This pub is beautiful, the facade is gorgeous and the inside has so much charm. I think the service could improve and food wise it was fine. It was busy when we got there and it got even busier after 30 minutes. I would recommend it!

I have been twice to this pub whilst staying in a nearby hotel and had excellent food and service both times. The food is delicious and so good to see independent home cooked food rather than chain pub food. My first visit I had Salt and Chilli Chicken as a starter (see picture) and it was really good and a decent size too. For my main I had the beef burger which in my excitement to eat it I forgot to take a picture! It was simply lovely. This week I had whitebait starter (see picture) and the Thai Green Chicken Curry with jasmine rice. Again I was too busy tucking into the superb curry…

I had a delightful experience at the Blacksmiths Arms pub in Rotherhithe! The place exudes a homely vibe with great character, making you feel right at home. The staff were all wonderful, with Lily being exceptionally helpful and friendly. She made the visit even more enjoyable with her attentive service. As for the food, it was simply great, offering both quality and taste that left me thoroughly satisfied. Highly recommend for a cozy evening out or a hearty meal in a charming setting!

Great local bar with amazing service. Everyone is nice and the vibe is very welcoming. I had the burger and fries they were delicious. The draft beer was also excellent. I’m staying at the Hilton next door but def eating there for the rest of my trip. Hilton restaurant does not even come close and it’s double the price.

Beautiful pub at the heart of Rotherhithe. Plenty of comfortable seating inside and a front and back terrace. As pretty inside as outside on the picture. For the price I’d make that frozen strawberry daiquiri double the size, but nothing is perfect. Looking forward to trying the Sunday Roast.
