  “Absolutely loved the place, what makes this place great is the team working behind it and the location. Food was incredible and very generous portions and worth every penny. Parking sometime can be tricky because of the location but don't mind walk a bit to get to the place. Dog friendly, would definitely come again.”

  “Really lovely food. Gorgeous place. I think the service could have been a bit better. I was on my own and felt like the customer service I received was not the same standard as those in couples or larger, which to be fair seems to be a theme at a lot of food places!”

  “We came on BH Monday for brunch. At first we stood at the ‘please waited to be seated sign’ no one greeted us or helped us to be seated. After finding a table and having to find our own chairs we sat down. Order taken. We then waited over 90 minutes for the food to arrive. At no point were we told there would be a long wait or did anyone come to the table to inform us of a wait or apologise. After complaining we were told there was one table ahead of us and then it would be ours. 15 mins later still no food. Asked again. Was told they were very busy and they are now advising people of long waits. I’m the meantime other tables being served who came in after us. We were not offered further drinks/water. And then when we came to pay they had added £12 service charge which we declined to pay. Will not be returning. Food was fine but nothing special. They could have made it better with an apology and better communication but didn’t.”

  “Great location, with a lovely atmosphere and even better food. Cakes were fantastic and the coffees best we’ve had in a long time. Service was friendly and attentive even though it was deservedly busy. Would definitely recommend.”

  “We had breakfast at Barnshaw smithy on the 23 .4.2026 very nice breakfast i paid the bill thought it was a bit expensive. When i got home i checked the price of the menu on the website and was over charged. Next morning i whent back and was told there was a increase in price. But to my shock the menu on the table was still old price. They said they're having new ones printed there was no mention about a increase the day before or a note on the table to let people know. So they are charging customers more than it was on the menu. I was charged £11.80 over priced. how long as this been going on for and how many customers have been over charged. That must run into hundreds if not more. Will not be going again if they think they can do that to customers. Please checker your Bill. Very bad indeed”

  “Popped in for lunch for our first visit, food was lovely and the surroundings are beautiful. Quiet country setting , very pretty indeed. Paid the bill but noticed when we got home they'd overcharged us by over 20% on what we ordered. Won't rush back. Keep an eye on your bill .”

  “I have been visiting here for about 7 years and until now have never considered writing a review for one of my family’s favourite go to places. Over the years the food quality has been top notch. Service is always magnificent and attentive. There is always a buzz about the place. Today my two daughters and I had a variety of offerings. Pancakes with syrup. Poached eggs on sourdough with a sausage and I plumped for the Eggs Benedict. All delicious as expected. Barnshaw Smithy has consistently served up some of the best food we try in our travels around the local area. Well done everyone. See you all again very soon.”

  “Good mixture of traditional and modern, I had a breakfast Burrito. Food quality very high and prices are competitive. Chunky chips also very good with aioli. They have got a reasonable size car park but obvs it could fill up at busy times. Dogs are allowed in the down stairs area.”
