Blacksmiths Inn Ninfield in Wealden

Good value delicious roast beef and nice well cooked vegetables.

Enjoyed my pint in the Blacksmiths, first visit.

1st time to this lovely pub, service, food and cocktails all bloody delicious, going back on Sunday to sample the roast. Could be our new go to as it’s just 10 minutes from where we live.

Went for lunch yesterday and the food and staff were absolutely lovely. I will definitely return.

We were looking for a Sunday roast and boy did we come up trumps here. The 3 meat roast was to die for. Absolutely tremendous service, food was fantastic (a good price to!) And the atmosphere was great. Can't fault the Blacksmiths Inn at all. Thank you.

The food was not great, good selection of drinks on tap

Dropped in for a cold pint of Guinness Zero while out on a motorbike ride. First time I've been in there. Seems really nice. Will get there earlier in the day next time and have lunch.

Nice decor, friendly staff. Good parking. Easy booking. Very good calamari

Brilliant food. I had steak my wife had fish and chips, both were excellent. Staff were superb, definitely will go again!

We love this pub, the Sunday roasts are amazing. The staff are always so friendly & welcoming. So lucky to have this gem of a pub locally to us.

Very different to last time I came here, long wait for service, maybe not enough staff as was busy. Paid I think £17 for a burger and chips and got what you can see in attached photo, not impressed. Good atmosphere though and clean toilets. Hopefully just a one off bad experience

The food as always was lovely plenty of it good value for money

A really great meal. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was hot, really well cooked and there was good variety. Seems like a very well run pub. Would definitely go back.

very nice place to eat and drink

The food was lovely, and the service was excellent.

Amazing lunchtime for 10 people. We were looked after very well and the food was excellent. We had a variety of main course choices between us, which did not phase the chef or waitress. All food was served hot, beautifully cooked and presented and all at the same time so no-one was left waiting. The desserts were also delicious. We weren't rushed even though we were running into their closed period. We all agreed one of our best pub meals and we will definitely return. Highly recommended.

Sunday Roast A Must . Late Booking Lovely Lady Fitted Eight of us in So That was Great And we were met with a Lovely Smile and nothing to Much Trouble

First time eating here, was not disappointed. 10 out of 10.

Lovely place. Food was good but presentation a bit amateur. Service was without a smile but efficient.

We have visited twice in the last month for a Sunday roast. Plenty of good quality meat and a good size nut roast. 3 decent sized potatoes and good homemade yorkshires. We asked for extra vegetables and gravy which were happily provided. The staff are friendly and helpful. Other options are available if you don't want a roast. In our opinion it's the best roast locally, in both quality and amount of food. I usually cook a roast at home but as I'm currently on crutches we will be visiting more often on Sundays. Well done to all the staff, especially the chef and kitchen staff.

Well cooked food really good ambience

Have had a few meals here since we moved to the village and enjoyed each visit immensely. The food is outstanding! The service is excellent and the atmosphere is great! We will definitely return time and time again because we have to try more dishes!

Not been here for years, is now a gastro pub. Food superb, we were a big party but the kitchen and waiting staff got everything out all together and piping hot. Decor very tasteful, loved the whole thing.

Really lovely pub. Food was brilliant, service was great

Fantastic food by chef Ben, nice atmosphere and good all round pub, will be returning with the wife

Loved the tapas I had 4 nice dishes will be going back

Proper country pub with great food and great service.

It's such a nice village pub. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was gorgeous and just the right amount. We will definitely visit here again.

We came here for a late lunch, fortunately they opened till 3p.m. We ordered assorted appetizers and a duck salad. The food was good and the staff were friendly. There is more outdoor seating in front of the restaurant.

Asked for details regarding Sunday menu.once receiving details was then told once turning up at venue"no places" pity your info did not reflect original information especially as my visit was only for that time.

First class meal, highly recommended

Excellent Food, Perfect service, nice Ambiente

Food was very disappointing! 45 minute wait for starters which were not good to say the least, and the mains - well just as bad. No wonder the place was almost empty. I suggest you get a proper chef who can cook.

Very nice food and great service been a few times now and will be going again soon 5 star

The United Friends (the name I remember it by) always has kept its beer well. And the staff were friendly and chatty as always

First time here and i absolutely loved it. Staff are so helpful and friendly and the food was amazing, will definitely be back.

We were staying in the area and visited the Blacksmiths in June. We had a lovely meal all very well presented and very tasty one at that.The young lady who served us (sorry I didn't get her name ) was chatty and had a laugh with us but was efficient and friendly would certainly recommend

Absolutely love it. Good food, great atmosphere and service. Perfect for my family.

Delicious good. Probably the best pub food we have had for as long as I can remember. Large portions at reasonable prices. Lovely inside, friendly staff. One star dropped for atmosphere because we thought the car park and general outside area could do with sprucing up.

Absolutely stunning in every aspect. Never been disappointed with the food, service or the pricing. You have to try it to really understand just how good the food is! I'd give this place 6 stars if I could.

A very pleasant low key dining experience. Good quality food at reasonable prices. Excellent servicce

Superb!! Great meals & great value. Best roast in a very long time. Fish was enourmous with great crunchy batter. Really friendly staff. Apple crumble sublime.Will return very soon.

First time. Very pleased with our menu selections, especially my white bate starter. Good service.

Pleasant environment, only one server so service a bit slow. Sadly, my fish , skate, was very dry and obviously cooked from frozen. However, I'm happy to give them another go.

Ordered 2 roast to find out almost all meat choices were unavailable. Asked for no grazy. Mine came out with gravy. Corrected them but it seems as though the lamb had the gravy washed off. It came back with slight gravy still on the lamb but also wet and cold to suggest it had been rinsed off amd extremely chewy. The potatoes were under cooked. The yorkshire was dry, chewy and rubbery like a fake sponge cake. Ordered apple crumble and COLD custard for dessert. What came out seemed like warm apple sauce with some crumbs on top and hot custard then had to correct again to get cold custard all for nearly £60 Not worth it

First visit to the pub tonight. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Good atmosphere, no intrusive music. We thought the menu was great, with plenty of choice. We chose Pie of the Day (steak & kidney) and Fish 'n' Chips, followed by white chocolate cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Decent portion size, not too big. The food was tasty & well presented. We're looking forward to a return visit.

Food and service was excellent and very reasonably priced

Delicious food and helpful, friendly staff. Will definitely be back soon

Super quality good food at reasonable prices would cerainly recommend.

Lovely food and kind, friendly staff. Recommend a visit.

Food was presented well in gastro style on wooden boards. Fish dishes were good and an unusual moussaka combination was served with undressed salad and dry toast. My halloumi burger looked great if a little underdone. The rustic look to the blacksmiths worked well with a variety of tables and booths with odd chairs and benches. It was a shame that there was only one server/bartender since it meant that service was sketchy. We were not asked about food quality or if we needed drinks refreshed. We lost interest in choosing a desert having been left to ourselves for so long. When it came to go I joined another lady to wait ten minutes at the bar. Another time I might have just walked away but we do need to support local businesses.

They NEED more stars!! Never been here before, but came after another pub (not too far away) failed to give what their website promised...a ploughman's lunch. A quick call to The Blacksmiths Inn was met with a "yes we can make one up for you" attitude, it wasn't on the menu yet they went above and beyond to satisfy our wants & needs. Great pub, nice atmosphere, staff really nice and welcoming. Never been here before but certainly will return. Thank you 😊

Visited here for a three course meal with a group of friends and it was a bit hit and miss unfortunately. The breaded brie for starter was great, but thought the venison main was a little bland and the crème brulee appeared split. The staff were however friendly, and we had a quirky little table/booth. The crackers on the table was also a nice touch and provided some entertainment for the evening.

Good friendly service,great food!

Great food ,friendly service , worth a visit

Cracking food, gluten free options too and they also provide gluten free roast dinners so we will be returning

Great meal last night. Always welcoming and good service.

Excellent, reasonable choice of food and very well cooked and presented. Friendly staff and the homemade cakes - wow!

Went for lunch. Great food and excellent service. Good selection of drinks

Great roast and service as usual well done team Blacksmiths

Always la great roast, lovely atmosphere and really helpful staff, always find space for us even at short notice.

Really lovely pub , staff are lovely and very welcoming . We only stopped for a drink after seeing the food, we are definitely going back 😁

A gastropub that lives up to the name. Excellent food, excellent ambience and decor, and the best staff in the area. Moretti on draught. Try the desserts too, which are extraordinary. Every Thursday evening is Tapas Night. A dozen amazing dishes and a very relaxed atmosphere. Love it. Highly recommended.

Just stopped for a quick drink.

Food and service good, bit more expensive than other places

Friendly staff & great value for money, with a lovely choice on the menu.

Amazing Sunday roast ❤️ Perfect place for great food and drinks!

Really tasty food, great service too

Great food particularly friendly and helpful staff but most of all I loved the music. They had some classic indie hits from the 90s low in the background enough to enjoy if you knew the music or easy to not hear if weren't interested. Excellent.

Did our friends proud, lovely spread laid on for after their wedding, lovely staff, car park a little limited, but some on street parking available, nice atmosphere, wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but if in the area would use

Really awesome, lovely food and atmosphere, great staff and all round brilliant place to eat, but personally I wouldn't order tapas there again, kinda disappointing compared to their main menu

After a trip to visit Rudyard Kipling's Home, we decided to visit this pub for lunch before heading home. It was a great choice! Friendly staff and food was tasty! Nice to have an outdoor seating option, particularly when it is a sunny day! I had the vegetable lasagne and it was packed with flavour. My friend had the red Thai chicken curry and she said it was delicious. Definitely recommend a visit if you're ever in the area!

Very friendly staff. Lovely vegs but meat cut very thin and almost impossible to chew. Banoffi pie to die for!!

FANTASTIC... great vibe very hip ., Rustic with a slight beach feel in a perfect little village... Food was amazing and especially the fish dishes. Sooooo dog friendly and the staff couldn't do enough to make our visits just perfect... Worth a visit and we will definitely be back ., Dave Lucy and Bourbon

Food excellent also very friendly staff, my new favourite restaurant. Will be visiting again very soon

Great food, good value for money and excellent service

Very good food we will go back

Nice food and a very good service

Service was brilliant, food was beautiful!

Excellent food and great service

Very nice and friendly nice couple of pints also food home cooked very nice .Will definitely go back soon

We went for Valentine's Day dinner last night and had a very pleasant 3 course meal, for £29 per head, plus drinks. We shared a mixed cheese starter which was delicious, I chose duck as my main course, my husband chose pork (though wished he'd chosen duck too 😁 ) and we had crumble for dessert - all very nice. I've no idea of their usual pricing as we've not been for a while, but I hope to return soon.

It's sign claims it's a gastro pub but the vibe is definitely more cafe than pub. Aside from a couple of specials (which were too heavy for a Saturday lunch) the menu was pretty basic. Baguettes, jacket potatoes, burgers. Nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either. Staff was friendly.

Great food Great beer staff very friendly will go back again see you soon Ken

Pleasant staff, delicious and well presented food, reasonable prices, clean and easily accessible toilets, nice surroundings, car park. What's to not like?

A family run pub very good food family always makes you feel welcome

Delicious home cooked food in a family run pub. Friendly prompt service. We will come here again soon!

We have used The blacksmith Inn many times and have always been very satisfied . Good atmosphere. Good food. Friendly staff.

A family lunch to celebrate a 76 th birthday...delicious and welcoming by staff too

Excellent meals and a wonderful atmosphere. Service was impeccable as usual

Lovely food, great staff. Being dog friendly is a huge bonus!!

Great food and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely return

Lovely meal, reasonably priced. Excellent waitress

I had my wedding reception at The Blacksmiths Inn yesterday. We had a lovely day and all our guests were very impressed. The food was lovely and the service was great. The girls working there are lovely and went above and beyond for us. Great experience all round and would highly recommend

Lovely pub,great food,good service.Very good raspberry gin.

So nice food, staff and Pub, can't wait until I go there again, nothing was too much trouble! !

Friendly young staff, nice pub and fantastic home made food. We will be back

I was recommended this pub for a amazing Sunday roast.im sorry but...the roast potatoes were not crispy nor lacking flavour.veg was served separate but had terrible Yorkshire pudding,stuffing was salty and very similar to packet rubbish,gravy was sparce so had to ask for more. For the price I'm sorry to say not good enough.

We went there last night for a family dinner. The restaurant setting was fab. The food and service was excellent! We would definitely go back next tme we are in Ninfield. Each of us had really tasty food and big portions. Yum!

Would give the place 6 stars if we could! Great pub, managed to deal with a last minute group booking really well and food was fantastic (really recommend the Haloumi burger). Best of all staff really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and sort things out for us.
