Excellent meal in fab ambience. Emma who served us was really lovely- even gave us a mini tour of the gallery upstairs! Food was fab (fresh vegetables cooked perfectly) and generous servings. Great to be able to dine in a restaurant with character, heritage, great staff and fab food.

Had a lovely festive lunch at the Blackbird. There were 3 of us. Two had the turkey and trimmings which were plentiful. I had the beef which was so tender and tasty. Thoroughly recommend it. Susan T

Friendly staff and great food. We arrived 35 minutes early and every table was reserved. They did their best to get us seated ASAP which was very kind as we have 2 young children. Kids menu was amazing portions and value for money. We had a lamb roast and fish and chips, both very good for taste and size. Puddings were fantastic but at 9.50 each, seemed quite expensive. Glad we treat ourselves though and we'll definitely visit again.

All enjoyed our Christmas meal and at no time felt pressured to vacate our table. Service was very good. Good range of food to choose from. although not a vegetarian, the celeriac and apple risotto was a welcome change from usual vegetarian dishes.

The pub was beautiful, staff very friendly and attentive. Sunday lunch was nice but the meat was chewy and the veg was a bit bland. No where near as good as the sister pub, the Northumberland arms.
