We had our wedding reception here on Saturday the 2nd June 2018 and had exclusive use of the entire venue.
From inital booking all the way through to the day the team have been incredible. The venue is very tastful and classy (accommodation is beautifully designed). The food was exceptional, alot of the guests told us it was the best wedding breakfast they have ever tasted.
The waiting staff were extremely helpful and made sure we were all looked after the entire day/ night. The front of house manager mark and elisha the events manager take the standard of customer service to another level and are a credit to the place (mark even taxied some guests home for free) to ensure our day went smoothly.
We had an amazing day and thankyou to everyone at the blacksmiths for creating a great atmosphere and a massive shout out to the head chef and his team for the exquisite food during the day and evening.
Cant wait to return now we are married for a nice evening meal...
Spent our wedding anniversary here and it was amazing. The room was beautiful. The foid amazing but the best part is the staff. Made us feel so welcome and like friends. Thanks to Mark for going that extra mile for us you are a star!
See u all soon x
Polite and friendly staff, escorted us to our booked table. Excellent menu choices and the quality of the food was outstanding, well kept cask ale, highly recommended.
This was my first visit here after reading many wonderful reviews & recommendations from friends & colleagues.
We booked in advance as it gets really busy. We arrived were seated quickly & our drinks order taken. The menu is vast & they had 2 amazing specials board so lots of choice to suit all tastes.
The food followed & wow was we impressed. We both had the souffle to start, this was very impressive & tasted amazing. For mains I had the chicken stuffed with choritzo wrapped in parma ham served in a lovely red pepper sauce, served with chips & my friend had the venison he said it was totally amazing.
Highly recommend here, lovely atmosphere lovely staff will definately be back again soon 10 /10
We were spoilt for a large choice of variety of food. Food is 9.5/10. You can only get better meals only in food specific places but then you don't get this huge variety. If you want to please everyone in your family or your friends then this is the right place. Book by phone in advance. The staff is professional. Portions are very large. 100% recommend
Wonderful choice of food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely dine there again.👍👍
We had an excellent meal, the seafood platter was to die for and the venison loin cooked to perfection. We will definitely make this our 'go to' restaurant.
Hard to decide on 4 or 5 stars for this place, however decided on 4... Location is in a gorgeous little village, quite a way off the main road to Gainsborough, not a place you will pass, you have to know its there, and you could easily drive past so keep your eyes peeled!
Food is expensive but kinda worth it; tasted good and was well presented. We had mussels, calamari and mushrooms on toast to start, no complaints, all lovely. For main we had rack of spring lamb, calves liver and the seafood mixed grill. The lamb although tasted good and was nice and pink, I think the fat could have done with more rendering to crisp it up a bit. I found the calves liver dish a tad rich and a bit too salty, but that could just be me.. The best dish was the seafood mixed grill, lots of meaty pieces of fish and the price wasn't too bad either, definitely the best value.
Service was excellent; friendly and just attentive enough.
The food and service never disappoints here. The selection on the menu boards are emense. On our last visit, we had chateaubriand, it was amazing and came with all the usual extras. If you're looking for somewhere to eat, this is a must.... you'll never be disappointed.
Thank you

The best food I have ever eaten. And a beautiful place. Highly recommended..
Love this place, fantastic food and service. Haven't stayed over so haven't rated the accommodation but hoping to change that soon!
Amazing food in a great restaurant. The rooms are incredible and Rachel and Jonathan could not do enough to look after my colleague who stayed for a few nights.
