The Blacksmiths Arms Inn in Scarborough

My wife had sea bass and I had lamb the meals where very good and good valve . Loverly sitting in the lounge bar . The pudding where nice good old jam sponge something down to earth.

Dropped in on way to Whitby for lunch. Absolutely superb! Lovely Pub with fantastic food and service. We will be back when next in the area.

What a lovely pub hotel this is staff are very friendly food is lovely and the host are lovely as well hotel rooms are lovely and clean it's a bit out of way for me but if you like a lovely traditional English pub hotel would not hesitate in coming back

Fantastic find. Lovely Sunday lunch of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding Had the mushroom soup to start. Dog friendly and such a warm atmosphere Will be going back

Having been several times before we were very disappointed. Sunday roast was good bar the frozen Yorkshire puddings but the spinach and ricotta tortellini was dreadful. Shop bought pasta with the cauliflower cheese sauce from Sunday roast on. If I hadn’t been with family I’d have sent it back. Fish and chips were good. Fairly sure the tiramisu was shop bought and scooped out as a mess in our bowl with canned squirts cream, same for the trifle that was swimming in liquid. Staff were lovely but this was disappointing as always had great meals there before.

Spotless, a great welcome, cosy - and a good selection of drinks. Unique in that:- A. I’ve literally never seen a Barnsley Chop on a pub menu, B. (apparently) the only place the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip had a pub meal and C. surely the only place on the planet that played (one of my absolute favourite songs ever, by the way ) Imagine by ‘Belouis Some’ seven times back to back as the background music. Excellent service, proper veg and decent chips. PS the Barnsley Chop was great.

What a fantastic find. The food was absolutely delicious, I had the steak which melted in my mouth. Dog friendly in the bar area, which was lovely. Helpful and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend

We visited this pub twice while staying in the area, the man behind the bar was so friendly and welcoming and we felt at home there.. food was amazing and did not have to wait long.. great pub will definitely come back 😊👍

Our in laws were staying here for a couple of nights (they said accommodation was very nice). We joined them on the Sunday for lunch. The lunch was excellent - steak pie was great. Desserts also excellent. Good pricing. Would highly recommend. They were great at staggering the courses as well as we had a 1 year old to entertain so avoids food getting cold for 1 of us.

Cannot praise our Sunday lunch enough.Everything on our plate and in the tureen was perfectly cooked and so very tasty,from the fantastic Yorkshire puddings and succulent roast beef, which was already on our plate along with roast potatoes and creamed potatoes,to the ample supply of vegetables in the tureen. The chef most definitely knows how to cook a delicious meal.Would recommend to anybody! The staff are so friendly and welcoming.

Stayed 2 nights, Friday and Saturday for bed and breakfast. Lovely room, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Staff lovely and friendly. Will definately stay again.

Not a lot to say really - great food, comfy dining area and lovely staff. Been twice during our week long stay because the food was so good.

We are here twice, lots of history. Food was varied and tasty, well priced and served with a smile. Landlord was welcoming and there was a great atmosphere at wednesdays Quiz night in and of St Catherine's hospice. Would highly reccomend

We visited the Blacksmiths Arms Inn as it was very close to our holiday cottage. We had an excellent time and the staff work exceptionally hard. They were very friendly and the food was fantastic. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again!

Booked here for an evening meal as we were 5 minutes walk away from our holiday cottage. We had starters- yorkshire pudding with gravy, soup & prawn cocktail and mains- lamb, chicken, steak pie & burger, which we all enjoyed. The staff made us all very welcome

This is the food review of our stay. We had an early tea time meal as we had to get to a gig in Scarborough. My wife had goats cheese with cranberry sauce and a side salad. I have gammon and egg, with a joint serving of chips. The goats cheese was lovely and 2 big chunks she couldn’t finish. The gammon was well cooked as was the egg. The chips were decent too. I had the rest of the goats cheese and it was very nice. All in all pretty good food and it did seem a popular place for food.

I stayed at this lovely country pub whilst attending a wedding in a nearby location. Prior to visiting I did a bit of homework and found this to be suitable for myself, husband and 3 family members. Having parked our car on-site behind the pub we were greeted by the lovely friendly landlord who confirmed our room and breakfast times etc… Upon reaching our room ( just a point rooms are accessed by stairs only in the main building) but out the back of the pub there is a small annexe of rooms which I would say are more accessible! Upon entering the room we had lovely fluffy towels, small selection of toiletries and plenty tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Room was clean and tidy with plenty of drawers and hanging space - albeit we were only there one night. As we were all attending a wedding I couldn’t comment on the pub meals but from what I saw upon arrival they looked good. Breakfast the following morning was excellent and lots of choice from Full English, Beans on Toast, Selection of Egg choices Cereal, Fruit and plenty drinks. All served by friendly attentive staff. This is certainly a place I would recommend to anyone passing through or wanting to stay on the edge of Scarborough.

We had a lovely evening, staff very pleasant, friendly and accommodating. The meal was really delicious and Covid safe. App or sign in, hand sanitiser, plenty of space to park and nice area to sit outside. Enjoyable last evening in Yorkshire.

I visited the Blacksmiths arms 2 days ago , been reading lots of revues , I really can’t understand some of the comments , some of which are totally untrue , however everyone is entitled to there opinion , on arrival I was greeted by a very pleasant gentleman (Tony) , he was wearing a face covering . Immediately as you walk through the car park entrance door there is a hand sanitiser station as well as a place to sign in or scan your app , there are other hand sanitiser stations throughout the building . The rooms are very comfortable , nice bedroom with en-suite , flat screen TV also included . Now onto the food , we had steak with peppercorn sauce , to be honest , that was the best steak I’ve ever eaten , as for the sauce , I hope he will reply to this post with the recipe ( absolutely gorgeous ) , my mouth is actually watering as I write this revue . I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for gorgeous food and a quiet enjoyable evening . I’ll be back before our summer ends

We spent 4 nights in Whitby and toured the area , our friends had been telling us of the fantastic Sunday lunch they had two years ago . we were pleased to find the pub had survied

A very well run cosy Inn superbly managed by the Landlord and owner, Tony. The staff are friendly and the food is very good with a varied menu. Breakfast is very well presented. Highly recommend

Wow unbelievable.No track and traceStaff no masksCustomers being served at bar not table serviceCustomers not warning masksNo signageEtc etc etc No wonder pubs get a bad name and this is why we won't be coming out of lockdown They need to sort there act out

We stayed the night at this property. Food was excellent as was the service. Went the extra mile by finding us cheese and biscuits for pudding.

We visited here when on holiday in Ravenscar, nice restaurant with pleasant staff. The salmon was very nice and my wife enjoyed the goats cheese. Maybe the veggie options could be expanded a little. Nice evening out.

Service was great but nobody wearing masks didn’t see anybody disinfecting tables or menus, felt very uncomfortable, the food was ok nothing fantastic, quite disappointed

Brilliant country Inn, good food, great wine and beer. Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable rooms with good facilities. Great few days, relaxing in a peaceful area. Excellent location for Scarborough and Whitby, by car. We will definitely return.

Excellent food well presented Very accomodating the staff were very helpful and approachable. The prices were very reasonable. Would certainly recommend and we will return to eat here again. Thank you for a thoroughly pleasant evening.

Arrived to a friendly welcome, our room was lovely,clean,bright and a good size. Had tea in the bar , good service and the food was hot and delicious. Breakfast next morning was the same. A pleasant night away in a no frills pub but nice enough .would definitely recommend .

We treated ourselves to a night away inbetween Christmas and New year. Been to this Pub/ Restaurant last time we were down Scarborough. It's a good idea to book in advance. Not a massive menu but a good selection . The food was first class. lovely atmosphere first class service. Definitely on our return list.

16 of us descended on this beautifully quaint pub for a walking weekend. Apart from the weather which brightened up the day we left, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rooms were very clean with a good sized bath & shower over and comfy beds. The food was excellent and we were particularly impressed that all our meals were served together and were piping hot. All staff were very attentive particularly Tori (aka Tom/Cinderella!), her Mum and Tony. The locals we met were very friendly and enjoyed a chat which added to the weekend. We would highly recommend.

We had the most delicious lamb cutlets here. Their dining area is lovely, staff and service excellent. I would definitely go back here again.

I recently attended due to a family funeral, it was such a lovely accommodating pub, the staff were all friendly and the food was absolutely gorgeous. The quiche was the best quiche I have ever had. Thank you for making an upsetting day better.

Called in after a long drive to a holiday home and walk along the disused railway whilst they are dog friendly in the bar we chose to sit outside as it was a pleasant evening.Decent choice of typical pub fayre on the menu and we settled for the mushrooms in a garlic cream sauce and whitebait for starters which were tasty followed by a Barnsley chop and steak pie which again were fine although the pie crust (shortcrust was a bit soggy).Service was very good and we enjoyed the meal

Booked a table here after looking at the many positive reviews. As we were staying in Bridlington it was about an hours drive to get there. We where quickly shown to our table in the dining room by the friendly staff and quickly received our drinks (2 glasses of wine). Got to the menu and found it a little limited in range of dishes, but there were all the pub classics. A range of specials were available as well. We ordered and soon got our food which was good and wholesome. Overall while we had no complaints we were slightly disappointing with the experience. Because of the distance to get to doubt we will use again.

Landlord and staff friendly, more of a Local, locals very nice, Good beer, Great food, (had sweet and sour prawns ( brilliant) My partner pointed out after we left they had pic of queen in bar, so not a place I would return to personally ( that only reason)

We zijn hier 2 dagen geweest om de omgeving te verkennen. Het is een charmant, gezellig, oud hotel / restaurant / pub. Heel proper!Lieve en vriendelijke mensen.Ze zijn hier zeer gastvrij.Perfect ontbijt.We hadden een mooie grote kamer met genoeg kasten (vind ik belangrijk).Alleen de douche was niet zo gemakkelijk te gebruiken dus heb ik liever een lekker bad genomen.Zeker gaan zien: Robin Hood's bay en Whitsby!!

This was our first visit this year as we have just opened the caravan after the winter. The meal we had was exceptional, complements to the chef. We will of course be visiting many more times in the coming months. Keep it up.

Recently celebrated my 70th Birthday with Family and Friends.The Evening was fantastic and was all down to the excellent food and service from the staff.Cannot recommend the Blacksmiths Arms highly enough.Many thanks to the management and staff for making it a special memorable occasion.

Seen some great reviews on this place. Unfortunately on our visit we were left very disappointed. One of the members of staff didn't seem to know what she was doing. Meal was a bit tasteless. Service was poor to say the best . When we finally got our meal it was ok at best . Would i come back again. NO

this was our first visit to the Blacksmiths Arms for many years and it definitely won't be years until we return. the service was fast and friendly the food could not be faulted and the overall experience was excellent.

lovely and friendly pub and people, food is excellent..couldnt do any more for you. sat by the log fire it was wonderful

Stayed here multiple times, but this was a special occasion with friends and family, many thanks to Tony and all the staff for making our stay brilliant . Thankyou for your hospitality and dawn for the beautiful flowers. If you’re looking for a place to stay with great food and comfortable accommodation then look no further than the blacksmiths inn at cloughton. See you all soon.

Popped in to pass a bit time until our lodge was ready, family with 3 young kids. Don’t think the owner was too pleased but we drank quickly and left.

My husband and I stayed for two nights at the Blacksmith's Arms as part of a wedding party who were having their reception there. We had asked for a quiet room and avoiding steps as I had recently had a hip operation. They allocated us one of the converted stables which proved to be exactly what we wanted. We were greeted by the friendly landlord (I think his name was Tony) who told us if there was anything we needed to just ask. We had booked for an evening meal and we were very presently surprised by the choices. I had the steak and my husband had the horseshoe gammon. Both were cooked to perfection. The dessert choices were also excellent. We both went for the meringue with mince pie icecream, delicious! Breakfast on both days was more than enough to set a person up for the day, with choices from the full english to boiled eggs. There was also cereal, fruit juice, fresh fruit, yogurts, toast. The staff were fantastic and throughout the wedding reception couldn't do enough for their guests and of course the happy couple. I have never stayed in this Inn before but I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling in the area.

We went to the Blacksmiths Arms on Bonfire Night booked in for a meal at 6pm. It’s a pleasant country inn, we had not been there for years.

My partner and I had an excellent meal here whilst we were staying in Cloughton. It was a Monday night and we arrived early so it was very quiet and the service was good. We both chose the specials; the food was really delicious, reasonably priced and the portions very generous!

We enjoyed our meals here very much on 6th September. My husband had steak pie with short crust pastry, chips,&seasonal; veg. So did our friend Martin, I had horseshoe gammon chipc, pineapple, peas, tomatoes,&mushrooms.; Our food was realy tasty and moorish but unfortunately we couldn't eat desert! The staff were really friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return next year.

My husband booked this weekend away for me as a surprise. Him and his family have been coming to Scarborough for years. Arrived on Sunday and we had booked into the restaurant for our evening meal. I had garlic mushrooms and lemon chicken. As soon as we had finished our meal I knew that I had an upset stomach. We went back to our room and I went straight to bed. During the night I was woken as I had to be sick. When we went to check out we advised the gentleman (think his name was Tony) of our concerns about the food and he said he would speak to the chef and get back to us. My husband had paid for the meal the previous evening so we settled the room rate and left We have never heard from the Inn since Monday. We have not been offered an explanation or refund. What should have been a lovely weekend away was ruined due to an upset stomach and lack of sleep. We planned to take advantage of the nice weather on Monday and explore Scarborough but our plans were spoiled.

We second the observation of a previous reviewer, who states that they could not find the way in. Also, the car-park is weird, with the entrance marked as "no exit" - fair enough as the pub is right on a bend in the road - but absolutely no way/signs to figure out how to leave. In the end we went out the "in" and took a chance on the bend!

I booked a few rooms here for myself and a group of friends. I booked the rooms via booking.com. The staff were very friendly, the check in process was simple and the food was delicious.

Walking the Cleveland Way we stayed at Cloughton Station B&B; for the night and had a meal at the Blacksmiths Arms. Food lovely, sea bream excellent, waitress attentive, all good except for a horrid man in the bar who told me in a very loud voice to move because he couldn’t see the TV (World Cup). No please, thank you or sorry. There was nowhere else for me to stand as the bar was packed. Suggest the pub marks it's doors better as we couldn’t decide where to enter and walked all round trying doors, we didn’t want the bar but it was the first door we found open! Man in bar totally lacking in the famous Yorkshire hospitality.

We called here for lunch. It is a lovely old pub with good parking. We opted for the 2 courses for £10.95. The Goat's Cheese with Chutney was delicious, as were the Garlic Mushrooms. The portions were generous and attractively presented. However I was disappointed with my fish gougons which, unfortunately were dry and over done and the chips were also too brown for my taste. I wish I had ordered the Yorkshire Ham, Egg and Chips which looked much more appetising. The service was prompt and pleasant and the restaurant has a cosy olde world ambience with lots of quirky touches. Not sure about the plaques with what appeared to be preserved dogs' paws though.

Given it is World Cup fever time, I was fed up only a few days in being subjected to football every night upon arrival home from work - only to be pleasantly surprised by my husband offering to take me out for a bar meal mid week.

We Booked in here for a Sunday lunch for me, my wife, my 5 month old son and my father. On booking over the phone I found the staff to be very accommodating as we wanted a table for 1pm but they didn’t have a sitting until 1:45 but booked us in for 1:30 which was fair enough. We did however arrive at 1:15 after our walk along the railway line. This was not a problem and our table was ready along with space for our Pram as requested on the phone.

We had an overnight stay at the Blacksmiths on Thursday. The breakfast was very good with plenty of staff on hand. The evening meal was OK but only one member of staff on and a full restaurant, and the wait between courses was a bit long. The room was comfortable with most mod cons to hand. But if you are a poor sleeper, as I am, don't have room 6 as the traffic noise at the front is awful. Plus the shower in the room was terrible, we couldn't adjust the temperature and the hot water scalded my finger in trying to balance it.

A welcome return to the Blacksmiths Arms in Feb 2018. With temperatures falling to -10degrees it was still a worthwhile journey to encounter a good Yorkshire welcome,with bar service from Paul. Pint of Ramstackle felt smooth .Bountiful choice from the menu & associated specials. The bar side was busy so we ventured to the restaurant which had delightful settings nicely illuminated with good wine selection. Succulent Trio of lamb cutlets for my wife and delicious sirloin with stilton sauce & hand made chips for me with trimmings. We shall return after a few coastal walks with the current challenge of the ‘beast from the east’ weathe factor !

Wow what a gem of a place this is. This place is by far best place to eat in Scarborough. We came across this beauty of a place whilst going for a little drive outside of Scarborough as we are new to the area. So we took a chance to see if any tables were available for Sunday lunch. Luck had they had availability. We sat near the open fire and it was so cosy. Once we were seated we then placed our drink order at the bar and the staff were extremely friendly. I can be a fussy eater at times so i had fingers crossed all would be good here. I opted for the roast beef and hubby opted for a veggie option for a change. Blimey where do i start...the food was beautiful. The meat just melted in your mouth, the gravy was to die for and the home made yorkshire puds were fantastic. The veg selection they brought out too was cooked to perfection. I totally wiped my plate clean. If nobody had of been watching i would have licked my plate lol . The waitress then brought over the dessert board...oh god where do i start? wished i could have had a spoon of each dish. I chose the Panna cotta and hubby did too. Well it was the best one we have ever tasted. So after a beautiful Sunday lunch we were both happy and content and just could not move as we was totally stuffed.

The food itself was genuinely excellent, and well worth a five star rating for its quality versus price. I had the cottage pie special one night, and this was a step up from a bog standard one, very tasty.

We had visited Scarborough 15 years ago and wanted to return but not stay in the heart of the town. So,we,settled,on The Blacksmiths Arms,in Cloughton which is only a five minute drive from the town and beaches. Tony and his team are marvellous, so welcoming and genuine. The food was gorgeous so much so that we ate at the pub on all three nights of our stay. We had a four poster room which was very comfortable. A good base for the Scarborough/Whitby area.

Hemos visitado el Herrero regularmente por muchos años y siempre he tenido la oportunidad de comer mientras estábamos allí. Las comidas son preciosas e incluso ir allí para nuestro almuerzo de Navidad con Tony y el equipo haciendo el día más especial.

Booked this through, booking .com so they didn't receive this information until after we arrived, so good job they had a room, nice warm and welcoming atmosphere, great food, fab breakfast, could of done with some heating on as chilling in the room on the evening other then that all ok .

Elegimos este hotel porque estaba cerca de la Bahía de Robin hoods, donde al día siguiente estábamos a mí amigos y luego en coche por los caminos menos conocidos de Ulswater. El aparcamiento era buena, una buena estrellas, y la bienvenida, cálido y amable. Y la cena, muy agradable, gran servicio, y camas cómodas. . Un gran lugar. . excelente comida. . .

Booked for dinner whilst staying in the area. Food was cooked beautifully, with good (quite traditional) menu options. Desserts were lovely. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Nice place to visit for a pub meal.

If the queen ate here I'm sure they wouldn't of served her frozen chips. The starter was really nice but the main course was served with frozen chips... bit of a let down.

Comida fantástica a un precio estupendo! Un entorno estupendo y el ambiente! En efecto, bien merece una visita. El personal era muy servicial y rápido servicio.

Went for lunch today. Could not fault the lovely home cooked meal. Plenty of it. Service good. I enjoyed the roast lamb my husband had the beef. I had home made White chocolate cheesecake he had sponge pudding. It was all nicely serviced. This is a very nice home cooked Sunday lunch at £10.50 for a main course. Can't complain.

Called in when passing and got a table in the bar. Very friendly service, decent food and good value.

Just stayed for one night but lovely rooms with a nice restaurant and good beer. Would recommend and would love to stay again.

We diverted to this pub, after cutting a coastal walk short and were very pleased that we did. Whilst we only needed a snack the food was delicious and of high quality, especially my prawn sandwich. My husband did succumb to the homemade steak pie, which was equally delicious; I was envious! Sadly I no longer live locally, but will be visiting here again, on my regular trips, 'back home'.

Old world charm lovely food, nice staff, easy to park, good value. I had steak pie that was good and the vegetables were nicely cooked.

A unique one word summary just for our meal at the Blacksmiths Arms Inn- MIRUS ; meaning wonderful. Thank you to Paul the barman. True Yorkshire hospitality, a 'no rush' professional service delivery; good selection of ales, Haddock special was a fresh delight, sea bass fillets awesome and for pudding ....coconut cream pie with a dash of vanilla ice cream was truly scrumptious ! A real benchmark has been set.

Staff friendly and very accommodating with children. Good selection of food, hot and plentiful. Recommended highly.

Went there for Sunday lunch and was disappointed with the lunch the meat was lambAnd that was OK but the veg with the lunch was left wanting a small portion of peas and swede and just 2 small roast potatoes and for 10 pounds for a Sunday lunch a pricey for what you got more like a child portion better places in scarborough for a Sunday lunch very disappointing would not recommend

First time here exellent service very good food more than enough very good size portions,c ant wait to return

Good menu choice and excellent food. Sea bass and salmon were delicious. Lemon meringue pie very good.

My wife and I ate at the Blacksmiths Arms Inn as we were staying at the establishment. We both had Sea Bass and it was cooked beautifully. It was NOT deal fried so the taste and texture of the fish came through. We were truly impressed with the quality of this meal.The staff were friendly, and so were the locals. We enjoyed a great conversation with other diners - a truly friendly pub.

Ate 2 nights in a row after being recommended by our B&B. A short drive out of Scarborough. Well worth a visit. You can eat in the bar or restaurant. Huge portion sizes. Great variety. Lovely atmosphere.

We came here today just driving by and looked lovely so we went in we was not disappointed in any way. The tables looked lovely with real white table cloths and beautifully laid out. We ordered the 3 course lunch at £16.95 was superb we both started with a lovely prawn cocktail served on a slate with buttered bread and lemon slice was very very good there was also a good selection of starters. For main I had beef my wife chicken served with Yorkshire pudding roast potatoes and a selection of vegetables including new potatoes which were outstanding. Although we were both full at this point the deserts looked outstanding and they were tiramisu and peach melba both totally outstanding. This pub is amazing and will come back another time when we up this way. Very very impressive.

Very nice pub/Restaurant and accommodation set in a quiet little villageThe food is extremely good and the price will not break the bank I would recommend advance booking for meals on a weekend and bank holiday.

Enjoyed our meal here - we were fortunate to get the last table as we hadn't booked. Service was good, food tasty and portions generous.

Easy access for Whitby and Pickering. Hotel staff all nice and friendly. Our room was over priced but was the last one, nothing wrong with the room it was nice just over priced. If had paid for one of the other more reasonable priced rooms though we would have been more than happy. It is a nice pub hotel.

We stayed for 2 nights here and the place was first class. The room was large and well decorated but what made it outstanding was the evening meals and the friendliness of the staff. The meals were good quality pub food which would be hard to beat anywhere. All set in a cozy atmosphere. We will defintly go again when we are visiting the area.

what a lovely pub great asmosphere friendly people great bar staff nice rooms good food and the locals make you welcome so easy to get to Whitby or scarborough from the pub

We stumbled upon this lovely old pub and were certainly glad we did as the food on offer was of a higher standard then the usual 'pub grub'. The family run business offered a diverse menu and after we had all eaten starters we were simply unable to try the attractive desert menu! Great service also and my in-laws, who live locally, have pencilled in a return

Okay - so we're a bit biased because we live only a short walk away from this lovely pub - all the more reason to review it however, because it's often the case that you only bother to write about the trips further afield rather than the treasure that's on your own doorstep.And this place deserves a good review because it's everything a good British pub should be: cosy with welcoming hosts and staff; hearty delicious food and a really friendly atmosphere among the diners which often leads to fun conversations between tables!When we first moved in to the village this place proved to be a lifesaver - we couldn't get through the packing cases into our new kitchen for three nights, so we trotted down the lane and partook of the local hospitality. I'm so pleased we did because it was a great opportunity to introduce ourselves and get to know our hosts and some of the locals.We've been half a dozen or so times since and brought friends with us on occasions - we've never had a 'duff' dish or anything other than a very pleasant, relaxed dining experience. Our favourite dish is the steak pie, served (as are all the dishes) with very nicely cooked vegetables and we also love the Whitby scampi. And the starters of smoked salmon. Oh and all the puddings too!!! We definitely did put on a few pounds that first week in the village :)Of course we recommend The Blacksmith's Arms to anyone who's looking for a great pub experience and if you're staying in the area do bear in mind they've got rooms too - so it's an ideal base from which to explore all that the East Coast has to offer.

Today 15 ladies ate at this establishment the overall opinion was very favourable REAL TABLE CLOTHES great the food was good and plentiful even with half sizes. Many pudding choices and Puddings were Price and plentiful. Yes we would go again but do be careful coming out of the carpark ask which is the best exit I did'nt

Called for Sunday lunch prior to our Holliday in harwood dale .our meal was very nice and not too pricy .staff very friendly could recommend .booking would be advisable on a Sunday as not much seating.also the hotel has bed&breakfast accomadation

We ate with friends who were staying at the pub. Managed to get a little table in the corner on a very busy Saturday night. I had scampi and chips which was ok, but the chips were not hand cut, which is a bit of a 'thing' with me. Enjoyed the evening though.

Cosy old fashioned pub good staff and traditional good food but not very exciting however enjoyed our visit and would go again

recently visited with my wife and two children ,food nice but sadly very poor veg and chips portions.we were offered more veg and also asked for more chips as we were only given a very small dish of each between four of us(4 slices of courgette 2 small new potatoes 1 small broccoli floret and a few slices of carrot).we got some more veg but the request for chips was ignored! we ordered two desserts from a blackboard received small portion of trifle and very small portion of coconut tart horrified to see we were charged £10.40 for them! poor value for money sadly not as good as when we visited previous years.

Wonderful venue and great service. The food was beautiful, the best meal I have eaten in a long time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Not the cheapest but the quality is worth it.

Lovely quality food, in a very nice location but the fly problem while eating has really put us off eating here now sadly. Having to waft them out the way while trying to eat was sadly very off putting.

Again me n my partner are trying new places to eat. We've always passed this Inn but never thought of going for lunch. We were mistaken.The place is beautiful with a real rustic atmosphere.We decided to sit near the fire (which wasn't on, but who would have it on its a hot day :D )The choices of meals where limited but they did offer a good choice of specials and desserts.I myself had the homemade burger which was massive (but it didn't come with chips) but I don't think you needed them as the burger was double the size and massive!!!!My partner had the special Guinness and steak pie wit assorted veg and chips. He seemed to enjoy it.We did have starters as well and they where beautiful ( grilled goats cheese and a soup)We didn't stop for the desserts as we where too full (and they where around £5.00)We both had 2 pints of coke ar 3.10 each which I thought was a bit steep but obviously it's more of a ale and beer pub!Overall I would visit again as the staff where really nice and the place was awesome

Went here for a family meal mid week. Welcoming staff and table ready for us. Personally I found the menu outdated and quite old fashioned. Unfortunately when we ordered our food we were told they had run out of quite a few selections. We made alternate choices, only then for the waitress to come back and tell us that our second choices were also out of stock. Food came within a reasonable amount of time and chips were really good. We had a vegan in our party who was very well catered for which was appreciated. Fair pub grub, but menu needs an over haul.

This is a great pub and restaurant and I have eaten here many times when staying at Cober Hill 5 mins walk away. The food is made fresh and is always served quickly and hot

Returning from watching a cricket match decided to stop here for an evening meal. Walked through the bar and into a lounge bar which was very busy. Manager was helpful and suggested we go into the restaurant, meal prices here were the same as the bar. Politely offered drinks which were taken into the restaurant. The main courses of fish were well cooked as was the steak crust pie. Staff were polite and attentive. Close enough to Scarborough to make this establishment a viable place to stay if you want little more class as part of your stay.

Very good value meal, very friendly staff and lovely décor. We enjoyed our meal and had a few pints afterwards.

The wedding meal we had here was beautiful first class .The tables were set out lovely staff friendly and looked after us well, nothing was too much trouble we were glad we chose here.would recommend to anyone .Thankyou blacksmiths

My wife and I both had meals from the specials board that night (great and varied choice) and neither of us were disappointed by our steaks. I have found that the food at the Blacksmiths Arms, be it in the bar or restaurant, has always to a high standard and good value for money. That together with attentive service and pleasant ambiance means that I would not hesitate to recommend this Pub for a visit (because of the popularity, if you are a party of 2+, I would recommend booking beforehand)

We booked a table for the night before our son’s wedding at nearby Raven Hall. We took a party of seven. We were very pleased with the welcome, the food, the service and the friendly way we in which we were treated. The grilled goat's cheese was delicious and well presented. Mains of sea bass and steak pie were much enjoyed. The crab salad was excellent. Akau Sauvignon Blanc at £17.95 and Solar Viejo Rioja at £18.50 were good value. In preparation of this special meal we visited a number of pubs in the area and found that the Blacksmith’s Arms offered the most varied menu, friendly service and most importantly good food! Cost was reasonable, including the two bottles of wine, some mineral water and two puddings the total without service was under £30 per head. Enjoy! (And at Black Sheep at £3.10 a pint it’s worth going early and staying late!)
