End of September me and my partner meet up in this place for the first time after a month separation. We was sitting in the garden watching the sunset together when I realised the lady serving at the counter was spaying on us behind the bushes for some reason. It was dark when she decided to walk all the way to the back garden, just to spy ot us, because she couldn't see us in the dark😁 Long story short, after few weeks me and my partner received a parking charge for using the car park which belongs to the pub. She was too busy to spy on us for 2 hours and had no time to tell us that the parking rules has changed recently. Never going back to this dodge place again!

We contacted Morag at the Blacksmiths to organise a finger buffet for a family gathering. Our gathering was organised in a quieter corner of the pub and a superb finger buffet was displayed. The food was easily identifiable for vegan/ vegetarians to chose and everything was of really good quality. All in all we were very pleased and both the food and the competent manner that the event was handled by the Blacksmiths. We will be back to try the evening food !

The Blacksmiths Arms has a lovely welcoming atmosphere. The lady behind the bar was very welcoming and we were served quickly. There is a lot planned for the pub and we are looking forward to going back. There is a Sunday Roast. We had our dog with us and she wad made welcome and we were asked if she needed water Thank you for a lovely drink and we will be back. There is also a lovely garden, but sadly it was raining so we couldn't take her out there.

My husband and I stopped in here for lunch. When we entered, the server behind the bar was leaning against the register and just stared at us with a look that conveyed disinterest and something like contempt. There was no greeting. It was truly an uncomfortable & weird vibe. My husband proceeded to ask if they were serving lunch. She nodded but did not move from her perch. So he asked if we could see the menu. She took our order and we went outside to eat on the nice patio while commenting on how unpleasant that had just been. Honestly, her 'angry vibe' was that intense, The food arrived quickly but unfortunately it also was not good. I ordered fish and chips and couldn't eat the fish because it had such a strong fishy taste that it was unpleasant. I was also concerned that it might signal the fish was not fresh. My husband couldn't believe it could be that bad so he tasted it and agreed with me. The mushy peas and chips were good though. My husband had a bacon & Brie ciabatta which was ok but he couldn't taste the Brie which seemed odd since Brie has such a strong, distinctive flavor. So that made us wonder if they actually used Brie. All in all, we enjoyed sitting on the patio picking at the parts of our meal that were ok and just being together for a rare lunchtime out. But given the number of pubs in the area to choose from, we will never go back there again. We were so bummed to have picked this pub. Oddly, when we left there were 2 men at the bar talking to the server and she smiled and thanked us. We left thinking one of those men must have been her boss.

We stopped by at about 5pm, the pub was very quiet, we bought drinks and asked for the menus. Under the starters and sharers section was listed ploughman’s for 2 and seeing as it was such a lovely day we chose this to share whilst enjoying a drink in the garden (which could be lovely with a little tlc) but we were told that they didn’t do this in the evening! Really! Why not! Ridiculous! So we took our business elsewhere

O dear, o dear. Visited this pub and was disappointed. To be very fair, the food was excellent but generally the pub looks tired and unloved. The seats old, dirty and some are held together with masking tape. Dead flys in the window sills and the most filthy door I have ever seen leading to the gents. I assume that the group sat at the bar are locals, the language was disgusting especially when there are youngsters present in the bar area. Not a pleasant experience.

I was waiting for my Wife, who was on a hospital appointment and thought I'd while away some time in the Blacksmiths Arms whilst waiting for her. The friendly Manager allowed me in early and was very pleasant. I though his flexibility was a credit to him, which I very much appreciated. Very pleasant atmosphere and clean. Great ale, I had Proper Job. All in all, faultless!

Arrived and waited for barman to appear - eventually a local called him - very scruffy sniffing and kept wiping his nose on his sleeve. Ordered a bottle of wine and in the hour or so we were there he appeared 3 times each time after a local called him for a drink- never checked if we were ok - we finished our wine and my wife said are we having another- I suggested she had a cigarette and if he appeared I would order and if not we would leave - needless to say he didn’t appear so we left - as an aside must have been 25 empty glasses on the bar tables etc when you had 7 customers including us. Not normally one to complain wine was fine and price ok but I don’t think I have ever been in a pub where the barman was so lazy - just got home and wrote this 20 minutes after leaving the pub 7Pm Monday 12/02/24

Visited here and it was very quiet. We managed to get to a table and order drinks straightaway. It didn't take too long for food to be ordered or turn up. We all got the Smoked Cheese Burger and it was nice. The only downside was that it didn't have the strongest flavour and the chips were a bit soggy. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and the service was good.

Good size beer garden if the sun ever makes an appearance. Well worth visiting. So that was 2 years ago: doesn't time fly! Been back on several occasions and still a great place to eat and drink.

Awful food, deplorable service, Manager in a filthy T-shirt, and completely unprepared to manage a polite complaint. A quiet lunch, we visited at 12.30. Fish and chips arrived with a chicken burger, although the order was for a bacon cheeseburger. Fish cooked in old oil, and tartare sauce had coleslaw mixed in. Cutlery arrived after asking around 5 mins after the food delivered. Burger was reordered and chicken burger sent back - new burger delivered ca 15 mins later minus bacon. We asked for mayo and ketchup with took another 10 mins. We asked to see the manager and we’re told they would call him in a minute. 10 minutes later Manager arrived and simply said he would take the burger off the bill- no apology. We paid and left. I asked for the owners name on leaving and was given a number that was incomplete - so I called again from home and was told to phone back and speak to him tomorrow. I said I would expect the owner Adam to call me back. Such businesses shouldn’t be in business.

Booked table for 8, Sunday menu, website says free dessert if you book 12pm and bouncy castle for all to use in garden. Arrived sat in garden our young children went on the bouncy castle only to be told by a woman that they couldn't go on the bouncy castle as it was booked for her children's party! Try telling a 3 Yr old and 8yr old that! Ordered food only to be told website was wrong and no free dessert, but then the chef said he would honour the website. Positives Nice roast. Negatives Chairs tables outside need replacing dangerous falling apart, lots of rubbish in grass cutlery napkins etc. Ashtrays not emptied. In need of refurbishment. You need to update your website.

Came here for an impromptu Sunday dinner. Had a table in the garden, the table was a mess and we tidied it ourselves. Asked for a high chair and was presented with one that was dirty. We all ordered a roast and the portions were meagre. 1 piece of broccoli each and 2 small slices of meat per person. I brought this to their attention and they just said that was the way it is and that they have never had a complaint before. Customer service was terrible. They did offer us more vegetables but they never arrived. Would not recommend. Plenty of pubs for a nice Sunday roast nearby, go somewhere else. Felt sorry for the staff that were very very young.

Terrible dinner, laughable. Horrid brisket and onion pie, lumpy mash, terrible veg. Food is DEFINITELY microwaved. When asked how everything was after the meal we said not great, person didn't care for our feedback. Why do a pub up with nice furniture etc and offer shocking food ? At least hire a decent chef to contrast the decent look of the pub, would be better for business I guess. Do not recommend this place unfortunately if you want a nice meal, also we were NOT told about having to book the festive menu when we booked the meal so had to be lumbered with the microwave meals we received. I'm sure it isn't too much effort to give us a festive menu, we were told "you didn't book the festive menu so you won't get the festive menu" not that hard to cook some turkey or whatever it is on your festive menu guys ! Not good at all considering we were expecting to have a roast at least, hence the reason for our booking. DO NOT RECOMMEND !!

Haven't been here for years. Just a quick stop off while I waited for a relative in hospital. Walked into the most gorgeous smell of food. Would like to try in the future. Bar was a little empty but for some regulars ,I imagined. Dog friendly as 2 dogs were behaving well with their owner. No dog smell was apparent. Went to the garden at the back and was totally blown away by the expanse of it. Shaded by mature trees with rattan furniture dotted here and there and cushions for comfort. It was so tranquil and cool on such a hot day. Could have stayed all day. Would definitely return if I get the chance. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Just round the corner from the large Tesco . Oh and I must mention the very lovely bar lady who was so sweet and efficient. Lovely time had 👍👍

From the outside it looks nice but not overly inviting, however, we were so glad we went in. The staff were very friendly, service was great and the beer garden was amazing! So big with plenty of comfy seating. The toilets were clean and they had a baby changing table which is always a welcome relief. We stopped here for a couple of drinks and a bit of lunch, my only criticism would be that the dish off the children's menu had a lot of salt on it - a bit too much even for us adults! Other than this everything was great. There was a young boy serving and clearing and he was so polite and lovely! I have recommended this place to a few friends and family and we shall definitely be back : )

I booked a table for six for my family. I'd had a family Christmas meal here which had been fine so was expecting a good pub meal. The service was very poor and the young men serving we're so miserable, very unusual in a pub environment. The food was also poor - a few of us ordered salad which basically was a packet of mixed leaves thrown onto the plate, covered with dressing and some Cajun chicken on top. The presentation was zero. £14 for that! We waited so long for the puddings to be served we gave up and headed home. I was embarrassed to have chosen this pub. We normally tip very well as a family but only for good service and food. Sadly not this time. They may have been very busy in garden but certainly not inside the pub. There was a youngster collecting plates and he at least did have a smile.

We decided to try somewhere new in the local area. Initial greeting and service was fine. Ordered starters inc. 2 camemberts and a salmon main. 5 mins later we were informed these weren't available along with a load of other items. Why we weren't informed about what was unavailable when we arrived, we don't know. So 2 alternatives for starters were ordered inc. 1 brie. We specifically asked if this could be served unbreaded but rather than being told it couldn't, it was delivered breaded, so we sent it back. There was no apology and no one came to ask if we wanted any alternative. Very very poor customer service. To add insult to injury, we were charged for 4 starters as it was 'cheaper' than charging us for 3....they should have at least offered an alternative or a proper pro-rata refund - just an apology would have been nice!! We had to order our drinks at the bar as there was no one serving at the tables, and had to ask for ketchup as no condiments were offered. Very chewy mussels, clearly over cooked or left over from previous day, batter on fish was soggy, burger was way way too salty but was eaten anyway as starter had been rejected due to service mistake. Needless to say, we'll be sticking to the much better pub just down the road.

Bed was comfy. Staff was terrific. Friendly and accommodating. The place is kept clean. A bit noisy when they have an event. Food is okay. Not great. The staff makes up for the food.

The Five Bells Pub has excellent food. We are lucky to have them right at our doorstep. We are regulars to it and the staff are amazing people. We always book the table close to the fireplace :)
