Smithy, Barrow

Family run free house with an eclectic mix of vintage and antique furniture and rugs.

After being closed for many years the pub was re-opened in April 2017 and has been tastefully refurbished whilst retaining many original features. There is plenty of room inside and it has a relaxed atmosphere for both diners and drinkers. There is a beer garden to the rear of the pub well away from passing traffic.

Food is locally sourced and appears to be popular. Beer choice is from Greene King range.

‘Renovation Story’ from pub website:

“Attempts by locals to raise funds to reopen as a community run pub after six years closure were unsuccessful but it was clear that the residents of Charlton Musgrove and surroundings were crying out for the pub to be saved.

New owner Rebecca stepped in and injected life and warmth back into the much-loved old Inn.

Dating to the early 1800’s, the building was in a sad state of disrepair when Rebecca finally got the keys in June 2016. Over a nine month period, Rebecca and a team of skilled local craftsmen set about totally gutting and redesigning the interior layout, re-positioning the bar and making exciting discoveries such as the feature fireplace that is now the centrepiece to the lounge area. She also spent time searching local auctions and salvage yards to find interesting decor pieces including the tables and bar top which have been made using reclaimed cheese boards from Wyke Farm in nearby Wyke Champflower.”
