The owner of the Blacksmiths, Ali Moran. says he took over in 2021 and “wanted to continue the strong links we have with local producers. Whether it’s game from nearby shoots, the beef from local farmers, or the gin and tonics behind the bar.” The pub was commended in 2024 by a lobby group of North York Moors grouse shoots for putting ‘grouse’ on the menu, despite admitting what a terrible breeding year it had been for these beautiful native birds (can’t let that stop the shooting industry from rolling on), and gratingly (but showing just where he expects his business to come from) Mr Moran names the three rooms available at his pub after birds his clients will be shooting dead when they go (to quote) “exploring the North Yorkshire Moors”, a ‘national park’ that appears increasingly to be little more than a playground for the hunting and shooting tourist.
