It was my wife's birthday, but clearly there was also a large (noisy) birthday party. Much better two years ago, for our 25th anniversary - but we have happy memories of the Blackbird, and we are local.

Everything was really good and we will be back However I did have the parma ham and melon starter that seemed to be minus the Parma ham? The waiting staff didn't have a clue why ? The head waiter ? ...offered us a refund which was really nice . All in all nice afternoon, good food and pleasent staff . thanks Cath

There were a few choices of meat for the Sunday lunch. It was good value. When it arrived, it was presented really well. The veg were served in sharing dishes & there was a good variety. Condiments were offered and delivered quickly. The staff are well trained and attentive. We didn't have pud as we were full. Highly recommended.
