This was our very first visit but after today’s experience, we won’t be back. Staff member was welcoming and order taken quickly. Two coffees, a scone and a small glass of milk. When the scone arrived, it was rock hard, dry and crumbly and very difficult to cut open. Basically inedible. I suspect this was a scone left over from yesterday. Was shocked at what this cost. Was not asked if everything was ok. Such a ‘let down’ ! Overpriced and underwhelming.

Customer service is sadly lacking and attitude of a certain member of staff is poor. Asked for a table to be cleared as we were sitting in a very cold spot near door on a bitterly cold day and wanted to move table . Was told by her “ this isn’t something I can do” . Service was slow so overall A very negative disappointing experience . The owner needs to take heed of the many negative reviews .

Visited with my son today and it was very disappointing. We were seated quickly and drinks brought to the table straight away. We waited a bit of time before having our order taken but nothing compared to the wait for the food. We only ordered a cheese toastie and a portion of chips and waited over 30 minutes. £8.95 for a small toastie and very small side salad is shocking! We then waited over 20 mins for the plates to be cleared. Ordered 2 cakes, a yum yum and chocolate Krispy. I was confused when both were served with a latte spoon and the yum yum was served with pouring cream all over it! When I asked to exchange this, the girl was very unhelpful and said she would need to see. Plain yum yum was then served but completely stale! During the time we were eating our food another family left as they had been told 20 mins for food and when it didn’t arrive they were told it would be a further 15 mins. Not surprising they chose to leave at this point! £25 later, I wish we had chosen to leave too! Very disorganised, slow and inattentive service! Won’t be returning.

Been here before was really good that’s our reason to return. However today’s visit has totally change my experience of the Smithy. Arrived at 1pm seated for 4 right away ordered within 2 minutes. Two couples arrived after our arrival served and finished their meal whilst we were still waiting. I could go on but the simple conclusion is we won’t be back to The Smithy!!!

Very poor quality of food, staff (particularly young staff) are treated very poorly by the owner and the older staff. Anytime we have visited we are never made to feel welcome, getting asked for our orders feels like its a chore for the older staff members. Younger staff appear to be used for cheap labour. Overall poor quality food at expensive prices, wouldn't recommend it to anyone and certainly will never be back. The owner should be ashamed at the way she runs her business

Have been at The Smithy once before and it was very good and that is why we returned today. But today it was awful. My daughter got a baked potato which was hard and uncooked and I asked for a cheese and pickle toastie but they didn’t do pickle and had to take mango chutney. I could have made a better toasties at home. The toastie came with a teaspoon of coleslaw and dorito type crisp which were stale. This cost me £8.95 (OMG) and the baked potato which was changed but still dreadful was £10 with a dessert spoon of cheese and a small portion of coleslaw. They actually asked if everything was ok when I was paying but I complained and had the drinks removed from the total price. They were £2.65 each...really for a can of Fanta Don't know where they get the prices from which are certainly ridiculous for the what we received. We had been there before and my daughter asked for the same as today, baked potato with cheese and coleslaw which came with a huge salad. Were told that they no longer serve salad on plates and have stopped pickle for the toasties I'm almost sure we wouldn't be the only disappointed customers. Will definitely not be going back and would advise others not to waste their money.

Met up with a few friends for lunch and a catch up and choose here due to its central location. On entering, you expect to be met with a warm reception and a smile, both were missing. Lunch order taken again without a smile and felt we were an inconvenience. Our order came quickly, I had ordered a sandwich, and thats exactly what I got, it wasnt a bloomer. Toasted sandwich, a dollop of coleslaw, some tortillas all for £8.95. That was our last interaction with the staff, no is your food ok? which is probably just as well as my friend couldnt eat hers, the chicken in her panini wasnt right. We sad with dirty plates on the table for the whole duration of our visit. When we went to pay, again there was no, "is everything ok" Sadly I wouldnt recommend and we will not return

We had our breakfast here the last day of our stay in the area, pity we hadn’t called in earlier in the week, we’d have been there everyday. A lot of the family had French toast with maple syrup with or without bacon and they all thought it was the best they’d ever had. Combined with great coffee and fabulous looking cakes and scones what more could you want.

Lovely wee place for lunch and the young members of staff were so pleasant and helpful, but the older lady with the silver hair who took the orders OMG she needs customer service training …. Not welcoming at all, she glowered at everyone that came through the door, and it did seem like she served who she wanted first and not in the correct order, probably her regulars, wouldn’t visit again as didn’t feel welcome at all.

First visit we both had jacket potatoes, well presented with plenty of filling inside. Salad and crisps on the side as well. Both of us had a cake, dad had fruit slice which he thoroughly enjoyed and i had a plain scone which was lovely and fresh. Second visit i had macaroni cheese and dad had a different jacket potato. Both meals fresh and enjoyable.

This woman and her establishment is a joke! Frozen rubbery chicken? Bought in empires? Let alone the "toilets" not being cleaned on a regular basis DISGUSTING!!!

The food is incredible and the coffee perfect! Really nice staff and the owner is one of kindest people you could meet. I was once struggling with my mum in a wheelchair and she went over and above to help me. Could not recommend enough!

We visited on Fri 30th August ,our 3rd and last visit . First visit was few weeks ago , and wasn’t great , food mediocre but service very poor. Tables far too cram jammed in . Untrained staff seemed to be in a complete muddle culminating in the waitress who finally brought our food , missing the table ( she was speaking to someone at another table ) luckily my husband caught the plate !! Second visit was good , it was very quiet , food was good , 3rd visit ... well we might still be sitting in there several days later. I The strange little oblong table, rocked back and forth like a see saw , we were given menus , but no body came near us again even to take a drinks order . Over crowded with tables, under staffed and untrained ... sorry!

Have to say not as happy as last visit... plenty of staff on duty but to be honest there were too many and no defined roles... waited ten minutes to pay. Food and cake was ok but fifteen pounds for cake and coffee for two is, to me, expensive.Will be trying elsewhere for coffee next time.

Visited for coffee as it was just off the A77. Traybake nice and coffee good but in cup. The waitress was not so pleasant and I would not rush back.

Was a warm day on Saturday and we needed food. Cafe was quieter than usual as later in the day. I’d forgotten my glassesSo friend had to read the menu! We opted for Avacado spicy on toast.. Neither of us had tasted that before. It was delicious absolutely recommend. Hummus with a layer of avacado spicy in top with a small salad and coleslaw... heaven.

Was busy we were sat at a long wooden table that wobbled about and not comfortable at all . Service was slow had to ask for milk 3 times for my tea . It was young girls serving all had long hair not tied back . Soup was nice but we will not rush back . The wooden table we were sat at was dangerous I was scared I got scalded as staff passed behind me with hot soup .

Hotel was in need of significant upgrade. New owners have not investmented in the property. Hotel is understaffed and this was very poor experience

Superb fast service. We did not eat in the restaurant. Ordered at 7.23pm on a bank holiday Monday and received the food at 7.51pm. The food was delivered so quickly, that the steam was still rising from the rice, as we ate at the table. The food was delicious. The tempura vegetable starters and fish cakes had a delicious sweet chilli sauce. We had a selection of mains, including Pad Thai and green curry. All great. Portions very large. Highly recommended.

Arrived around 2.45 shown to table ordered food and drinks drinks arrived cutlery arrived food was a no show after an hour we asked what was happening .To be told a large booking had arrived half hour late and it had thrown everything back. By 30 mins . Well no sorry if a booking is late thats their problem not customer that are left waiting with no communication . Daughter was going to work so we couldn't wait any longer 2 Yr old was really upset about not getting her treat with family only to be told you wouldn't charge for 3 juices a fruit shoot and a pint of lager.the only one that had drank was the 2 Yr old the rest of drinks were left as we ordered to go along with the missing food . My daughter myself and my husband have all worked in hospitality industry daughter is actually a chef for a large brewery chain .if a booking is late then you don't pander to them they should be told as your late you have other customers waiting .not amused and definitely won't return
