The Blackwood Arms Country Inn

I rang to book and was offered a small table which I said was fine. When we sat down the table next door was vacant and lunch service was coming to an end. About ten minutes after we sat down a staff member sat at the large table and ate her lunch. No big deal but a poor start. We shared a pate which was very good and the rustic breads with olive oil and balsamic. The olive oil was dreadful and the balsamic seemed stuck to the bottom of the dish. Disappointing but again o big deal. I ordered the crab cakes, as soon as the meal arrived I could see I would be disappointed. The crab cake looked like it had been deep fried five times. It was dry and very poor really. My wife had the goats cheese...

We visited this pub for the first time half way round a walk through Burnham Beeches. Muddy boots welcomed and a log fire awaited us. Such a warm welcome by bar staff who showed us to our table although we were a little early. Three of us ordered the fish pie and a fourth the local sausages with mashed potato and onion gravy. Fish pie was absolutely delicious and piping hot with a selection of fresh vegetables. Sausages with mashed potatoes and onion gravy was also excellent and a generous portion. Although the dessert menu looked very interesting we were too full to sample it. Coffee was taken and was served piping hot. Great walk with a new found country pub. Can’t wait to next visit.

Cant rate this high enough! From our arrival the team here were on point, getting us seated, drinks, menu and then orders. The pub was really busy but the staff didn't miss a beat, friendly and attentive throughput even when it was getting busier. The food was great and plentiful. Was a throughly enjoyable Sunday lunch and I can understand why it was bustling the whole time. Well done to the staff great job and will definitely come back

Wow!!! Lovely country pub that has been in Midsomer Murders no less. Never had such good pub food, it was excellent as was the service and the hosts very friendly. I had moules frites, friends had fish grill, crab cakes and a delicious chicken dish. Dog friendly, relaxed and very comfortable. Lovely interior. I’d travel a long way to come back here.

The recent shining reviews are spot on, cannot fault the pub at all. some had crabcakes, some had chicken, both were very well prepared and delicious. Portions were just right for us and service was impeccable. A lot of pubs could learn from this one. Just a shame that we don't live closer.
