The food was excellent! I had the seabass and it was yummy. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl and I have seen it change many times, but this is by far the best it’s been in my opinion? The staff are very friendly too!

As in past stays at the Hilton Doubletree Docklands Hotel I made my way over to this great local pub several times. Absolutely a great, welcoming place, either for a pint (or two) conversing with the locals or for excellent meals. The staff are all extremely friendly and engaging. It was two years since I last visited the area and the wonderful young lady Stevie recognized me and made me feel right at home. If you are looking for a traditional London pub I highly recommend The Blacksmiths Arms.

As with many others posting reviews, I was staying next door at the DoubleTree and fancied a proper pint and a good meal.Couldn't have asked for any more from the Blacksmith's.The service was friendly and helpful, the beer was good, and the burger was exactly what I was in the mood for. Delicious.Would have happily stayed for a few more beers if it wasn't for an early start the following day!

Nice and lovely pub in the area... Very local and seems like everyone knows everybody... Like the bartenders remember their customers name..and have a nice conversation.They have live music on Sundays which is amazing..If they had more vegetarian options..we would frequent a lot more ?

Went across the river for Sunday Roast, and it was very delicious, both the beef and lamb options.

Just had a Thai green curry here with some spring rolls with sweet Thai chilli and it was absolutely divine that I had to run here and write a review for anyone looking for a nice pub that also does great food too! Yummy

What a fantastic neighborhood pub. Food is amazing! Drinks are amazing! Dessert is amazing! Service was amazing!
Don’t go there if you’re looking for a good food but it is really good to have a drink

This is a hidden gem in the area. Elegant, cozy atmosphere, with excellent service. A variety of wines, beers and cocktails is served. The food is of a much better quality than most pubs in England. The only area of improvement in my view are deserts. I have tried them all and unfortunately they do not achieve similar standards. Especially the sticky toffee was quite dry and lacked flavour.

Main dish, service and atmosphere were amazing! The sea bass in particular was a delight of flavour! However the pear tart and the sticky toffee were not great!

Stumbled across this lovely pub as I was staying the hotel next door and looking for somewhere nice for dinner. The staff were lovely and friendly, managed to find me a table even though I hadn't booked, and the service was excellent. The menu has a decent selection including vegetarian dishes and vegan options. It was a Monday night and the place was quite busy and the atmosphere was lively and friendly. Wish I had a local like this, and highly recommend it especially if you're staying at the Doubletree by Hilton Docklands Riverside hotel and want to eat and drink somewhere with a bit more life to it!Vegetarian options: There were a couple of vegetarian dishes on the menu and there were vegan options available.

A pretty decent pub that’s not in the middle of a big thoroughfare so it’s got a cosy, relaxed vibe.The bar just put like an island, splitting the space in two. Warm wooden tables with decent amounts of space on the one side and more bar-like space on the other.The staff are fine, not overly-friendly but quick and efficient. The food comes quickly too.Drinks wise, the selection won’t blow you away but there is a good amount on tap (cider, ale, etc). Similarly the food isn’t anything to write home about, but things like chips with truffles and Parmesan are only 50p more than regular chips and a decent size.All in all, a nice place to hang out with friends for a casual evening at a decent price.
