Blacksmiths arms in Isle of Wight

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.

We went for a meal with friends .. fantastic food and very generous portion sizes ..home cooked and fresh.. prices were very reasonable as well for the quality served. Large car park on site. Beautiful views from the garden area which is lovely to sit in on a warm day. Amazing friendly front of house and a warm welcome given .. wouldn't hesitate to return and definitely recommend.

As one of the highest reviewed pubs on the island that allow dogs I thought we would give it a try for lunch. When we arrived they were kind and accommodating showing us to a table but seemed a little shocked that we hadn't booked in advance.To be fair given that it was early March, lunch time on a Tuesday, no holidays etc, it was soo busy! I'm not surprised now I've tasted the food!I'm quite fussy, but opted to have the (huge) chicken breast with garlic butter. It was divine, melt in the mouth chicken. I've never been able to cook chicken like that. The added mushroom in the picture was from my partners mixed grill (a little oily) but still lovely. He was very impressed with the mixed grill as well, which was absolutely huge he ended up in a food coma and falling asleep when we got back to our accommodation!I fully reccomend eating here yourself, but would probably advise booking a table first!

Not sure about the best Sunday roast on the island, more like the best Sunday roast in the UK. I had the pork, but everything looked terrific. Also very good beer, and excellent (albeit slightly harassed) staff. Cannot recommend highly enough

Delicious food and a varied menu, lovely views and pleasant staff

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.

Lovely pub with large garden and lots of seating, children's play frame, great location, 180° views towards mainland.Fabulous lunch all looked and tasted homemade. Lambshank pie, half portions available, and beautiful beef brisket, vegetables and potatoes/chips.Second visit here, will definitely come again.

Came here for lunch on birthday and it was just perfect in every way! The food was exceptional, beutifully presented and generous in terms of portion size. The menu was varied with plenty of choice. We were well looked after by the staff and made to feel very welcome. The view is gorgeous. I’ll certainly be back!

We arrived at The Blacksmiths in the dark with a great veiw over and accross the valley.Every meal we had was excellent. I had a pea soup for starters and absolutely loved it. Mains, I had Lamb Rump, cooked to perfection. It had a proper amount of gravy, non of these little thimbles. I had extra portion of peas with mine. Just lovely.No puddings needed as I was stuffed, I was surprised as I like my food and can eat loads.We enjoyed a table service which was great. All the waitresses had impeccable lovable nature's and are a credit.Next time we are on the Island this will be on our hit list for a visit.Thanks to all the staff specially the chefs. Thanks.

Had a great meal with the family. Good menu with a separate specials menu on the blackboard. Very busy but the staff were working really hard and service was still prompt.The view is outstanding worth the trip alone. With a nice outside kids play area and plenty of outside seating. Recommend you book. We phoned up for a booking on Monday and couldn't get in until Friday. But based on our meal it was worth the wait.
