    Good food. Service great - until food arrived, afterwards literally ignored by all staff, so be sure to order enough wine and water with your food to last you until you leave

    We had booked a table on a busy sunny Saturday! We arrived a few minutes late and could tell the staff were very busy but they did their best to help us. The menu was extensive and we were excited to choose and everyone was pleased with their choices. I would say for myself I had the lunch steak sandwich which said sirloin steak but when I ordered the sandwich and was asked my cooking preference, the waitress said it was a skirt steak. It was tasty but the size of the steak inside the ciabatta was very small. Anyway, I would recommend, lovely location on Blackheath and off the beaten path. Lots of lovely doggies too which was a plus haha

    Hi Hannah, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit, the atmosphere, and the food selection. We truly appreciate your understanding of how busy Saturdays can be, and we’re glad our team was able to accommodate you. Regarding the steak sandwich, we appreciate your feedback and will review how we communicate the cut of steak used to ensure clarity for our guests. We’re pleased that you still found it tasty and that the charm of Blackheath (and the lovely dogs!) added to your experience. We’d love to welcome you back again soon! Kind regards, Natalia

    Service was great, but food was very average but I suppose standard universal pub food. We had a large party behind us, and the noise became deafening so we went outside to sit on a Blackheath bench with our plastic glasses to finish our drinks. Not a great experience.

    Hi Theresa, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your visit didn’t fully meet your expectations. While we aim to offer high-quality food and a welcoming atmosphere, we understand that tastes vary, and we appreciate your honest feedback. Regarding the noise, we always strive to create a comfortable environment for all our guests, though sometimes the lively nature of the pub can lead to a bit more background buzz. We’ll certainly take your comments on board to ensure we manage this better in the future. We do hope you’ll give us another chance, and we’d love to welcome you back for a more enjoyable experience. Kind regards, Natalia

    Service was impeccable as always, staff super friendly and looked after my dog giving her treats and cuddles. They have new dishes on the menu and the trout was my favourite along with the fried buttermilk chicken. Strongly recommend!

    We have been to the hare and billet a few times now for Sunday roast and I don’t know how they do it but it gets better every time. I had the lamb and they don’t short on the portion and the trimmings were spot on fresh veg and great roast potatoes and of course the Yorkshire. The staff are very friendly and spot on with the service I can’t wait for my next Sunday visit.

    Hi, Thank you for such a lovely review, our menu is slightly changing from this Sunday and getting even better, looking forward to welcoming you again soon. I will pass the comment to my chef! Kind regards, Natalia

    What a lovely evening. The atmosphere last night was brilliant. The staff worked very hard all evening serving both meals and drinks very efficiently. The quizmaster was excellent and made the whole evening such fun.
