The Blacksmiths Inn reviews

1 Star Review by Col

The sign said 'Coldest beer' but the bar was closed. Toilets for customers only, which I would have been if i could have got a beer. No idea when it will reopen. Looks pretty run down.

3 Star Review by Kim Farley

Stopped in and got a pizza, very nice. The team that work there were very friendly and made you feel welcome.

4 Star Review by Brook C

Driving down from QLD to VIC, had to stop in for somr fuel. Pretty nice little servo and has a tavern attached that looks fantastic, and packed with character, but seens to be closed for the time being. Got a takeaway pie, which was surprisingly good. I hope they reopen their bar and restaurant soon - Looks like a great place to get lunch or dinner.

5 Star Review by Michelle Dalton

Good on ya Tony, pizza nights great idea, great pizzas, but that bread loaf was the absolute best. Thank you..

3 Star Review by Sharon Jones

Fuel was expensive, but essential. Despite that, no toilet facilities for customers. We very inconveniently had to return to the community facilities where there was no parking for cravanners! And turning around was difficult with a large caravan in tow and we had no idea if we continued on if we would have been able to turn. Needs much more orgnisation!

Talk about run down and unwelcoming this place takes the cakes wow no food other pies and beer and fuel

2 Star Review by Brendon Black

While we sat here and had our boot sole pizza, multiple groups came and left without purchasing . Pizza, pies and sausage rolls is as good as it gets evidently. They even have a sign calling themselves a cafe...

5 Star Review by Tomas Dominguez

Good place to spend one or two nights with the camper, the people in the bar are friendly.

3 Star Review by Chrissy Wilson

I wasn't happy that the only form of payment was at the bouser where I had to swipe my card and specify how much I was going to spend......it's a bit hard to know that when your fill your tank up, so you put in the maximum and if you don't use that much it they will release the leftover funds back into your acc within 24 hours(apparently)I had a lucky guess with my total so I can't comment on if it was true or not.... the guy said this is the way of the future....well I hope not
