"Things didn't start off well as when the website was checked for the Sunday Lunch Menu it wasn't what was available at the Blackbird if you read all the way to the bottom of the listing it was for their sister pub miles away. Parking not a problem but just remember to input your car registration into the screen at the bar. We were seated immediately but on a small table just next to the entrance which normally wouldn't have been a problem except there were a number of dogs sat next to the table and I am allergic to dogs. We mentioned this to the person greeting diners and on request they moved us into the restaurant. I had a quick chat to the greeter to say thank you for moving us and to explain the reason why we needed to move and he said we should have mentioned the allergy over the phone when we booked. We had booked online and there was no indication that an allergy to dogs should be mentioned alongside food allergies. Our friendly server gave us menus which were completely different to the online menu both in choices and price and then took our/ drinks order. Our drinks came promptly and our meal choices were taken (1 Roast Lamb and 1 Roast Beef) we didn't want starters. The mains arrived quickly along with the separate bowls with the mixed vegetables and swede. The main plate had a good portion of meat, some very impressive Yorkshire Puds and some roast/mashed potato. However, we found the bowls of vegetables were luke warm, the swede was a brown colour with no taste, the main plates weren't hot and the Yorkshire puddings had no real taste the chefs really need to concentrate on seasonings. The pub has a very friendly local atmosphere and a really interesting history and is very dog friendly which I applaud (perhaps they can amend their website to give extended advice for allergy suffers wanting to eat in the restaurant)."

Sunday lunch was beautiful! One of the nicest we’ve had, the roasties and yorkshire puds were my favourite! Staff were great, service was fast and plenty of spaces in the car park too. Will definitely be back! View menu

Excellent lunch. The quality of the food was really good and the quantity was excellent. A little expensive for pub Grub but worth the money. Staff were great. Beware of the car parking. You have to register your car in the pub and I didn’t notice the signs and received a fine through the post, since cancelled, View menu

The Blackbird is a relaxed restaurant with polite and helpful staff. The fish was good and the chips, although possibly frozen, were still tasty. My wife enjoyed her Sunday lunch trio, especially the beef which melted in her mouth. The only downside was the thin and watery gravy. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing. Overall, I would definitely consider returning. Just a heads up - make sure to input your car registration at the bar to avoid a fine.

I was expecting more as we have eaten here before and the food has been great in the past. Today's Sunday roast just wasn't that good. The giant Yorkshire puddings were burnt and tasteless, the bowl of 3 veg was basically just undercooked cauliflower with a few pieces of cabbage mixed in, the meat sat on top of the roast potatoes (only 3) so they weren't crispy, the few parsnips were completely dried out and hardly edible, on the plus side the lamb was delicious and plentiful and so was the gravy. The staff couldn't have been nicer and friendlier that is also a big plus as well as the great building.
