The Blackbird Inn

We’ve been coming to the Blackbird for years, and the food has always been brilliant. But the on last 2 visits, one just before lockdown and the other after, The food just isn’t as good as it used to be. It was lacking flavour yesterday and just a bit basic. Which is a shame, as it’s usually lovely. We’ll still come back, but maybes not for Sunday lunch.

Very safe visit with excellent food and service great staff

Very well organised for social distancing etc Normal excellent Sunday lunch, large portions of beef and all the trimmings

Amazing service Staff very efficient,friendly and courteous. Exceptionally cleanliness throughout the building.We will be back!

Had a great experience- food was amazing and felt very safe and well run

Really well organised given the measures that were required. Great service & lovely meal.

Had we realised that the menu was only really takeaway options we wouldn’t have made the effort to dress up and come out

it was nice well organised and safe . food was nice

excellent service with good pub food ..we'll be back ...

Great food and service would highly recommend We will be back

Great as usual. They are Dealing well with the COVID-19 requirements and food still top class

Great food and the girl that served us was lovely

Very well layed out for social distancing and staff all wearing visors. Food and service was amazing!

Great "new normal" experience with very clear and easy to follow rules. Reliable and speedy table service. All good!

The limitations of social distancing made it difficult for staff to regularly attend our table. As a result there were long waits between drinks orders and food courses usually ending with me having to get the attention of a server. I understand the challenges an establishment faces during Covid-19 but think considering indoor tables are restricted to table service they should have had more staff dedicated to the tables.

Couldn’t fault the evening the staff where great. Definitely book again

Can’t expect much more with the virus still kicking about.

Very good will go back great staff good servic e

Lovely food, good service, friendly staff with clear COVID guidelines

Things are obviously different with the currently situation but we were very impressed with the excellent food and service.

We all enjoyed our visit to the Blackbird. The food and team were as good as usual

Menu was very limited. Not a good choice- fish and chips, pie and mash or burgers.

Great to be out after lock down! Black bird always reliable. Great service, felt safe though sadly atmosphere slightly changed with new guidelines.

Food was fantastic found the fact outdoor seated tables had to queue at bar to order blocking doorway

Fantastic effort by the staff made it such a good experience We had drinks and food Flatbread with beef burrito and Moroccan lamb were superb really good food and a great all round experience despite the restrictions I have used this pub for over 25 years and will still keep on going

4 days after lock down opening, the blackbird showed care and attention to rules around reopening. The food and service was very good , a little slow but as you would expect as everything was waitress service. Well done to all the staff.

Very pleasant visit. Look forward to return of our usual menu

Staff dealing with the new normal brilliantly, well organised and still managing to maintain a lovely atmosphere. Sunday lunch fab as always. Well done Blackbird

Excellent very well organised all social distancing measures were there! Food as good as ever

First night after lockdown, busy outside but good food and well organised already

Table service for the bar on a Friday night..can’t be bad!

Was a great atmosphere and the food was great will be coming back here

We had a lovely lunch. Staff were excellent. Warm and cosy surroundings and atmosphere

A great mid-week lunch at the Blackbird. Recommend the Tasty cottage pie and the mince and dumplings, perfect. 😀

Once again a lovely evening and meal. Food was gorgeous

Went for Sunday lunch for the first time it was gorgeous will definitely be back

Simply Excellent. The staff were exceptional! Highly recommended for great pub grub!

Throughly enjoyed our visit today, Excellent service and food and staff.

Great service and atmosphere, food delicious and well presented, we’ll definitely return

We had a great time, you are always made to feel like a special guest

excellent quality sunday lunch and service in a good atmosphere

The food was great as usual but made a booking for the restaurant and was then sat in bar area which was really noisy and we couldn’t hear each other plus the seating arrangements were uncomfortable for six people - it slightly spoilt the evening.

Excellent food and service - as usual! We’ll definitely be back.

Quite possibly the best fillet steak I've ever had! Never had anything but top notch food when we've been here.

Food is excellent cooked to perfection and lots of it. Well worth every penny best Sunday lunch in the area.

Food was delightful and service was great. There were a couple of cheeky chappies at the bar fooling around but they were harmless. There was a woman cackling really loudly.

A great Sunday lunch with good food as usual and service

We were indecisive customers, the event being an 86th birthday but the staff were very patient with us. The food was of a good quality, good portion size and well presented. Excellent menu choice. Very good coffee.

Cosy restaurant. Amazing food and lovely service and great atmosphere

Easy parking, a warm welcome on arrival, great food and service.
