Graham Coombs left this review about Blacksmiths Arms
You can tell from the outside this is an unpretentious locals' pub and so it proved to be. There is one rectangular room, with the counter down one side and a pool table at the back, plus various sports screens and a liberal sprinkling of footy flags and scarves. Sadly the two handpumps have been relegated to blue roll holders but the superannuated Geordies supping their John Smiths Smooth at £3.50 didn't seem to mind. An adequate boozer but nothing worth drinking.

A good traditional pub with a slightly older regulars crowd of an afternoon. Becomes a music venue at weekends and is a good place to watch sport. Ales featured were Black Sheep and Sharps Doom Bar, which was good.
