We had our wedding reception here on Saturday the 2nd June 2018 and had exclusive use of the entire venue.
From inital booking all the way through to the day the team have been incredible. The venue is very tastful and classy (accommodation is beautifully designed). The food was exceptional, alot of the guests told us it was the best wedding breakfast they have ever tasted.
The waiting staff were extremely helpful and made sure we were all looked after the entire day/ night. The front of house manager mark and elisha the events manager take the standard of customer service to another level and are a credit to the place (mark even taxied some guests home for free) to ensure our day went smoothly.
We had an amazing day and thankyou to everyone at the blacksmiths for creating a great atmosphere and a massive shout out to the head chef and his team for the exquisite food during the day and evening.
Cant wait to return now we are married for a nice evening meal...
Spent our wedding anniversary here and it was amazing. The room was beautiful. The foid amazing but the best part is the staff. Made us feel so welcome and like friends. Thanks to Mark for going that extra mile for us you are a star!
See u all soon x
Easy to recommend!
Great staff and service and the food is exceptional
Fab meal this evening in the garden at the Blacksmiths Clayworth, both food and service was excellent!!
We took our elderly parents for your special Fish menu on Thursday 14th June, what wonderful food, Mark & staff where faultless..... thank you & see you very soon ���
Went here for Sunday lunch with friends. The roast beef was excellent and plentiful, as were the veggies. The prawn cocktail starter a must try. Beautiful restaurant, a mix of traditional/ contemporary, with carpet on the floor to minimise noise, which is rare these days, but really makes a difference! Staff were very welcoming and pleasant also. Would highly recommend!
This was our first visit to Blacksmiths at Clayworth. I would definately visit this fantastic resturant again and reccommend it to all my friends. The food was exceptional and the service complimented this. Superiour night with my partner on a date night. I am looking forward to booking again in the resturant. Thank you to all the staff for such a lovely evening x �
We've been here a few times and spent Easter Sunday 2018 enjoying their roast - food and service was excellent. Thank you.
We stayed here Tuesday 24 July while traveling through England so glad we did The food and service was excellent and so friendly We will definitely be recommending to our friends who travel here and hope to return ourselves The accommodation was perfect too spacious comfortable and well thought out Thanks for a great stay 😊
Polite and friendly staff, escorted us to our booked table. Excellent menu choices and the quality of the food was outstanding, well kept cask ale, highly recommended.
This was my first visit here after reading many wonderful reviews & recommendations from friends & colleagues.
We booked in advance as it gets really busy. We arrived were seated quickly & our drinks order taken. The menu is vast & they had 2 amazing specials board so lots of choice to suit all tastes.
The food followed & wow was we impressed. We both had the souffle to start, this was very impressive & tasted amazing. For mains I had the chicken stuffed with choritzo wrapped in parma ham served in a lovely red pepper sauce, served with chips & my friend had the venison he said it was totally amazing.
Highly recommend here, lovely atmosphere lovely staff will definately be back again soon 10 /10
We were spoilt for a large choice of variety of food. Food is 9.5/10. You can only get better meals only in food specific places but then you don't get this huge variety. If you want to please everyone in your family or your friends then this is the right place. Book by phone in advance. The staff is professional. Portions are very large. 100% recommend
Wonderful choice of food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely dine there again.👍👍
We had an excellent meal, the seafood platter was to die for and the venison loin cooked to perfection. We will definitely make this our 'go to' restaurant.
Hard to decide on 4 or 5 stars for this place, however decided on 4... Location is in a gorgeous little village, quite a way off the main road to Gainsborough, not a place you will pass, you have to know its there, and you could easily drive past so keep your eyes peeled!
Food is expensive but kinda worth it; tasted good and was well presented. We had mussels, calamari and mushrooms on toast to start, no complaints, all lovely. For main we had rack of spring lamb, calves liver and the seafood mixed grill. The lamb although tasted good and was nice and pink, I think the fat could have done with more rendering to crisp it up a bit. I found the calves liver dish a tad rich and a bit too salty, but that could just be me.. The best dish was the seafood mixed grill, lots of meaty pieces of fish and the price wasn't too bad either, definitely the best value.
Service was excellent; friendly and just attentive enough.
The food and service never disappoints here. The selection on the menu boards are emense. On our last visit, we had chateaubriand, it was amazing and came with all the usual extras. If you're looking for somewhere to eat, this is a must.... you'll never be disappointed.
Thank you

The best food I have ever eaten. And a beautiful place. Highly recommended..
Love this place, fantastic food and service. Haven't stayed over so haven't rated the accommodation but hoping to change that soon!
Amazing food in a great restaurant. The rooms are incredible and Rachel and Jonathan could not do enough to look after my colleague who stayed for a few nights.
First time trying this pub, it was amazing the inside is beautiful the staff helpful and really nice. The food choice is spectacular and the food looks and tastes out of this world. It certainly isn't a cheap night out, but with food of this calibre I really wouldn't expect anything less. Really is worth a visit if u want food that is just that bit more specialised.
beautiful up market village pub with rooms. Extensive blackboard menus with daily specials. one of our favourite restaurants
1st visit under the new management, well modernised pub, with a good selection of wines and spirits, staff were pleasant and efficient. The menu is in 2 parts the standard varied menu in the form of a table menu and a much more varied chalk board menu, we had the Pork, beef cheek, mussels and Sea bass, all the food was cooked to perfection with good portions, unfortunately too full to try the desserts. This is definitely an “in” place to eat the food, atmosphere and service deserves a good 8 or 9 out of 10, booking essential £165 for 4
Amazing food , friendly family that run it very well. Seafood and fish is truly beautiful. Go you will love it
Everything was superb.
Staff were attentive, friendly and professional without being intrusive which is lovely.
All decked for Christmas which added to the lovely ambience
We had lobster thermador and monk fish.
Absolutely cooked to perfection and beautiful flavours and accompaniments.
The bathroom was beautifully set up and clean.
We had a lovely evening.
Extensive menus but mostly not my choices. Very expensive too. Fish & chips off the lunch menu was nice but £11 with the tiniest portion of mushy peas I've ever seen. Desert was lovely but £7 for again a tiny portion of cheesecake/cream. I came away still feeling hungry, first time ever for me & I don't usually eat much.
We went to the pub specifically for the nice food and not for the staff/owners' jolly attitude or lack of it. Having said that, the older waitress is always polite (even from the days at the Whitehouses). The food was as fantastic as always. Be prepared to ignore the long faces and concentrate on the food. Sadly, the lack of a welcome smile loses them one star.
Went for a meal at the weekend. The food is amazing, with the staff providing excellent customer service. The atmosphere was very comfortable, with plenty of room to navigate around. The wine was superb! The friends who I took are typically fussy, but they enjoyed every minute. Next time I will be staying in one of their rooms, which I’ve heard are also amazing. Overall, I could not recommend this restaurant more.
Food was incredible. The waitressing staff could not do enough to help, making the service exceptional.
