Blackfriars Restaurant boasts a beautiful atmosphere with friendly service and an impressive wine and beer list. While the traditional English fare may be a bit dated and in need of a makeover, the quality ingredients shine through in dishes like the pressed Northumberland ox tongue. The cheese and wine pairing event was enjoyable and educational, with a lovely old room setting. Visitors highly recommend the Chicken Wellington and delightful desserts. Despite some dishes being served lukewarm, the flavors were still exceptional. The Christmas menu was described as sublime, featuring delicious options like Beef Wellington and boozy plum pavlova. Overall, Blackfriars offers a unique and enjoyable dining experience, with attentive staff and optional service charge well-deserved.

A lovely place for a special birthday, decent food which was well presented. Locally sourced ingredients and an extensive cellar of wine... apx £75 a head including a couple of glasses of wine. Visit slightly marred by absolutely foul(as in 100% his mother would be ashamed) language from adjacent table hey ho. In all a lovely evening

Wonderful Sunday Lunch for Grandsons Birthday. Everything was perfect the location in a Historic Building dating from 1239 the Blackfriars Priory. The ambience, the carved wooden dining chairs, the huge wooden tables along with the professionalism of the staff at all levels made the day. The food was piping hot at table, and as we eat with our eyes firstly, the presentation made us all want to pause the conversation and enjoy. All the staff on the day made a wonderful dining experience we will be back for more of the same. Alan R.

We had a late lunch/early dinner here on Christmas Eve to celebrate my birthday. The menu on offer was the Christmas menu, however, there were plenty of things to choose from. A slight niggle for me is when there are set menus but some courses require a supplement and it felt like there were quite a lot of them to keep the headline price down. That said, we did very much enjoy our meals. The food was well cooked and tasty and the inclusion of a glass of fizz, tea or coffee afterwards and a mince pie were a nice touch; as were the Christmas hats. Given that the restaurant was full, the service was very good and attentive. Our waiter; a Lithuanian guy whose name we didn't get was warm and friendly and he is a real credit to the restaurant. It's not the cheapest place in town, but it's a lovely setting with great food which I actually think makes it good value for what you get.

Lovely food from the Christmas menu. Restaurant was busy but it didn't feel overly crowded or rushed which was nice for this time of year. Very good service. Nice bar to sit in prior to meal
