Goldsmiths Arms

Came across this pub recently and been a few times. I generally had a great time at this pub overall! The ambiance was cozy, and the drinks were spot on. However, there was one new worker named Jordan, who seemed inseparable from his phone when working and I dunno, but is it normal for someone to wear their fedora hat whilst working? Dunno but it seemed weird to me, looked like he was ready for Goodwood Revival Penge style... or perhaps trying to organise it with his calls. Hadn't seen him there before. On the bright side... Ryan, Maddie and Helen were a delight! (I think they were the names). The always provide excellent service, made our Saturday all the more enjoyable. Apart from the occasional "hat-and-phone show" by Jordan, the pub was a wonderful place to unwind. I highly recommend visiting.

Nicest of the local pubs in the area, according to multiple sources. Nice decor and interior design that is eclectic and fun as well as purposeful. A reasonable selection of drinks and friendly efficient service, in my experience. Plenty of comfortable seating inside with lots of space, and especially in the heat of the summer, a large garden with a couple of dozen picnic benches, pop-up exterior bar and barbecue for food, when in season. I didn't try the food so cannot comment. Kitchen is open until 22.00 and they offer standard burgers for £10. Live music, jam nights once a month, quiz nights, and great nearby public transport within spitting distance (please avoid spitting at the people in the bus queue). Recommended for a great night, as evidenced by the numbers of large parties.
