The Blacksmiths Arms in East Staffordshire

Came for food and we were not disappointed. Sunday roast beef was delicious. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff, highly recommend.

We had a meal here for boxing day for 11 of us, the food all came out hot and together and was delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Thank you to the team for making our family get a pleasurable one

My wife, daughter and myself went for a Xmas meal and were very impressed. Service and quality of food was very good indeed. There was plenty of turkey and a nice choice of vegetables. Xmas pud and the brandy sauce was very moorish and overall had no issues with Sean and his team Can readily recommend

Wow. My wife and daughter have had the Christmas dinner ( me as well 😜) and it was extremely nice. Sean and his team are bang on point and the mains were gorgeous ( masses of turkey) and a Xmas pud to die for. Very pleased indeed and very happy to recommend both the food and venue. Merry Christmas to you all.

We came for a small work christmas get together, Food was amazing, the staff was lovely and welcoming. Would 100% recommend to friends and family, would come back again.

The Blacksmiths has become a great local pub again. Food and service is spot on and the atmosphere is great. The owners are so nice and can’t do enough for the customers they go above and beyond. I would highly recommend a visit.

Much better under the new management. Great Kronenberg.

Excellent food and great friendly service.

Great friendly service and delicious food as always.

Really nice food and excellent value for money

First visit since new ownership, will definately not be the last. a very warm and friendly welcome

We had a 4oz rump and a fabulous salad containing everything you could think of. Really relaxed atmosphere, warm and welcoming. Felt safe and glad our local is now a good place to go.

Fabulous food and service ,highly recommended

Visited for lunch before go-karting. Amazing experience. The welcome was extremely friendly but not over the top. Very accommodating. Shame I live in Lincoln because it would become my regular place to go

Today was our second visit for a monthly lunch with friends and have booked next month for the festive fayre - we have all been impressed with the food and friendly service. It was one of our groups birthday and the table was decorated with balloons and special 'happy birthday' serviettes which was a lovely touch. We also noted that it is dog friendly so will definitely bear that in mind for another time

Today was our 2nd visit to the Blacksmith Arms. We absolutely love it, the menu is great with great offers & good sized portions. It was my birthday celebration and I got balloons on the table and happy birthday serviettes. The lady that looked after us is amazing, really attentive making sure we had a great meal. The puddings are really special too! Highly recommend, value for money, great service & we’re be back next mth for our a Christmas meal.

Excellent food and great service.

The best Sunday lunch in Burton for a long time

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, great food and very good price, would certainly recommend, we look forward to are next visit.

We live locally, and thought we would give it a try, seeing it is under new management, The three of us thoroughly enjoyed everything, superb pub grub, great service and surroundings, We will definitely return. well done to all

A lovely welcome from the host. Staff attentive but not in your face. Good very good value and delicious

Great food, and friendly atmosphere. Recommed.

Amazing food, lovely staff! So clean and the little touches in the bathroom are gorgeous! Highly recommend!

We visited the Blacksmiths today. We were made to feel very welcome by friendly staff. The service was impeccable. The food was stunning and beautifully presented. Looking forward to going again. Highly recommended

Went here for Sunday lunch. Friendly welcoming staff, lovely food. Great value for money, will definitely be returning.

Excellent service this evening . Orders and payment taken at table so didn't have to que at bar. Food came out on good time fresh hot and tasty. Definitely recommend .

My daughter and I called in today 25/10/2024.for lunch and we were warmly welcomed. After being supplied with drinks we made our selection from the menu. Our meals were excellent and we have no complaints. We would visit again.

Extremely pleasant dinning experience, food was great, would recommend

Excellent family run pub with lovely atmosphere. Manager? Who served us was friendly and attentive. Although we had food on a busy Friday evening it wasn't delayed and was just the home cooked food we wanted which wasn't too expensive either. Brill place

Great food at very good price. And lovely service and nice place to eat. Will definitely be back again

Great choice of food, good choice of beers wood recommend.

Welcoming staff, Make you feel welcome i found them extremely friendly.

Lovely food and great service. Thankyou x

Delicious food, brilliant staff and lovely pub. Very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be going back.

Staff very polite. Excellent service throughout 👏. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary with family. The staff gave us a card and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you to all the staff. Would definitely recommend 👌 x

Takeaway Chicken Pie and Classic Burger, Meal Deal 2 for £13.50. Excellent value (big saving), excellent food. Good choice of other meals.

We had a lovely meal at The Blacksmiths. The service and the food were excellent. The portions were also refreshingly generous. Definitely recommend and will eat there again.

Excellent good quality food. Very quick service. Staff are always friendly. Would highly recommend.

So warm and welcoming, dropped in for a late one Sunday, warm welcome, and a delight as we'd picked my dad up who was hungry, a nibbles platter was brought out for all the patrons in there to share! Great ale too

Cracking little local pub with great landlords and staff who are always friendly and serving with a smile...

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing bar staff. Best pub in the midlands. Sean and tom will make you feel very welcome. This is how a pub should be.

The food here is absolutely stunning, service is impeccable, we took our daughter for a meal after a day out, found this little gem by accident & couldn’t have been happier! Would definitely visit again

Went with my wife and 2 daughters. The kids menu has plenty of choice and the chicken nuggets on there were lovely (I may have stolen one from my daughter). Eldest had a burger and chips and she said it was really nice. My wife and I had 5 small dishes, all 5 were amazing. Will be going there later for more food! The staff are all really friendly and welcoming. Great to have this pub back and doing well! A big well done to all the staff.

Went for dinner before the pub quiz, the service was really friendly and welcoming. We had our drinks and food within 15 minutes. It was delicious and piping hot. The meal deal 2 for £13.50 was a bargain! Will definitely return. It’s a shame there weren’t more for the pub quiz but hopefully in time it will grow as they deserve the pub to be a huge success.

First time here today at first was disappointied that no Sunday lunch was available but was explained that this starts next weekend, The staff were very attentive and the place was spotlessly clean,The food was fantastic and extremely well priced,looking forward to the Sunday lunch next time,well done blacksmiths Arms😀

2 for £13.50 but definitely not cheap crap food , 4 of us went and had different dishes the double chicken sf breast burger was tasty & filling , Steak and ale pie although not home made was hot and good amount of meat in it served with mash but opted for chips , veg and gravy , i had the Chilli taco rolls with rice guacamole and corn cob again hot and tasty although rice a bit to spicy for me (Personal preference) because of the great value we had desserts very nice and with diet cokes and a tip for staff it came to £16.50 each ......Excellent value , nice venue, friendly welcome , all together great lunch out ....we will return

This was my first visit to this pub, I was made to feel very welcome and the atmosphere was great. I will definitely visit this pub when I'm back in the area. Thanks for a good evening

Wonderful time celebrating sons 13th birthday here. On arrival our table had lovely surprise of balloons, banners and decorations ready! We all had starters, mains and desserts. Food was served hot, great portion sizes and was very tasty. Great atmosphere and quick service too!

Excellent food! Full of flavour and good value for money. Friendly, welcoming and courteous staff. We’re so impressed that we’ve booked to come again in a few days time. Highly recommend 🥰

Both landlords are extremely rude and don’t know how to speak or treat customers. They close earlier than Google says. If you want a Guinness don’t go here, they 100% don’t know how to pour it.

Can’t pour Guinness, poor service, wonky pool table, closes at random times

Used to be my local in the 1990's called in for a pint with my grandson changed quite a lot but very impressed with the decor

Visited at the wrong time as the pub is in the process of changing hands, they did not have the kitchen open but encouraged us to fetch food from the local supermarket to bring in. Good decision as the beer was excellent.

We (The Honourable Order of Bass Drinkers) visited on the afternoon of Sunday 7th as part of our annual pilgrimage to Burton. The welcome from locals and staff alike was tip-top and the Bass was on great form. I'm not in the pic, as I took it, and we'll be back next year. Fanx

Great pub, with a fantastic pub quiz on a Thursday.

Great welcome, Bass was incredible. Staff were brilliant and brought water for our dogs.

Spot on Staff are friendly and the food is well cooked and plentiful. The place has plenty of car parking and toilets are really clean

Fantastic place, Ashleigh was wonderful and I can't wait to go back

Friendly lovely staff, great food and beer

Lovely, generous sized, well priced lunch. Despite arriving at same time as a large group service was still friendly and efficient. Dog friendly in the bar area too is an added benefit for us too.

Very friendly, service was excellent and the food was amazing, can't beat home made chips 😋

Fabulous meals at The Blacksmiths today. Both carvery and main menu were a big hit. And REAL chips. We were made to feel really welcome. Definitely 5 star

Excellent service and good pint of Bass, food was very good to especially the chips.

Saw picture of a Sunday dinner on face, which looked lovely. Having booked at table their hospitality didn't disappoint, also the carvery was excellent; compliments to the chef. We look forward to tasting your food again in the future! 👍

Excellent Christmas menu, recommend any day

What a great local pub. Very friendly atmosphere and staff. Its was recommended to me and I am pleased I visited. Definately worth a visit.

Great glass of beer Lovely food and great staff

Brilliant evening with a good band

Great pub with great weekly entertainment

Lovely meal good service friendly staff

Enjoyed for a quiet drink near my hotel.

What a flavoursome, Sunday carvery we had today. Sublime! Staff are wonderful. Great pint of Bass bitter. Service is faultless. Lovely Pub and great value for money. Thank you.

Yet another fantastic Sunday carvery, Maria has excelled herself this week and Rachel on the bar was very attentive and checked on us to see how we were.

Always a warm reception, with lovely food and great staff.

Went for Sunday carvery to meet up with family who live down south, there were 8 of us. The staff were very accommodating, we even got table service being such a big group. The cook did a fantastic job of helping my son choose what to have and bar staff very friendly

Nice friendly local pub. Seating round the back

Lovely food and friendly staff. My first visit here and it won't be my last

Lovely place, a warm welcome, friendly and helpful staff, and the food is delicious

It was our first time there, and everyone was so friendly, and the bar staff made us so welcome, definitely use this pub again

Sad really. Visited for the first time in a while. Hubby cut his hand on bar. Staple sticking out. Not a massive issue but guy serving us rude and dismissive. Really didn't feel welcome.

We found ourselves at the Blacksmiths as we were making our way to York. In need of sustenance and not wanting the typical A38 offerings we diverted and we are so glad we did. Despite the kitchen not being open usually on a Monday the team went above and beyond and we continued our journey with bellies full of delicious food and refreshing beverages. Lovely place, lovely food and a wonderful team. Thank you.

Had a relaxed lunch with a friend here. Service was exceptionally quick, but still didn't lack friendliness. Food was lush. Steak melt on ciabata & chips... Yum. Steak cooked perfectly to my liking. Chips were delicious! We did have a pudding too. Shared a brownie & sticky toffee pudding. Both very nice. Washed down with a tea! We weren't rushed. Definitely want to go back.

First time, friendly team and good food for the money!

Great with live band, good atmosphere fantastic staff 👏

Great place .Nice and clean food was excellent we didn't book but I would next time .staff very helpful and friendly. We'll worth a visit

Had a really nice meal with my daughter and her husband and grandkids.

Good place to family time out Halloween disco food drink ok go again

Ordered adults scampi and chips and when it came 5 pieces of scampi on the plate, I asked is this a kids portion they said no

Came here yesterday for the carvery with my partner and daughter. We were greeted by friendly bar staff,we ordered drinks and were shown to our seats. I chose beef which was melt in your mouth delicious and partner and daughter had Turkey, pork was also an option. We had plenty of meat,home made Yorkshire puddings,mash, roasties and good choice of veg. My daughter is very fussy with mash and usually leaves it as it doesn't taste like mine but she loved it and ate three big helpings of it. I particularly liked the cauliflower cheese with crispy top and the gravy just made a delicious meal even better. I definitely want their gravy recipe! Myself and partner were so full but our daughter managed a chocolate brownie for dessert which she thoroughly enjoyed. Partner said the guiness was a good pint. We will be returning soon and we definitely recommend this pub to everyone. Thank you!

Great welcome. Watch football and enjoyed the beer.

Always top service and great atmosphere

Really nice place. Food is great and well priced for what you get. Best of all, they sell little bags of pick'n'mix behind the bar!

Great friendly pub atmosphere, with good staff and the food was lovely, good value for the money.

Nice place but one of the Bar Tenders thinks that when you're talking about the drinks you want that means you want every one that comes out your mouth lmao.
