We hadn’t been for a while as the pub unfortunately now closes on Monday and Tuesdays, which are the days we regularly used to drive past and call in. Finding ourselves in the area on a Thursday we were delighted to be able to call in once again - we had missed it! The food was just as delicious and top quality as we remembered. I have always loved the sea bass here, in its various incarnations, currently it is served with spring onions and ginger with sautéed new potatoes. Absolutely delicious! The food always arrives piping hot and in mighty generous portions. My husband tucked into his halloumi burger with equal gusto. We were delighted to find the food was as great quality as ever ! This pub is always sparkling and clean, and the staff helpful and efficient. A class act all round !

Visited here for Sunday Lunch. Was absolutely brilliant. They also have Stella Unfiltered on tap which was absolutely lovely !! Food was great value for money and no complaints at all. The only small issue, was some of the staff could be a bit happier. We asked one waitress if they were open on Christmas Day, she literally replied "No." Will definitley visit again ! Brilliant Afternoon.

We were a party of 8 and regularly visit local restaurants and pubs. Our choices from the menu were varied although we didn’t have a starter. We all thought our meals were excellent, my duck was cooked to perfection. Sweet choice was again varied and again all excellent. Couldn’t fault the food at all. Parking is somewhat restricted but as The Old Smithy is just round the corner from the High Street this shouldn’t be a problem.

After trying our luck on a table for four without a booking, we were met by lovely staff who accommodated us well and found us a table - which was fortunate for us. We all had the Pie, Chips, Veg and Gravy and I can honestly say it's probably the best restaurant meal of that type I've eaten in a long time, if not ever. Pie was full of meat filling, tasty sauce and lovely soft pastry. The chips were so well cooked with flakey salt and the veggies were delicious. Great portion sizes. For dessert, a Sticky Toffee pudding for me, which is a personal favourite of mine, and was also absolutely delicious with some vanilla ice cream. Wonderfully soft with some fantastic toffee sauce! I would absolutely recommend a visit here, whether you're passing or a local. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere was lovely and the food is 100% worth the restaurant prices - you won't regret it!

Took the family to what was recommended to us as a friendly high standard restaurant only to be disappointed with what we could hear from the bar. We had what we thought to be a peaceful table looking outside to the fountain only to hear members of staff using foul disgusting language around the corner. I had to try and explain to my young grandchildren that the words they could hear and did not understand were not to be said in such a public place or to be repeated, they should not have to hear those words. There was no consideration for their own noise of stomping around and loud voices disturbing the peace. just as a warning to those wanting to visit have a rethink as I highly doubt them young girls will have any care in the world who hears their conversations when they should be acting in a professional manner.

We visited The Old Smithy on Saturday 24th February for our daughter's 8th birthday. Yet again, it was an excellent experience. Martin and Charlotte are the perfect hosts. We are regulars and they go above and beyond to accommodate us, we can be a pain! Martin will prepare THE most outstanding food to order, which is not always on the menu and is always excellent. Charlotte, Adrian and the other front of house staff are very attentive. Adrian is the best cocktail maker! We had a party of 8 on Saturday, 5 of whom were 8 year old girls so rather a noisy party but the staff were great. All the food was brought out promptly which was great with 5 hungry little tummies and all very much enjoyed by all of us. A big thank you to all at The Old Smithy for another great night out :)

To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Here is my review of the “The Old Smithy.” After my cousins Hen Do back in April 2023, from which the feedback was amazing, we decided to frequent this restaurant for my grandmothers 80th birthday for December 2023. I called on 16th of July 2023 to reserve the upstairs attic room for the party: whilst on the phone I also explained about various dietary issues and our rough plan for the meal and day. The young lady on the phone took all the information and told me the space had been reserved for me and my family. On the day of our reservation, (3/12/2023) part of my family arrived a little early to avoid the difficult parking and were told to go straight upstairs. I arrived a brief time later to find nothing set up for our lunch, but we continued with balloons, presents and cakes with my nan present (not ideal). Suddenly we were informed our reservation was for downstairs and that we had to move because of a Baby Shower. We had no idea that the space had been double booked and I was hurt, angry and embarrassed when we were told to move downstairs with not even a single apology being made from management. The other group were very adamant that they “needed” the space (despite there being a lot fewer people in attendance) and in front of the other group we were forced to go downstairs taking all our birthday supplies with us. I was trying to speak to the waiter whilst the other group were stood beside me, I was not even offered the courtesy of a private space to sort the issue out. The Baby Shower group were very forceful, and it felt very much like the staff prioritised their booking, despite my reservation having been made in early July. The attitude of the staff had was extremely poor, apologies were made but were not sincere and my family were simply forced downstairs, where we were met with a cramped, unsuitable space. This was unacceptable as it was far from what we had booked. It was too small and many of us could not enjoy our meals as there was insufficient space. It felt like an afterthought. My nephew is autistic, and as such, he does not cope well in crowded/noisy environments. We wanted somewhere more private so we could accommodate his needs, which we could not do downstairs. It was so bad in fact, my nephew and his father had to remove themselves to sit at a different table - something that would not have happened, had “The Old Smithy” honoured their agreement. We had planned to play games and hosting a celebration of my Nan’s life, an experience that was totally spoiled. Whilst we were in the process of sitting for our lunch, many members of my family voiced their disappointment to be greeted with shrugs and non-committal noises. I heard just one genuine apology during the entire debacle from a male waiter. My father had a conversation with your manager (Female), which I was not privy to, but I am led to believe he was less than helpful. The food however was outstanding and tasted delicious. The staff who served our table were more than helpful and accommodating which was the only redeeming quality from the experience. However, the entire day was a total embarrassment, as we were treated as an afterthought, an inconvenience. The poor customer service at the start and the issue with our booking overshadowed our overall experience. This is such a shame as we were planning to use this establishment as a yearly venue for my Nans birthday celebrations. However, we will have to look at other alternatives for the future as we were treated very unfairly. Our experience was completely unacceptable, and we should have been treated better as paying customers. I also emailed this restaurant on the 06/12/23 to explain my disgust and did not receive and acknowledgement from management. I then emailed again on the 02/01/23 as I thought they would have been busy over the Christmas period. Again, I have received no reply from the owners. Shameful and very rude. My Family consisted of three soldiers (two retried) who served in the British Army. One Doctor, two teachers and two who work for His Majesty’s Prison service. You should be ashamed of yourselves. We will not be returning.

We had a fantastic Sunday roast dinner here. Everything you would expect, very well cooked, plenty of veg. All the food tasted fresh, homemade and authentic. The only negative was that we waited about 30 min before anyone took our food order. Staff were friendly but we'd appreciate being told that there might be a bit of a wait if they were particularly busy.

Well not the best meal I've ever had. The starter was OK, nothing brilliant. But the main well, where should I start, fish over cooked, I had to ask for the veg, staff didn't know how to serve correctly and when I complained the reply was "oh OK" & no reply at all. When a written complaint was done the reply was "we take your comments on board" well the simplistic of meals that cannot be done right "Fish & chips" didn't bother with desert to be honest why bother. Guess what the place will never be visited again.

Had a large group for a family birthday Sunday lunch. As ever, the staff were great and very helpful. The food however was very disappointing. Quite a few of us had the roast that was poor, the beef tough and the vegetables seemed to have been sitting for some time in that they dried out somewhat. Others who had from the menu were underwhelmed. This is not how we remember The Smithy that we have been using since it opened some 10 years ago. Its a shame as we have always recommended it to others. To be honest, although its the closest to us, we will not be returning for a Sunday lunch until we hear better feedback.

We have eaten at The Old Smithy numerous times and used the function room for a large family celebratory meal. It has been our restaurant of choice for a number of years. Sadly, we had a meal in the restaurant last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were left bitterly disappointed. The starters were absolutely fine. However, whilst accepting that her choice of main wasn't to my wife's liking, that was a subjective assessment. Her main criticism was that the vegetables were virtually raw - she couldn't cut them they were so undercooked. I chose the lamb shoulder, and although not a lean cut, I barely had any meat content as the offering was virtually all fat. We are not the type to complain usually, but my wife felt compelled to comment on the quality of her meal when asked whether it was OK (she had left the majority of it). The waitress relayed her comments to the chef patron, who simply sent a message back to say that he was sorry she didn't enjoy the meal but that it is served often in the restaurant without complaint. At the time, there was one other couple in the restaurant who had just finished their meal, so I thought it might have been reasonable for the chef to come and discuss what was wrong - it was pretty obvious that this is not something Martin does. I did ask the barman if I could speak to him, but was told he was unavailable and was given a business card instead. It was the lack of concern displayed by the patron that irked us the most. Having recommended the restaurant many times previously, we won't be doing so again. Neither will we visit again. A sad end to what should have been a lovely celebration. Disappointed!

My partner, parents and I went for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed! The pub itself was very warm and cosy, although quite modern inside which surprised me as it’s history is the old smithy. Service and staff were excellent! We sat in the bar (booth) as we had our dog. They were so attentive and even made sure the dog bowl had water and even gave him some doggy treats! The food was excellent! I had the Sunday roast (beef) which was cooked to perfection. My mum had the lamb which was also superb. Dad had the homemade pie…I will be having that next time as it was a proper traditional homemade pie (I think a proper hot water crust pastry) and dad said the best he had for a very long time. My partner had the chicken roast which was also brilliant. Oh, and the garlic mushroom starter was delicious! I could have eaten that for a main course! Highly recommend and will be going back very soon!

Throughout our time at The Wayfarer all Staff were very polite and attentive. Our most delicious food arrived quickly. The restaurant was busy and had a lovely atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our family celebration. We love the Wayfarer and will definitely return.

First time coming here with my partner. The food and service was excellent! We had a great deal on starters - 3 for £12. The chorizo sausage was highly recommended! Staff were really friendly and welcoming. The gentleman named Mike serving our food was lovely, made the evening a lovely experience. Will definitely come back.
