Characterful riverside pub delivering reliable fish and chips, crowd-pleasing Thai dishes, and warm service; expect busy periods and occasional service delays.
The Blacksmiths Arms delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by excellent Thai curries and fish and chips, paired with warm, attentive service that regulars return for. Consistency challenges during busy periods—occasional slow kitchen times and oily dishes—prevent a higher grade, though the charming riverside setting and fair pricing make it competitive with respected local favorites.
One caveat: Peak-time waits up to an hour have been reported; consider booking or arriving early
