The Blackbird, Ponteland are in the midst of celebrating the re-opening of their kitchen doors after an incredible six-figure investment and timely six-week refurbishment period. Formerly Ponteland Castle, The Blackbird Inn have fully launched their fully renovated kitchen after extensive works, which is said to have cost the company £225k.
The kitchen refurbishment will be accompanied by a new menu with the intention to offer a wider selection of dishes to new and existing customers. The new kitchen space was created to allow The Blackbird chefs the freedom to be able to deliver new techniques and approaches to the food being served within the pub. The menus will also maintain menu favourites like the ‘posh fish finger’ sandwich on the bar food menu and the famous ‘Blackbird Beef Burger’ on the A La Carte Menu. Operations Director, Stuart Young, talked about the new menus, he said: “As well as our bar and restaurant menus which have received a complete revamp to include more dishes and some new techniques we’ve not used before. We have worked to create a new bar snacks and nibbles menu as an alternative to the ubiquitous crisps and nuts.” Not only has the kitchen updated the menus this summer, the Ponteland pub has also welcomed new Assistant General Manager Mark Thompson to the team. Mark has over 20 years within the catering business and previously worked for The White Swan Inn in Dinnington. The new menus and renovated kitchen are fully functional at The Blackbird situated in the heart of Ponteland Village.
