The Blackbirds in Central Bedfordshire

Great Sunday roast with family. Very reasonable and yummy. Clean establishment, cutlery, crockery. Food was hot and presented well. Highly recommend.

Popped in once for a quick lunch as it has a park for the kids… and it’s now become our favourite spot! The food is brilliant, good portion sizes, great price and credit to the chef. The service from Ryan, Charlie, Faye and the team is more than a ‘service’, you feel welcomed like family which puts you straight at ease. It’s also a great spot to cozy up with a good book beside their fireplace. Ideal for all occasions, family lunch, mates dinner, with/without the kids.. dogs welcome too! Superb all in all - highly recommend a visit!

Lovely pub! Great food selection and service and in a lovely setting. Good choices for kids too. Huge pub garden- looking forward to coming back in the warmer weather!

Very happy with food. Staff very helpfull. Would give 5 star. And eat here again.be nice to eat outside in the summer with our dog

Ryan and Nikki are amazing. We love coming on a Friday for treat. Has a great atmosphere, good service and food is always good. Also bring our children and grandchildren for Sunday lunch. We had Fish and Chips it was crispy batter and fish was lovely. Would recommend for a lunch

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff (Nikki, Ryan and Jake where on today). The food was (as always) delicious and filling. I was recommended having pulled pork on the burger, and it was a win there. Would recommend for a met up with family, friends or even eating on your own. Until next time.

Lovely family pub with excellent food! Very welcomg and friendly atmosphere. The staff go above and beyond for their customers.

Lovely pub with dog friendly table inside as well. Big, secure garden safe for dogs and children with a lovely play area! Nice food and staff very good with kids

Booked a table for 8 people and my dog, often you can not get a table for this size but they accomdated our large party size giving us a very good seating area. Ryan and nikka were on shift and both were so helpful and polite throughout our time there. The food came in good time and it was very tasty food for a good price. I was very impressed with my experience and would recommend this pub to people. Thank you Ryan and nikki and staff.

We have been a few times in the last couple of months. Nice and friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price. The Sunday roast was nice, with a variety of vegetables and there is a lot of choice on the menu for starters. mains and desserts as well. Best to book so not disappointed, would recommend a visit.

Great food, and service at a good price. Special thanks to Ryan, Ally & Charlie. Will definitely visit again.

Nice pleasant pub to go for a drink and something to eat.Staff and management always very nice and friendly. Lovely roaring fire to have something to eat and drink on a cold night. Nice garden in the summer time. Recommend to anyone.

Such a lovely family pub. The staff are mostly always helpful and friendly. One or two could do with some customer service training but you take the rough with the smooth. The food is reasonably priced with good portion sizing. We’ve had steaks, lasagne, mac n cheese, burgers, roasts, pretty much most of the food off the menu! The chefs do such a good job, even when it’s busy. We’ve been in with the family but also just my husband and I of an evening and the atmosphere is great. I highly recommend The Blackbirds for a family meal, a roast dinner or a night out.

Very happy with food. Staff very helpfull. Would give 5 star. And eat here again. Will bring dog next time
