The Blacksmiths Arms

I love it here, come quite often because the dishes are always to my liking. great place to go with friends and family. service is always great and the outdoor tables are comfortable, classy and inviting.

We had a warm welcome. the food was excellent, as was the service. the people serving were attentive and polite, all too rare attributes now in many places. i would most definitely come here again.

The best meal we’ve had in a long time! beautiful atmosphere, service with a friendly smile and the food was exquisite! would recommend to anybody looking for a delicious meal and cocktail out! will be coming back!

Delicious food, really enjoyable and clearly high quality ingredients, cooked to perfection and for the quality i would say prices are reasonable. we had the scallop starter to share (i really like the pea puree!) and we both had lamb rump with lamb shoulder for the main which was stunning. the flavours were beautifully balanced and there was a perfect mix of textures. i really appreciated the slightly crunchy, buttery brocolli - yum! unfortunately for us, the atmosphere was a bit lacking - it was too dark in the dining room and it lacked any character or charm. that being said, the outside area is very sweet and i'm sure is a lovely place to relax in the darker evenings. we also found the service to be lacking in warmth. it was friendly and polite but lacked a certain something. we were in and out within an hour and, for a celebration evening, we were just not 'wowed' as much as expected. not disappointed but not overwhelmed.
