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.

blackfriars restaurant claims to be "time-respected, traditional British and the oldest dining room in Britain." it is safe old: frankly, it could do with a good makeover. after the assembly of a floor-high pubs, with bewitches on the deck and tatty wood furniture, he zigzags the local box with a laminated map of his suppliers on each table. but good ingredients are worthless without great cooking and unfortunately this is where this “historical” food is established.

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.
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

with a beautiful atmosphere, friendly, well-known service this place is hard to beat. a fantastic wine and beer list supplements eating with interesting aromes. a twist on a traditional English tariff. we were once and cannot wait to come back.

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
