The Blacksmiths Arms

Service is good, you will see beautiful, amazing playground for children. Eating is also nice, so would definitely recommend. Parents can actually eat a meal and enjoy a drink!

Wonderful countryside pub, friendly service, gorgeous food and even view of the sea in the back of the scenery if one sits outside. I had a swordfish burger which was divine.

Another visit to this great venue. Amazing food and service as always. Vegan choice was amazing. Highly recommend Newchurch Pie. Amazing views across the Island

It was lovely. Lovely staff. Amazing meal. Really good prices. It was our first visit but a great place to spend our anniversary! I had pork belly, other half had katsu curry. Puddings were salted caramel cheesecake and I had chocolate fondant! Tasted so good, really generous portions too! The place was very cosy and quaint.

Heading out to the Theatre, thought we would re-visit one of our favourite eateries first, and yet again the experience was lovely throughout. Have to say, booking is essential, as they fill tables easily. With the picturesque landscape from the dining area it 's no wonder. We 'd never been seated in the window tables before, so this just added to the experience, and watching the weather pass along the Solent was wonderful. The Blacksmiths have a specials board and however inviting the options looked, I was rather famished, so the mixed grill was my only real option. (sure the 16oz T Bone would 've filled the hole, but fancied variety The missus choosing the smaller option of the Pork Belly, leaving room for dessert. It was beautiful, cooked to perfection, medium rare my preference and accompanied by a pint of Inch 's Cider, our server, friendly, approachable and nothing was too much trouble. The Pork Belly, I 'm informed melted in the mouth and was also delicious with creamed mash and veg. Dessert, I 'm usually a starter main man, but seeing a White Chocolate and Raspberry Creme Brulee ' held me to indulge my sweet side. My Gem opting for the highly anticipated Strawberry Pavlova with Chantilly Cream. Both desserts were presented beautifully and were delicious, leaving both of us full and totally satisfied. We cannot rate The Blacksmiths high enough on our 'I.O.W must eat at ' list as their team are amazing, food is lovely and the locale is beautiful. You simply must try here.
