The Blacksmiths Arms 1010 Restaurant in Horsham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Super restaurant, nice and cozy atmosphere, and above all delicious food. We had the Sunday roast (beef), super tasty!

2 overcooked meals 2 drinks £70.00 never going this place again

My first visit to Blacksmiths Arms, having been recommended to me. Not disappointed! Greeted by Jay, an absolute entertainment package! Friendly, welcoming, attentive without smothering us. Menu varied & just what we were hoping for. Food arrived. Sumptuous! Think we were the first to arrive & the last to leave. A fab afternoon. Will be returning repeatedly!

Lovely place to eat and drink with a high quality of service all round

We were all very happy with our food (roast beef, pasta, pizza) and that is quite a feat. It was reasonably priced and the service was good: warm, friendly and attentive. I would definitely eat here again.

It was a lovely time spent in a pleasant atmosphere. What makes this a nice place is the team that works here , we had an amazing guy serve our table, and everyone we came across acknowledged us . I really enjoyed the choice of formal dining or sitting in a more casual setting. I will go back again.

Excellent food and service highly recommended

This is a diamond in the rough, fantastic food, fantastic host, just fantastic

Fantastico! Even the espresso rocks!

Pretty from outside stark and in inspiring in side staff need to have a lesson on customer service how to greet people with a smile and a Hallo would not return

Food was excellent but service was very slow. The restaurant was busy but still disappointed that it took such a long time just to even order drinks. The food when it arrived was outstanding though.

Went there for our daughters 40th birthday dinner. Staff were great, food was great. Would highly recommend.

All the food was excellent but the day's special was not described clearly and there was no written description. Consequently it was much too large for all but the hungry and young which was a shame. For Italian food I would certainly recommend this pub.

Met family and friends here for my 40th birthday. Food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Brilliant service. Lovely friendly staff. Good food as well.

First time great, second time good wasn’t good- sword fish with olive sauce was horrid. Chef : please taste before serving.

Popped in here on the off chance with my husband for some lunch it was absolutely disgusting my husband had the seaford risotto which he could hardly eat due to the shells of the mussels and the prawn overcooked and rubbery as was the squid I had pear and spinach in tortellini (sort of thing)with rocket, it was over cooked and tasted awful shop bought and not authentic The server was very nice Very pleasant. It's a real shame because the place looked lovely Won't be back and definitely don't recommend

nice restaurant where the food is good. However, be careful of possible scams: the boss offered us a seabass for two and served us a gray mullet (4 or 5 times cheaper at the market). At our remarks, he seemed to no longer understand our English. We have been invoiced to seabass for £65. So if you shake his hand, count your fingers carefully

Very welcoming and excellent Italian food. Well priced too.

A great find, good fresh food and excellent pizza, matched by friendly staff.

Always great food. Excellent service. My favourite restaurant.

Lovely pub. Great burgers and very friendly staff

Maybe caught them on a bad day but food was oversalted (I like salt but not as the only flavour!) outside of which there's was nothing else to taste which is kind of worrying in a fish dish!

Such a great little pub with some amazing Italian food. The pasta and pizza are to die for and it’s such good value

Generous portions and really friendly service!

Busy as heck on Mothering Sunday but all good, food was great (Italian menu + Sunday roasts available ). Thanks guys.

The food was really good. The Sunday roast dinner (Lamb) was tender and delicious as well as the homemade burger - super tasty! The kids penne bolognaise was also great. The Snowball dessert with nutella (like mini donuts) was a lovely end to the meal 😊

Such lovely staff, made to feel really welcome and as if you’re the only people there. Food was great and accommodated us really well. It was my Sisters birthday too and they gave her a special surprise!

Worth traveling 40 miles for lunch at this wonderful restaurant...

Great Italian food with attentive service.

Good pizzas and a good welcome, will definitely go back when we're in the area.

Great food, outstanding service well worth a visit

Had sunday lunch on the 21st everything great will go again Jeff

Good food good service and good atmosphere , horrible weather but still a warm welcome and very professional staff.

Superb four course lunch. Food well prepared and presented, good choice for most palette preferences, served piping hot and service excellent. Rum Baba...remember those ? Well they do a fantastic one. Now off home for a Food Coma ! Thank you to all at 1010

Not happy with Christmas Dinner which cost us £250 for 3 plus 12 .1/2% service charge which we should have refused to pay but didn't

Excellent food and service. When we are back in the area, we will definitely be back. (Jan/Feb) next year.

Only discovered a few weeks ago and been lots since! Food amazing and service best we have had in a long time! Defo go it’s amazing! Kid Friendly!

We went last night (Boxing day) and had a wonderful meal and we were really well looked after. Great pub as well as the restaurant. Really very glad we chose this place and that they were open and a great welcome, brilliant food and amazing service and staff. I heartily recommend.

VERY limited options for vegetarians - one pasta dish, one risotto. The pasta dish was very nice, but I could have comfortably eaten half as much again - why does it always seem to be the assumption that veggies don't eat as much as "normal" people?

Had a great meal and the staff are very friendly would highly recommend will definitely be back

I challenge you to find a better more authentic Italian dining experience in West Sussex. The food is consistantly brilliant and delicious, freshly cooked, stylishly presented and un-fussy yet fine dining standard. We've been going for years and some of the staff faces may have changed but the quality of service abounds. Superb! The Italian restaurant works well in concert with the traditional English pub; making the perfect atmosphere!

After a long afternoon of driving, my friends and I stopped in for some lunch. The service was fantastic and the food was served in a timely fashion. Two of us had the carbonara and one the pizza - the food was fresh, hot and had that lovely homemade taste. We would Reccomend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Birthday dinner at the 1010 restaurant. As we had a very early booking there were a few noisy kids when we arrived but they soon left and then we had a peaceful experience. The food was lovely and super staff served us.

Went a lunchtime on spec, the food was of a very good quality and the service was excellent. Lacked slightly in atmosphere, but the weather had been poor that week, which I suspect had put people off If you are in the area, it is certainly worth a visit, and we shall return. The sharing board of bread, cheese, and meats to start is not to be missed Be warned that the portions are large, but that's not too much of a problem, is it?

Such a friendly restaurant, always greeted with a smile. Great for a family Sunday lunch, and the pizza's are on another level. Especially the calzone! Go there with an appetite.

Delicious food, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.

A nice old house to go with friends or families, super friendly staffs and the foods are good but for me a bit salty.

Took a large group (40+) to the restaurant last night. The service was excellent along with the food. I enjoyed the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection, and some of our party had the specials which were utterly amazing. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good quality Italian food.

We had a wonderful meal here with a warm, friendly welcome, delicious and delightful Italian dishes, in the ambience of a wood-beamed English inn. The highlight were the exquisite handmade pasta, and a fantastic pistachio cake (with which I strongly recommend the option of chocolate ice cream alongside). Many thanks to the owner and staff for a relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Great pub. I booked for myself and 20 others and they were really accommodating. Only lets you book 15 online but I gave them a call and they happily changed it. Really friendly staff and a great clean atmosphere. The food was tasty and I'd really recommend the pizza. It's massive and decently priced. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

When after reading the reviews , Was just two of us. Anaversery night Shame did not live upto the reviews Table by the counter in and out , Lovely server but let down buy wait time,and the food was so much salt in .was ment to be grilled more like burnt and killed i dont know why i did not send it back . I did not feel any italian feel (shame ) Will i go back no 🙈 Shame for the price food could be a lot better And maybe a view lights candles for a better ora ,,,,

The food was absolutely amazing. One of the best roast dinners I have ever tasted. Perfect beef, gravy was delicious. Could not fault anything!

Amazing staff, some of the best food I've ever eaten. Good portions too! Will definitely go back!!

We stopped off here today on route to a weekend at the coast and was warmly welcomed with no reservation and had the most delicious meal, service was amazing and the atmosphere a warm family environment where everyone was welcome , We will most definitely return . The knyou to all the staff ! X

Would give more for service as our waiter was excellent. Food very good, specials a bit expensive for lunchtimes, but would go again.

Absolutely delicious authentic food, accompanied by attentive and timely service. Adversane is quite far from us but we will be back very soon!

Tuesday special. Pappardelle with beef steak and mushrooms. £££20 a piece. Apart from the salty mushrooms, the dish is a comfort meal. Cannoli was a massive disaster. The pastry shell was not crispy. Filling was not sweet. It felt some things were off, out of date, not fresh. Cough out the first Cannoli and leave the rest. Main meal okay, desert disappointed. 12.5% service charges. £65 for two. For what you were eating, it is on the expensive side.

Great Italian restaurant /pub. Plentiful dishes, expertly prepared at very reasonable prices. Tomohawk steak represents excellent value for money and all dishes for a party of 14 served at the same time. Very attentive and family friendly service. Price per head includes a number of drinks including 5 bottles of wine. 9/10 would recommend.

Beautiful food, friendly attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant...a superb dining experience! 10/10

We chose to dine in. Customer service and atmosphere were very good. My chicken pasta dish was tasty, however, the portion size was too small. The Rum Baba was just ok, but overpriced for what you get. My wife did not enjoy her Sunday Roast. The chicken and gravy tasted bland and there were hardly any potatoes. Her tiramisu was also, just ok. Since there are very few places around us that offer delivery, we may give this place one more chance.

Really nice vibe. Great selection of drinks. Food is really tasty. Only thing I would change is to have a bit more room for people wanting just drinks. However that being said I really like the little snug with the arm chairs.

Second visit today. Went last year. Stunning food. Well presented. Great atmosphere. Hard working staff.

Amazing food and service thank you

Found this place by accident while staying nearby, and it was SO good. I didn’t realise it was an Italian restaurant at first. We were so hungry and the portions were huge. The service was lovely, the food was quick and hot and just wow! I couldn’t fault anything at all! A real 10/10

We were recommended but the charming (mainly Italian) service and food (authentically Italian of high quality) were all just fab!

We had our practice meal here and it was fantastic!

Fantastic food, and what wonderful service from true friendly people!! Tuna in the mixed grill was fantastic! Such a nice change to experience this in the UK!

Food was amazing , and the restaurant was clean and well presented .

Stopped on the off chance to get food on way home. Quick efficient service - steak was like butter best one eating out in so long. No complaints. Very busy. Great prices. Readily recommend.

First time here, made to feel very welcome and looked after. Food was absolutely delicious, had grilled fish special and it wad cooked perfectly. Had to have the tiramasu for pudding and didnt regret that either. Host/Owner is very welcoming and attentive which makes for a great impression.

This restaurant is wonderful. I have eaten here many times and it's consistently excellent. I recommend the pear and gorgonzola pasta. And the pistachio cake is to die for. The staff are always so welcoming and attentive. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful place to go and dine. Staff were amazing and food was exquisite, we were shocked aylt how godd the price was. We will be going back

This was our first time going. We were warmly welcomed, specials were told to us as menus were handed to us. Brilliant service and atmosphere and looking forward to returning.

Went for a meal with family. My food was nice, but nothing particularly special about it. My Dad had a steak that was so tough he couldn't eat half of it. My brother said his lamb was lovely. Service started off brilliantly but tapered off and became very slow after our starters had been served.

Engelse pub, maar van binnen italiaans restaurant met echte italianen. Heerlijk gegeten en gezellig personeel.

Highly recommend this restaurant. Food and service were excellent.

Great food and Drinks and the service is top quality 👌🏻 👏 👍🏻

Absolutely superb service from everyone that worked there, delicious food and very attentive. The mussels and the sea bass were delightful!

Vriendelijk personeel, lekker eten wat goed op smaak is, voldoende keuze op de kaart. Pistache cake als nagerecht is een echte aanrader.

Amazing food, fab atmosphere, super value. A definite visit

Food was good with a good choice. We were in a large room with the larger party sizes. The room echoed a lot which probably didn't help with the atmosphere...

The best Italian restaurant north of Rome !!!!

We had a meal for seven, and the food was all excellent. The service was good and we'll definitely be back again!

Fantastic food and very friendly service. Visited in a big group for a family celebration yesteday and really enjoyed it. Would recommend

I was booked to dine here last week only to find that the car park (which was small) entirely full. Parking directly on the A29 which is treacherous at the best of times and at night (without any street lighting) wad not an option. No doubt the reason the place was full was because the food is exceptionally good, but I never got the chance to taste it hence my rating.

This is our favorite local Italian and we are warmly welcomed every time and served amazing dishes, no matter the choices!

Excellent food and service despite being so busy for mother's day.

Really nice food and the service was great. Definitely going back 👍

Excellent Italian food, reasonable prices and local beer.

Had a lovely dinner last night at the Blacksmith Arms 😋 food was delish and the service was great. Food is made fresh so if you need to change something in the dish for allergy or dietary preferences you can! Thank you chef! 😊

Great food and service as always. The prawns really are amazing!

Amazing service and pizza. I heard this plane was top notch but it really was. Best pizza around and good price

Very welcoming, good authentic food

Delicious !!! Great service. Great wine, particularly the Italian Red recommended by our waiter.

This was such a great and accommodating place food was amazing! Tomahawk steaks where 🤌🏽.. Woukd 100% come back if intl the area again

The desserts and coffee were really good. Chicken and Pasta with prawns were so so. The sea bass was good. Not Italy but a good try. Excellent service

Great Italian restaurant in a tradional pub, quite a suprise. Food was delicious, attentive staff, plenty of parking. Would recommend

Always very friendly staff and the food is fantastic. Was worried it would be quite cold in the restaurant given the weather but it was not, and great to see the restaurant filling up, as on previous occasions we have almost been the sole guests.

Love coming here - amazing Italian food & super friendly staff.
