I've not been here for many years, it's a bit out of the way but I was nearby so stopped for lunch. It's a traditional pub with three real ales but the food is restaurant quality and a cut above the average pub food, well presented and clearly home made. We had three courses and everything was excellent, swift service and reasonable prices given the quality. We are on a weekday and the place was quiet but we would definitely return.
Great food. Generous portions. Great beer. Good value. Great service. Friendly atmosphere. What more could you ask for!? Korean pork, battered cod sandwich, prawn and hot smoked salmon salad all delicious.
Found us a table even though they were booked up. Nice food. friendly staff, good beer.
Awesome pub food in a cosy Yorkshire pub. Homely and great tasting cuisine!
I couldn't fault the Blacksmiths before but recently the food seems to have gone up a level. Love the welcoming atmosphere and Dexter the pub dog is a family favourite. Great beer garden for the upcoming sunny weather aswell.
Popped in for lunch yesterday, 1st time we've been there and what a lovely place, comfortable seating with a warm and friendly greeting as we entered the pub, we choose Fish and Chips, a Chicken Vegetable dish and Vegetable Couscous. Whilst we waited we had drinks, aside from the usual larger/beers were two hand pull ales, a Semer Water Pale Ale and Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker Yorkshire Bitter. We chose the Semer Water and Timothy Taylor's, the Semer was exceptional...a lovely Pale Ale one of the best I've had both beers served beautifully, nice temp etc. When the food arrived we could tell we were in for a treat, all three meals were lovely, beautifully cooked and presented, portion size was healthy also 🙂. We also had pudding and again the three we had (Sticky toffee pudding, Raspberry and Chocolate cheesecake and Butterscotch crème brulee) were amazing. This was a gem of a find for us and will definitely go again/recommend.
Great pint of beer and friendly service. Roast pork gravy and crackling were delicious and vegetables were fresh and em tasty but roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were a bit stale and chewy. Puddings were all very very nice. Sticky toffee pudding and the apple and blackberry crumble were very well done
Don’t normally leave reviews but came here for a nice evening meal on a recommendation and what a little gem of a pub it is. Ended up having a full 3 course meal because the food was just so good and great value.
Super friendly and relaxed atmosphere and a really friendly dog to boot. Staff were super attentive and extremely friendly couldn’t ask for more.
The icing on the cake were the specials and the cozy log burner really bringing the winter vibes. Will recommend to everyone.
This is a gem!!!!
