The Smithy Inn

Couldn't have asked for anything more. Friends recommended The Smithy and it didnt disappoint us. We took our two small dogs and they were made welcome. A great atmosphere with friendly staff was just the start. The quality of the food and the top service added to our lovely evening. Great service, great food, beat that! Don't hesitate to try it!

Amazing Food

Five of us have been working at Burton Services and needed a place for our evening meal. Doing some online research I came across the Smithy Inn, Milnthorpe Rd, Holme, Carnforth LA6 1PS.

What amazing food they do, we all had different items form the menu and everyone was happy with what they had ordered. I had the Steak pie, having eaten many pies over the years I can say this was the best ever !.

Quit often you get lumps of fat and gristle, but the Smithy Pie was just solid perfect meat.

On our next visit a few days later I had the Fish & Chips again cooked to perfection.

Our team will certainly be going back a few more times over the coming weeks while we are working in the area.

What a gem of a Public House and Restaurant, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Found this place nearly a year ago and stopped over recently for food. Did not disappoint, good menu, reasonable prices. Cake fridge looks good. Food was hot and plentiful. When we placed our order we were told straight away it would be a while. The gentleman kept us informed about the order. Not too far a detour from the M6.

First visit here
Lovely staff and great service
Plus there's a lovely beer 🍺 garden around the back 👍

Lovely place, food delicious and service excellent. Close to M6, so a nice break away from our north to south motorway journey. Recommended.

Loved it here I was very dubious when I entered as its very old fashioned and felt a bit intimidating cause everyone knew each other but we were made to feel welcome and the food was amazing I ordered Sunday dinner and it was perfect there was actually too much meat for me but not for my partner I dont say that often I hope this never changes cause it would lose that old school type pub but I got more for my money here than I would in a restaurant I was so impressed

We were absolutely delighted by the quality and speed of service on early Sunday afternoon. We had just under 1 hour to eat before our bus home arrives. The lady we spoke with gave us advice on quickest dishes and they arrived very quickly indeed. Visiting that pub was a great way to finish our walking in the countryside.
Highly recommended.

What a pleasant surprise, after walking along the canal tow path from Tewitfield.
Lovely old traditional pub with loads of character.
Friendly and welcoming staff.
Made to feel very welcome indeed.

Never had a bad meal
Food always hot home made and freshly cooked
The Chicken kiev is amazing.
Love this pub.

Welcoming pub. No pressure to dress up as everyone there from dressy, casual, biking, wellies, child and pet friendly. Food is excellent as is the service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. You visit, advisable to phone and check if you need to book a table, very popular

Great food here, no fancy nonsense just honest wholesome food with great ingredients. Very traditional British pub with very cosy, great for a drink with friends or family. Friendly owner and staff.

Brilliant as always...nothing too much trouble

Visited this traditional village pub and the interior wasn't disappointing either. Locals were all standing and sitting by the bar talking. Staff were very welcoming and shown to a table and took our drinks order. Let's get to the food.......we ordered lamb shank that came with mashed potato and a variety of fresh veg and homemade steak pie that was served with homemade chips and a variety of fresh veg (green beans, broccoli and carrots) portions were generous. There was a cake display cabinet by the tables and the cakes looked very tempting apple pie, lemon meringue pie, fudge cake, cheesecake, roulade and more........ unfortunately I was too full to manage a cake. Can't wait to visit here again!

We will be coming back, popped in for a drink. Busy with sunday lunch, but the staff made sure everyone was served promptly, and from conversations with those eating, food was of the highest standard.

Lovely ambience. Food excellent, I had 'fish & chip butty', superb! The accompanying chips were cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Came her to do the pub quiz with my family, had a really great time. Didn't order any food so can't say anything about that, but there was a good selection of drinks and the staff was really friendly. We had a really fun night and can't wait to return to do it again.

Proper old-school English pub good beer and great food and service with a smile just the off chance passing on my way back from the lake district me and my partner left reluctantly haha

Lovely place, friendly staff, excellent food,A1 experience

Amazing chicken in tarragon and lemon meringue pie. Warm, cosy and welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

A really great local pub with plenty of seating in the bar and restaurant areas. A good choice of meals with themed specials on most nights Wednesday night is curry night. Very helpful waiting and bar staff who will happily take your order.
