We have enjoyed a delicious meal and drinks with friends, the comfortable outdoor seating area was a bonus in the hot weather. The food was very good, and well priced. The local burgers and steak were a hit, and the perfect calamari made us want to come back for more. We reached the Smith's Arms after a very pleasant walk on the canal, we will be back.
Popped in for some lunch after reading reviews. Glad I did. Very pleasent country pub. Home cooked food. Made to feel very welcome as a solo walker. Had homemade steak and kidney pudding which was on the specials board for £12.95. It was very nice and steak melted in mouth. Toilets very clean and nicely decorated. Will visit again.
Called friday lunchtime. Very quiet, me my wife and two men. This is a lovely pub . Not a large menu , pub basics. Two meals were scampi and chips and regular burger. Both very nice. Very resonable prices.
We were camping just up the road and the campsite owner recommended popping in. So we did and the food was lovely. I have to recommend the steak and ale pie 🥧 👌
A lovely pub set in a nice location.
Staff here were very welcoming and friendly, the food was cooked really well and was delicious. Great family run pub, definitely recommend to others.
The person behind the bar was lovely, she welcomed me and my dog, she also provided fresh water and dog biscuits.
I only popped in for a quick drink and to use the loo.
Thank you bar person/landlady for being so nice.
Lots of food choice on the menu at very reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Ideal outside dining area with plenty of seating.

A lovely pub. Amazing atmosphere with friendly staff. Food is very good at a reasonable price. Easy access with plentiful parking. No events were on while we were there but it seems like it would be the perfect venue for some. Will come again
Really tasty, well priced food, friendly and efficient staff in a comfortable, modern and clean country pub. What more could you ask for? First time we've visited in over a decade and will definitely not be leaving it as long until the next visit. Definitely recommended.
We've heard that The Smith's Arms has got new landlords and decided to give it another chance after previous bad experience. It was lovely to see the place full and lively again. The new landlords are very friendly and welcoming. The menu has a lot to choose from and the food is very reasonably priced. The starters were tasty and well presented. So were the mains. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the meat in my Sunday roast was a bit cold. As if it's been carved some time earlier and not before serving it. Everything else was great and piping hot. We didn't order desserts but we saw people around us getting some and they looked fab. Next time we'll definitely try them too.
All in all a great improvement since the new landlords have taken over. Keep up the good work.
Recently taken over (last 6 months or so)
Food has really improved and it is again becoming a focal point for the community.
Entertainment every couple of weeks quiz/singer and DJ party nights.
Well worth a visit if in the area.

Good food plesent staff clean and tidy was early on in night so quiet pub
Lovely 'down to earth' country pub serving good old fashioned pub grub. Welcoming environment with real log fires. Great service and good homely food, served promptly and piping hot. Well worth a visit.
Lovely afternoon sat outside this lovely place. Food excellent. Service great.
Friendly welcome on a Sunday stroll and a great pint in the sunshine 🌞
Great food and super friendly helpful staff. Desert menu looked good but we were full after our meal.
Lovely pub and food was magnificent. The children loved their food and the ice dessert was yummy
Called in for a bite and a beer, great place lovely food
Made more than welcome.
We actually sat near the real log fire which made it nice an cosy.
Outside the weather was pants.
We got a drink and i was advised to try the hand pump but decided to have a pint of Wainwright which was nice, the boss had wine which she said was nice too.
We asked if food was still available as it wasn't that busy mainly cos of the weather.
The answer was yes.
We both went for the " steak & ale pie " after a short while it turn up.
The steak in the pie which we were told had just been made was great large chunks of meat which melted in your mouth
The food was hot and cooked to order which is a good thing.
After the meal we left mainly cos we had to drive home
If your free on 15th October there is a motown and soul night but there are singers and pub quiz on other nights
Might be worth a trip out for food and a little bit of good music
We'll be back for sure
Great food, nice pub, landlord/landlady welcoming and warm on a winters evening
