Blacksmiths Coniston in East Riding of Yorkshire

Food was OK, not exceptional as I had heard great reviews, portion size on the small side unless you like chips !

Fantastic Atmosphere, Great Service

Always a good place for a meal.

Very nice. Best food had all week

What a lovely meal visited on a Saturday night for grandson's birthday from walking in to finishing our meal was spot on food delicious service no 1 staff very helpful definitely visit again

Decent food, had better had worse. The service was poor and could put a dampener on things if you let it. Reasonable price, plenty of room for larger groups.

Proper chips. Proper scampi. Proper mushy peas. Loved it. Great service. Sure the atmosphere will pick up later.

I was told by a few people how nice it was here but I was a bit dissapoiinted with the food. The lady that served us was friendly & helpful. For me I was not very impressed with the food, I had the lamb tikka, & it was very tough, with salad & fries plus two things chopped in a sauce think it was onion of a non descript taste, my husband had chicken in a cream sauce he said tasted very bland. Two main meals & two drinks each came to over £50 , for this price I expect to enjoy my meal, overall I wouldn't rush back

Visited on a Friday lunchtime. Great service, top quality food large portions friendly staff efficient service and reasonable prices. Specials board and great desserts A definite will go again experience

My wife had the Gammon very disappointed full of fat under cooked some of the chips were under cooked my wife does not like to complain but would expect better for the price will not re visit.

Went with great expectations left disappointed got the black pudding stack which was 2 thin pieces of black pudding and a burger then the steak pie which would have been ok but for the most disgusting gravy only able to eat half of it left the rest my wife had chicken Kiev which was a piece of bread chicken to top it all £5 for a poor pint of cask beer the whole thing was over priced complained twice to no avail paid up and left won’t be back

Our new favourite place for lunch, food is excellent as is the service. Very clean and very friendly. Portion sizes are more than generous

Food was excellent, the staff were really pleasant and made it a lovely evening. Service was fine despite the place being reasonably busy. The layout of the tables doesn’t make the place seem at all crowded. Great experience.

We went today as it was highly recommended and it didn't disappoint!The food was really nice and we will definitely be going back soon.

Love this place been quite a few time's never had any issues.

Lovely food. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Very nice and clean, food and staff Very good. Steak and ale pie was spot on.

Brilliant meal and great service as always

Amazing food 13 of us ,all good

Great place, lovely food, atmosphere, and friendly staff.

Food has always been very good here. I really recommend the steak! The rump is done exactly as you want it and tasty too, no sauce needed!

Beautiful restaurant bar that serves up freshly cooked meals. We had chicken a la creme and a Sunday roast. Accompanied by someone who is gf the staff made sure she was caterer for! We will return!

Good food.welcoming atmosphere. Not much choice for vegetarians or vegans.

Been here many times for Sunday Lunch always nice food Today had beef Sunday lunch very nice but have noticed the portion sizes seem to have been reduced Also staff need to smile a bit more but one was very friendly

Excellent food, friendly staff and nice beer. I can highly recommend the steak pie. One of the best I've had.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary by booking in for lunch. We had great things about the Blacksmith and was not disappointed. Excellent food and friendly staff. Will be going again.

Amazing. Just amazing. Great food brilliant service and a good price.

Love this place always lucky to get a table would recommend booking first. Been a few times and all the food is always amazing. Great service and atmosphere very friendly staff one of my favourite places to eat must try Sunday lunch.

Having never been before i had no idea what to expect. The food was lovely and didnt take too long to come out. The only reasons it isnt 5 star across the board is; regarding the service the lady that looked after our group wasn't very friendly, most of our group felt that way. And the atmosphere, unfortunately when we entered we had to enter into a room where a wake was being held. Id have thought while a wake was on directions or signs to the other door would be a good idea. Both for those attending the wake not being disrupted by the public, and for the public to not have to walk through that kind of function. It was my grandfathers 87th birthday and it put a bit of a dampner on things unfortunately. We have all said that given the food was so nice we would like to come by another time and give it another try.

Staying at a local country park went past a couple of times looked busy so thought give it a go at lunchtime. Top marks from start to finish my wife and I enjoyed our meals and the service. My wife had the steak and ale pie I had the lamb tikka we will return this is what I give a 10/10.

Super friendly staff and delicious food

Pub lunch with friends. Very friendly staff who are efficient, good value food which was delicious and served piping hot. Will definitely be returning.

We have been every so often for a few years now. It has always been enjoyable. The service has never been slow. The food has always been fantastic. Excellent experience. We prefer to avoid the busy times, but have occasionally been when full and still had a pleasant experience.

Large pub/restaurant, good menu with food standard to match. Very engaging staff above and beyond what you normally encounter. Well maintained and very clean, large car park and across from the pub a very good farm shop reasonably priced. Highly recommend a visit.

We visited here recently. It was my first visit and won’t be my last. I had the Greek flatbread which was delicious, and my party were also really happy with their meals, which included the gammon and the steak pie. The highlight was the raspberry cheesecake! It was absolutely gorgeous, best I’ve ever had anywhere. I’d order delivery of it if it was possible. The prices were on the higher side but you get what you pay for. The portion sizes were big and filling. The service was efficient and friendly. Can’t wait to go again.

Cosy wee place. Great food and reasonably priced. Book ahead as always full. Understandably, due to the quality of food and friendly staff.

what a find!! the food was delicious and such big portions. the menu included different dishes, not the same as usual run of mill found in most pubs. can't recommend highly enough

Great food Great service lovely staff

Fantastic meal for my daughters birthday

Staying local at willows pastures we had a great time here Me & friends enjoyed our lunch here A variation of meals Lasagne Steak pie Scampi Steak All cooked beautifully , staff were great but did forget our second round of drinks Would highly recommend if in the area

This was our first visit to the Blacksmiths Arms and it won't be our last. We pass it regularly and noticed that the car park is always busy so thought it must be worth a look. Three of us had lunch at 2.30 today and it was excellent. Chicken Snitzel, beef stronganoff and Philly flatbreads - good platefuls and great food, couldn't fault. Very pleasant staff, plenty of space and nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Excellent food . Admittedly a bit pricey . Especially the sweets . But can't fault anything else .

Rang and booked a table a week in advance, arrived early Sunday afternoon, we were shown to a table in the busiest part of the pub, asked if we could be moved somewhere quieter as my husband is deaf and finds it hard in a noisy area, I was Informed that was all they had or we could sit outside, seeing as there seemed to be plenty of empty tables we thought that was strange.ordered drinks and chose our meals, starters were lovely. Main course was very nice except for the steak pie which was dried out and hard to eat, I should have sent it back, the other main meals were very nice. We have been many times during the week and found the food very good so was disappointed today, service was very good.

Loverly staff great food ., Nice atmosphere, very clean Went twice for family meal and was fab Will be back in future ………..

Lovely environment, pleasant staff, great food.

Excellent food and very helpful staff. Highly recommended

Booked a family meal for my daughters 21st birthday, first time visiting and wasn't disappointed. 20 of us booked, pre order sent with a last minute change on the morning which wasn't any issue, all food came out together and was beautiful, all fresh, cooked perfectly, plus was homemade chips. Dave and his team looked after us all plus brought out the cake, nothing was to much. We had 6 children with us which wasn't a problem, great family pub and was lovely to have the family together enjoying a nice meal. Thanks team Blacksmith Arms we will definitely be back and recommending

Food was amazing will be coming back again.

A great place to eat probably one of the finest within 20 miles

Great food and the staff very helpful and polite , well worth a visit

Sunday lunch was bland,Turkey with dark beef gravy. We have had other meals, the first time you have it it's great, the second time different, not as good. It's a shame, because we really like the place. Just dissatisfied with the food. Sorry.

Our first time at The Blacksmiths Arms and it wont be our last. Popped in on a weekday lunchtime and the place was quite busy but the young girl found us a table and brought our drinks. I noticed they served a special for smaller appetites so went for the small fish, chips and peas. My uncle had the same and my partner had the Greek flatbread. The fish and chips are the best I have tasted in a long time and was more than enough for us, so glad I didn't get the large. My partner raved about her meal and even before we got home was asking when we are going again. The service was friendly and efficient, the ale was good and the food was top notch. Well done Chef.

Visited several times, staff are polite but fast. We had starters and main in 30 minutes flat, so felt rushed. Recently changed menu, so no mixed grill, before was lovely and its been removed. Thought we would try new menu and it has gone down hill for us. Shame as we wont be going back. Food bland

Great food and brilliant, friendly service.

Cracking big pub great food and staff

Excellent food, brilliant service. Good value

Lovely food as always. Service was not the best( except the young lady waitress) we booked a table for 6 of us( last week) ,only walk ins came in and their food order was taken( and food arrived) before ours . Very disappointing birthday night out.

Its is a lovely place to eat. The pub itself has a lovely atmosphere, the decor is quite modern inside.There is soo much choice on the menu. We had between us, lamb tikka, which was amazing, chicken ala creame with crushed garlic potatoes & veg, steak sandwich which our friend had & highly praised it, & salmon & prawn linguini which again was beautiful. The sweets were to die for, I had raspberry cheese cake & I can honestly say it was the most delicious I've ever tasted, our friends had lemon meringue pie with raspberry icecream & sticky toffee pudding, absolutely huge portion. All in all, a very pleasant experience & we will definitely be going back again. Thank you to the staff at the blacksmiths Arms Coniston.

We were so impressed with this restaurant. We were found a table when they were really busy without a booking, the food came really quick, and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. 5 stars on all counts

Courteous and efficient staff. Fish and chips were absolutely beautiful. Well worth a visit!

Lovely country pub,friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and great food. Food was lovely all freshly made and reasonably priced.

Can't fault this place, really great and friendly staff and the food was brilliant. Can't wait to go back!

Highly recommend the filet steak, which was very tasty and was cooked to perfection 👌

Lovely food, nice friendly staff

Been here a couple of times now. Lovely food and very pleasant staff.

We had chicken Caesar wrap and Mexican chicken wrap - chicken very dry and virtually no chicken or sauce on either wrap - very disappointing - could have got better wraps from Asda !!

We come here all the time. Great food and service, would recommend

10/10 brilliant food, brilliant staff love it everytime.. thanks guys 👍😉

Went for a birthday meal with family, we go to Blacksmiths quite often. Usually excellent, but was a bit disappointed on this occasion. Had a steak to be cooked medium rare. steak was thin overcooked and leathery. Garlic potatoes weren't very hot, so overall not good. Rest of family enjoyed, so won't let it put me off.

What a lovely local village pub. The food was superb, fresh and tasty. I will be going again! Thanks

Had the steak pie Sunday lunch was lovely. Would definitely book in advance as always busy especially Sunday.

Fabulous food, great value for money

Went in blacksmiths today and yet again no complaints from us lovely food polite staff recommend it to anyone

Meat pie was outstanding,great service at a decent price,will definitely be back Been back on several occasions and it's just as good,fast becoming my favourite eatery

Excellent quality food and service - not too busy when we arrived about 3pm but was filling up by the time we left around 4.30pm. This was a Saturday by the way.

Nice food. Lots of choice. Friendly staff. Will be returning

Lamb 'Henry' and the Aubergine Dhal curry were absolutely delicious! Perfect spot for dinner after a day walking. Staff were really lovely too. The front panelled room with the fireplace is the best room so request to sit there if you can!

Sunday lunch with a beautiful lady, made even better with a delicious sunday roast,thank you all.

Very friendly staff, excellent quality food and service, exceptionally clean and tidy inside. Really pleasant experience.

Great service, food, beer and quality the staff are all amazing too, never disappointed will be visiting again soon.

Had a lovely meal, really tasty.

Excellent food 😋 pricey but don't mind paying for good grub

Visited with my partner on the recommendation of a friend, we didn’t book a table & just turned. We was lucky to get a table as it was a very busy Friday night. This was our first visit We was shown to our table, which was in front of the window facing the front car park.(it was cold ) & our drinks order was promptly taken. However we had to wait a while for our food order to be taken. My partner ordered the steak and Ale pie & he said it was the best pie he had tasted on a long time I ordered the Halloumi skillet (only 5 vegetarian options available. The skillet was very nice so no complaints at all on the food. Just wish they did more vegetarian options. Ie vegetarian lasagna would be great. We hen we had finished our food our plates was taken away & we was asked if everything was ok. At this point we still had our drinks. When we had finished it was hard to get the attention of the staff to pay the bill. Once we received the bill I went to the bar at the back & waited to be served, a waitress looked over from what looked like a service point & smiled but never came over. Then another waitress said sorry this bar is closed yous need to go to the front bar to pay, there was no sign to state this & the other waitress had just let me stand there. The food was good. I just think the staffs attention let’s it down really. This said it was only my first visit & I will be looking to return with my partner & Son. Please please do a vegetarian lasagna.

Lovely family meal ,good food ,good service, lovely and clean

Went as part of a party of 11 including a toddler with multiple allergies. Nothing on kids menu was suitable so they made a suitable alternative which went down very well. Excellent service and food was delicious. Would highly.recommend.

Just had a meal for 15 people we pre ordered our food when booking which made it so easy for us and the staff, the food was outstanding every plate was excellent quality the staff couldn't help enough with us what a wonderful experience highly recommended 👌

A very nice surprise as very modern inside. A busy pub/restaurant with a nice selection of well cooked traditional dishes. Portions are good, tasty food and very friendly staff, plus not a wallet buster.

It was a 70th birthday meal. The food was excellent considering that there were 21 people to serve, no one had to wait and all food was hot and cooked to a high standard. Will definitely return.

A great place for lunch with an extensive menu and lovely food. Friendly staff and good service.

We came for alovely meal for my bday, the staff,food and service were excellent. We will visit again thank you.

Calamari starter wad awful , main course not very nice

Brilliant food and service. Lucy a gem to have at any venue. Chef obviously loves his job and his food. Great home cooked options that all tasted great.

Really good home cooked food, nice size portions and flavourful dishes Friendly staff

Great food , reasonably priced , very good service

Had food here on 1st January, just the 2 of us, had food from the specials board, chicken tikka flat bread, was absolutely gorgeous. The food was amazing, the staff were fantastic, special mention for Lucy who is always awesome. Well done blacksmiths, 100% as always. Wendy and al, see you soon ☺️

Very busy night. Service was excellent. Food as usual was delicious. It was our friends first time and they were really impressed

Only the second time that we've been here. But both experiences were fantastic, the food was very good and good value, the service was also good, and the style of the pub makes for a fantastic atmosphere.

Clean friendly, good car parking.
