Reviews in Warwickshire

I 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.

Went 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.

Lovely food

Had 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

Lovely food and great service once again, the staff were a little busy, which was to be expected as we went on a "eat out to help out" night. Tom even had time to come over and talk which is always good conversation. #supportyourlocal #appreciatethestaff

I’m afraid my review is as bad as all the others. Booked a table for Sunday at 4pm, just for drinks. Wasn’t asked if we wanted indoor or outside but we’re put outside. It was very cold out there, we asked to out the heaters on but was told they weren’t working. It was like a crèche outside with kids screaming and running riot, no social distancing . We used the app to order our drinks which took 30 mins to come, very small choice of gin which I was very surprised and disappointed with. Won’t be rushing back there in a hurry !!!

The 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

Food and service were fine just the lighting where we were sat made it difficult to see

I went here on the last Eat out to help out night. The staff did not seem flustered by how busy it was, the wait for food was not long at all and the price was amazing. It was a really nice atmosphere, the place appeared clean and the staff helpful. A really nice pub to go to and really good pub grub :D

5 star

family of four visited, good food all plates empty, table service excellent. social distancing at the bar could be improved or table service for drinks would be better, but overall very good

Had sunday lunch,excellant!...top,food friendly staff as allways and a great all round pub!

lovely food great service ,would highly recommend

The staff were great, helpful and went the extra mile for us with service. The atmosphere was dark and tired looking, we’ve been going to the Old Smithy for years and this time it is evident the place needs a lick of paint and a refresh. The corner we were sat in was so dark we had to use our phones to read the menu. There were a number of flies, spiders and bugs in the corners. And my favourite lamb chops has been reduced from a pound of lamb chops to three wafer thin dry small lamb chops...:(

I had my fourth visit to the Old Smithy since the lockdown was ended. I went with various members of my family. We were all absolutely satisfied with everything. The first three visits were during the half price period and the last visit not. The food was wonderful, the standard of cleanliness was first rate, service, although a bit slow was very good. Social distancing was evident with hand sanitizers available. Well done Old Smithy and staff. I like the idea of being able to book on line too.
