"We booked as a family of five for Sunday lunch as a treat for my elderly father in law. Wasn't particularly busy and we had booked in advance. Firstly, our names were't reserved and we were given a table at the front of house where it was noisy. I asked to be moved and the waiting staff moved us to the back of restaurant. Even better as quieter. But then, we were left! Ignored by the waiting staff and we constantly had to ask to be served. And we are a patient, accepting and non complaining family! The food was very basic and my vegetarian nut roast tasted like it was microwaved. It tasted more like a fried nut burger. The portions for the beef and vegetables were reasonable. We waited so long for the plates to be taken away we eventually looked for a waiting staff and called them over. Again, more waiting (very patiently) for the dessert menu and empty drinks glasses left on the table. It was dreadful. The waiting staff kept looking over and appeared to want to talk to each other/ ignore us. I could understand if the place was busy but it wasn't. I was disappointed as this could be a wonderful place. The restaurant area is comfortable and surroundings are very pleasant. Whilst the food is basic, it could be a great place for family Sunday lunch. I would be very reluctant to visit again with family or friends. The waiting staff really let us down on this visit sadly. There are so many other places in the Vale that offer better service than the Blacksmiths Arms."

We enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. The food was very good. I had gammon which was well cooked, and succulent. My husband had sausage and mash which was very flavoursome. A really pleasant experience.

Never fails to deliver. Beautiful food, really good quality and doesnt break the bank either. Great selection of drinks, cater for children, lovely outside seating when we do have good weather and the staff are just lovely. We go back time and time again. Cant recommend enough :

I'm so glad the pub we were originally going to had stopped serving or we wouldn't have come here and had such amazing food. My boyfriend had the Signature Burger and chips, I had steak pie and mash. Both came piping hot and tasted fantastic and the service throughout was great. Only downside was that we were too full for dessert!!!! Highly recommended, can't wait to go back.

A little disappointed on this occasion. The mains were great but it all fell apart over dessert. We ordered 3 desserts, 2 of which required custard. Apparently they'd run out only had a very tiny drop left to share between 2. However, this had unfortunately been served in a dirty gravy boat that was still covered in gravy around the top!! Once this was pointed out though the staff were very apologetic and didn't charge for the desserts. An unfortunate thing to happen but they were hugely busy and run off their feet. We will return and would still recommend.

Booked a table, but when arriving the bar staff unsure as to what table so told to sit anywhere. Waited 15 mins for order to be taken, 45 mins for food, it was not that busy, with three waiting staff. 'Roast dinner with all the trimmings ' two courses for £11.95 turned out to be either turkey or beef. Beef was a boil in the bag portion, yorkshires burnt, 1 potato cut in half not cooked long enough was the roast potatoes, 3 small boiled potatoes, 1 half of a parsnip, 1 sprig of broccoli, a few small carrots and about 15 peas. We had to share a very small tub of veg between us. And a quick apology for the delay when the food arrived. The 'warm ' choc and orange pudding was cold. Service was sl...

This was a first visit since being taken over by new people. We found them to be very friendly, but a few things could have been better. Drinks order take promptly and plenty of time to study menu. Starters came quite quickly, but no cutlery and this took a whole to appear, food in the meantime cooling, I had a prawn cocktail with the unusual combination of toast which was rather burnt, prawn cocktail was ok, but no cucumber or tomato. I then had a Barnsley chop, cooked to perfection and husband had am steak which was also cooked to his liking. During our meal no one came to ask if everything was ok with the meal, it was busy, so if there had been a problem, would have been a problem getting...
