Cracking old fashioned country pub, you know it's a winner when you walk in and they have four real ales on the hand and cheese, pickled onions, and mini crackers on the bar on a Sunday lunchtime.

Visited here and it was very quiet. We managed to get to a table and order drinks straightaway. It didn't take too long for food to be ordered or turn up. We all got the Smoked Cheese Burger and it was nice. The only downside was that it didn't have the strongest flavour and the chips were a bit soggy. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and the service was good.

Customer service was poor not enough staff, cold restaurant. Food choice limited and on arrival was not at all nice. Burger and roll burnt, chips overcooked and greasy, onion rings tasted of old oil. Don’t waste your money people here it’s a sad but clearly deteriorating pub.

A nice pub, waitress are really nice, decent selection of beers, wines, and others. Local to William Harvey hospital, nice atmosphere, parking across the road, nice sitting area out the back that has a bouncy castle in summer months. Haven’t eaten here apart from some chips, but other peoples food looks good! Toilets are clean, friendly service, an all round decent pub

As soon as I walked in the blacksmiths Arms. I felt comfortable, the bar staff was polite, and greeted me with a smile. The manager took time out to talk to us. As, we were playing darts there.

Nice pub with lovely garden. Unfortunately the food was awful. Had a burger and chips and the burger was too pink for me to eat. Chips weren't great but had worse.

Had a very enjoyable experience during an afternoon visit. Beer was exceptional and the food was very good. All the staff seem very friendly. Good size beer garden if the sun ever makes an appearance. Well worth visiting.So that was 2 years ago: doesn't time fly! Been back on several occasions and still a great place to eat and drink. Staff cannot do enough for you and always friendly.
Very poor service and long wait times, for a quiet Sunday lunch time (3 tables seated) server's didn't know the drinks on offer or childs menu. The roast dinners were very nice and cooked to a great standard. Shame the bad service let the whole experience down.

Just the 4 of us for a quick bite. Gotta say the beef loaded fries were fantastic! I asked for skinny fries with these and were so good.

Awful food, deplorable service, Manager in a filthy T-shirt, and completely unprepared to manage a polite complaint. A quiet lunch, we visited at 12.30. Fish and chips arrived with a chicken burger, although the order was for a bacon cheeseburger. Fish cooked in old oil, and tartare sauce had coleslaw mixed in. Cutlery arrived after asking around 5 mins after the food delivered. Burger was reordered and chicken burger sent back - new burger delivered ca 15 mins later minus bacon. We asked for mayo and ketchup with took another 10 mins. We asked to see the manager and we’re told they would call him in a minute. 10 minutes later Manager arrived and simply said he would take the burger off the bill- no apology. We paid and left. I asked for the owners name on leaving and was given a number that was incomplete - so I called again from home and was told to phone back and speak to him tomorrow. I said I would expect the owner Adam to call me back. Such businesses shouldn’t be in business.
