The Blacksmiths Arms - Hambleton

Once again, I enjoyed a delicious meal in a welcoming atmosphere. I make sure to visit every Friday for the best fish and chips around.

The staff at this restaurant gave us a warm and friendly welcome. They were willing to accommodate us even though the kitchen was closing. They were happy to let us park our campervan in their carpark, unlike another pub in the village that had unwelcoming staff and lost our business. The atmosphere was friendly, the beers were great, the food was delicious, and overall it was a fantastic country pub experience. Thank you.

We rated the gardens a 1 out of 5, as that was the only part of the restaurant we experienced. We came across the restaurant on Trip Advisor and since it was nearby, we thought it would be a good choice. However, when we arrived at 2pm on Friday, September 8th, we were informed that the restaurant had already closed at 2 o’clock. This was surprising given that the listed hours for Fridays were supposed to be from 12:00 to 11pm. Unfortunately, all we were able to get was drinks.

Popped in after a recommendation. Locals and staff friendly and had a nice atmosphere. Meal was typical pub food which came out piping hot! Chips were delicious!

A first class example of what a village pub should be. Warm welcome from the landlord, a lot of laughs and great craic with the locals round the bar. Our waitress at table was very friendly, highly efficient and a real hoot. My pint of Wainrights gold was lovely, and my wife enjoyed a big glass of pinot, both prior to our meal. The food is pub grub, very well cooked and presented, and served in generous proportions. Steak and ale pie with fresh veg and new potatoes was excellent. So impressed after our first visit we returned the following evening and again were very happy with the whole experience. Well done boys and girls.
