Is it a bird? Is it a bank? No, it’s The Blackbird! You might be surprised to learn that this pub, with its gothic facade and dark, inviting interior, was once a branch of the Midland Bank. The Blackbird got its new lease on life in 1994 when it was transformed into a Fuller’s Ale & Pie House. You can still see hints of its grand banking past in the fine wooden panelling and antique embellishments. The name? It’s a nod to the traditional Blackbird Pie, made famous in the nursery rhyme “Sing a Song of Sixpence”. Today, The Blackbird is known for its warm atmosphere, delicious food, and of course, great beer. It’s a favourite haunt for locals and tourists alike, drawn in by its charm and a pint of Fuller’s finest. So why not step in, grab a table, and raise a glass to The Blackbird – a place where history and hospitality come together under one roof.
