When for a meal on Saturday night, food was really great! I very rarely feel like you get value for money from a restaurant but this was great! Definitely go again. I had the Tapas - Chinese chicken, chorizo hash and chicken goujons. Thanks

Wow, the halloumi fries were delicious, i asked for them to be battered and they come hot and crispy the blake arms had no problem doing that. They are amazing, aswell the oreo milkshake was superb and nice and thick along with great amounts of flavour definitely will be buying again

The Blake has improved leaps and bounds since the new owners took over. The food is excellent the beer is too. There's often some kind of entertainment on and there's a bouncy castle outside in an enclosed bit so you can hoy the kids out there for a bit of quiet time with your partner. They've formed great links with the local community.They we're involved with the Seghill Gala and have recently dropped the silliness over parking which is a great help when visiting the Docs. Another recent idea was to start doing breakfasts which I'm sure will go down well with patrons. All in all a great little pub who's staff will bend over backwards to ensure you have a fantastic time there. Well worth a visit!.

Usually The Blake is really good, however, I ordered the Nachos, and other items for other people. They were ok. The Nachos though, when I opened them, there was only chilli beef and cheese (cheddar!!!). So I rang the pub, to ask where the salsa, and guacamole was, only to find out the kitchen were out of stock and didn’t bother ringing me to let me know. Consequently, the Nachos were really dry, and uninteresting! Really let down, cos they are usually spot on.

If I could give this place well the manager zero stars I would I’ve drank in there all my life and no problems until it was taken over and he was manager it’s seems a lot of people have had problems with him mainly women my son almost died after a night out in there outside the pub after drinking h there all night when a lad came in starting trouble which Dan done nothing about and my son was hit knocked out cold and hospitalised with a bleed on the brain since then myself and my son have been permanently barred when we for victims of a crime that was committed outside of theses premises the rest of the staff have been nothing but nice but there was complaints from the start with this guy absolute narcissist who gets pleasure from picking on women!

What a wonderful 5.5 hours we had at the Blake Arms! We came for lunch and stayed for the afternoon taking the opportunity for our kids to enjoy the special event activities on at the back with assault course, bouncy castle and face painting. The staff were wonderful and friendly, and the good was awesome! 10/10 and I'm already looking forward to my next return!

Me and my family just had a delicious Sunday lunch at the Blake. The food was such good value for money, adults and children all loved the food. The supersize giant Yorkshire pudding was great, and well worth the extra money… it was the size of a football. Well done to the chef and we’ll definitely be back.

Oh dear, there's nothing worse than a dry lasagne with burnt cheddar on top. I thought the first time may have been an oversight, but, apparently not. No bechamel sauce, just dry mince. Wasn't impressed with the tuna melt either. All dry and flavourless, sorry.

took my dad there as we had heard good things. we weren’t disappointed. the sunday lunch was amazing. i had trio of meats and my dad had beef and all the meats were all cooked perfectly. the veg was great too and lots of variety- peas, carrots, swede, mash, roasties, cauliflower cheese, cabbage, stuffing. my dad said it’s the best sunday dinner he has had out, which given that he is 75 is quite the compliment. was reasonably priced as well, especially considering we both cleared our plates! the team there were lovely too. will definitely be going back again!

Went here today as being recommended by a friend, we booked for 5 adults and 4 children. We are far from the fussy type and this is the first ever review we have written but felt we needed to. One of the trio dinners come without the collyflower cheese and we had found not 1 but 2 hairs in it. All the dinners were missing the stuffing, they did however bring a plate of some out. The Yorkshire puddings were all burnt to a crisp and even some of the reviews people are leaving on here you can see the Yorkshires are burnt. The play area in the back is dated and quite frankly dangerous for small children. Hate to say it but we shall not be returning and would not recommend to anyone else.

Drinks very reasonably priced. Would recommend chilli nachos serving is huge and has a great kick! Kids menu great aswell and the garden out back for kids is a big plus

Its a really lovely local pub. We were seen to by very friendly lady who was really helpful and polite. Food came really hot and fresh, tastes great and a big quantity. Too much for me to eat but a great size for my husband. The pub itself was clean and has a great outdoor space for the kids to play and be safe, with it fenced off. They have a wooden play frame and a bouncy castle which I know my kids will love. We've booked in again after testing to food out tonight, but for a Sunday lunch which we feel like we can bring our kids along for as I know they'll be happy being outside playing while we wait for food to come out. We very recently moved to the area and it's great that we have somewhere we can now walk to, that we both enjoyed. It's unusual for us both to leave full and both feeling pleased with our choices in meals. I had messaged on Facebook to ask times they did food beforehand and I got a response very quickly with all the information I'd asked for. The other really good thing is they offer kids eat for £1 during school holidays, which is a great help when things are so expensive these days. Think this will become our go to place for pub food. Thank you!

Lovely fresh Sunday lunch today. Nice to see the pub busy and wait time wasn't overly long. Table service if required or order at the bar. Tasty gravy if a little thin for our liking and burnt Yorkshire puds today. Lovely 4 veg with mashed and crispy roast potatoes. Disappointing I wasn't allowed to order a kid's meal, especially handy for those with poor appetite, illness or pregnant ladies etc. Small lunch was too big luckily we take Tupperware with us now.

We came in for food this evening with our 1.5 year old daughter. We were instantly made welcome, the service was fantastic, and there was a basket of toys for little ones to play with. We had a couple of tapas dishes which came out really quickly and tasted quite good, would definitely come back again. One of the downsides is a lack of accessable toilet or changing area for babies, but this is apparently going to change (they had to get rid of the existing table during the change in ownership since it was unsafe).

I visited the hotel only for a night due to a meeting I had to attend the following day in the town. The location of the hotel was perfect just opposite the train station and the person at the reception was very friendly. As I arrived just before 9 pm I questioned if the restaurant was still open in order to have some dinner but they informed me that restaurant closed at 19.30?! I thought it is too early and I had never experienced it in any other hotel. Once I joined the room there was a funny smell coming out from the bathroom and the room was super cold even though the heating was slightly on. Especially inside the bathroom I was freezing so I had to take a shower very quickly and jump inside the bed in order to warm up myself which isn’t very relaxing after hours of travelling. Lastly the following day even though my company’s reservation was breakfast included, in the morning I had been given the choice of complimentary breakfast only which was very very limited. Not even to mention that the check out was 10 am and the cleaners were speaking loudly outside of my room since 9 am stressing me out while just 5 minutes before 10 am I heard them saying “come on people 10 am is the checking out time” which I can definitely say it is not the way any hotel should perform. Overall it was a disappointing visit and I would never come back.

Food good apparently but not really a village pub anymore. Called in for a pint and although there are four hand pumps there are no kegs attached to them so no proper beer. "We don't sell enough to warrant buying it in". So if you're looking for a meal probably ok but if you're wondering about a pint you'll be disappointed. Shame, it used to be good.....
