Went out on a Friday night. Not been here since it was the very old blackbirds. Pub looks nice, but not is all that it seems. It was dead. No atmosphere, music was rubbish. Nothing like it was years ago when it was more 'Alternative'. Queue out the door. Not anymore! Spoke to the headoorman mark was more enjoyable. Lovely guy!

The menu is a culinary journey through both familiar favourites and inventive twists on classic pub fare. Each dish is crafted with care using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, resulting in flavours that tantalize the taste buds and leave you craving more. And let's not forget about the drinks! The Blackbirds boasts an impressive selection of beers, wines, and spirits, ensuring there's something to satisfy every palate! In short, The Blackbirds is a gem of a pub that offers everything you could want and more. With its welcoming atmosphere, delectable fare, and lively spirit, it's the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to again and again."

Nice pub during the day/ normal evening, however as soon as its a little busier.. very slow service and no acknowledgment from bar staff whilst waiting (too busy shaking cocktails slowly). Considering it is not that busy, shouldn't be turning away customers, as our group walked out after waiting too long.

Went today to watch the rugby (6 people) having reserved a table online. On arrival no table was available and our booking wasn't showing. No apology was given for this and the gentleman was actually quite rude about it. On another occasion an elderly gentleman was sitting watching the football before a staff member came and switched the TV over without any alternative seating round the corner and again was really quite rude. Food was really nice and the atmosphere is nice also but customer service goes a long way.

We came with a 3 month old and was worried it might be a bit loud for a baby with the football being on but it was fine. Plenty of TV screens to watch the game. Food very reasonable and Guiness was £1 with a burger. It was £27 for two mains, two drinks and that included service charge. It’s also a dog friendly pub which we didn’t know. So we will definitely be coming back with our dog next time!

What a find Great and cheap food - had the roast dinner and literally half the price of a swanky place, however no drop in quality. Good gravy and unlimited yorkshires come on. Went with the mrs and daughter and very welcoming to families. Clean bright pub toilets spotless. However the thing that makes it stand out was the exceptional service from Jon, helpful but not too in your face, quick getting our food out even though they were busy with other big Christmas bookings. Will definitely be back

Visited this weekend we had a table booked for 1pm, they said there there was one chef so was an hour wait, we ordered and by 3.30 the food still hadn't turned up. We had crying children really hungry, they wouldn't even rush the children's food. We had to get a refund and leave. To add insult to injury they continued to take delivery orders, we could see the manager running the bags to the delivery drivers. Really terrible will not be back , just awful.

Unfortunately I walked in stood at the bar for ten minutes completely ignored by the bar staff. If it was busy I could understand. But a couple walked in and got served straight away so I had to approach the bar staff and ask why I’ve been ignored for 10 minutes to which he replied “I didn’t know you wanted a drink “😂standing at the bar for 10 minutes no glass on front of you I thought was a bit of a giveaway. I’m a very polite man never rude because I can understand what the bar staff have to go through but I had to take my custom elsewhere 😢

Worst roast ever, cold meat. Lumpy yet watery gravey -how is that combination acceptable- potatoes barely seen a oven, im guessing they was microwaved along with the dry cheewy vegetables. Should've guessed it would be a let down as at 3/4pm on a Sunday no other tables eating. After a refurbishment you'd expect the food would be spot on to draw in business....

Nicely refurbished venue , good place for drinks and to watch football, but food was really disappointing - took over an hour to get our food after ordering, even after all that time the steaks needed to be returned to the kitchen for cooking; the bangers and mash looked anaemic and all was generally disappointing. Hunter chicken was best of the 5 meals. Staff were apologetic and offered drinks while waiting but we won’t return for food.
