Wonderful Pub. My wife and I visited your pub last night with two friends that live in Flitwick. Team Blackbird couldn’t have been more welcoming and the food, drink, and atmosphere were of the highest local pub standard! Thank you for your kindness, and wonderful fish and chips! Ed

Great pub with exceptional value, especially if you want to eat. I take the family here often, and I’m always blown away by the service and food. They do all of this for a fraction of the cost when compared with the overpriced pubs in Ampthill (WhiteHart take note). Recommend to anyone.

Good pub with typical pub food. While we were there, there were 2 different football teams, and while it took a while to get our food, the staff did a great job with the large amount of people they had to accommodate. My children loved the small play area and the outside tables are well maintained. Definitely enjoyed our time and will be sure to visit again.

Lovely spot for a well priced and great portioned Sunday roast! All of us had a roast, one beef, one turkey and two duos - a bit of each - delicious. The beef was cooked to perfection, turkey was succulent and juicy. The cauliflower cheese is fabulous - I wish I could cook it like that at home! The vegetables were perfectly cooked and the stuffing was great too. The young lady who served us at the bar (Lauren maybe) was helpful and polite, whilst warm and welcoming. She was knowledgable about the drink selection and nothing seemed too much trouble. The price point here is really great, for such a large meal. Yes you can get a cheaper roast elsewhere but it won't be as tasty. The chap who brought the food out to us (didn't catch his name but he had a beard and glasses) was very attentive, asked if we needed anything else and came back to check everything was to our liking. We were so full after the meal that we had to share desserts - they sounded too good to pass up! A delightful crumble with ice cream and a moist chocolate brownie with ice cream - scrummy. We can't wait to return to our new discovery and sample more of the menu - although it was mentioned they have a new menu coming soon which we're looking forward to trying. It was very busy on Sunday afternoon when we visited but the atmosphere was really lovely and staff couldn't do more to help us. Thank you to everyone at The Blackbirds who made our visit five star!

Absolute gem of a pub. They had live music on Friday and it was a bustling and positive atmosphere. Great food at affordable prices. The staff are warm and welcoming and give great service.

It’s ok as far as a village pub goes just not much room to manoeuvre. Staff seem friendly (to locals.) not the best not the worst, you won’t leave feeling drunk or happy with the prices. At least there isn’t WE40 all over the toilets though to stop the old Hollywood cold warm up.

Had the beef burger with bacon, pulled pork and some cheesy garlic bread. Food was perfect. Closest I’ve had to a spiritual awakening - absolutely loved it. The food came out very quickly, and tasted even more rewarding than a yearly pay raise. Lauren was really helpful and friendly behind the bar. Ally gave 10/10 customer service (arguably the best I’ve had in years) and made the trip 100% worthwhile. Would come back again in a heartbeat!

We.popped in for a spot of lunch on our way through. The pub is nice, the bar staff friendly. The food however, couldn't have been more bland. 3 small plates of disappointment, and an overcooked burger that had no seasoning, was missing the mayo and had the saddest amount of salad. The tastiest morsel on the table was the sausage we bought for the dog. Edited to add: by the time Sam came back to check if the food was ok, we'd eaten half of it. It's also hard to complain about food that isn't really wrong, but also isn't really right either. We chose your pub for a quick lunch as the reviews for the food (especially the burgers) were good. So if my review saves someone from a disappointing meal, then my work is done.

Popped down on a Sunday evening and was informed of a delay, I honestly didn't even notice the delay if it was even the full 30 minutes. To be honest i would expect some time for the food to come out anyways so i was pretty happy to wait and i was glad i did. The we ordered two steaks, a rump and a sirloin, with two sides. The steaks were cooked to perfection medium - rare and although they were busy the service from the staff the quality of the food was banging! A lovely experience and we definitely return in a week or two.

Fantastic customer service nothing is too much bother for him and the quizzes are so much fun. Great guy don’t lose him!

Knew this was going to be bad when they tell you what they haven't got on the menu. Being Sunday, you would have thought they would of least had the Sunday roast but no!. Saff wee friendly but the service was very slow and the food was not good at all. Their pies are meant to be award winning but 3 of us had pies with no meat just sauce and grissle. Will not be going back.

I want to say a massive thanks to these guys whom got us out of trouble when our party caterer had an accident on the way to deliver our food and couldn't deliver. Lots of people at the party and no food! I rang them and within an hour they delivered 12 huge pizzas and 10 boxes of garlic bread to the venue and saved the day! As always the pizza's are amazing as is the delivery guy and the service. It all went down a treat with no complaints at all. Thank you 😊
