The Blackbird Inn

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!

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.

Enjoyable venue for a 'get-together' Very convenial, good variety of food on offer, service impecable, pleasant and helpful. We'll be back.

Lovely meal. Chicken Supreme and steak were excellent. A special environment with good atmosphere and lots to see. Unrushed, and very friendly.

Great gastropub staple - beer-battered fish and chips, with mushy peas. Great service. We will be back for more.

Lovely atmosphere and the service and food were both very good.

Lovely olde pub with restaurant-quality food and friendly attentive staff.

Lovely food, great service and very helpful and friendly staff.

Excellent food and very good service. Sad that we had to wait so long for our food (but it was Saturday night and busy!) but the food was definitely worth waiting for. Sadly we weren't left enough time for dessert.

Waitress was absolutely lovely and professional and both meals was so tasty and well presented

Service was excellent and food was stunning, can’t wait to go back

This was our first visit to the Blackbird. We had great service and really good food. We have no complaints whatsoever and will be returning next month as we really enjoyed our visit

Lunch meeting with friends. Food was very good however the restaurant area was packed and we were right next to a very hot radiator. Maybe better to choose the less busy and more spacious bar area.

Good as ever - it isour place to go - only one othert thing - the food was a little cold.

Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff and on site parking.

Fantastic Sunday roast in beautiful surroundings with attentive staff. thank you

Perfect in every way from beginning to end. Thank you to all the staff who made a family get together spot on

good value for money. Very tasty food. Service was great and attentive

Good food, nice surroundings, staff and atmosphere. Service was a little slow. Good attention to detail regarding dietary requirements

Great lunch on Saturday, as usual! Food, welcome, service all bob on....

Our first visit - many more to come. Upon many recommendations we visited with gift vouchers as a treat. We were warmly welcomed as though we were regulars, shown to a perfect table. Waiting staff were so very hospitable and helpful throughout. Food was amazing, so fresh. Perfect ambiance, we were sadly too full for dessert but just wanted to stay to enjoy the atmosphere. We left feeling full and content and very excited to come back!

Warm welcome, excellent service and delicious food. Thanks so much

Great service and lovely food (as always), and the beer was nice.

Good service, good food. The restaurant wasn't too busy (Monday lunchtime) so not too noisy either. Always a good experience.

Attentive service. No delays despite a busy Mother’s Sunday. Will go again.
