Dropped in with the wife and 2 kids. We were staying at splash landings, they were too busy so we found this place nearby.
A nice atmosphere, friendly staff who never stopped.smiling and chatting.
Great menu, great food! All homemade in large portion sizes. My kids couldn't finish their burgers...thats a first!
Will be returning to here for definate. Well worth venturing out of Alton Towers instead of their overpriced buffet!
Booked a couple of nights at Alton Towers on a 'special offer' rate. Felt totally ripped off for lots of reasons and the food was nothing special, expensive and poor service. Went in search of a McDonalds which, bad as it is, would have been preferable and more honest than the Secret Garden 'Restaurant' at AT. Anyway stumbled on the Blacksmiths Arms a few minutes down the road. What a little Gem of a place.... lovely decor, delicious, reasonable priced food and wonderful customer service.... nothing was too much trouble. AT should send their restaurant staff here for training. Such a lovely warm welcome. Highly recommend eating here and would go out of our way to go again. Wonderful, thank you xxx
Popped In yesterday after a long day at the theme park! Walked from Little Micklin Touring park.. for a small bite to eat... MY GOD! We did not expect the food to be as big nor taste and look as good as it did!! The staff were smashing and very polite, nothing was to much effort! The food went down an absolute treat... when we return for our next trip... We will absolutely be coming back to your amazing restaurant!! Thank you!!
Visited here a few times now when on road trips to Alton towers with friends, can't recommend highly enough, really great surroundings, friendly staff and although the food is absolutely fantastic it won't cost you that much, such a nice place to relax at the end of a long day
Superb restaurant, I have never done a restaurant review on either trip advisor or Facebook before, but the outstanding food and service of this gem of a restaurant made me feel compelled to share. Anyone visiting Alton Towers should get themselves down here, superb food, reasonable prices, great with kids, youngest went for the make your own pizza option both nights, and now feels like a pro!
Brought friends in for tea last night..as usual the food was brilliant.. especially the new pizza burgers.. we were all so full we could barely finish them! Great prices..great portions,great food and great service!
Lovely staff, food was fantastic. Def worth a stop off for tea.
Called for dinner after a long day at Alton Towers and I am very glad we did. Will be eating here every time we visit in future. Friendly, welcoming and the food was exquisite. Could not recommend more highly...
This place is wonderful!! Clean comfortable B&B, very welcoming and friendly staff, amazing food and the lovely rustic feel of a cosy pub downstairs. I will definatley be staying again. I've found a little gem! Thank you!!

This place is wonderful!! very welcoming and friendly staff, amazing food and the lovely rustic feel of a cosy pub.. will be coming again
One of my all time favourite pubs especially after finishing a full day of acting at scarefest was the perfect place to unwind and have a beer and some fantastic food
Really can't recommend this place enough! Ate here Friday and Saturday. Food was fantastic service was really good A+++
Amazing pub and restaurant superb food good prices lovely staff would highly reccommend a visit
This was our second visit last time was 4 years ago and hasn't changed a bit staff friendly helpful food was excellent and great value for money
Had a lovely meal at the blacksmith arms on bank holiday Monday,we phoned and asked could they accommodate 15 people at short notice and after a bit of rearranging by them they did so. All the meals were hot and cooked just right and we were all made very welcome,the kids were even invited to try out the new bowling alley. Thanks very much to all !
The food was out of this world the staff were lovely such a lovely country pub will be definitely going back next time am at my friends x
Excellent food and service. I like to have a little taste of everything on a menu so I usually go for a platter to share and a mains.
Very rich and tasty food. Well presented.
Staff are wonderfull too the girl serving us was very nice and attentive.
Glad we ate here instead of In Alton towers where we were staying.
Ps a nice pint of Guiness also 😁
Such an amazing restaurant and cosy pub. The food is amazing and great value. Just 5 mins from Alton Towers so a great place to take the family after a day at the theme park.
Wonderful, home made food. We had dinner here and if ever in the area we will visit again. The staff are absolutely lovely and home made food! Well worth the visit.
Nice pub, bit expensive but worth the price for the grub. Took awhile for the food to arrive but worth the wait. Great customer service
Had a fantastic weekend everything was top stuff the food was amazing and the staff was very friendly highly recommended if going to alton towers for the day to call for food even better if you can get to stay over ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤
Myself and my partner stayed overnight near here for Alton Towers, after a long day at the theme park the blacksmiths arms certainly delivered! The service can't be faulted, all very friendly and happy to help. There was a small wait for food, but this is due to the food being freshly cooked rather than frozen meals. The food was brilliant quality with a great quantity, neither of us were left wanting. The highlight was the dessert though, easily the best I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend visiting here for a meal.
Room was lovely, clean and spacious. The food was wonderful and tasty. Warm welcome by staff and locals. The staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely be back again!!
Stayed over in camper as part of Britstops scheme. Very welcoming on arrival, lovely evening meal, including make-your-own-pizza for the kids. Fabulous breakfast too! Lovely friendly staff. Perfect for a quick stop whilst at Alton Towers. Will definitely return for more!
Stopped here for a meal after a day out at Alton Towers and I am very glad we did. I will be making a point of stopping every time I go back in future. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, exceptionally family friendly and the food was amazing. Quite possibly the best burger I have ever tasted!!
Me and my partner stopped here for a meal, as we were staying at Alton Towers Hotel and we were told no availability in their restaurant so we searched online and came accross this place. What a find! Really cosy and peaceful, not too busy, very chilled atmosphere and lovely tea pots all around on the shelves which I thought was endearing and the food was just amazing! My partner ordered the chicken burger and he said it was the best burger he'd ever tasted! I ordered the gammon and that too was just delicious and quite reasonably priced. The service was also very good, friendly and attentive and you can go for a nice evening stroll just round the corner, all in all a great experience. We would definitely recommend and return
