Had a delicious lunch today at the Blackbird Inn. Anne and Jim are lovely hosts! Nothing was too much trouble and as we four adults had 2 infants in tow we needed 2 high chairs. Again, no bother. Would definitely recommend and revisit.

Went for an anniversary meal and we were not disappointed. The menu is part best described as no thrills, but it is all well cooked and tasty. I had a homemade broccoli and cheese pasta bake, my wife had crispy chicken. Both very nice, my wife was especially taken by the battered chicken, she loved it. I had a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert, my wife had alabama fudge cake which was also served with ice cream (both of us could have chosen cream). Both really hit the spot. Christmas decorations were up, they were fantastic, really set the ambience of the place. Kathleen was our server and Ann the chef came out to see us as well, these ladies are the soul of the place and a real asset for the business. We had a very relaxed evening, if that's what you want then try it out.

There is five of us who go round various pubs and restaurants once a month. We all had a lovely meal at the blackbird and the dessert was fabulous and we have all agreed that we will go back just for the apple pie.the waitress was very courteous and made use feel very welcome. A great place to go for food.

Our first visit to the Blackbird inn and I can assure you it won't be my last fantastic pint of 80/sh and the food was well presented and tasted fantastic and piping hot. ok, it's simple fair but well worth it. Staff are really friendly bar area and loos spotless. Would highly recommend a wee visit here 5 star all the way.

We had dinner at the pub and we loved it. Their cooking is excellent: lots of options to try and everything we had was homemade and very well cooked. But the best was the dessert: what an incredible apple pie they serve. The owners and the atmosphere are lovely. Definitely a perfect place for those staying in the camping nearby and seeking for a warm and comfortable dinner.

Super place for a cheeky little beverage while doing a circular walk from Alyth Square. Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff, super clean toilets and a great old-fashioned pub atmosphere makes this place a winner. Great for a solo traveler with a book as well. We only indulged in drams and crisps this trip but have heard good things about the food and are looking forward to eating here next trip. Plenty of parking outside.

The place was absolutely immaculate, and the staff very welcoming, but the menu was so dated and basic, when did you last see fruit juice as a starter?! The majority of the meals were definitely “ping” dinners! I had broccoli, cheese & pasta bake with salad & chips for £17.50, a tadge over priced! My partner had scampi & chips with veg also for £17.50, even though the veg were cooked to perfection the scampi wasn’t good quality. So, on this basis we definitely won’t be returning.

Closest pub to the camp site, and reasonably priced drinks with friendly service. Would recommend popping through on a Saturday night for some live music. The only downfall is the food unfortunately. It's actually extremely cheeky how they charge the prices they do for bland, frozen food. £16.50 for frozen gammon and frozen chips! It's honestly a shame because it seemed like a lovely local pub, I just think the owners are unfortunately exploiting the fact that it's a small village with few options for eating out. If you're staying at the campsite, just cook there or go to the local chippy!

We were staying at the adjacent Caravan Park which was excellent. We decided to try out the Blackbird inn for a meal. Rather taken a back by the cost of breaded fish and chips at £16, we thought, oh well it must be good at that price, also on the hand written menu, Tartare Sauce, £1.50 extra per portion!!!!. When the fish and chips arrived we realised that it was frozen fish and overcooked, the chips were nice but oh dear a poor show in a place that is still decorated in the 70s; I know I've been there !! Not good, do not recommend and no, we won't be back, rather go further afield or make our own.

Found this place late in the day and it really was a last resort. We ate in the bar area which was an absolute dive. If we weren't so hungry we would have turned around and walked right out. Decor was very dated, it was brightly lit, no music, no atmosphere. Food was massively overpriced and the menu very basic. Traditional pub grub circa 1985. It was OK - a bit over cooked but the portions were big. Service was good. Would not return even if we were desperate. I still can't believe the prices. £17 for a scampi and chips or ham salad. Outrageous. Paid less in a 4 star hotel.

Less than impressed by this place. Stayed at the lovely caravan park adjacent and popped in to have a pint before deciding if it was suitable for an evening meal with the kids. No. The smell of stale urine as we entered should have told us to stay away. The lack of interest in taking our drinks order then having to wait for it until the horseracing had finished put us clean off. A tired old boys boozer that needs an overhaul in decor and service. My advice, walk the half mile to the Alyth Hotel.

Stopped at the Blackbird Inn after a hard day in the saddle on a charity cycle run down from Stonehaven. We had been in driving rain and heavy wind all morning and we're greeted perfectly by the staff. Our wet clothes were put in the tumble drier while we were fed a great spread that lifted our spirits hugely. The staff couldn't do more for us and even hustled the punters for donations to our charity. Great homely place and thank you for looking after us!

We visited as a party of 2 adults and 4 teenagers (aged 13-16). There were no other customers in the lounge area where the meals are served but we could hear there were other customers in the bar area - although these in no way interfered with our enjoyment of the meal. We all ordered across a basic but varied menu - e.g. Lasagne, steak pie. Service wasn't the quickest but we weren't in a hurry and the food was cooked fresh and was very tasty.

The food, was absolutely diabolical, and the staff upon complaining, were awfully rude. In fact, they completely dismissed me when I complained that the food was inedible. The manageress actually went as far as to tut and sigh at me. The steak (which I didn’t photograph, and sent back) was beyond well done (when I asked for medium). She claimed that the burnt meat was medium. The fish, chips, mushy peas and tartar sauce was dry and missing tartar sauce. The chips were mouldy and the peas could have plastered walls! Here are pictures I did get. Disgusting. We are actually here staying for two nights and considering going home a night early. Shocking experiemce and service so far. Please ovoid.
