Amazing Sunday lunch with a super view, and excellent service!

A couple of years ago we discovered Blackwell's Pasties and their amazing Big Berthas. This year we took a bit of a detour on our trip to Cornwall so we could buy another Big Bertha because they are just too good to miss.

This is definitely the best place to eat in Westward Ho ! Amazing carvery with lots of lovely fresh vegetables. Good choice of other meals on the menu and a very impressive dessert trolly. Good service, clean, comfortable and very friendly.

Very pleasant and efficient barman and waiter. The starter-Whitby prawns Bengali were very good. My main course Linguine with prawns, mussels and calamari was very disapointing. The prawns and mussels were aprox 1 cm in length, the chopped up small pieces of calamari were very chewy. The linguine which was creamy was ok but this all floated in about 2 tablespoons of butter. My husbands sweet potatoe curry was ok but had no flavour of spices just heat.

We were pleased with the choices on the menu and the meals were attractively served and delicious. We particularly enjoyed the duck dish and the venison combination

If you want a warm welcome, good service, good food , clean and authentic room you have it all at The Old Smithy Inn . We decided to go off the main road and found this gem. Well worth the visit and if you are lucky enough to be there on a Thursday ( every second week so check the date) there is live local folk music . Don’t miss this pub if you are near !

What a wonderful little pub. My colleague and I were on a business trip and came across this gem as it was near to where we were staying. First off it has a big car park and pub garden. Walked in to a warm pub with a lit open fire and jovial atmosphere. Beautiful old style building with beautiful big beams. Staff and landlord were extremely welcoming and attentive. Food portions were large and wonderfully cooked using fresh produce. If we lived locally we would 100% be returning.

Excellent fish and chips. Plus, a pint in the pub across the lane while you wait for your order. Pub belongs to the same people. Eat food in the bar. All decorated for Halloween.

I took my grandson for lunch, he thoroughly enjoyed his sausage roll and loved the ketchup. I had a ham hock brioche roll which was lovely. The coffee was the best, I had an americano with hot milk as advised by the lovely lady at the counter, she also suggested an organic smoothie for my grandson and he loved it. Really nice decor, sunny and clean.

What a treat ! Warm welcoming and comfortable. Excellent service , attentive and friendly . Now for the food ! Absolutely lovely . We had the set Sunday lunch and there was plenty of it and the flavour or the meat was to die for . Fresh local vegetables cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire puddings fluffy and large . A really nice starter a jug of soup each and super bread nibbles and a chicken liver parfait . I was most impressed at how well I was looked after as I have an allergy to alcohol. Nothing was too much trouble and I had my own soup as the other had alcohol in , it was tasty and sublime . As I couldn’t eat the parfait either they brought me a delicious baked Camembert instead . The main course came in a skillet , to help yourself. Plenty of delicious meat and vegetables . The sweet was a sticky toffee pudding and a lovely creamy rice pudding , better than Mother used to make ! Would I return ? Absolutely and I can’t wait !
