Blacksmiths Arms in York

3rd time now staff have been rude paid 7 25 for aprol spritz was warm and flat served with lemon I said its nent to b served cold with segments of orange I was told suck it up and see well really I see why the pub is so quiet

We have been staying in the area for a few days and just discovered this bar and restaurant, which is literally just around the corner. We parked at the back. We had no reservation and were surprised to see how busy it was! They advised us it would be 30 minutes wait- no problem. Nice selection of beers on tap and a good kids menu also. The menu nearly had too much choice. The food is all homemade, delicious and decent portions. My daughter had a proper ham sandwich- none of your plastic stuff! Staff were helpful. Very reasonable compared to the fast food outlets nearby. Would definitely come back if in the area again. Really nice atmosphere here too. Highly recommend.

Sunday roast is absolutely delicious, visited 28/07/24, dog friendly , sat in bar , staff very friendly , great menu choice even had smaller plates, both had roast beef , it arrived on heated plates, 2 chunky slices tender delicious beef , roast potatoes , stuffing , Yorkshire pudding and gravy , then a seperate dish with potatoes with skins on, carrots , green beans , Brussels sprouts , cauliflower cheese, and a seperate jug of gravy , I was in heaven , food was piping hot , beef perfect and so was everything else, compliments to the chef, enjoyed everything , liked it so much going for dinner tonight.

Excellent sunday dinner, beef and pork with all the trimmings. First class service as usual and a good pint. Very good value for money

We popped in for a drink as staying nearby, we we're extremely shocked at the drink prices, £6.90 for a bottle of Rekorderlig, £4.95 in our local, we wouldn't mind but didn't think the pub was up to much, needless to say we only had the one and didn't return!

The food is excellent and very reasonabley priced. We have elderly family, who live near by, so we always go there, with a friend, when we are visiting. Being popular, it is always best to book in advance.

My wife and I went on a Saturday, I had the steak pie & my wife had the lasagne. It's the best steak pie pub meal I've ever had and my wife said she couldn't remember a better lasagne in a pub. We were so impressed with the quality of the food that I booked a table for the following day for the Sunday lunch. We had the roast dinner. Wow! It was perfect.

Went on friends' recommendation for light lunch but ended up having roast dinner from the 'pensioners' menu. All four of us had the excellent beef and two pudding with custard. We can only assume this is a loss leader as I don't know how they make a profit at this price. Must go again before they realise. Well stocked bar with well kept beers, friendly efficient staff; such a pleasant change in these strange times.

As usual , really nice food, good price and fantastic service. Great pint of Timmy Taylors..wife had pie...full of quality beef and i had best scampi ive had in a while..Well worth a visit.

We visited for Valentines Evening and ordered in advance from their special menu. We had Poached egg on pancetta and black pudding for starter and it was beautifully presented followed by Cod loin on a spinach bed also well presented. Both meals were excellent and restaurant standard presentation. Very friendly helpful staff as usual and very well done chef. Would be happy to return again next Valentines. Hope the special menu is still available then.

Expensive for the quality of food, very basic and not what you’d expect for the price paid. Dining room set out poorly so the party of around 16 had to sit on different tables.

Visited with family. Amazing amount of choice on the main menu, but to be honest, the pensioners menu was a little disappointing. The bar staff were very pleasant, and our drinks were served promptly. We all opted for Steak Pie, chips and peas. When the food arrived, the portions were very generous. Everything was delicious, and the steak was lovely and tender, with lots of beefy gravy. Too full to look at the dessert menu! Everywhere was very clean.

Got a beef baguette, was OK, beef was a bit on the dry side. Walked in wasn't greeted for about 5 minutes by anyone. When we finally did we asked for food and the waitress was rude and said they'll have to wait. When our food came I asked for a jug of water and the waitress rolled her eyes, sighed and never brought one out. Would have been happy if the staff weren't so incompetent and rude. WONT BE GOING AGAIN!!

Important: (other establishments take note) HOT FOOD ON H O T PLATES. Table cloths on the tables combined with pleasant service. Booking recommended particularly for Sunday lunch. Staff welcoming and courteous. Good selection of reasonably priced fodder for all tastes This is high on our list of “Returns”

Had a long wait which in not complaining about because we were warned when we booked but after the long wait my roast potatoes were burnt. Sausages were overcooked too but edible, but the potatoes weren't. I didn't raise it at the restaurant at the time because food had taken so long to come that we had to get going and, honestly, it wasn't like a dish going cold or something that could have been a honest mistake. Someone looked at those obviously burnt potatoes and said "yes, these are fine to put in front of a customer". We sat outside and the beer garden was nice, lots of lovely flowers. Staff were polite. Our dog was welcome. Pity about the food.

Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Staff friendly and efficient……the young man behind the bar (Leon) was particularly lovely 😊

We visited the Blacksmiths Arms on Saturday evening. A beautiful village pub with terrific food. Plenty of choice, my Mother is a nightmare!! Usually only finds a couple of things but had plenty to choose from the menu. Only just managed to eat a main and dessert, which was a must have. The staff were very friendly and a great evening was had by all. Thank you. 🤓

Ordered a sharing platter and everything just seemed like it was shop bought frozen food that has been put in the oven. May as well have done that at home. No taste and mushy. Staff were really nice and friendly but they seemed over run.

Visited twice over the weekend, once for a couple of drinks and then again for evening meal. Staff were friendly. Drinks reasonably priced. Food was fabulous! And really good portion sizes too. I’m a total food snob but the steak was beautifully cooked and the sides complimented the meat perfectly. As for the squid starter, I could have eaten it all night it was delicious. Will definitely re-visit if we’re in the area again.

18 of us went for Christmas night, some of us had the Christmas menu others off the regular menu. Aww pre booked the food and it all came out together & hot! When with a large party I expect less but this place was great - the service, the food, the staff. It’s a hidden gem in York & reasonably priced food & drinks. I’ll definately be back!

Llevé a mi papá a una parrillada mixta recomendada a las 6 30 para que me digan que solo tenía suficiente para una persona, por lo que aparentemente no tenían bistec o gammon o chuletas en el edificio, pero, curiosamente, podría haber pedido un bistec gammon o has adivinado que corta la comida por separado, esto se hizo evidente cuando la comida llegó porque era una obscenidad congelada preparada y empacada apenas pasable como carne, al menos el huevo era real, mi padre tuvo una brillante impresión de que alguien disfrutaba de su comida entre sacar trozos de grasa y trozos de goma no masticables de mi boca, mi pudín de Yorkshire GIGANTE habría sido gigante para un elfo de 3 años, una tía dura crujiente congelada Bessie con 5 papas asadas Bessie congeladas y algunas cosas reconstituidas delgadas de color marrón que supuestamente eran carne de res, al menos los 3 millones de guisantes de jardín estaban bien, 19 libras por la parrillada mixta 14 por otro lado, sinceramente, no te dejarán engañar por segunda vez, la cerveza era encantadora y el personal realmente agradable, así que no todo está mal

Después de leer algunas buenas críticas, nos presentamos para una cena asada los domingos. Tuvimos la opción de varias carnes y una opción vegetariana. Tuve el cordero mientras mi esposa eligió el asado de nueces. No tuvimos que esperar mucho para que llegara la comida. Mi cordero estaba en rodajas finas, sospecho que era un hervor en el producto de la bolsa. Las papas asadas eran sospechosamente parecidas a tías Bessies y claramente no estaban asadas, sino probablemente fritas. La verdura estaba muy caliente, como era de esperar directamente del microondas. El pudin de Yorkshire probablemente también fue preparado por tía Bessie. Básicamente, nada en el plato estaba realmente asado, por lo que llamarlo asado del domingo es una broma. Si bien la comida era comestible, no valía la pena 15. 50No era mucho mejor que una comida preparada.Evitaría a toda costa si lo que quieres es un asado de domingo adecuado.

Nos habían dicho que este pub tenía buena comida era amigable para perros y niños y tenía dos jardines de cerveza.Fue genial llegar allí y descubrir que esto era 100% cierto. Incluso tienen un bar para perros. (No hay bolsas de caca)La comida era encantadora entre 6 de nosotros tuvimos una amplia variedad de comida. Todo salió bien y sabía muy bien. Felicite al chef y al amable y servicial muchacho detrás del bar.

Ha sido el último par de años y lo disfruté, pero esta vez la calidad y la cantidad fueron terribles. Vaya a otro lugar que no cobre tanto por un trozo de pastel, unas papas fritas y miles de millones de guisantes para ayudar a llenar el plato. . . comida de pub vergonzosa

Nice people and a good menu. A bit crowded but overall comfortable. Nice variety and good service. Very good overall.

Called in on the off chance for lunch. Fortunately managed to get a table. Old fashioned pub with beer garden. Friendly staff and fantastic food. The Pensioners deal was unbelievable 2 courses and tea/coffee for just £8:95. The Lasagne's (beef and/or vegetarian) were one of the best I have had. Portions were generous and the food was delicious. Would definitely call here again when in area.

Almuerzo entre semana, almuerzo de domingo, cada experiencia ha sido excelente.Reservamos el martes después del almuerzo para el domingo siguiente.A nuestra llegada nos recibió el personal del bar, que recordaba nuestras preferencias de bebidas de antes. Esto fue seguido por un excelente almuerzo en platos CALIENTES acompañado por un servicio atento.Mucho para recomendar este lugar. ¡Gracias herreros!

Fuimos para el almuerzo del domingo por una recomendación. Ambiente agradable y personal amable. En general, la comida valió la pena el viaje. Si estaba siendo delicado, los brotes parecían brotes congelados y los pudines de yorkshire no se habían elevado bien. La carne y las patatas asadas eran excelentes y la selección de verduras era buena. Yo regresaria

10 of us had a marvellous family Christmas Day dinner. Great value fabulous traditional Christmas fayre. Tasty gravy lovely crispy Yorkshire puddings great fresh vegetables and absolutely delicious. Even the crackers were excellent

Reservamos para la cena de Navidad como en cualquier otro lugar estaba lleno. El pub estaba muy ocupado a su llegada, como era de esperar en un día de Navidad.

Visitamos aquí hoy con familiares en York. La comida era buena con todos nosotros teniendo un asado pero las verduras vinieron por separado y eran escasas. Así que pedimos más y vinieron con el comentario de que tendríamos que pagar extra. Justo lo suficiente, pero al comentar que las porciones deberían ser más grandes, la camarera fue extremadamente grosera. . . No iré allí de nuevo

Spur of the moment decision. Wow great choice. Service was excellent even though they were busy. The food was amazing. Crumbed mushrooms starters. 3 mains fish and chips, lamb shank, and ribs all excellent meals. Massive portions. We will be back.

Called in with a friend at lunchtime. It was very quiet with only a table of four in. We knew what we wanted so ordered at the bar when we got our drinks. We ordered two baguettes, one beef, one tuna melt.we were told it would be half an hour as there were four people in front of us. We waited an hour and five minutes for our baguettes with no other customers coming in for food. The sarnies were fine but that’s all they were, not difficult to prepare . We couldn’t believe how long it took, the place was almost empty. Good job it wasn’t a busy evening service!

Would recommend anyone needing catering for any occasion.Had a buffet for funeral refreshments here today (silver buffet). Everyone commented on the quality,amount & variety of hot & cold food.Great variety of well filled sandwiches,mini quiches,sausage rolls,pork pies,salad,crisps & sweets also tea & coffee.All the staff were helpful & served the food just when we wanted & made us doggy bags as there was plenty of food left.Thank you all so much

I have eaten at the blacksmiths arms a few times recently. The food is great(especially the hunters chicken). The staff are friendly and will take the time to make your visit a good one. They offer a variety of ales and lagers so theres always something for everyone.

I use the Blacksmiths Arms regularly with various friends and have done so for years, the food has always been good and at a reasonable price, and the Staff have always been attentive, but that was until this week. On Monday 27 July (Bank Holiday) I was having lunch with a friend and she ordered Lasagne, on arrival the Lasagne was extremely sloppy and it would have been virtually impossible to eat with a Fork, you would have had a better chance with a Straw, plus it was not very appetising, there was only the two of us in the restaurant so it wasn't as though the Cook (terminology used very lightly) was rushed off their feet, my friend didn't want to make a fuss she just sent it back and chose a replacement meal. I returned today Friday 31/08/2018 to the restaurant with another friend for lunch and I just casually asked if there had been different staff on duty on the Monday, she asked me why and I told her about the Lasagne, she replied quite frostily, she had been in the kitchen on Monday and there was nothing wrong with the Lasagne as she had checked it herself (obviously she had no idea how Lasagne should be cooked) her demeanour was Very Rude and she was Argumentative in front of other customers, so much so that my friend who was with me asked if we should go somewhere else, and had we not been pushed for time we would have done so. She returned to the kitchen with our order and must have mentioned my conversation to a person in the kitchen, to which a guy said loudly enough so that the statement could be clearly heard in the restaurant. 'There was nothing wrong with the Lasagne', there was by this time quite a few customers in the restaurant so it was uncomfortable for me and my friend, after all I had asked the waitress my question very politely and quietly I had booked to go again with 3 friends but I have telephoned and cancelled just like any polite person would, I wont be going back again. we have booked to go to another restaurant where they value customers without argument.

Quote from Their Website >>>> "We have a popular food menu serving food all day every day. On Sundays a traditional Sunday lunch can be served in the lounge, bar or beer garden """" WRONG !!!! selected times of day only. When queried Staff where rude and disinterested. ... On leaving a family in the beer garden said to us in passing ""You dodged a bullet here the food is rubbish ? " Lady behind the bar suggested we should have booked presumably to have been told they only serve at certain times , (this was late saturday afternoon) Much better places to eat ..

Cannot fault the Blackies excellent service matched by the food.Everything is freshly cooked to order but the wait is well worth it.This has now become a regular visit

My partner had a steak and kidney pie which was in fairness very good. A good portion. I had a fish and chips and this was OK but by no means great. The pub itself, like so many, is trying hard but the surroundings were a bit shabby and needing a refit.

If you don't like succulent roasts then you should not visit here because the food is devine. We have called at both lunchtime and evening and always been pleased with the food and service. They have always been welcomig and helpful.

Visiting family nearby. They booked the pub for Sunday lunch. Excellent pub grub with good dessert choice. Good sized wholesome portions washed down with some good local real ales. Very pleasant staff - good service. Couldn’t fault it.

Been many times now and always had great food and friendly service. Recommend booking especially for Sunday carvary! Well worth a visit.

Tonight we had a meal booked for 8.15 pm at the Blacksmiths Arms pub - order not taken until 9 pm and then a 40 minute wait for the meal which made a very late dining experience- however on a positive - friendly - but seemingly overworked staff - strived to do their best- meal was ok and the price was reasonable but would not rush to return due to the long wait - we had booked in advance so we were an expected party -

Whilst staying nearby called for a pint & lunch. It was a lovely day so sat outside , we had dogs also. Staff friendly & brought s dish of water & biscuits for dogs. We had scampi & beef sandwich, both were good size meals for a lunch time meal. Reasonably priced. Has a decent car park too.

Food was good( apart from pudding) but service was very poor. And they didn’t seem to busy as we were the only ones in the dining area.

We were looking for an alternative for a pub lunch in the Huntington Monks Cross area and this is definitely a good option. Nothing flash, just a proper pub with well kept beer and well cooked reasonably priced food.

Un encantador Pub Village, con un personal muy amable y servicial. Mi hermana y yo compartimos un entrante de pieles de patata con queso y beicon seguido de un filete de cadera. La carne estaba deliciosa y cocinamos, ya que cada uno me gustó. También compartimos una botella a un precio muy razonable de buen Shiraz. Este es un encantador casco antiguo pub de estilo de moda con un ambiente encantador, cervezas (así que mi marido me dice) y vinos. Muy buena relación calidad-precio.

Visited this pub with my husband on 2nd November. Very good meal . Beautifully good and presented . The food was very hot. Beef very tender and vegetables cooked perfection. Genial landlord and waitress. Will definitely return and highly recommend. Well deserving 5 stars .

We both ordered fillet steak and was not disappointed . Probably the best cooked and tasting steak we have eaten. washed down with the most satisfying pint of Timothy Taylor's ale. could not fault the whole experience would highly recommend a visit

He sido un regular durante años. Pedir, esperamos 40 minutos y luego servidor camarera/bar se acercó preguntando si habíamos pedido comida! La orden se había perdido entre las otras camareras y la cocina. No disculpa de nueva camarera. Preguntó cuánto tiempo sería como tengo que comer cada 4 horas. Nos dijeron que sería 15 minutos, aliviado cuando la comida al final. La comida era buena, como de costumbre, pero los camareros y casera deja mucho que desear. Parecía contrariado encargada quería hablar con ella y acordaron un 10% de descuento. Cuando me dieron la factura sólo había 10% de descuento en la comida. Servicio de clientes es del 0%. No dejar una propina, lo que significa el chef que la comida salga perdiendo. La pareja de al lado encontramos un extra en su cuenta. bebida Desde un desastre total una vez encantador pub. Muy decepcionado al cliente.

Went with several family members for lunch...vast choice + specials on the menu..I had the salmon with prawn sauce which...

Comer allí cada par de meses. Personal amable y una buena selección de comida y precios muy razonables.

Popped in for years, friendly establishment with decent food. Asked for a bowl of chips for an 18 month old...

Un muy buen amigo y me encuentro aquí cada 3 semanas para almorzar en este tradicional de antigüedad. La comida es muy buena, abundante y cumple nuestros requisitos totalmente. Solemos ir para sándwiches o "elts 'que vienen con patatas fritas y una guarnición de ensalada....

Visitamos el jueves 20 herreros de Julio, no es necesario reservar y mostraron a una mesa sin tener que esperar, aunque el restaurante estaba más lleno que cuando nos han visitado antes de rápido y atento servicio nos dieron. El sobresaliente que pedí era excelente,...

Called in this place after passing a few times. Wish we had kept driving. We arrived at 12.00 prompt and the only other people in were a party who had reserved a table but only half the party had arrived. We ordered our food at 12.10 and waited until 12.55 for the food, the pub soon filled up but we were the first people to order but a 45 min wait is unacceptable when the pub isn't really busy. We ordered steak and Guinness pie and fish and chips. No one came over to ask if food was ok. Even when we paid the bill waiter didn't even ask then if everything was ok. If ur driving past .....keep driving,The food isn't worth it. Just average.

Love coming here. Often drink here and staff is always attentive and quick to serve. I come here for a Sunday roast once in a while with my brother and service is always excellent as is the food. Can not fault it whatsoever. Landlord is such a nice guy and always makes sure we are happy with everything.

visited here whilst looking for a decent lunch spot near to the Monks Cross shopping centre and were very pleased we did. Close enough to the centre but far enough away to avoid the crowds, this is a typical village pub with great service and good ale plus a decent menu. As we were due to eat a large meal later that day, we opted for sandwiches which arrived with salad, slaw and chips. The portions were generous and obviously freshly prepared. Overall, a great fine which we will use again. Recommended.

We attended with local regulars and wee treated exceptionally well. Variety of drinks and brews was excellent. Our meal was promptly served and portions wee substantial. Desserts were good. Friendly conversation with neighbors made it a great evening.

We visited Friday 5th May restaurant and Pub quite busy but we were seated very quickly.Both had starters which were lovely. Highlight of the meal was the special chicken which was excellent.Would definitely visit again.

We eat in this great Pub all the time. The staff are lovely and friendly, service is great and the food is the best quality. We have never had a bad meal there and have taken friends & family there as we are guaranteed a lovely meal. All good every time. Thank you Don and Staff.

Visited on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant itself was very empty. Sadly people on the other table liked the sound of their own voices which was a little annoying. Service was initially good but we waited a long time before being asked for our food order. Requested beer was off and later they ran out of Port...we only wanted 2 small glasses of it!! Menu was interesting and starters were all excellent, best bit of the meal. Mains were ok but my sirloin steak was very overcooked. Chips undercooked. Over all we enjoyed our evening, would probably go back.

Didn't eat but we all met up here before my cousins wedding ceremony in the church nearby. It was a really pretty pub!

We booked Mothers day Lunch at this pub as it is our local. The food was hot and acceptable although the roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were obviously previously frozen. The service was ok, although as mentioned before even though this is our local we will not be rushing back.

We went for Dinner at "The Blacksmiths Arms" on Wednesday 8th February, we were visiting York for a three night stay, and decided to try this venue! We were not disappointed with good service, well cooked and seasoned food, we chose the Thai Green Curry, and the Lasagne both dishes were good and quite large portions. We also liked their offer of having a large spirit for just an extra £1 costs, so we both had two large Bacardi and cokes with Dinner all for just £34.50!! Brilliant Value!! Would recommend and most definitely return when in this part of the Country!!

Great Sunday lunch and good value for money. Friendly service. Highly recommended. Beef roast was delicious and great sponge puddings

Friendly managers, and good food service, but not all the staff are always polite. Plenty of space, rarely too busy.

Authentic traditional Yorkshire pub. Home cooked fresh food with a good selection of ale. We arrived at 1:30 and there was no- one at the bar. Eventually someone arrived to serve us and seat us to a table in the restaurant area. We hadn't booked and didn't struggle to get a table. We ordered a selection of dishes; lasagne, BLT, chilli con carne and grilled chicken. We waited a while for the food but when it arrived it was delicious; fresh, good quality and full of flavour. Service was good but not overly attentive.

Was recommended to go here for food by the B&B owner where we are staying, was very unfriendly did not feel welcome at all, they reluctantly gave us a table. The food was good we had fish and chips however no one came to check we were ok or needed anything else wouldn't recommend

Called here for lunch with the grandkids, and wasn't disappointed! I believe it is the only pub in the village and it's popularity on this occasion appears well-founded - it was buzzing! The menu was wide and varied and the food very tasty - and good value. The staff are friendly but the service was a bit on the slow side due, I expect, to the fact that the restaurant was full.

Visited with family for a quiet Sunday lunch, we were promptly served and the meal was lovely, good portion size too! Would definitely recommend! Lovely and cosy but not overlooked!

Went here for Sunday lunch. Given the prices charged I would have expected more freshly cooked on the premises.

Very polite and helpful staff all the way from the bar to the kitchen Food is very very good starters. Main course. And not least desert Good parking at the rear of the pub as well

Excellent place to eat, varied menu, great atmosphere food great and piping hot because it is cooked to order. Visited twice.

17 people went to my nieces 21st birthday night, although we had to pre order a couple of days before, which wasn't a problem due to the large party number, all I can say is what fantastic service we had, all meals came out together, compliments to the chef, fabulous food , well delivered so quickly, everyone was very impressed. So thanks again to the staff, 5 star service and a top night.

Brilliant service, really fast. The food was fresh and piping hot. We ordered one of each of the 4 meats on offer (there were 4 of us) and each was lovely and tender.Puddings were also really good. Thank you!

Came here after the disappointing visit to a local carvery. Good fresh food and a nice pint of Timothy Taylor. Recommended.

Good selection of food served piping hot, friendly staff. Easy parking at rear. Every village should have a pub like this.

Staying at the Mercure hotel nearby but needed a decent and much cheaper pint- only 8 minutes max lovely Yorkshire traditional pub Samuel Smith £1.90 other bears lagers a lot cheaper £1.40 highly recommended

Visited with my wife for sunday lunch. Advise you pre book as the restaurant was very very busy. Choice of Pork Lamb, Turkey or Beef. Recommend the beef is was so succulent. Sadly only two small roast potatoes and I think they were Aunt Bessies as was the yorkshire pudding I think, certainly not fresh. Good amount of veg sprouts, cauliflower, green beans and carrots. The gravy also was most tasy. We had desert of jam sponge with custard and a strawberry cheese cake with bland ice cream and squidgy cream also tasteless.Both desserts look to be bought in, the cheesecake reminded me of and Iceland brand The service was excellent by cheerful staff. For the price it was a decent meal but sadly not the best sunday lunch we've had. Would come again but not in a rush

Lovely pub good staff local people very frendly had to book a table it gets very busy,a good menu to choose from kids meals on menue id!nt have to wait long for meals surprised with the amount of food on the plate good value for money, its my local when i come up to york. pitty we don!t get all this down south be back soon.

A wonderful jewel in the heart of Huntington and traditional welcoming village pub. Serving marvellous and very reasonable price food, featuring both the traditional and the modern very well kept beers, very welcoming friendly and helpful staff! Credit to everyone LOVE THIS PLACE recommend highly to local residents and anyone passing by. And the landlord ISN'T a muppet he's Canadian

A warm and friendly welcome from Don and Anna. The food is excellent and well cooked and you won't go hungry!Good Real Ales but they need to change the selection more often.

We've eaten here several times now and it is always open whenever we visit. It was a Saturday when we visited this time and it was busy, no room in the restaurant but you're welcome to eat in the bar if you want we were told.Everything was good and the service reasonably quick considering how busy they were.Definitely recommended.

Had lunch here with a friend as we wanted something light. Ordered tuna and cheese baguette melt and although it took a while to arrive it was absolutely delicious when it did. Even though it was early and midweek the place was very busy especially with the older generation as we noticed on the menu they did a pensioners special which included a roast, dessert and a coffee for £7.50. Lots of people seemed to be taking advantage of this offer!Will definitely return and try a hot meal sometime soon.

Visited here for the first time for lunch with son and granddaughter. The menu is typical pub fair at reasonable prices. Much nicer than chain "pubs/restaurants". Food was brought to our table in a very reasonable time, although the place wasn't what I'd call busy. Service was excellent by the young lady who served us at the bar and then brought our meals to our table, she had excellent rapport with my granddaughter and made us feel very welcome.Overall a nice lunch.

As a family we visit the Blacksmiths Arms very regularly and have never been disappointed especially with the Sunday lunch. Always very good and the meat, whichever is chosen, is always first class.

The table we were assigned in the restaurant area was very close to the bar with men standing at the bar, talking loudly the whole time and people having to push past between them and us. Our order was taken and we were told that it would be about a 30 -40 minute wait. It was actually an hour. Others who came in after us were getting anxious for their food long before an hour. Do they need to employ more people in the kitchen. When the food eventually arrived, it was good and hot, but we will not rush back.

The younger bar staff are friendly and people tell me that the food is good.The place has a slightly grubby, down at heel feel to it though.Major problem is the beer. A nice range of real ale, but all served far too cold.If I wanted a cold drink, I would go for lager.The beers aren't cheap, so I expect a decent pint for my cash.I won't be going back.

Beer served far too cold which spoilt an excellent range of beers when I visited Blacksmiths Arms Tue 15th March. Ambience good so such a pity about temperature of beers. Suggest landlord consult CAMRA guidelines re serving beer.

Brilliant until the muppet landlord is left on his own. Waste of space and an insult to muppets. The girls are excellent bar staff though.

I live locally and have eaten here on number of occasions. Food is generally good and would recommend. Visited today but only beer was on the agenda. Not at all impressed despite what was a great beer selection - Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Sharps Doombar etc. In fact the taste quality of these beers was very very disappointing! All beers were over chilled, and as a result almost tasteless. Low serving temperature are okay for lagers but hand pulled beers absolutely not. This fact seems to be lost on the owner who simply states, ''you can't please everyone''. Well I wasn't pleased! As a result I will take my trade elsewhere. The owner needs to be aware that beers should be served at between 10-13C to optimise taste, not the 5-8C which was on offer today.

Wonderful place, lovely food, nice laid back atmosphere, music in the background, would highly recommend this for a night out

When I moved to Huntington I was only a foreign Au Pair and I didn't know anything about English food and flavors. At the Blacksmiths Arm I tried nearly all the menu and I can tell that there is no meal that I do not like. I love their Sunday Lunch and for me it is the best I had in the last 3 years in York. The staff il amazing, lovely and friendly. The service is good. The pub looks to me exactly what I would expect from an English Pub. Don, the owner, became a friend during these years and all the lovely girls that work in there are absolutely amazing. I would suggest this Pub to anyone who wanna experience a night in a familiar pub rather than in a franchising environment.

all four of us had a sirloin steak came with homemade chips grilled tomato ,mushrooms,large onion rings and garden peas also lovely sauce

lovely good food and friendly service and HUGE portions ,I mean HUGE.the quality was fab .many thanks

called into the blacksmiths on Saturday for lunch and was not disappointed. The menu is varied for a small pub. The food arrived hot and there was plenty of it the price is quite reasonable. Three meals costing £27.00 there is also a good selection of drinks including real ales.

We visited just after 8pm this evening for a celebratory dinner. We were seated quickly and our drinks order taken. There were at least eight specials on the board in the restaurant, plus the a la carte menu. My two friends opted for steak; one rump, one sirloin with salad, slaw, onion rings and chips, I had the bangers and mash (a whole Cumberland sausage ring) which came with enough fresh vegetables for two people! The portions were huge. This isn't a place you leave feeling hungry! Incredibly my pals ordered dessert.. One steamed jam pudding with custard and one steamed syrup sponge pudding with custard. When they arrived they were so big four people could have shared them. The prices too were surprisingly reasonable. I've eaten mediocre meals that were twice the price. It's just gone midnight and I'm writing this review because I'm so full I can't sleep...I can't recommend it highly enough. Try it, you'll like it,

Nipped in for a quick home made lasagna. Good value good food good price and good beer. Wife took the steak pie and can recommend it.

I was at the blacksmiths arms for a fathers day evening meal with the wife and kids. The Sunday roast was fantastic and it's one of the few places that sells a good pint of Timothy taylors landlord. The only downside to it, was some of the customers present creating a bad atmosphere. One of the tables present, coincidentally it was David L. from the previous review. It seems his table was nearly an hour late for their booking, the pub filled up while I was there and I have never seen such a rude, pretensious person giving the staff so much grief, complaining about waiting too long for their food taking too long to arrive to their table when I've heard the staff letting them know about it way before hand. I have worked in pubs in the past, I know how it goes, when a pub fills up in half an hour there is nothing no one can do about it except their best. Maybe that group expected the whole pub to stop their trade until that gentleman's booking decided to show up. Apart from this ordeal, it's a fantastic pub, I'll come back more often and recommend it to everyone.
