Not really surprised about the Blacksmith's landlord's attitude.... only went in there once, didn't eat, just drinks, which themselves were underwhelming and overpriced. I think you needed someone fluent in Serbo-Croat to decipher the menu... all poncey and, IMO, out of place in what should be a cozy rural pub. I may be misinformed, but I heard that the owner is ex-BA cabin crew.
The Click'em is nearer to me, and as others have said, better food, better ales, (multiple CAMRA award-winner,) and a far less pretentious atmosphere.
