The Blackbird Inn

My absolute favourite Sunday lunch spot, the nut roast is splendid!

Excellent service and food as usual, atmosphere was lovely and relaxed.

Lovely time at the Blackbird for Sunday dinner. As ever, food and service excellent

Superb food !! Choice of beef pink or well done !! Friendly staff !! Nice location!! Would certainly reccomend having Sunday lunch here !! ( haven't been any other day )

Enjoyed our visit, Will return for another meal very soon

Fantastic food and great service. Will definitely use again 👍

The Sunday lunch was excellent, the waitresses Molly and Holly were lovely and very attentive. We can thoroughly recommend the Blackbird.

The food was lovely. Excellent service and lovely setting. Definitely recommend.

Great pub lovely food good atmosphere Most of the staff were good although I did stand a while waiting to be served despite the fact there seemed to be plenty of staff doing nothing ..

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch. All four of us loved it and the Eton mess was amazing. Can’t wait to return. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Great food and excellent service Would visit again Great value

Had a fantastic experience from walking in to walking back out. The service was second to none and nothing was a bother. Even though it was Father’s Day we weren’t rushed. The food was amazing and my roast beef was cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to go back and try the everyday menu.

Lovely first visit to the blackbird today for Father's Day lunch. Fab hot vegetables on the Sunday dinners. Will return .

Excellent food and service. We will definitely return in the future.

Very pleasant environment and good food.and service in a local pub.

Busy Saturday evening, food took a long time to arrive but definitely worth wait. Staff friendly and attentive. The only negative was the noise, the acoustics of the ‘dining room’ are terrible, you can’t here the others on your own table but you can hear the full conversation of the people on the table at the other side of the room!

Lovely food as always. Friendly welcoming staff too. If I had to complain about anything service was a little slow but 1.30 Sunday lunch is busy anyway you go!! Worth the wait though.

Great food. Great service. We’ll be back again soon. Thanks

Lovely meal, with excellent flavours and presentation. Note to self go more often.

Food was excellent, very friendly and efficient staff we will be back again soon

Friendly, attentive staff. Interesting menu and good service, pleasant environment.

Lovely lunch with friends. Great choice on the menu with lunchtime specials or sandwiches and toastier or their main menu. Prompt service and food was of a good quality. Dessert really too large for one but a great portion to share.

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.

Food and service was excellent with a good atmosphere .

An excellent experience. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. Food was really delicious. Will definitely go back .

Brilliant setting, superb helpfull and friendly staff, great food and drinks.

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
