The Blackbird Inn

Pleasant welcome, food tasty but long wait and we had to chase it up. Several tables served before us for no obvious reason. Also, we'd asked when booking (very early) for quieter table but were in the doorway which everyone has to pass.

We had a lovely meal and experience when we visited the Blackbird. The food was reasonably priced and we all enjoyed our meals. We will be returning.

We sat for a while before someone came to take our order , the food came quick and it was nice ,

Good food and great service. Kids meal is good. Thanks

Great food and service. Restaurant was full which ceated a great atmosphere, but at the same time service was prompt and attentive. Overall a great evening.

Fabulous food and friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely make a repeat visit.

Not the cheapest BUT food is lovely-not just in taste but presentation. A warm welcome and very friendly staff. Will go again and recommend to others.

Excellent meal, great food and very good, friendly service-would highly recommend!

Great food and service as always. Good varied menu. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely gorgeous food compliments to the chef. Lovely atmosphere great

Very good food and very good service from the very professional and friendly waitress. Thank you

Had to wait quite a long time for food to arrive but service was very polite and would definitely recommend

No problems, food was excellent, the only comment I would make is that soft drinks were very expensive but apart from that everything was great …. Good service, atmosphere was nice too .

Great place to eat. Very busy for a Wednesday lunchtime but we didn't have to wait too long for our food, which was delicious! A bit cramped feeling in the restaurant, as there was a large party in there, but overall no complaints. Will definitely be back.

Excellent quality and service as always. Love the choice on the menu!

Excellent as ever, the Blackbird never disappoints.The best place in Ponteland.

Beautiful pub really lovely attentive staff unfortunately the food was disappointing. Triple cooked chips looked as though they were the leftover dregs , small portions tasteless burger . Very disappointing meal overall and expensive . Would go again for a drink but not for food such a shame

There are plenty of signs telling you to leave the registration of your car at the bar computer. The food was ok however for me I felt there was a limited choice.One of our company had the ‘ Lamb Shank’ and he loved it.

Food was lovely..I had the burger and wife had fish finger sandwich. Only slight negative is the buns they use just fall apart. Buns need to be more robust. 🙂

Fantastic food and great service. Very lively on a Saturday night so glad we were in the restaurant where it’s a bit quieter. Really enjoyed the visit and will definitely go back if we’re in the area

FINE GOOD ATMOSPHERE AND FRIENDLY STAFF..PROMPT SERVICE, MENU A BIT SHORT

Excellent food as usual. It was very busy in the dining room and bar today but the staff were all excellent and we felt very well looked after.

Great food and lovely surroundings- first time been upstairs but made for special evening. Waiting staff excellent friendly and professional too.

Fabulous food and great service - beautifully presented and tasty

Good food . Albeit all the tables are so close together in the bar area . Difficult to have a business conversation.

Lovely atmosphere in the pub, beautiful food and amazing staff, thanks so much!

Great dinner, service was good and staff were very accommodating!

Really enjoyable evening - bar was busy and food in the restaurant was good. Will go again!

Excellent service and gorgeous food also great atmosphere and lovely table

Nice environment, good service, excellent food. Will go again before long.

A very nice meal in the restaurant,and good pleasant service

A very enjoyable family lunch time for all three generations.

Attentive service. Nice surroundings & tasty food with good responsiveness to requests. Would return again.

Great and prompt service, perfect environment for a special occasion.

We booked to celebrate our 54th Wedding Anniversary (I had mentioned this in my booking) The food was very good but there was not much interaction with staff other than taking our orders and “is everything ok” it would have been nice if a member of staff had wished us a Happy Anniversary.

Two of us had haddock & chips, which were excellent. One had lamb but the meal was not hot.

Lovely food it isn't cheap drinks especially but is worth it for a treat.

Lovely venue and great choice of food. Will certainly return

Food was spot on, service was very good and efficient polite.

Quick dinner as had somewhere to be but it was delicious and service was top notch. Asian crispy beef salad was one of the nicest dishes I've eaten.
