I've now been sent the menu from the blacksmiths arms for our dinner.

They've confirmed that the menu will be £22 per person. I'll post the menu here later today, it certainly looks to be as good as last year.

There's a sizeable carpark around the back, although I seem to remember that it's hard to not block each other in...

Yep there is a car park to the rear of the pub and it does get a bit crowded.
I seem to remember someone saying there is an overflow carp park about 100 yards away.  I had a look at streetview and it looks like the car park for the park/playing field although there is a sign that says "locked at dusk" - There's also a width restriction, I will try and check it out tomorrow to see if the van will fit cos it won't go in the pub car park  :-?
