Reserved meal for 2 online. Got email confirmation. Staff were very friendly, service was excellent, as was the food. Would thoroughly recommend. Meal was Tuesday early evening and restaurant was busy, with a good atmosphere. Nice surroundings with interesting history.

The Tunnel room is very echoey we couldn't hear ourselves talk at times due to the noise and exceptionally loud laughter coming from the bar area, this is the second time our meal has been spoilt by noise from other guests. Perhaps the addition of some soft furnishings in the Tunnel room might absorb some of the noise echo or perhaps a large curtain draped over the entrance into the Tunnel Room

That was the best Sunday lunch we've had in a long while. Plenty of delicious meat and veg cooked perfectly. There were 3 of us and the veg was enough for us all. A delicious sweet of chocolate mousse to finish off. 5*

Three friends for lunch on a rainy day!! But inside The Blackbird it was warm and bright, and with a gentle buzzy atmosphere. Food was delicious and service attentive. This is one of our regular favourites and, as usual, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Recommended!

Waited for almost an hour for food, looked like my chips had been the last in the basket as there were a lot of darker hard bits, disappointed as we have been before and was amazing

Food and service amazing however our seating wasn’t brilliant a table for two near the busy entrance. I had requested a table for 4 in the restaurant on booking unfortunately 2 of our party had to cancel. I feel we were then moved to this unfavourable position so they could re assign the table that I’d requested.

Food was great, couldn’t fault the Sunday roasts. Service was slightly disappointing, the two young waitresses were a bit abrupt and seemed desperate to rush us out.

Not the best experience, having dined there on numerous occasions previously, was expecting better! The soup for starters was barely tepid and had little flavour, the Topside of beef, which we had ‘pink’ was impossible to cut, very chewy and totally tasteless, the only redeeming part of the meal was dessert, the apple crumble was delicious, as was the dark chocolate mousse! Might wait a while before we return!

Had lunch for my birthday. We were taken straight to our table. Restaurant was full, was a bit noisy which did not affect me personally but my husband wears hearing aids and found it difficult to hear the conversation. The food was amazing, the fish were excellent as always. I had the coronation chicken ciabatta, which I think is new to the menu was amazing. All washed down with a free bottle of birthday Prosecco which was lovely. All in all a great lunch at our local. Well done team Mark, excellent service as a,ways.
