Food was awful very slow service and atmosphere was not very welcoming will not be visting again any time soon

Food was really nice, haven't been for such a long time after regularly visiting. Food was well presented and a very filling plate too. Service seemed a little chaotic at times but as everyone adjusts to new rules it's to be expected.

Food was very good, service very friendly but slow, we had to grab someone to ask for a drink and order meal as we were being ignored.

Great food at a really good price. Service was very efficient too. Will most definitely be back for more

Great atmosphere, staff are very friendly. The manager/owner was very funny! Food was very good and great value for money but make sure you go hungry as big portions! Good COVID measures in place .

Everything was as usual very good.Plenty of space between other diners,and service was very efficient.

Excellent food and good service

Visited had a lovely meal all 4 steaks perfectly cooked - lots of covid measures in place felt very comfortable lovely evening

Simple illustrated menu pub grub. Doesnt pretend to be anything else!

Very good service, friendly greeting on arrival. Food very good and quick service. COVID precautions in place nice atmosphere and would definitely go back

Very Polite staff, food was fast and perfect as always. Very clean and covid precautions followed. Asked for a certain area to eat in booking and they sorted it.

Great food and very good service using the app. All arrived quickly even though they were busy. Only negative is the flies and ants within the conservatory area where we ate. I understand the need to open windows and doors but excessive flies and ant swatting does spoil a meal. We did notice others swatting the flies away. Such a shame as the food and staff were perfect

Great food and good service - this was my first visit but I will definitely be back

I have been using this pub since the mid 1960s when it was known as the White Lion, privately owned by Michael and Erica ( forgotten their surname ) In those days it was purely, as many others were, simply a drinking pub. A restaurant was added in the 70s/80s we even had our wedding reception there. Today it is still a great venue, good food at affordable prices, and a huge choice. We felt very safe under the present circumstances, tables well spaced, excellent service, and polite staff.

We have been desperate to come back here for a while it’s always been a firm favourite for food!! During lockdown we had our first child and obviously with the restrictions we couldn’t go but we went on the 29th May and the staff were exceptional as always! The manager was awesome! It was also my very first time ordering steak whilst out and it was AMAZING! It was just everything we wanted for our first ever meal as a family of 3! Made our weekend! Thank you to the team at The Old Smithy!

Love it here, great little pub out the way with everyone friendly. Used the app to order and the drinks came out soon after so very quick service. Only down point was our food was over cooked rather than other times but that's the first time out of many visits

Manager lovely we were greeted and taken care of by him, his staff on the other hand really need to cheer up faces and attitudes like wet weekends,food was ok wasn’t that impressed I was given all the hype that the food was amazing my steak was like a old boot and still mooing asked for no blood came out like a Murder scene tried don’t think will try again

Came on Monday with my husband and son,great meal as always,we were all happy.lady that served us was very attentive so service was good,shame about the older lady though walking about,always looks miserable and everything is an effort if you ask anything but other than that we were happy
