The Smithy Arms

Lovely pub,very comfy and fabulous staff.Food was delicious. We always pop here for a meal whilst enjoying our stay at the Slingsby Camping and Caravaning site... Definitely worth a visit..😊

Absolutely love the Smithy Arms. Friendly staff and excellent food in lovely surroundings. They have a separate Gluten Free menu. If you are driving, just be aware the car park is across the road.

Absolutely spot on for our family gathering of nine, great service and lovely welcome, we all had the Sunday lunch, By the way the Yorkshire puddings are big enough to hold a pint of gravy, super crispy and cooked to perfection. Roast beef was first class as was the Chicken dinner. Puddings were excellent, great pints of Guinness, pool table and sky sports. Highly recommended would suggest booking in advance.

Great pub ! Had grandsons christening celebration here. Perfect setting with kids outdoor play area. Lovely buffet served with lots of choice at a reasonable price. Lovely atmosphere and owner and staff couldn't be more helpful. Highly recommend.

Beef bourguignon was a bit dry.
If not dry , was drenched in red wine sauce.
Spring rolls were absolutely delicious.
Despite the beef etc , the customer service was friendly, top notch , lovely village atmosphere, so will dine in again soon.

Called in for Sunday lunch and it was excellent, good quality and an ideal size that left room for dessert. Good atmosphere and staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Booked via telephone. Very acccomodating. We were due at Castle Howard at 6, therefore wanted to eat around 4.30 however was told they dont start serving til 5 However, offered us to arrive at 3 for end of lunchtime and were told we were more than welcome to stay as.long as needed by the fire. On the day we were running late and called ahead to notify them we were 8mins away they stated not a problem thanks for calling and they would let Chef know. Arrived to a warm welcome and great homecooked food. The staff were super friendly. This fabulous traditional pub is what every village is missing, dog friendly too. Merry Christmas to The Smithy Arms Pub.

We went for a Sunday lunch it was beautiful, staff were friendly and the place was warm enough. We enjoyed the Sunday roast that we ended up booking for a new year's dinner!!
