Old Boots left this review about The Blacksmiths
A stunning 1931 deco frontage with a sadly modernised interior and much in the way of wall removal. Entering at the front, there is also a side door, a square servery with a long counter in distressed wood faces you. Two horseshoes of usual suspects with Beavertown and Camden on a separate pair of founts. In central position are a pair of pulls with a well above average Landlord on one. All the modern toys are present; multiple screens, even in the outside drinking area, games machines, constant music. To one side is a pool table while the other back side has a dart board. Mostly plain walls or exposed brick with a number of arty posters, some music related, one wall having wild wallpaper. A mix of seating with a few fancier picnic benches, mid height tables and even a bit of banquette. Board and parquet floors. Very quiet on my lunchtime visit with just a couple of old boys in a corner.

One open room with a number of real ales. Nothing above 4.5% ABV, I'm afraid.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Blacksmiths
This pub has recently been refurbished and the interior is now open plan and quite trendy. The bar faces you as you enter, which had a dark stained counter and a duck egg blue painted front. This room was carpeted and had lots of trendy and comfortable looking seating areas. The large room on the left was tastefully finished with gold coloured feature wallpaper, either side of a bare brick fireplace. The polished parquet floor also looked well in this area. Four handpumps, with only two in operation, serving Theakston XB and a Vanilla Stout.
