collected (19.50) and nothing said about kitchen about to close ..! We made our choice of desserts and went to the bar.. and was told the chef has gone home(20.00) but "I can do them..." but it just seemed to be to much effort... and she needed to make the point it was to much effort...!! !Desserts arrived(7).. again with even less effort, all placed on one table.. Food good but No hospitality shocking .. probably will not go back. We only live 5 mins away...!

Due to the fact you are misleading customers on your website and using images of the other blacksmiths arms (which is where I thought I’d booked for) you’d do better removing them rather than false advertising

This is the first time I’ve ever felt the need to leave a review anywhere! The food was that bad.. I had the carvery and the turkey had a weird smell and taste and was not edible! I never complained but asked if I could get my daughters ice lolly so we could get out of there but the girl I asked just kept coming out with different orders and looking right at me. I mean how long does it take to take a ice lolly out of a packet! Anyway First and last time going there 🤢

Me and my family came here expecting a nice lunch and a bit of play time for the children at the playground here. We ordered food, and then the children went out to play. My son (5 yrs) came to me and complained the playground was full of food and packaging and said, "It was drity." I went to check this out and saw 3 other children that eventually figured out that they belonged to some staff member, who abused the playground eating away opcorn and sandwiches and left uneaten food and packets all over the slide and floor. Random items of clothing scattered about, absolute disgraceful atmosphere and unhygienic. I confronted a staff member to make her aware of the issue, and to be fair she resolved this quite quickly. The other unfortunate and in issue was the food that came. Although it came timely we could tell it was rushed and no care was given. To my dismay and disappointment I had plastic wrapping in my burger (I presume from the cheese slice) and my daughters fresh veg sticks were looking out of date. We complained about this with no apology, the staff member just replied "oh, I'll let the chef know". Won't be going back here at all. The staff fmember who served us looked like she didn't want to be there, unwelcoming and poor. Really sorry, but honest review.

we all were using our vouchers ,it was the last date to use them, there were 8 of us in total,but on ordering our meals, the person at the till informed the first of our party that we could only use one voucher per table,on hearing this,we all complained,and said this was not on the vouchers,we were all devastated,but eventually the till operative,gave in ,and we were all able to use our 30% vouchers.We all thought that the drinks we had, were very expensive,in comparison to other venues we use.The meals themselves was not all that great,myself had Hunters Chicken Breast,this was quite dry,and not too tasty,others in our party all said similar,about there meal,In fairness we all agreed,that this will be the last time we will visit this venue.

This establishment is a genuine public house, not many of those about these days, exemplifying the standards to which others should aspire. The culinary offerings are of the highest calibre, and the selection of ales and lagers is both extensive and impressive.
