lovely food , little pricey but it is ponteland. we would come back

Nice pub, friendly and atentive staff,would go back, food very good.

Food was fresh tasty and would definitely try again soon

Sunday lunch was above and beyond expected. Delicious and excellent quality. Great relaxed vibe in the bar. Friendly helpful staff. Superb place

Fab Sunday lunch everything , was perfect Thank u !

I’d actually booked the restaurant but we were given a table in the bar. It was actually a lot more pleasant so I was happy with that! The staff very friendly and helpful. Food was very good, only criticism is the meats were slightly dry.

Went for 2nd anniversary meal with my partner. His food was good, however my order was wrong. Tried to eat it to not be a pain but what they brought wasn’t cooked right. I ordered the beef fillet and they brought the fillet steak. I can’t eat steak with the juices coming out as it puts my off and the steak had a lot coming it. Tried to explain to the waitress that it wasn’t what I ordered and she didn’t listen. They just cooked the steak more. At this point my partner had already finished his meal. The guy who brought the food to us was lovely though and when I explained to him it wasn’t what I ordered. He was lovely about it. They took my meal off the bill though so can’t complain too much. Unsure whether I would come back again though.

Excellent meal. We both had the Sunday lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed it. This was our first visit for a meal and it will not be the last 😊

Booked for a late lunch, food excellent, staff pleasant & friendly, also every good service! Would certainly re-visit if iver this way again!

Fantastic Sunday lunch - staff very attentive- lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend 👍

Really nice Sunday lunch. Visited before and we’ll visit again

Beautiful food and great service. Lovely pub with plenty of parking.

Pubs is nice inside, food was standard, nothing to rave about. Two of our party had Asian salad which sounded lovely on the menu, but sadly it was covered in sweet chilli and that’s all we could taste. Staff were lovely and very attentive, so a big 👍😃 to them.

Excellent food, excellent establishment, excellent time had, would highly recommend.

Excellent Food and service. Nice atmosphere and would Definitely recommend .

really good as usual and good value with great service

Superb as always. You can tell when people know what they're doing, this place is really slick.

Fresh food. Lovely location. Very good! Friendly staff. Thank you

Consistently great food and Service. So many great dishes to choose from.

I would certainly recommend the Blackbird to all. The food is great and the portions are generous. It is a little on the expensive side but should not be confused with or compared to pub food. This is a quality restaurant in an excellent location and setting. Service is great and the quality and quantity of food will not disappoint.

Lovely food and prompt service. Attractive decor pleasant staff. Goid value.

Great food, service atmosphere and value. Will come back again.

Good leisurely lunch. Lovely food well presented and served. Thank you.

We visited The Blackbird to celebrate my Birthday. Meal started with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco just for subscribing to their Website. The food was well prepared and presented and the staff very helpful and courteous. All in all this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and well worth it. A real jewel in Ponteland and well worth a visit.

Always a good Sunday lunch. Beef consistently of a high standard. Lovely and pink! Huge portion without the yorkshire pudding dominating the plate like a lot of pubs seem to do

Great food lovely staff, very busy but plenty of staff to serve, good atmosphere.

Venue excellent service excellent and the food was absolutely outstanding

Could be a little more enthusiastic, potentially take an interest in why we visited. Understand that some tables like to be left alone but others prefer a chat.

The gluten free menu was really good! And the gin menu impressive too!

First time there and shall not be the last great food and the price was just about right. I was not offered mint with my lamb, so I think the staff may need a little more training. A larger​ range for Vegies would be a suggestion.

Great Mother’s Day visit. Staff very friendly as usual and food excellent. Great place to visit with children too.

Attentive staff. good food, apart from very fatty pork which was replaced but not much better. Also we were ushered to leave after only having the table for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Very expensive too

Service a little bit slow. But food nice Thanks Kathy

Nice venue. It could have been a 5 out of 5 However, I had advised on my booking that my friend had a severe egg allergy on booking online, on arrival I was extremely impressed with the effort of putting together a printed menu advising the dishes which were egg free. On ordering my friend was alarmed on attempting to order the crispy beef salad that the noodles were egg noodles (we had presumed they must have been rice noodles) and also the skinny fries served with the fish had egg in them. My friend started to get extremely concerned and felt the trust of whether there was egg or not in the dish had gone. She carries an epi pen with her given the severity. It took the edge of what should have been a wonderful lunch. Intentions would good just need to ensure that ALL elements to a dish are in fact the dietary requirement free. Not a bad review just done constructive feedback.

It was great as always the staff were very attentive

Average food and ok service . Upstairs toilet interesting !

Four of us had a delicious lunch yesterday. Lovely ambience warm and friendly staff. Just perfect.
