It was my wife's birthday, but clearly there was also a large (noisy) birthday party. Much better two years ago, for our 25th anniversary - but we have happy memories of the Blackbird, and we are local.

Everything was really good and we will be back However I did have the parma ham and melon starter that seemed to be minus the Parma ham? The waiting staff didn't have a clue why ? The head waiter ? ...offered us a refund which was really nice . All in all nice afternoon, good food and pleasent staff . thanks Cath

My first visit and certainly not my last. Food excellent, service and staff extremely efficient and helpful. Being a Sunday and very busy this did not impinge on service or waiting time. Very easy to book on line.

There were a few choices of meat for the Sunday lunch. It was good value. When it arrived, it was presented really well. The veg were served in sharing dishes & there was a good variety. Condiments were offered and delivered quickly. The staff are well trained and attentive. We didn't have pud as we were full. Highly recommended.

Loved it, we will definitely go back. From start to finish it was a great experience. Food was fantastic and we all really enjoyed it. Waiting staff were friendly and quick. The Tunnel room was lovely too. We enjoyed it that much we then went into the bar for a drink that was also very good. The food was well worth the price and if you haven't been before, you should go.
