Reviews
We visited Blackfriars with a friend who was in town. The restaurant is a beautiful old building with lots of charm, with a dining area, a great hall (for functions) and a bar in a separate building across the way. Our meals were lovely, as was the service. The staff were extremely friendly and courteous. The ambience of the restaurant area is relaxed and laid back. It's just a beautiful place to dine! Downsides were we had to wait a little longer than expected for our meal (the lovely waiter brought us across some drinks to soften the delay) and my vegetarian friend was limited in her choice, as despite being advertised as vegetarian-friendly, there were only two veggie meals on the menu. The cost for the main meal for three, a nice bottle of wine, plus three desserts, was £140. Definitely not a budget option, but the food was lovely and service great. Diners before 7 pm can choose from a separate set menu which we didn't try, yet seemed good value.

Beautiful building, medieval vibe inside, lovely staff. The menu looks pretty standard & the portions aren't large, but it tastes absolutely divine & actually there is just the right amount for 3 courses to not leave you feeling over full. I don't remember there being any steps to get in but the space available for manoeuvre wouldn't be enough for a wheelchair and the outside ground is uneven. The restaurant was accommodating of children & babies.

Great night out.. we tried the wine tasting event accompanied by food. Absolutely 5 star all the way Great venue, great food, great wine also the chap who hosted event was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

I had a 3 course meal of scallops, fillet steak, and cheese board with the port pairing. I'm usually wary ordering steaks because I rarely get them cooked properly. I ordered medium rare and I cannot fault it at all. Presentation of all the dishes were second only to the flavours. The service was impeccable and all staff were well informed and so polite. The complimentary amuse-bouche were a perfect appetiser for the table. I cannot recommend Blackfriars enough and will certainly return to try more of the menu.

Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly, professional service and delicious food. I had the traditional Sunday roast beef lunch and all of the accompanying vegetables were very carefully cooked and presented, which isn't always the case in other restaurants. Gorgeous desserts too!
