The Blackbird Inn

Great food, great service, easy to book online, very welcoming atmosphere.

Really good lunch with family and service was very friendly

Lovely place, food and service was just ok, nothing special.

Unbelievable food and portion sizes. Very nice and tasty. I had steak pie, was delicious, my wife had Asian beef salad, she loved it. Kids both had chicken nuggets and chips, again a good size of portion followed by ice cream. Would recommend

Visiting the Blackbird was a lunch stop en route from our home in the Leeds area to Berwick on Tweed. Having spent some time on business in the Newcastle area, I was aware of Ponteland, and the Blackbird suited our requirements and did not disappoint.

Sadly the food was very average, I have been previously and had a good meal. The starter of croquettes was piping hot and tasty but way too big a portion, the main course of lamb was only lukewarm and the mash tasted like it was out of a packet. I did tell the waitress that my food was only just warm but she just smiled at me. I won’t be hurrying back

Good food. Generous portions. Excellent service. A very enjoyable experience.

Lovely meal the food was delicious and the staff welcoming

Very enjoyable meal with excellent friendly service. Recommend the steak and ale pie

we had a good experience at a well run place

As usual perfect…. Been working through the menu and never disappointed! Had all the puddings now and wow…

Excellent menu, amazing home cooked food, the kitchen staff know their stuff. Great service too.

Very welcoming, Excellent sandwiches, more spacious and quieter in the lounge than in the restaurant.

Great food and service in a lovely environment. Never disappointed when we eat at the Blackbird 😁

Great food, excellent value for money but unfortunately staff let it down. No greeting, please or thank you, asked to be given a minute to decide on dessert, server didn't come back. After 20 minutes settled Bill and left.

Great service, although table a little near the bar area.

Truly first class dining experience food incredible quality better than one acclaimed Hexham establishment

Fantastic food as always. Considering it was Father's Day, place wasn't overpacked and just a great atmosphere.

very pleasant lunch , we would visit again the food was good.

Food and service brilliant! Only a slight mix up but was swiftly sorted!

Exceptional dinner (as all our previous visits have been memorable food and great experience in the dining room).

Lovely pub restaurant with different seating areas including outside tables. Plenty of parking. Light bite lunch menu a good option for smaller appetites and even then they are very filling. Service is friendly yet professional.

Food as always was amazing! Staff were incredible and attentive and it was just a fabulous afternoon. Thank you ❤️

This was the first time we have visited and it won’t be the last, lovely setting, great service everyone one was friendly helpful and smiling, food was great and my Dad only eats fish so it was fab to have a fish course on which he said was amazing! Over all fab experience can’t fault it Thank you so much.

Overcharged by £10.00 until I queried it. The beef was so tough
