Food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Couldn't fault anything and as a result, I'm returning in a few weeks before my next trip to the theatre.

I bought this for a birthday grift for my wife as we have always wanted to try the event, having done various others, and ate at the restaurant a few times. The knowledge, and quality of the food and wine was incredible. The evening and other guests really helped and could not recommend the experience enough to others looking at trying. In the current climate, it feels like this is a really good price, for an amazing experience. It’s not something you can probably do regularly, but for a special ocassion or a one off, I really don’t think the price can be questioned. Chris, the chef, was very good at explaining each dish while he was there, but had to say that Will showed such an amazing love for this job! It’s fantastic when people have that much passion for the job, as it definitely impacts positively on the atmosphere for those there for the experience. Will definitely be back to Blackfriars again, and would not hesitate to come back for the chef’s table again

The place is spotless especially the toilets. We only had a coke and bacon and sausage bun but was very pleased with the taste and value. Overall would recommend visiting and eating there.

    If you know the Tram Blacks Corner Boldon or Blacks Corner Fenwicks then you know the food is excellent and this new venture serves up the same standard. We went on Monday after the opening and there is still a way to go for the front of house staff to bed in. That said it was thoroughly enjoyable and a great asset to the City. We will be returning on a regular basis and might try the Cheese belt next time. It’s a first and looked brilliant. Go try both the restaurant and the cheese belt. Also visit the CultureHiuse it’s brilliant
