"I booked a party to celebrate my daughter's baptism at Blacksmith Arms. From the moment I enquired, until we left the pub after the event, all I received was a fantastic five star service! Ian, the pub manager, let me set up the room the night before which ensured everything was how I would like it for the day. Additionally, he catered to all of my needs and requests for food, ensuring there was an excellent spread and variety of food that met the needs of anyone with allergies also. Ian and Chris' idea of a buffet ensures that no guest will go hungry! He truly does put on an excellent buffet. Chris Seale, the chef, is absolutely fabulous. He is so professional and his food is excellent. The guests raved about his chicken bites, wedges and sausage rolls in particular but it was all so lovely. People even wanted to take some of the left over food home for their families it was that good! Chris went above and beyond to help me on the day and the night before when he helped me set up the room. I cannot thank him enough. Simon, who was there on the day, was so friendly, polite and hardworking. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He put myself and all the guests at ease. Agian, thank you Simon. The staff even did a raffle where the money raised went to my daughter. How special and kind that thought was and something I could never forget. Whether you are after a quick drink, some food or an event, I would not hesitate to recommend you use the Blacksmith Arms. A truly five star experience!"
