The Blackbird Inn

Everything was great - only very minor issue was the length of time to get our food, however, it was absolutely worth the wait! The lamb is amazing! We will definitely be back. Great atmosphere, great food, fab wine and friendly team - what more could you want.

Great place for lunch food delicious ,service spot on Would recommend it

Friendly attentive staff. Clean well decorated Food was very good

Absolutely beautiful food. 3 time we’ve been and never disappointed.

Food was great and the staff were all very friendly. We sat upstairs, and the atmosphere was lovely.

Fantastic food and service. Pity about the sauce bottles on tables.

Food was excellent. Only downside was that my wife sat next to 2 radiators which were boiling hot which made her too hot. Also the chairs were uncomfortable.

The food was good as usual service good .every thing up to usual standard.

Attentive staff, nice warm atmosphere and very tasty food and wine. Thank you.

Good food,friendly team and a great atmosphere. Will be back.

Lovely Food and pleasant staff,so it was a very enjoyable visit

Been here a few times and really enjoyed it, not so much this time. Staff are really good and very attentive but the food was disappointing compared to previous visits. It's at the expensive end of Sunday lunches at nearly £20 for beef sirloin roast, which would be fine if it had quality to match. It didn't and the meat was a bit tough and chewy,l, made me wish we'd opted for the cheaper cut. The main issue was the amount of vegetables you get for a table of 5. One small dish for 5 people is woefully inadequate, even with the turnip being separate in a tiny ramekin. Would still come back on other days but there are much better quality and priced Sunday lunches out there

Excellent environment, great food, great service but a short wait for dessert. The team kept us informed the whole time though, so no worries The Blackbird is a gem with very well trained colleagues

Bit disappointed that we had been seated for a while before we were asked if we required any drinks. Our Sunday lunch was excellent.

First visit - loved the atmosphere, the service and the food was amazing. The chairs on our table were uncomfortable and mine was wobbly, also felt squashed into a corner, would prefer to be seated in the restaurant next time. Will definitely return, thank you :)

Fab service, epic food. Can't wait to try Sunday dinner!

From the time of ordering our food, we waited 40 minutes for it to arrive. Meanwhile, a party arrived just before our food came and their food came 5 minutes later! Our toddler was falling asleep by the time his food came so he barely ate anything. We won’t return

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Attentive staff and a good atmosphere. Can definitely recommend.

Lovely atmosphere, great service & very pleasant Sunday lunch - super tender sirloin. Yum.

Excellent food and good service. What more could we want!.

Very enjoyable experience. Service very good, attentive but not intrusive. Food excellent.

We came for Sunday lunch and we were really impressed. Will definitely be making regular visits.

everything was wonderful, the staff, the food, the resturant was all great.

Delicious food and wonderful staff. We always have a fab evening.

Food was amazing but the wait between courses was quite a bit

Excellent food, staff and service. Will return again soon for a meal.

First class all round, service excellent, short wait, food nice and hot and very tasty. Best Sunday lunch in the area, always recommend.

Our forth visit now after spending sometime trying to find somewhere for Sunday lunch where the meat is edible. Today however having gone for the trio of meats the beef was sadly disappointing, tough and chewy to say the least but I accept this was my fault entirely having not stayed with my usual choice of beef sirloin. My partner opted for the cheesecake and I the lemon mousse, both were delicious but particularly with the cheesecake one wonders just how small is it acceptable to go on the portion size for the price charged!!. All in all our experience today was not as enjoyable as previous visits.

Excellent & extensive Sunday lunch menu. Top quality food. The beef was the best I’ve tasted,

Great atmosphere , excellent staff and superb food 👍 definitely go again soon

great food, friendly service and very pleasant atmosphere. would recommend.

Nice staff. Good service. Good food. Nice pub. Would recommend.

Their Asian beef salad is the best! Lively friendly service too.

Really good food, lovely atmosphere. Staff very friendly & helpful

Have been here before and made a Bee line again to celebrate my birthday. We sat in the vaulted dining area which is cosy and intimate and has amazing history. The food here is fantastic. Beautifully presented, good sized portions and full of flavour. There is plenty of choice on the menu but we were too full for pudding. The venue was busy and there’s a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place. We look forward to our next visit.

It was very busy. Staff forgot to come back to order sweet and coffee. Also they forgot the coffee we ordered but brought it once prompted and apologised. Disabled access could be better.

Lovely food then the staff were amazing as my uncle passed out. Thanks to all. Think it was a bad reaction to his shingles jab. I honestly thought he wasn’t coming around. Thanks for looking after him, putting him In recovery position and calling ambulance. . Thanks staff ❤️

Initially we were being seated in the Tunnel Room the tables were too close together we asked if we could go to another table and they moved us to Minstrel Room. It was perfect

Rather quick to clear the table. So much so a drink was whilst my dining companion was still drinking. We sat in an almost empty room for 40 mins before our food arrived. Peas far too salty. Chips not only undercooked but not triple cooked (as per menu description). Vegan options 1 - the ice cream! The brownie dessert dry and no alcohol free wine on the wine list. On a positive note the crackers were supporting the Trussel Trust.

Lovely food and good friendly, and very efficient service. Nice surroundings

Lovely food and really nice surroundings, only spoiled by our table for two being hammed right next to the LOUDEST and most ostentatious 3 couples I have ever come across. "Oh shall we have fizz?" "Oh let's, it would be rude not not to" followed by raucous cackle

Wonderful food and attentive service. We had a little while to wait for our food, but it is Christmas and it wasn't a problem! We are regulars and will be back!!

Efficient service, friendly helpful staff and lovely food , good portion size

Waited 1 hour for food while other tables who came in half an hour later were served at about the same time. No satisfactory explanation.

Warmly welcomed and shown to a lovely seating area. Pleasantly surprised at how busy it was resulting in a festive atmosphere. Prompt table service, good length of time left between courses. Not rushed. Food was amazing 10/10 and piping hot

We ordered a side of cauliflower cheese it was burnt and dry and also one flouret was grey a sign It was rotten. Thankfully they removed that from our bill. Spoilt the meal for me as we were celebrating my birthday

We had a lovely meal and the food was great. The servers were attentive. There were two groups of women on the tables either side of us who were really loud so we couldn’t hear our conversation. This was in the tunnel room so if I was booking again I would ask not to be seated in there. It was also freezing cold in the room.

Enjoyed our drinks at the bar before moving to our table in the restaurant for 2pm. We had the 3-course Christmas lunch (lovely food - thank you chef) and moved back to a table in the bar (reserved for us as we hadn't finished our wine) and our table was needed for the next party at 5pm. If the ambiance hadn't been so good, we wouldn't have spent 3 hours over lunch! Well done Blackbird, we'll be back again soon.

Prompt service, polite and friendly staff. The place was very busy but staff were calm and professional. Dining room on the chilly side which is a shame as there were fires going in the bar.

Very good food and attentive service from the staff would happily visit again
