The Blackbird Inn

Delicious food (not too small portions), friendly and attentive service, beautiful old surroundings (especially upstairs) and comfortable seats... we have thoroughly enjoyed our meal and shall be returning.

Sunday lunch with elderly parent, excellent choice and great quality

Outstanding lunch with fast friendly service - Blackbird you never disappoint- thank you

Overall really nice time and meal. Only compliant is that the vegetables were hard, but appreciate some people like them that way. Sticky toffee pudding was lush. Nicely decorated for Halloween too.

Lovely setting. We ate in the bar area this time but it was fine, as most people were eating there too. Food was excellent as usual.

We’ve been to The Blackbird on many occasions and have never been disappointed. I think the standards of food and service are good

Lovely welcoming friendly staff and delicious lunch. Would visit again.

Good food and service we will definitely go again. L

Confused by the restaurant/ busy bar what are you bar/restaurant make your mind up think it needs to be kept separate, Very nice food and great service!!

Great food. Very busy so a bit loud for those with some hearing issues. Friendly service.

Beautiful restaurant very quirky!! lovely friendly staff & the best fish & chips I’ve ever tasted.

Had a fantastic time. Great service and atmosphere,excellent food. Can't wait to go back!

Good service, ambience & excellent food. Staff very helpful & friendly.

I was disappointed that our table was in the bar and not in the restaurant. I had booked on 5 September for meal on 1 October and am sure that those lucky enough to be in the restaurant would have booked after me. Our table was not ready as non diners were sitting at it and waited to be asked before they moved. The bar was very noisy and I felt awkward sitting eating surrounded by drinkers.

The acoustics are poor in the tunnel room but that has to be expected, so always look to sit upstairs. Sunday lunch was ok, the veg really nice. Their best food is evening fare rather than Sunday lunch.

A very pleasant evening but the food was possibly not as good as usual, perhaps that was due to it being very busy. The staff, although helpful, could have been a bit more professional; they attempted to take our wine glasses away without confirming if we wanted wine. However our evening was not affected by these minor things. The atmosphere was excellent, especially foe a Tuesday night. Would still recommend.

Excellent Sunday lunch very tasty and extra gravy without asking for it

Always a great place to eat and drink service fab food amazing

Wonderful meal was spoilt by the smell of wet dog

Delicious, hot, plentiful food. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal.

Great food Good service Enjoyed the experience.Will be back soon

Delicious Sunday lunch by a fun, friendly and helpful staff - thanks very much

Waitress was very good and very much a "people person"

Excellent food but service just average. Would go back due to food being so good

Food was good quality. I had the short rib which was a touch over seasoned and we had to ask for a serving spoon for our cauliflower cheese side dish , the sauce for which was a little thin. The bar was very busy so had to wait for our table, we were told to come back in 20 minutes but the barman did not offer to get us a drink so we then had to wait at the very busy bar to get served. Between the 5 of us we spent nearly £200 which was fairly expensive ( that did include all of our drinks for the night) but for that money on reflection the service could have been better. All staff were polite and attentive though once we were seated.

Fantastic food - best I've eaten in ages. Good service in a small and quiet restaurant that serves excellent beer too. Got straight in, no waiting with attentive staff.

The food was very good and so was the service. We ate in the restaurant which was lovely.

Visited for Sunday lunch and we were well satisfied by the meal and the environment. Only slight negative was the background music which just needed turning down a notch or two. Lovely staff and well cooked food with good portions made up for this though. Can definitely recommend!

Lovely food and super helpful staff. Excellent atmosphere and great for a Sunday roast.

We were seated in the bar area with people bumping into my back, food very basic and over priced .

Great food , cooked and presented very well. Great service

Excellent food, served by a lovely young lady. Venue seeped in history, fantastic building worth a visit just for a taste of history. Would definitely recommend and will definitely go again.

Party of four for a birthday celebration. Free bottle of prosecco helped our decision to visit here again. Service very good and friendly throughout.....food to a good standard and value for money. Will certainly be back soon.....

excellant food and lovely atmosphere we will be back soon

A great meal and good service - I don’t think it can be helped but the cavern shaped dining room was very noisy other than that fantastic

fantastic food, really enjoyed the food, looking forward to the next visit

never Been before but will defiantly be back food fantastic

Bit slow and one server was very hard to understand

Really enjoyed the food and staff very friendly. Will be back very soon. Loved that my three doggies where aloud to stay with us.

My first course , prawns, was excellent but my filet steak 'blue' was tough and I struggled to eat half. My dog enjoyed the other half. The chips were too large and cold. I do not think I shall be paying a return visit. One of my guests also complained about her filet steak being tough.

Very nice but asain noodle starter would of preferred soft noodles and the veg with the dinners to he softer

Our first visit and all very pleased with the meal etc. Very pleasant staff and atmosphere.

It was just one of great places to eat @ drink great night oug
