Smiths Arms

Head out towards Beckwithshaw and you'll find yourself at the Smiths Arms, a proper neighbourhood local that takes its food seriously without pretending to be something it's not. It's the kind of place where you can rock up for a casual pint and a pie, or settle in for something more considered—the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between relaxed and welcoming, where regulars and visitors mix easily, and the sort of crowd you'd actually want to sit near.
