The Blacksmith's Arms is a historic and picturesque pub located on high ground amid beautiful countryside. It also has a well laid out garden and has previously featured in the National Gardens Scheme. Dogs are welcome in the bar area. In recent years there has been an annual festival of performing arts. The pub's website details the history of the building which stretches back to 1628 when a farm house and stables were erected. It became an alehouse in 1729 and was owned by a blacksmith's family business. The pub can be easily reached using the R5/R10 bus service but the service is infrequent so checking the timetable is recommended.

Closing times may be subject to variation and the pub may close earlier than the times specified.

Historic Interest

Built in 1628, this was originally a farm dwelling with stables. Operating as both a farm and a blacksmiths in the 17th C, this eventually became solely a blacksmiths until 1729, whereupon it started to operate in addition as an ale house (replacing the nearby Anvil ale house, which was demolished following a fire in 1727). In 1781, this became an inn and later, in 1878, this also became a posting house. Harry Relph, who later became famous as music hall star "Little Tich" was born here in 1867, whilst his father was the landlord. Owned by the Fleet Brewery until 1865, this was later owned by the Dartford Brewery.
