Great meal and service from the team at the Old Smithy. Extensive menu on offer to suit everyone. Food hot and cooked well. nothing too much trouble for the servers who work in a friendly and professional manner. Would recommend and we will certainly be going back
The Old Smithy – RugbyFood was fantastic can’t wait to go back again try some more off the menu me and my partner had tapas it was delicious. Staff friendly couldn’t fault our visit.
The Old Smithy – RugbyWe visited on the Thursday 10th September And the meal was really lovely as always Have no complaints what so ever we will be visiting again soon
The Old Smithy – RugbyA delayed review, but one I think is needed. I have visited several times but not recently until “help out” scheme. The food and service has always been amazing. My visit in august was the first time I had any issues....this doesn’t mean a bad review! The bar and wait staff were amazing and couldn’t do more to help, same said for the manager. All very attentive, cleaning and politely reminding patrons of SD rules. They were very busy and my meal wasn’t as good I know it usually is, however those mentioned above more than up for this with the service provided. I had my meal replaced and I refused compensation....so my arm was gently bended to take a bottle of wine home. Superb service and quality food. Could not recommend more!
The Old Smithy – RugbyI have been coming here for years. The staff are always friendly and willing to help. Special measures in place due to COVID-19, so felt very safe. With regards to the meal, having not eaten out all year! I was very disappointed with the meal as the chicken was over cooked and all burnt on the bottom so it just tasted awful. I am hoping it is a one-off but sadly I will not be going back as it was not value for money.
The Old Smithy – RugbyGood pub grub on the whole and excellent value. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak however which he said was perfectly cooked and could have passed as a dish in a high end restaurant. Clear measures in place to deal with physical distancing.
The Old Smithy – RugbyShame the offers have disappeared. Food & service was very good but will not be going back as there was no attempt to take details for track & trace. I also prefer it when waiting staff wear a mask especially when they got so close - did not feel safe.
The Old Smithy – RugbyGreat menu choice !! Ambiance is lovely and staff always willing to help. Will be coming again guys . Thank you .
The Old Smithy – RugbyWhat can I say, for the last twelve months, we have been eating here every weekend and we are still eating here. If that's not a recommendation I don't know what is.
The Old Smithy – RugbyLovely meal, relaxed atmosphere
The Old Smithy – RugbyHave used this pub for years, serious value for pub grub, always good, staff friendly, had Xmas dinner there last year too. My favourite pub.
The Old Smithy – RugbyVery good food and was socially distancing well. All staff were wearing masks when they came near us which kept us safe. Food was brilliant and came out quickly. We will definitely be booking again.
The Old Smithy – RugbyArrived and staff very welcoming. Ordered food from an extensive menu, which I first thought was expensive. Then the food arrived. Big piece of chicken, which was cooked lovely, and tasted great. Then we had pudding which was lovely. Overall a great meal and friendly, polite staff.
The Old Smithy – RugbyHand sanitizer available at entry. A warm welcome upon entering the restaurant, taken to our seat. Service was good, didn't have to wait long for food(this was on a Friday night). We had a selection of tapas followed by minted pork chops and fajitas. All piping hot. Excellent all round.
The Old Smithy – RugbyI booked a table here on Wednesday the second of September. I was talking with a friend about grabbing food and he immediately said this place was great. I can honestly say I've never felt more like my parents. The level of disappointment is incomprehensible. The steak tasted like water, the pork was as tough as a 60's porn stars labia and the lamb chop.... less said the better. I could have dealt with the food not being the best as the lady serving us was lovely, but the level of bluebottle flies in the restaurant felt biblical. I felt like I was at a disco my arms were moving so much trying to get them away from me. Overall it wasnt the best experience, but I will say the staff were lovely.
The Old Smithy – RugbyWent there for lunch on 2nd September and food was excellent and service good. Took names on entry and serving staff wore masks. Had a minor issue of a few flies around the place but its a more rural place so expect that.
The Old Smithy – RugbyHad an excellent meal at The Old Smithy with my husband and son. Starters, main course, dessert and Irish coffees were lovely. Staff were polite and efficient, checking we were happy with our meal. Thank you
The Old Smithy – RugbyThe meal we had was amazing really enjoyed it The service was good even though they were rushed off their feet We will definitely go back again
