The Old Smithy - Speisekarte

This is the best restaurant in Eccleshall and the surrounding areas. I have never had a bad meal here. The staff are great, and the atmosphere is friendly and cozy. This has been my favorite restaurant for the past few years.

Another fantastic meal at the Old Smithy! Been to this restaurant around half a dozen times now and have never been dissapointed. Each of us choosing different meals and everyone of us blown away by the quality of the dishes. Lovely decorated restaurant and great service.

We had a wonderful meal at this restaurant in Slindon while on holiday with friends. The restaurant had a charming layout and lovely tables, and the menu, food, and drinks were all excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly and made our reunion of old friends even more enjoyable. They went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable, creating a welcoming environment and sharing laughs with our group. We only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often!

Well not the best meal I 've ever had. The starter was OK, nothing brilliant. But the main well, where should I start, fish over cooked, I had to ask for the veg, staff didn 't know how to serve correctly and when I complained the reply was oh OK no reply at all. When a written complaint was done the reply was we take your comments on board well the simplistic of meals that cannot be done right Fish chips didn 't bother with desert to be honest why bother. Guess what the place will never be visited again. Speisekarte ansehen

Had a large group for a family birthday Sunday lunch. As ever, the staff were great and very helpful. The food however was very disappointing. Quite a few of us had the roast that was poor, the beef tough and the vegetables seemed to have been sitting for some time in that they dried out somewhat. Others who had from the menu were underwhelmed. This is not how we remember The Smithy that we have been using since it opened some 10 years ago. Its a shame as we have always recommended it to others. To be honest, although its the closest to us, we will not be returning for a Sunday lunch until we hear better feedback.

On the day of our reservation, part of my family arrived early and were directed to go upstairs. However, when I arrived later, I found that our reservation had been double booked for a Baby Shower downstairs. Despite my reservation being made in July, we were forced to move downstairs without any apology from management. The staff did not handle the situation well and it was clear they prioritized the other group over us. The space we were moved to was cramped and unsuitable, making it difficult for us to enjoy our meal. This was especially challenging for my nephew who is autistic. The poor customer service and lack of consideration for our needs overshadowed the delicious food and the h...

We have eaten at The Old Smithy numerous times and used the function room for a large family celebratory meal. It has been our restaurant of choice for a number of years. Sadly, we had a meal in the restaurant last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were left bitterly disappointed. The starters were absolutely fine. However, whilst accepting that her choice of main wasn't to my wife's liking, that was a subjective assessment. Her main criticism was that the vegetables were virtually raw she couldn't cut them they were so undercooked. I chose the lamb shoulder, and although not a lean cut, I barely had any meat content as the offering was virtually all fat. We are not the type to... Speisekarte ansehen
