It was so noisy in the restaurant we could not converse during the meal. Totally spoilt the experience. Had l known how noisy it would be we would have enjoyed a takeaway at home much more

Had a lovely festive lunch at the Blackbird. There were 3 of us. Two had the turkey and trimmings which were plentiful. I had the beef which was so tender and tasty. Thoroughly recommend it. Susan T
