About us

Reopened in 2010 after 18 months of closure, this attractive low-ceiling thatched pub has been lovingly restored. To the left of the entrance is the well-beamed Farmyard Bar with tiled floor, two brick fireplaces and stools at a brick built bar counter with tiled "roof". The stable yard bar to the right has bare board floors and a more contemporary feel - a large restaurant area lies beyond. A private dining room - the Gun Room - seats 14. The menu changes daily depending on what is freshest and best quality at the time. The Blackbirds changed hands in early 2015 but retained its balance between village pub and restaurant. The beers are often from smaller regional breweries.

The Blackbirds has been closed again for a year (reopening on 24th March 2017). An accommodation block (due to open early 2018) is being added to the rear.

We were travelling back from North Wales and originally booked for 7.30pm but journey was better than expected so extremely happy when we were able to be accommodated an hour earlier. Staff were very friendly and efficient despite a few very short power cuts. The food was well presented, good portions and very taste. The restaurant was warm and cosy. Thank you

Forgotten how good the food was here, we had an amazing Sunday roast with friends. Food was well presented and delicious, the whole place has a warm and friendly atmosphere. Staff are extremely helpful. Highly recommend

Really lovely rooms with lush decor; big fan of the his and hers sinks! Food was lovely but best of all were the staff! They were so attentive, so welcoming of our dog and really went above and beyond! Will certainly return 🙌🏻

We visited for my husbands birthday. There was a cosy atmosphere, the fires were lit. We were well attended to and asked if we wanted more drinks when they were empty. The managers on duty were extremely attentive and friendly. There were a couple of out of stock products but this wasn’t an issue as it was explained beforehand. The food was incredible. Overall a wonderful visit and we will definitely come back.

Really lovely pub, gorgeous rooms, really nice, friendly, helpful staff. Loved the dog bed, ball and treats in our room - our dog was very happy. Food was delicious and well cooked but slightly limited range. Would have preferred a good chicken or veggie option on the menu (not vegan) or some vegetables served with the fish and chips. Something a bit healthier, less indulgent. But a fantastic place overall.
