We booked about 10 days in advance, as advised. We sat inside to eat, but moved outside afterwards to enjoy the warm evening. For my starter I chose belly pork, which was beautifully presented, and superbly tasty. My main course was tender and tasty braised...lamb shoulder "Henry", with masses of roast carrots and parsnips, and dauphinoise potatoes. The side of charred broccoli was also delicious. Thoroughly recommended!More

Came here for a Sunday evening meal, Excellent local ales and excellent smoked salmon starters. Two well cooked sirloin steaks and a Lamb shank Henry. All well cooked and presented, served by friendly chatty staff. Would definitely recommend and revisit. Thank you

One of the nicest meals I have ever eaten, I had the confit duck, beer was great too. Everything you want in a great pub. Aesthetically and the quality of the food, drink and service. Thanks!

We came to the Blacksmiths for our 20th wedding anniversary dinner. Roaring open fire, lovely, subtle lighting, friendly staff and delicious food. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and we highly recommend a visit! We'll be back the next time we're in the area. Thank you for...making our anniversary so special.More

We were staying just down the road from this pub so we popped in on the first night. The locals greeted us and were very welcoming. We returned the next night for a meal and were seated next to an open fire which our dog...loved! The food was amazing and we would definitely return if we’re ever in the area again. 10/10 would recommend but definitely book!More

We visited The Blacksmiths Arms for my birthday having read some good reviews. We were seated next to a lovely roaring fire and handed a small but perfectly formed menu and a short wine list. The wine was of good quality and the food was...exceptional. Lovely fresh produce, perfectly cooked. Everything we had was faultless but we particularly loved the tempura prawns (the accompanying salad was delicious too) and the lamb. We loved it so much we came back for lunch the next day. This was another faultless meal - the confit duck salad was out of this world. Service was also friendly, our dogs were welcomed, and although it was raining when we visited, it is a stunning setting.More

Superb food, excellent traditional pub with interesting interior. Staff very friendly and accommodating. No complaints.

A proper pub, with proper food and homely staff. Heartily recommended. Had the smoked salmon and pork T-bone. Nice espresso in the new cups!

Just a wonderful pub with superb beer and amazing food in a beautiful setting. Great service as well and very good whisky suggestion to perfectly finish off the evening. Fantastic.

After the pandemic my choice from the old menu has been restored, and is now even better than before. The sirloin steak was perfection, the best I have had since Scottie died and his restaurant closed in Limassol, Cyprus. Everything about the Blacksmiths is excellent.

We was told about this pub by the lady who works in the b and b we was staying in and what a hidden gem it is. Very traditional and as been kept to its original state which adds to the charm. The food is...delicious with plenty of choices and dog friendly too. It is off the beaten track but well worth a visit if you are in the area.More

The food is amazing we ate here over five nights and every meal was cooked to perfection. All the staff were lovely and the pub is in a beautiful setting. We will be back.
