We stopped by this afternoon and had a sandwich and some chips (side). The service was very pleasant and friendly and the food was fresh and very tasty. We regularly travel from Thorpe Willoughby to York for shopping and days out, we will definitely be doing this again and will recommend to our friends also. Best cheese & ham sandwich I’ve had.

Best pub for miles around. Excellent service and great staff. The new owners, Anthony and Joanne are brilliant. Great selection of beers, both draft and bottled and a superb selection of specialty gins to suit everyone. The food is amazing, just make sure you’re hungry as there is rather a lot of it!!

Staying at York Marina campsite we were looking for a local pub for a drink and a meal. This place is a lovely, friendly pub with a good selection of drinks and food. As a family of 3, (plus 1 pooch) we had the steak in ale pie x2 and a pizza. The food was amazing. Probably the best steak in ale pie we've ever had, kind of good. Good service, nothing too much trouble, and really nice people to boot. A lovely night out was had, would definitely recommend this place if you're staying nearby.

We dropped by here for lunch after shopping at the York outlet, Sally was very welcoming and friendly. We had burgers and a pizza and the food was delicious. The pub is a good size inside and dog friendly, there is also outside seating front and back. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

This place is the best. Had dinner there on Thursdsy and lunch on Friday. Sally is the loveliest person ever and couldn't do enough for us. Anthony (landlord/chef) makes the best burgers and onion rings are out of this world. Being a coeliac is always a worry when eating out but Anthony was fully aware of gluten free. If your in the area you've got to visit these lovely people xx

Came here for a carvery on the 7th April 2024 and it was exactly what I needed. The carvery was delicious, staff were friendly and good VFM. Didn't take a room though so can't give stars on that. Highly recommended.

I would say the best carvery we have ever had. Absolutely delicious. We visited whilst staying at Naburn Lock caravan park. We hadn't booked but the landlord went out of his way to make sure we were fed. Excellent service.

What a great place to enjoy a traditional Sunday lunch. Fantastic selection of home cooked meats and veg from the serve yourself display. Lovely hosts and friendly locals made our day out with family and dog a pre Xmas treat.

We dropped in for a coffee halfway round a walk, it looked closed but it was in fact open! We ended up with sandwiches and skin on chips, both very nice. Years ago the Blacksmiths Arms used to be the place to go for a Sunday Carvery but sadly it only had a few locals in, a broken gas ring and no carvery.

Called in during a 10 mile dog walk, greeted by lovely hosts and a warm welcome. We sat outside as the dogs were muddy, polite and friendly staff so would definitely give you a 5 star. Will be back again for sure

We were fortunate to be staying close by at York Marina to discover this little gem of a public house, a warm welcome awaits here and the Sunday carvery was absolutely delicious, definitely a return on the cards 🙏

Omg!! Me and my family went there for a Sunday Carvery, (as we are down here on holiday) and it is the best carvery we have ever had!! We don’t write reviews but this one definitely deserved a review, and we had pudding after, and they were so tasty!! 100% recommend going here.

Hidden gem! They managed to squeeze us in at the last minute. Staff are really friendly. Food was lovely we even received a free Father’s Day gift 😊. We live nearly an hour away from the pub and our son accidentally left his bracelet there. Anthony went out of his way to ring us and even deliver back the bracelet to my nearby relative. Customer service five stars ⭐️ Would definitely recommend and we will be back in the future. Thank you 🙏
