The Blackbird Inn

Food delicious and service friendly and helpful … all thoroughly enjoyable.

Sunday lunch did not disappoint. Great service and great food.

Booked a table for 6 for Sunday lunch. We were seated promptly and orders taken. Food arrived in good time and was delicious as always! Excellent service from all the staff.

Always prompt friendly service and a good Sunday lunch with plenty of choice

Always a good welcome. Food is very good. Parking is good.

Lovely food, prompt and efficient service by very friendly staff and great ambiance

Very good food and a very good evening. Thanks to all.

Went for Sunday lunch. Menu was more limited than on other days, but there was enough choice for us. The sea bream was outstanding - better than we've had anywhere. And it was a large fillet too. Asian salad was also outstanding - extremely tasty. Sunday roast and gnocchi were very good. Sticky toffee pudding was one of the best we've had. Only slight disappointment was the Eton mess - no strawberries, just strawberry ice cream instead. But it was an excellent meal all round. This is very high standard of cooking and one of the best eateries in the area. And we weren't rushed at all, and there is a great vibe for people watching in an atmospheric space.

Charming helpful staff who went out of their way to help me with two disabled guests. A wonderful experience

Had a lovely meal at the Blackbird. Lovely staff very busy

Excellent Sunday lunch, lovely pub with understanding and helpful staff!

We had a lovely meal with friends. The food was delicious and our servers were attentive and helpful. Highly recommended.

Mediocre food. Fish batter on my meal was not very good. My granddaughter ate all of her meal but I tasted the sausages and thought that they were tough skinned and not particularly nice. The chocolate ice cream that the children had was filled with dark chocolate chips and not really suitable for small children.

Please please please switch off the news on the TVs -we wanted a pleasant lunch not to be bombarded by the war in the Middle East TVs have no place in a pub apart from big sports events .It would put me off coming !!!

a slight hiccup with taking our order meant three meals delivered rather than four. manager came and explained what the mistake was, apologized and sorted things as quickly as possible with the kitchen. could have been a bad experience but for the timely intervention by the mamager

Really good food and drink at The Blackbird, with a spread of choices across our table of six. Possibly more expensive than at similar restaurants but service was good and enjoyed by all.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, can’t praise it enough and the staff were all very attentive and friendly

Fabulous Sunday Lunch as always. Our favourite place to eat!

Excellent restaurant and pub. Beautiful quirky building. Extensive menu Highly recommended

The Blackbird Inn is a lovely restaurant, it is in an old historic building and the features it has such as a stone staircase, arched coves, and stone flooring are beautifully maintained. Just mind your head if you are taller than around 5ft 7inches The service is excellent in the restaurant with professional, knowledgeable staff. The food is delicious, they have a selection of vegetarian meals and can advise on all allergies. There is an extensive selection of drinks both alcoholic and no alcoholic to choose from. It has an eating area outside and a function room for hire. It is a very popular restaurant & pub therefore I always book a table. I highly recommend The Blackbird Inn Ponteland 😊

Outstanding food. Best ever gambas al pil pil. Great service.

There were 6 people dinned - all 6 enjoyed their meal.The place was very busy and we dined in a tunnel that was quite noisy.The waiting time was acceptable.The prices were on the high side however we would dine there again.

Great food. Attentive staff. Not rushed to eat and move on. Definitely worth another visit soon 😁

Lovely place, lovely staff, poor food. Really disappointed with the food.

A nice venue to catch up with friends. The staff are all pleasant and attentive. The food was nicely presented. We have been a few times now and never been disappointed.

Once again, great food and ambiance at sensible prices, and great service

Excellent friendly reception and service. Tasty food. Overall a lovely night out.

Excellent food and service.atmosphere and setting great and good history!

had a wonderful dinner at The Blackbird Inn on Tuesday evening. The food was excellent — the lamb in particular was exceptional: perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavour. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a cozy country feel that made the evening even more enjoyable. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We found the pricing fair for the quality of food and experience. Waiting times were minimal, and the restaurant had a pleasant buzz without being too noisy. Highly recommended!

A Very pleasant dining experience Very Friendly and helpful staff

Visited this restaurant before, this time for Sunday lunch. Food was piping hot and we both enjoyed our meals.

Nice, relaxed atmosphere, good service and amazing Moroccan Lamb Flatbread!

Great visit. Table a little cramped for 5, but larger table being used for another party. Food excellent. Service very friendly and exemplary
