Bit torn on this as originally we wanted the Ox cheek but were told it was sold out (it probably is as good as it sounds then. The dishes we then went for lacked alot of flavour and it would be hard to see this just being a one off. Also seems like they tried to put too many tables into the space they have, so it also felt quite cramped. Below par for what I originally expected.

The steaks were cooked nicely. Decent char and juicy inside. The menu was limited for selection and not a great amount of sides to chose from. Service was slow, took a while to get our drinks but the servers were nice.

If you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere with good quality food and wine at reasonable prices then this is not for you. The waiting staff were attentive which is it's only good point. I accept it is getting into the Christmas season which accounts for the noisy corporate clientele but even the background music was too loud. It was a struggle to talk over it all. The only choice was a three course set menu which at £37.50 per head was very disappointing. Wine at £33 was at least drinkable!

I really wanted to like it here, and I really wanted it to be a cut above the Miller and Carter we went to a few days before. Even more so because we took relatives who were visiting from abroad. Unfortunately however, once we got past the lovely ladies on the door, everything took a bit of a nose dive. The atmosphere was a little subdued, but then it was a Wednesday evening so we'll let that slide. The waiting staff, though they were going the motions, didn't really appear to want to be there. I don't know if they had just had a dressing down or a bad meeting but something was clearly off. The food came out in a timely manner, but other than the nice pork, was very average. The steaks were gristly and a bit tough, also all three steaks were under done and lacking a little in flavour. (Sad looking food pictured) To add insult to the average food and the sullen staff, was the above average price followed by an even further above average (undeserved) service charge. Overall, if you want better steak, more attentive staff with probably over 20% off and, in some cases parking... Go to a Miller and Carter. Would have been 3 stars if the service charge wasn't rather rudely put on the bill automatically.

My first impressions of Blackhouse were beautiful exteriors and interiors. Comfy seats and nice atmosphere. Staff were attentive but beware the 12% service charge, which in all fairness was pointed out to me before I paid. Menu was good. I had an oak smoked and pear salad which was delicious and priced at £12.50. We shared a lively houmous dip to start and my daughter had rump steak which although a little chewy was very tasty, £27. The steak didn’t come with anything though which I found surprising at that price. All in all very nice but pricey.
