Always really satisfied with our visits to the blackbird. My mum has a couple of food intolerances and they have made a real effort to put some variety in their menus for those that can find it tricky eating out - so appreciated. The food is always good quality and the service excellent too.

I did all my early years drinking in the Blackbird moved away for 42 years now I’m back and so enjoyed a wonderful meal and such good service I was very nostalgic and looking forward to going back again! One of my friends is a celiac and dairy free so she really enjoyed having a choice - thank you Tricia

really enjoyed our visit having just moved to the village but the noise afer about 7.45 is a overwhelming but of course the room is susceptible to echo so I doubt whether here is much to be done - we will still go back

It’s been a while since we had Sunday lunch at the Blackbird. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, it was delicious and plentiful. The turkey and lamb was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were yummy. Maybe the parsnips could have been a little better as they were either a little overcooked or had been standing a while. But it still didn’t spoil the delicious flavours. We’ll be back…
