The Three Blackbirds

Amazing home cooked sunday carvery, easily the best Roast I have had anywhere locally. The warm chocolate brownie and icecream was the best I have ever tasted and it's my go to pudding! Staff are really friendly and make you feel really welcome which can be unusual in a village pub! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Charming and inviting pub with a unique atmosphere. We visited after a day out and received a warm welcome. We tried the goat curry and prawn linguine, both of which were delicious, followed by a delightful apple crumble. The owners were extremely kind and dedicated to providing top-notch personal service. We definitely plan on returning in the future.

Surprisingly good! One gentleman doing everything! With a friendly helpful disposition- I had the steak kidney pudding, mash, peas extra gravy. Piping hot, tasty, big portion (I ate it all!! and I thought it was great! Difficult to find info online in advance. Limited menu in the current circumstances which us understandable. I would recommend will return. Ver carta

The staff at this restaurant were kind and friendly, and the location was fantastic. The prices were really reasonable and there was a wide selection of drinks. I plan on trying the food next time I visit the area. I enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine, it was a charming atmosphere. I will definitely be returning. My only suggestion is to improve the maintenance of the outdoor seating area and possibly replace a few benches. Other than that, it was a nice place.

This was our first visit to this lovely little pub which has new owners who are working very hard to make it an excellent place to visit. Much care has been taken over the outdoor space which is now fenced in so suitable for children. The tables are being painted and there was a potted plant on each one. The toilets (I only visited the ladies : were top class and the little fairy lights in the bar gave it a cosy feel. We received a very friendly welcome and would certainly visit again when we are in the area.

Rang up in the morning and booked lunch for late afternoon carvery. This is our second visit here as we live locally, first time was not good either but decided to give it the benefit of doubt!Shocking poor service and quality of food. After accepting our booking, waited such a long time as restocking carvery actually ordered something to nibble on and was served several pieces of garlic bread and mayo??. Beef really tough and no carrots as finish, as worked in the food industry (new product development for ready meals to supermarkets) it’s just so bad!! Cold and dull interior with a wood burner which was not lit on a Sunday afternoon in January?? Why?? Will never return!! Ver carta

We first came to this pub on Monday and had such a lovely lunch with 2 friends after a good walk to Markyate and back, we booked the Sunday carvery for part of our family. The choice of meat, beef, ham and turkey, was all cooked to perfection and the plates were almost too small to take the lovely vegetables, yorkshire puddings, stuffing, gravy and sauces. It was all hot and served by friendly staff. The children's fish fingers and chips portions were an appropriate size and disappeared very quickly. The puddings for those who had room, were very pleasant and the coffee was piping hot. It was a pity the coffee machine was broken but the filter and hot milk was a satisfactory alternative. We...

I traveled from Kettering to Flamstead and Markyate to play the organ at two churches, leaving at 7:15 in the morning. I had pre-booked a meal at this pub through Facebook, and by 12:40 I was ready for Sunday lunch. The meal arrived quickly, as I had arrived early before the rush, and it was deliciously hot. The selection of vegetables was surprisingly large and very much welcomed, with a small portion of swede, carrot, cauliflower with cheese, cabbage, parsnip, and other vegetables that I can't quite remember. The meal also included three roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, and two slices of gammon with gravy. I returned a clean plate after finishing my meal. The apple crumble th...

Three of us met here in January for a mid week lunchtime catch up this was a new venue to all of us and one picked for the mid point location. The car park was limited but we had no problem parking and the pub was fairly quiet, several customers but no sense of crowding. We were made to feel very welcome and had a good look at the menu, which was as we'd expect for pub food. We really only wanted a main course and there was a really helpful response to a request to switch chips carbs for vegetables. My friends both had pies, the steak and ale was a substantial square pie, almost architectural. The mediterranean spiced chicken breast was cooked to perfection moist and tender and the vegetable...
