The 45 best beer gardens in Northumberland

Although the location is more than ideal, and so is the actual garden bar. But the service is extremely slow. And I appreciate the lack of bar workers nowadays but the management and staff they have are mostly not bothered and moving like they don’t want to be there. It took 45 min to take an order and another 30 to deliver it …it was 2 pints! After that we had 10 min to finish drinks before we got kicked out of our table. The crowed is very specific too, and 50/50 mix of students and ever so complaining Karen’s

We went on a Sunday morning. Children entertainment is spot-on, but the bar menu is too expensive, plus they did not have any smoothies (although on the menu) and they brought us only the main within the 3 course children menu. When i asked they eventually brought the starter (it was supposed to be small doughnuts balls, but we were brought some toasted bread with 1 slice of celery and 2 slices of carrots). Overall overpriced and delivering a poor experience compare to what you pay.

Such a great concept but so poorly executed. While the staff were friendly, the operations were shockingly bad. Overpriced drinks took 45mins-1hour to arrive at our table, barely any alcohol-free options and food suitable for those with dietary requirements, and some of our party had to pay £2 entry fee while others weren't charged. Won't be returning.

Doesn’t even deserve 1 star. £2 entry fee, waited 10 minutes to be seated at the table we’d pre booked, spent £90 on drinks between 4 and after waiting over an hour and asking staff several times decided on a refund which was cash after paying by card. So essentially it’s a cash machine with a one hour wait but you get to sit round an unlit fire in surroundings that make you feel like you should be wearing a hi vis and hard hat.

We went on a Tuesday, which is 2 for 1 on all drinks (with £3 entry) so really makes the drinks a decent price, although you have to get the exact same drink. Other days it seems a bit pricey but the area is really beautiful. Enjoyed it there a lot.

£3 entry fee upon arrival which isn't stated when booking. Then slow table service with staff who are uninterested in helping you. Plastic glasses and rip off prices. 10L pitchers unavailable as were half the draught beers. Very disappointing.

Great venue and concept but the slow service really needs addressing as there's plenty of other reviews that mention this too. We waited a long time for drinks and had to chase them serveral time. If you need more staff on hand it's time to address the problem. Waiting 45mins for 2 beers is ridiculous.

Josh was so lovely, he moved us tables so we were not affected by the wind, de-foamed the Guinness with out complaint amongst other things! He was so great!!!

Lauren served us, the most friendly outgoing girl I have met! So attentive and very talkative making sure we enjoyed our drinks and were satisfied throughout! Will definitely be back all thanks to Lauren!!

Wasn't sure on the staff at first as they didn't greet us when we first arrived on the roof terrace, but we soon found them to be friendly and very attentive. The food was excellent although a little bit slow between courses, however that was fine with us as we were there for a leisurely lunch with drinks as well.

Had lunch today we are regulars and always have the special but they no longer do it. I had the Moroccan lamb and it was disgusting, £19 I wish I had taken a photo, certainly wouldn’t recommend it. Place was empty so not sure if chef has changed and the normal lovely staff weren’t in

Nice meal, service was spot on. Atmosphere and decor give good ambience

The food was good and the staff was very nice and professional but we had long waiting time ... we were waiting more than 20min to start ordering the drinks and the same to order the meal...

I had the bang bang chicken salad. I was a bit disappointed as the salad was like a bag of salad with carrot red cabbage etc not Asian veg as described on the menu. I noticed there were long green beans which were nice and chopped fresh chilli. The chicken was nicely charred. The dressing was more like olive oil which was too much for me personally. No other taste which I would have expected more from bang bang salad.

Visited for afternoon tea. Food very nice, views excellent, staff friendly and helpful. But, we spent 2 weeks attempting to email and call to use a voucher (as per the instructions on their voucher) and got no confirmation. Eventually managed to speak to someone the day beforehand who confirmed our booking verbally. On arrival the staff seemed confused by our voucher and said the till didn't really like voucher codes. Eventually got that sorted, but seeing as the voucher was from their own company it should have been far simpler. Cocktails nice, but very expensive. The room is totally out of keeping with the rest of the hotel - very bright blue lights. We would go back, but wouldn't bother with the faff of the voucher. It's worth going for one drink for a look at the views, but I wouldn't pay for a second round

We were staying in the attached hotel, Vermont, and came here after a meal for a night cap. We didn't book but got offered a table on the terrace which was ideal as it was quiet and good for conversation. The place got busy as the evening progressed and Im not sure you would get in without a booking. Service was attentive without being over bearing, and the cocktails were fun. Views were great over the Tyne.

We celebrated my daughters 30th birthday recently, side room leading to the roof terrace. Can I firstly state the reception staff and concierges were excellent. We had about 35 persons celebrating within the room, we had a minimum spend of £2k and had left a £500 deposit. The general manager (Above) George was literally so helpful, nothing was a problem, as was Travis and Jack on the bar. We covered the minimum spend, as a special moment George brought out some small plates buffet, which was really appreciated. All and all we had a great night. Only one issue, the £500 deposit. It has taken almost two weeks to have this returned, I had to request help from George and head office staff. But other than would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Fantastic views over Newcastle. Service was rubbish, taken to an outdoor table, and after waiting 20 minutes for service, we left There were a dozen staff trying to look busy indoors, and with only 20 groups service should have been quick. It could do with some low level lighting outside. Other than the view there is nothing to recommend for this bar.

We got married 23rd September and had our evening reception in ABOVE, what an incredible venue to host such an amazing special day! We were looked after from start to finish by the amazing Lukas and of course can’t forget about Fai and her incredible team! We cannot thank Fai and the ABOVE staff enough for what they delivered for our evening reception… XOXO The Burdens

Recently had afternoon tea at Above for my daughters hen do. It was all great.Amelia one of the waitresses was a superstar and looked after us so well. A happy smile helpful service and great advice . She helped make the afternoon even more special .

We visited on 10th August 2025. Not a good experience. Waited a long time for serving staff to come over and then again for our drinks. The table was dirty and the menus sticky. The cocktails had excessive ice, making them far weaker than normal. Completely overpriced for the quality we received. What is more disgraceful is that I have sent emails of complaint not only to the bar but also to the hotel it sits above. I have also used a contact form on the website. They have completely ignored every one of my communications. Poor experience and even worse customer service, they need to act their together. They got 2 stars for the great view from the bar.

The fries were good, but the vegan fish was… just not it. Plus, the two small slices of tofu [vegan fish] definitely weren’t worth the price. On another visit, we had to wait over an hour for two bowls of soup, which was frustrating. That said, they do have nice nachos! The place itself has a really nice vibe, with great interior design and music that adds to the atmosphere. It’s also located in a fantastic area!

Lovely little spot for a pint, especially on a day like today when the sun is shining. It was quite busy but what else can you expect with such nice weather, and a Saturday lunch time at that! A little on the expensive side at £5.95 a pint for a cider, so while it was nice, I probably wouldn't rush back. Excellent service too, especially with how many people were there. I would recommend getting there as early as possible in order to get a table as they fill up quick. We were lucky to get one as we arrived just prior to opening.

Good vibes but small portions for food annd fish n chips is not good, not even sure what it’s meant to be as a vegan substitute. Burgers are crap. Beers are good that’s it.

Great vegan roast, do wish maybe there was one more vegetable instead of two types of potatoes! Sticky toffee pudding was nice, did not enjoy the custard, had a weird powdered taste/mouth feel. Really lovely pub with nice decor and ambience. Good prices for the food too.

Absolutely love coming here, I was just getting over an illness so the food here was perfect for helping me recover 🥳 The fish and chips were incredible and the "chicken" patty had a great taste 👍

Only good thing was the weather today, everything else was abysmal. 1 Main course, 1 from kids menu, extra portion of chips, pint and half a shandy £41 WOW!! All followed by service with the attitude, really bad taste of the what I was told is Staropramen beer (everything but or they haven't cleaned pipes in really long time) and food that was mediocre at most. This is by far the worst place in every aspect we have ever been in really long time now. Needless to say wouldn't come back and wouldn't recommend it at all.

Fully vegan food offering, great to have a choice instead of limited to one or two (if you're lucky) items on a menu Not high end but tasty, filling and well presented.

Beautiful Inn, staff were lovely and friendly. The food was amazing. The rooms are a little on the smaller size, but perfect, if you like us, just want to pop your head down for the night before going off again. The room had aircon, which was perfect. Parking was easy, and we loved going and feeding the animals that are kept there.

Planned a baby shower here today for my sister in law. From planning to preparing for event and during event, it went smoothly. The staff are so helpful and gave me time and space to set everything up. Had help with cake and balloons from small businesses around the area!! The day was absolutely fantastic and I don’t think it could have gone any better. The food was amazing and definitely worth the money. Continuous flow of teas and coffee were provided to our friends and family who attended the event and the staff just made everything easy. The afternoon flowed nicely and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had the space for 4 hours which was more than enough time to hold our event. I helped tidy up after, cleaning all the things I had placed out and even helped the staff with put away candles and flowers they had placed for us. I really appreciate all the help we had been giving on the day of our event (Sunday 29th June) we all had an amazing time and thank you to the staff that made the day flow and who were ever so kind to us also! Thank you again for letting us book the space. I would highly recommend 😊

Lovely day & night at South Causey Inn, to celebrate the wedding of Marty & Jamie-leigh. The most beautiful setting & amazing food. Attentive staff. The venue for the wedding, ' The Barn', was beautiful inside & very elegant. And the breakfast was lovely. Very impressed with the overall experience of South Causey Inn & we had a wonderful day & night.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the pleasure of staying at South Causey Inn in Durham for the wedding of Lauren and Ryan, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The rooms were absolutely wonderful — full of charm and comfort. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful or welcoming, making the whole stay feel special from start to finish. The food was delicious and full of flavour, with every meal a real treat. A magical place for a magical day, and very highly recommended by our little ones, Nina and Lettie, too. Thank you for the memories!

We got married at the South Causey Inn in the Old Barn on the 23rd of May, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. From start to finish, the wedding team made everything seamless and stress-free. Steph and Stacey were incredible in the lead-up to the big day. They were always available to answer any questions, and the regular meetings helped us feel supported and totally at ease with the planning process. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. On the day itself, Stacey looked after us and she was absolutely amazing. She had everything under control and ensured every little detail was exactly how we wanted it – we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her calm, friendly presence made a huge difference and allowed us to really enjoy the day. We also want to give a big shout-out to Jack on the bar – he was fantastic and brought great energy to the evening. So many of our guests commented on how helpful and friendly all the staff were. Thank you so much to the whole team at South Causey Inn – for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. ❤️

We paid to use the pub stop facility and parked up for two nights. We were given a voucher to use on food and drink each night.Staff were welcoming and helpful. We ate in the restaurant both nights.Excellent food, huge portions!. Would definitely stay at South Causey Inn again.

We’ve just spent the weekend at South Causey Inn for a wedding. Our rooms were well appointed, clean and stocked with all the necessary toiletries and drink making supplies. Our two night stay was very comfortable and the air conditioning a boon! The arrangements for the wedding day, held in the farmhouse, were superb; the attention to detail did not disappoint and the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Clearly customer satisfaction is a high priority for South Causey Inn. I would highly recommend this venue for all celebratory events.

Not one of my favourites but is decent. I’ve only ever had food from here once, it was just alright. I do like the layout of the building and particularly appreciate its history. Not sat in the beer garden yet but seems like a pretty good atmosphere.

Best lunch deal ive ever had. I asked if it was a smaller portion because it was so cheap and it wasnt! I had the chicken tikka flatbread with chips and it was so tasty. Added to that was very friendly service from Beth who is just a delight and the chef even checked in on us...a lovely man. Cant recommend enough. We will be back!

I always look for the oldest pub wherever I am, this is it in Newcastle. But it is a party pub. Everyone was having a great time, but this is not a “sit in the corner in a quiet old pub” vibe.

This review is about the service alone, me and my partner had made a mistake with our food order. Completely our fault! But our lovely waitress, Beth, corrected it for us. She was beyond lovely, really pleasant to be served by her. Would definitely recommend visiting. For the lovely food and atmosphere but more importantly for the brilliant service from all staff, but especially Beth. Thank you again.

We booked a two person bottomless - unfortunately it was slightly last minute but the two people who accommodated us (I sadly didn’t get their names but one was blonde and alternative and the other was a tall brown haired guy) were both so sweet and made sure we got our moneys worth! The drinks were lovely (I was allowed to try an aperol spritz for the first time but also was allowed to get another drink at the same time in case i didn’t like it) and the food was amazing. Will and can’t wait go again :).

Came today for a bottomless brunch for my birthday. Drinks and food lovely but even better than that all of the staff were so lovely, friendly and attentive. Beth and Hendrick mainly served us and couldn’t do enough to make sure we had a good time, What a credit to the venue your staff are. Would highly recommend and will be back. Thanks for a lovely afternoon.

We booked for a student brunch. Nowhere were we told that it was 1.5hrs and not 2hrs like it is advertised. Drinks took 10 mins to be orders from when we asked to order. We were aware of the £5pp deposit which we paid but then £360 was requested via email without any prior communication. Have had much better bottomless brunches elsewhere in Newcastle.

Visited this weekend as we were staying in the area for a couple of nights and I had high hopes based on reviews and recommendations - sadly it didn't quite live up to expectations for me. It is a lovely pub and the garden is lovely to have a drink in the sun. The food however was a bit of a let down. My partner had the steak and ale pie with chips - he said the pie was good but the chips were so heavily salted they were difficult to eat. I had the squash rigatoni - the pasta itself was undercooked and chewy, rather than al dente, and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. Both main courses were just a bit disappointing for the price. Desserts were nice, thankfully - would recommend the pecan pie and the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake.

What a great pub with interesting craft beers brewed on site. Lovely outside area to explore and plenty of space. Food was tasty albeit a bit pricey and could have done with some greens with the pie. Dog friendly which is a bonus. Would definitely come back.

Rang and booked a table within 45 mins even though it was busy when we got there. We decided to sit outside In the sun. Had a nice out door area, spacious with plenty of seats. We went on a Sunday so there was only a sunday dinner menu. I had the beef, plenty food on the plate but there could have been a bit more meat for what I paid for it. Was all really tasty mind. Dog friendly too. Oh and they have fruity cider on tap. Winner winner.

Great pub, excellent cask ales brewed on the grounds, service was spot on for such a large grounds. Including the multiple outdoor seating areas. Dinner was great. The chicken parpadell, sea bass and fancy fisherman’s pie were all great. Do recommend, also situated right in the middle of the best and most vigorous section of the Hadrians wall hike.

Lovely pub, situated on the military road, 5 minutes from Steel Rigg carpark by foot. Buy the local beer, then afterwards buy it in the shop. Also Twice Brewed is beside a YHA.

Just back from a fabulous weekend with our choir. We had a twin room which was small but comfortable. Staff were fabulous, very efficient and attentive. Restaurant staff remembered I was Gluten free the second morning and had gluten free bread ready for me beside the toaster used specifically for gluten free. Such attention to detail, and remembering your guests makes you feel so safe. Evening meal choice was very limited for gluten free. A bigger selection would have made the stay so much better. However, the warm welcome and great atmosphere ensures we will be back next time. See you soon

Perfect pub/hotel for walkers. Loved the beer! Had a great night's sleep after an excellent evening meal, with attentive staff. Breakfast was good and we took advantage of the packed lunch option. Dog friendly - the requirement to sit in the bar rather than the 'white table cloth' restaurant was fine

We had a lovely time at City Tavern. We had a yummy lunch, including gluten free beer on tap. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian food options available. The vibe inside was lovely and the staff were really really nice and very attentive!! There was free wifi, free charging ports and very comfy chairs. An added bonus is that they show movies for free at 2pm, 5pm and 8pm everyday on their giant outdoor screen!! Such a great vibe, definitely recommend as a stop in during a day in Newcastle.

We had the upstairs for a private event, but the whole of the tavern was gorgeous and fun! The decor was neat, the drinks fresh, and the service impeccable. Fair warning - they aren't joking about the 'giant' Yorkshire pudding, it spans a huge dinner plate!

Absolutely fantastic venue. I organised a scavenger hunt at work and wanted to hide some challenges round the pub. I didn't call ahead, just turned up on the day, hoping they would accommodate. The manager on shift helped out and even joined in by hiding a challenge himself. Super service!!!! I have been here a number of times now, and enjoyed every visit.

Lovely pub, great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere. Dog friendly :)

Wow, why haven't I ever been here before. Great pub and eatery in the middle of Newcastle. real home cooked food and an array of beverages alcoholic and non alcoholic. Plenty of choice for meat eaters and vegan options. Portions huge!! Staff were lovely and friendly, atmosphere was great too. Decor was fab, so well done. Definitely recommend to anyone. Dog friendly 😌 Gluten free menu 👌

Two meals and two drinks for just over £40 about the going rate now for everywhere. Food was nice (Cajun chicken burger, Slaw, Chips) wasn't much choice from the menu which is sometimes a good thing, veggie options are limited. Service was quick and efficient, still not sure why they have a perspex cover infront of the till which make communication with staff at the bar weird. Someone at the bar asked for Crayon's and to my surprise behind me there was what appeared to be a kids bday party?? it's a pub not a crèche what's wrong this these People? at one point some parents left their kids to leave the pub?? Mind boggles. It's definitely something I've noticed eating out in town these days people are treating pubs as playgrounds for their kids.

Avoid, been for lunch today and spent £47 on 2 sandwiches with chips and 2 drinks. Beef was tough with watery gravy and the fish fingers sandwich had next to no fish in it just batter, definitely not homemade bread and they even managed to make the chips bland. The waiter avoided us once the food arrived and we noticed they only cleared plates once customers had left. Obviously not wanting to hear complaints. As we left 3 lady's were sending back their meals, really wished we had done the same. Expensive drinks and rubbish food would not recommend.

What a fantastic roast dinner. One of the best I’ve ever had. Beef cooked to perfection. Giant yorkshires and the red cabbage was something special. The best bit? The doggo din dins. 🐾

Great little gem in the centre of Newcastle. We didn’t pre booked (which I highly recommend), but staff was very accommodating to find us a table. Food was excellent, great selection of local Gin and Ales. No blaring music is great bonus.

Nice clean pub. Has an upstairs beer garden. Didn’t try the food, but has a good pint of Guinness.

Amazing Steak Ciabatta, lovely staff and great drinks. Most definitely will be back.

Nice mixed sunday roast (beef, Pork, chicken) With mash, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, veggies.. For 20£ - IPA 7£ Ordering at 17h30, it was sad they told us we could not get dessert anymore as the kitchen was closed when we asked for it at 18h20 while noone asked if we wanted some.. Friendly waiters.

Love this place. Lovely food, kind staff and great atmosphere. I always come back. It has two floors, and two terraces. Good for walk-ins and you can also reserve tables. Very recommended

We went to The Bridge Tavern for lunch with our son. The two bartenders were very friendly and chatted to us. They were helpful in suggesting choices from the menu and yelling us about their experiences of Newcastle. Both of them were exceptional ambassadors for the town and for the pub. The food was lovely.

This was a visit on the valentines weekend which may have not reflected well as it was busy and we felt rushed, however the food was good presentation was beautiful, the tempura and prawns were great, unfortunately was let down by some of the other combinations which weren’t to my liking. Although I would like to try the food again on a regular weekend to have the full experience and give it another shot.

Lovely setting and great friendly service. Food wasn’t great, more style over substance. The avocado was over processed and almost artificial and the toast became soggy. Looked very presentable though. Would go again for drinks but not for food😔

Top tier scran. Yes, we came with 50% off small plates with the September deal, but for quality and execution would pay full price tomorrow. Incredibly impressed with both the meat and vegan offerings - enough choice for the latter to not feel restricted. Portion size was generous and well worth standard pricing. We had red pepper houmous (VE), truffle potatoes (VE), shittake mushrooms (VE), miso carrot (VE), chickpea fritters (VE), ratatouille (VE), pork belly, jerk trout, paneer and steak. Chickpea fritters (VE) and pork belly were our highlights, special mention to the paneer - as big as your hand!!! Additionally, we couldn't fault the service. Wish we'd got the name of our server (blonde, glasses, very personable), helped make our evening enjoyable. Can't wait to return.

We went on a Sunday morning for breakfast with friends. It wasn’t busy and the service was quick. We tried quite a few of the dishes. The pancakes with the yogurt and the granola were good with plenty of fresh berries. The avocado cream on the avo on toast dish was too much, and could have used a bit more seasoning but the sourdough bread was nice. The Shloumi plate was tasty and filling, the eggs well cooked but unfortunately we got the wrong sauce. The biscoff pancakes were the highlight as it was the best dish we tried, not heavy at all and we all enjoyed sharing it. The coffee was also good. A plus is that is also dog friendly! Nice ambiance!

Beautiful 3 flooring restaurant with a stylish botanical dining area. Very good customer service , we felt accommodated throughout. Our waiter was nice, talkative and approachable. She made our experience more lovely. But unfortunately our food wasn't as impressive as we thought it would be. The time it took to make the dish took a little too long when it was quiet. Although I did enjoy the presentation of the dish and the steak texture, very soft and savoury, it melts well in your mouth but the overall taste was quite normal, I only wished the vegetables were cooked a bit more as it was still just raw and not barbecued and included more sauce for the steak.

I'd only been here for drinks before which were all amazing, so many cocktails to choose from. But came for food to celebrate a graduation and we had the best time. The person working, Sam, was amazing and she was fully attentive to all the tables even though it was busy and she was the only one working. The food we had was also so good. Lovely place with lots of plants and lights. Will definitely be coming again!

Went for brunch the day after the Great North Run. Suggested by our lad who lives in Newcastle but I wasn't sure at first as we had just had breakfast at the hotel. How wrong I was because the food was amazing and would definitely be visiting again!! Photos below!!!! Visit this place, you will not be disappointed!

Lovely spot under the Tyne bridge for coffee and brunch, I had the avocado on sourdough with poached eggs and it was lovely, a nice spice to it, great crunch bread, the coffee and chilled atmosphere was fabulous too, friendly helpful staff too, great spot and also worth the scenic walk across the Tyne to get to

Turned up at 8:15pm Saturday night on a bank holiday weekend and told they'd just called last orders. A star for the friendly doorstaff who let us go in. We figured we'd get a quick half and move on. The options were very mainstream (they had Guinness and Kopperburg for example). Looks like it could be nice, but my opinion was it wasn't really what it was advertising in beers or opening times

Popped in here for a pre dinner drink. Great location right on the river. Only the outside bar was operating. Because it's outside the drinks are served in plastic cups. Found it more expensive than the pubs, 20 pounds for 2 pints of beer and a gin and tonic.

Fab location with great selection of food outlets. We tried a couple and would highly recommend Dabbawal Indian street food! Point to improve: It’s on the expensive side (£7 a pint), the beer selection is small considering its a tap location and the app confusing. Didn’t take away from awesome location and fab food/drink atmosphere would defo recommend 😄

By far one of the best place to eat and drink in Newcastle & Gateshead. The location is perfect, the views are outstanding. Food from the restaurant, Träkol, is amazing and one of the most unique dining experiences in the area. There's also the HWKRMRKT if you just want to sample an exceptional showcase of the region's street food vendors.

The location is just perfect! Great outdoor seating and just such a cool and novel place. Beers were fab and the restaurant that is attached had some of thee best food me, my partner and my sister had ever tasted! Very very impressed and would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Great location for a start, right on the river, with views over to the Newcastle side, and catching the sun from early afternoon through to mid evening. There's a weekend street food market too.

Love this place and its location. Indoors quite traditional britisk pub. Decent selection of taps including cask. Large outdoor seating area, so specially on a nice sunny day its really nice here. They do serve food here. I had a german hot dog which was quite nice.

Food great. The one thing that I can't look past is that when it's busy they don't just let people wait at the bar in conventional fashion. We need to stop normalising single file queues (which often stretch way out of the door at busy times). Bars are designed as such that people stand along the length of it. If I want a drink I shouldn't have to leave the building.

I was introduced to the Tyne Bar in 2018. It was good to be back! Authentic is overused but this place is genuinely the real deal. Situated between the canal and the River Tyne, almost a hidden gem, but with plenty of locals to feed the atmosphere. We sat outside with drinks and home made brownies. Highly recommended 👏👏👏

Great place to eat and drink with a lovely view from the beer gardens. A group of us came by on Saturday and they kindly served us right away and got us fed quickly. Would definitely recommend 👌🏼

Check out this absolute beauty of a pint! Staff are friendly and efficient. Pub is fantastic. Top drawer boozer.

I sat outside on a quiet early autumn afternoon in the sun. Really relaxing, with a gentle breeze. The beer is very well kept and I couldn't fault the selection. Staff were excellent. Very welcoming and helpful. Not expensive and close enough to the centre to be a pleasant walk along the river. Definitely recommend here and will be back.

Visited Wednesday. Basking in the sun in the beer garden to the side, friendly staff. Very quick to get served as was very busy due to sunny rare days we having as of late. Cider never tasted so good. Big shout out goes to the young lass with dark hair who grafted the delivery that afternoon like a machine in the heat then offered the two delivery blokes a drink!! ☀️🍻

We have been here a few times over the past 3 yrs as we go to Newcastle quite regular for a break. Well we wnt last night 30/01/25, welcomed to the seat and noticed it was virtually empty. As we sat down the waiter then started to tell us wha was not available on the Menu. It turned out that there were 5 main courses and 2 starters not available, the majority of these being what we would have chosen. Well after a quick chat with my wife we decided to leave and go elsewhere for food. The waiters wernt particularly bothered and didnt even ask why we were leaving. If this is the start with the new owners, then its not going to go far, and this used to be a very busy, good restaurant/bar. Never again.

They serve greedy food and then have no actual restroom, only pop up toilets. 80% of their beer taps aren’t available on a Saturday night

The drinks were expensive and not a great range. Saw a fire dancer and a woman on stilts that was cool

Fab place, bottomless brunch was canny tho waited 20 mins for drinks which was ridiculous & ages for the food too but Shannon the Supervisor was great 👍

Amazing time at Kroud Kareoke. Just need to keep toilets tiptop throughout the night.

Nice atmosphere

A really enjoyable visit to The Botanist which is such a fun and funky place. A stunning glass dome with a huge tree in the middle of the bar and very cool decor throughout. James behind the bar made the best cocktails we have tasted for a long time and Jessie in the restaurant was a brilliant waitress. Will definitely return soon and would highly recommend it.

Visited here for an anniversary meal and a few drinks this evening and thoroughly enjoyed. Food was very good, a little pricey (around £60 including a 10% tip) but ok considering the occasion, and drinks were really enjoyable too. The service was also outstanding, big thanks to Megan for looking after us and helping us with our order. Also love the aesthetics of the venue too, I'm all here for eclectic places like this. Loved it!

The staff were SO nice and the setting is quite dreamy. The menu looked delicious too, the only reason I give it 4* for food is because the fries were a bit too salty for my taste. I will definitely come back if I ever come back to Newcastle 🎉

Had an amazing Brunch here with my Mom. The atmosphere was great with all the plants and light and decor, food delicious with good portion sizes, and our waitress Emily was friendly and welcoming! Would definitely recommend it!

Sooooo beautiful inside! I couldn't stop looking around. The drinks and food were also great and creative. Staff was friendly and prices reasonable. Definitely recommend going here! (Would go here so often if I would've lived in Newcastle)

Visited last night having booked a table for 3 and as requested a window seat overlooking the fabulous Xmas decorations and lights. Sophie our waitress was excellent and was very professional in looking after us. When we were offered a sweet I asked if any of the sweets came with custard (which I have a passion for) as they had chocolate sponge on the menu. I believe a trip by Sophie to the local Sainsbury’s produced a perfectly presented sweet with steaming hot custard. This wasn’t our first visit to the botanist and on other occasions the service has always been excellent but I believe Sophie’s kindness and professionalism made our visit that little bit more special- thank you.

If you’re looking for a instagramable place, this is it. I was there today with a colleague. Loved the atmosphere. So much varieties of drinks. Compared to the ambience, the prices of the drinks are cheap. Being a Saturday evening it wasn’t very difficult to find a place to sit. But recommend to book a table prior of it’s a weekend. Loved the drinks. Will definitely visit again.

Overall a very nice experience. Had a Caesar salad and an incredible French Martini recommended to me and made by a nice bartender, Brandon. Fun atmosphere, very pretty with it being right on the riverside with lots of sunlight. Would go again.

We were there for Bottomless Brunch ...food lovely though was surprised by the syrup and bacon in the flatbread ...was expecting back bacon and nothing on bread...drinks were plentiful and great selection to choose from and service from Barnaby in particular wss fabulous...he was so friendly and helpful

Visited on a stunning day and made the most of the outdoor seating area right by the river – such a lovely spot. Drinks were reasonably priced and arrived super quickly after ordering via the QR code. Really efficient and friendly service made it a great experience. Perfect place to soak up the views with a drink in hand!

Me and my partner visited Pitcher & Piano on Friday and Sunday evenings, the service and was amazing, the staff were friendly and attentive. Mo who was our server did a fantastic job, polite, friendly, attentive and professional. Would recommend to pop in for afternoon, or evenings drinks with nibbles. Amazing environment to relax with family or loved ones to enjoy a great view over quayside!

Came in and asked last minute if we could do brunch and Emma was so helpful and sorted us out straight away despite it being busy. Food was so good and service was amazing, was never left without a drink. Would really recommend this brunch and hopefully you’ll get Emma as your server!

Great food and service, shared 3 small plates and a dessert and was enough as a light snack between 2. Niamh was lovely. Thanks.

Great food & amazing service! Had a lovely meal at Pitcher & Piano Newcastle. The food was delicious and came out quickly, with plenty of great options to choose from. Our server, Esther, was fantastic — really friendly, attentive, and made us feel super welcome. Great atmosphere too. Will definitely be back!

First visit here was for restaurant week, service was speedy, food was delicious, and well presented and the setting was fantastic, (we were seated in the banqueting hall). No complaints, empty plates all round. Highly recommended 👌

Been a few years since we were last here and was just as good as I remember. We got the langostine cocktail and scallop starters, with oyster and hash brown snacks. Followed by Duck breast and a side of cheese leeks. All dishes were exceptional, but I do need the recipe for the brown sauce that came with the hash browns. Or at least them to sell bottles of it. I've never felt so passionate about a condiment but this is well deserving. Service was great, attentive and friendly.

Celebrated my birthday in Blackfriars - this was my first visit. The venue is stunning - simply beautiful. Service - very friendly and professional. Food - wow 😲 delicious. Nothing to complaint. We had a lovely time, received recommendation for drinks and food. Also received a birthday card such a nice gesture. I will be back in the future for special occasions or celebrations ❤️

WOW, the food was so good, we originally started out planning to have two courses but couldn’t resist a third. Their homemade gluten free bread was the best bread I’ve had since being diagnosed coeliac. The staff took my allergies extremely seriously and made us feel very welcome. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough, it was mind blowing.

Came for our 1st year wedding anniversary. The staff were all lovely, really nice to chat too, welcoming, professional and friendly. Everyone on the night was 10/10. Food was delicious, a good gluten free selection and understanding of coeliac, I'm not poorly this morning writing this so that bodes extremely well for there understanding too. They went the extra mile for us for our anniversary and it made our night that extra bit special for us. Thank you for amazing night.

Excellent restaurant with good service and really tasty food. The ingredients are super fresh and of such good quality. Never had a potato that sweet before. The fish was perfectly cooked.

Unique atmosphere in their historic building and very detailed interior creating an elegant yet cosy environment. The food is pretty good with carefully designed menu, not overwhelming but always satisfying. The wines menu is good, well matching the food. The set menu is also pretty good if you can catch it. The bar next to the main dining area is so good that I sometimes go there early to get a glass before going to the main area.

Excellent pub in one of the most beautiful little fishing hamlets on the NE coast. Friendly service, decent range of beers (including their own micro brewery), and sitting out on the green facing the sea is amazing. They usually have pub meals, but when we visited they only had a barbie offered, but the food was delicious!

A wonderful wee pub in a stunning Hamlet. Great pies, sandwiches, and salads. They brew their own ales, which are excellent. It is very dog friendly and just a few metres from a stunning beach. A superb watering hole for Northumberland coast hikers.

Fab pub right by the beach. Great choice of real ales, got it's own brewery, if you can grab a table outside in the sun we'll you've made it 😊☀️🌞

Quite a small pub but served absolutely fantastic crab sandwiches so if you can then try to find a seat. Would be nice if they served chips but I can understand why they don't. Really lovely location.

Cosy 18th C pub by the shore....tables outside.....inside not a lot of space so people seem to get there early and the queue can be out the door! What they produce from the tiny kitchen and bar is amazing Dogs are allowed inside. Food is tasty but no frills...just excellent ingredients simply cooked....no desserts but there was an amazing fruit cake on the bar which had to be tried! You have to try the crab stottie this close to the sea ...its scrummy.

Lovely place to stop when walking from Craster to Seahouses along the coast. Very welcome Three sheets to the wind ale. Very memorable walk and lunch stop.

A lovely pub in a fabulous spot. Was doubtful that the food would be good... but it was brilliant some really good, surprising choices and quick to arrive... I don't know how they do it in such a small place. Well worth the visit. Almost on the beach so good for a walk after your meal.

I visited on a Wednesday evening. The place very nice and welcoming. Staff was brilliant both at the front door and at the bar. We ordered a jug of Cuban Sangria, this was refreshing and sweet. We picked Sunshine Bowl with prawns. The presetantions was nice and inviting. However, we did ask if it was spicy, and we were told not. The dish was sprinkled with chilli flakes, making the flavour spicy. The waitress was really nice and changed the dish without flakes. I ordered the steak sandwich, this was nice a little bit spicy for my taste but definitely recommend if you like something with a little bit of heat. Overall I will be back to ordered the Sunshine bowl again as it was full of flavours . 😊

Wednesday night took nearly 2 hours from ordering for the food to come out. Beef ropa vieja had good flavours, chips were way too salty. Main thing that gave it 1 more star was the churros. They were served fast & were perfectly fluffy & crunchy, rum caramel really good.

1. Our pre-booked table wasn't ready upon arrival as they were "struggling to move the loud/drunk hen-do party from our table". Those were the words used. 2. Tables that sat next to us 15 mins later than us, we're served first. 3. Two out of 3 vegan meal options for my partner weren't available. She ordered the last option, a salad which came looking entirely different and missing ingredients than what the menu suggested. 4. Ordered patatas bravas without aioli as a dietary requirement, and was brought with plenty of it on, ignoring our request. 4. My beef brisket was 100% microwaved onto dry clumped rice (see photo) The music was so loud that bless your lovely waitress, she had to shout repeatedly to us to be heard and couldn't hear our answers until we comically shouted back. Yet she was the only positive element of this visit. Absolute chaos of a business all around otherwise. This is a stag and hen night destination.

I went to a Balkan party, the entry was 12 pounds, but you get a “free” shot of rakija if you come before 23:30. It was a scam. There was no rakija. Plus they made us pay for the table. Plus the bartender was rude. Nobody was apologising. My drink was bad. The music choice was not great.

Went for cocktail masterclass and dinner for 2. The masterclass is amazing and fun, thought it was a wonderful experience until we get to the restaurant for dinner. The entire great experience turned into nightmare when they make customers wait for over an hour to get their food considering it was “Pre-ordered” 2 hours in advance. Never been this disappointed with restaurant service in my entire life and ended up just walking out because the churros for dessert is already taking more than 30mins to get served. Arrived at resto 2pm and left 6pm without getting everything we paid for. Absolutely disappointing.

I cannot recommend Revolución de Cuba Newcastle enough for their bottomless brunch – it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy, music, and good vibes. The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was fresh, full of flavor, and felt like it had been made with care. The drinks flowed endlessly, with a great variety to choose from, and each one was spot on. What really made the experience outstanding, though, was our server Ellie. She was an absolute star from start to finish – attentive, warm, and always one step ahead. She made sure our glasses were never empty, gave brilliant recommendations, and made us feel so welcome the entire time. Ellie has that perfect mix of professionalism and fun that completely elevates the whole experience. If you’re looking for the best bottomless brunch in Newcastle, look no further than Revs de Cuba. Amazing food, amazing drinks, and if you’re lucky enough to be looked after by Ellie, you’re guaranteed to have the perfect time.

Bottomless was good, good food options. Small plates but filling. Band stopped as we were seated and another didn't come on until we were leaving so atmosphere was a little poor.

We recently visited Kafeneon to celebrate a very special occasion - my wife's and my birthday, which happen to fall on the same day! When we shared this with the staff, they were genuinely delighted and made us feel so special. As a thoughtful complimentary gesture, they surprised us with a delicious fudge cake to celebrate our day. The geeek food we ordered was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly kind, courteous, and attentive, ensuring we had a wonderful experience throughout our visit. I even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who personally came to greet us. He was very polite, enthusiastic, and truly passionate about making guests feel welcome. Overall, Kafeneon impressed us with its excellent food, warm hospitality, and heartfelt service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience.

Service was decent, food was served quite quickly, and staff were friendly enough. The interior wasn’t bad, and atmosphere was alright. Far from the best vegetarian moussaka I’ve ever had but was by no means bad. Didn’t like the fries, that’s just personal taste, I rarely enjoy them, and much prefer thick chips. My experience here was pretty average though my partner really liked it. I would give it another go.

Excellent Greek restaurant in town. The food tasted amazing and the portions were great. Slight issue with the starters being forgotten but resolved quickly. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. Three courses and two drinks each came to £72.

Visited Kafeneon during Restaurant Week and had such a lovely experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were incredibly attentive. We went for the keftedes which were cooked to perfection and trio of dips with pita to start, and they were so flavorful and tasty. The chicken souvlaki was equally impressive. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the baklava, and it did not disappoint. All in all, a fantastic meal and a great vibe. Definitely worth a visit whether it’s Restaurant Week or not!

This is a great place, love it. Great food, great staff, great location and atmosphere. Make sure you book to avoid disappointment.

Lovely little Greek restaurant in the middle of Newcastle. Plenty of seats outside but we opted for a window seat inside. Great 2 course lunch menu for £15.95. I had meatballs to start with bread. This was delicious but only lukewarm. My partner had deep fried feta and said was really light and tasty. For main my partner had chicken souvlaki and I had the beef stifado (unsure why they couldn’t do pork souvlaki on the lunch special as it’s the same price as chicken on the menu) both mains were flavoursome and the beef just fell apart was delicious. Very reasonably priced and staff friendly.

The look and feel of this place is great and overall the place carries a nice Greek Taverna style atmosphere. The service also was impeccable. The portion sizes which they provide also are, for me, excessive and no one in our party could finish their respective meals and it would depend on the diners experience whether they are looking for quantity over quality. This is where as a family, we were let down. The quality was not that great to be honest, it was decent, but authentic? absolutely not. There were a number of key items missing from the menu which you would expect to see on a greek (or cypriot) menu and the dishes which were provided were, in essence, off-key to our love of Greek food which we all agreed on. Essentially, we come to restaurants because we cannot cook better at home and for the dining experience. Whilst we got the latter, the former - we can do better. Would I come back? yes - if I was super hungry and just wanted a really big meal but otherwise, I am afraid not.

Attended with my 15yr old daughter on a wee trip to Newcastle and the food was amazing. I had bruschetta, followed by chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, daughter had the seafood linguine and then chocolate fondant. Prices were reasonable and we were £99 which included a 10% tip. Staff were polite and professional. Restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived but was getting busier as we left. Would definitely attend again.

Fabulous outdoor seating area overlooking the Quayside. Bottle of rose wine a little pricey (£34) but we had an excellent service by this Polish waiter (sorry didn’t pick up on his name)! Thoroughly enjoyed it and if the Wine was cheaper, we would have stayed longer!! Ha!

The good thing about bringing your 7 year old daughter is you get to sample more of the menu! Best calamari I’ve had in a long time and our waitress Lucy was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend and visit again.

There are tables both inside and outside. The food was fresh and very tasty. The staff were very freindly . The atmesfire was great.

The food is a bit expensive but the taste is good. Appreciate that they have a dog friendly section

Friendly staff, the food is delicious. The portions are quite big as well. Pizza might be a little oily, but the taste is still very good.

We had such an amazing time at Ginos tonight for our first months marriage anniversary. Thought we would treat ourselves and could not have chose a better place. What made it even better was the service from Leo, he thoroughly made it an amazing experience including the complementary dessert which you can see! Thanks so much Leo! You were great :)

The food is not ok not impressed. The price is fine for what it is. The location is excellent, next to the river, the view is great. Sitting by the waterfront is so relaxing. The restaurant is upstairs, highly recommend sitting outside the balcony area if the weather is nice and sunny. The view is gorgeous.

Gorgeous ambiance of the river, lovely place to dine with family. Kid friendly Food was great, had good selection of British cuisine, everything well cooked and seasoned. Staff were friendly and kind. It was a shame they weren’t serving steak that day. Overall pleasant experience would def recommend.

The venue was lovely, and the staff were polite. The steak was beautifully cooked and full of flavor. I recommend one of the sharing boards, whichever appeals to you. We had an early dinner, so the restaurant was very quiet as it had just opened, which was perfect for the children. There was a great selection of drinks, and the bartender who worked the day the King and Queen visited the Cathedral was exceptional.

Staff were friendly and attentive the view is amazing cute building. Food was nice however there was a bone in my parmo but food was still great and overall really nice experience

Brilliant food and service. Managed to get a table a short notice on a Saturday night thanks to the flexibility of the restaurant. We loved it all, especially the pepper sauce. thank you.

A great place to grab a few drinks early in the evening with a view of Elvet Bridge. The place serves a great Long Island Ice Tea.

The best steak I have had in a long while. Well worth every penny... ALL the pennies! 6 Stars for Gracie

As a family of 5 its always hard to find a hotel which will accommodate us in 1 room but the Hogs Head was brilliant. We had a very large family room with room for 6 and everything you need. Tea and Coffee facilities with some nice biscuits. Iron, ironing board and even a safe. The room was clean and modern. Then there was the breakfast which was included in the price. This was a nice buffet style breakfast with everything you want. The bar is great with plenty of drinks to chose from and lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

Conveniently located at the side of the a1 on the way in to Alnwick the Hogs Head is a modern building with ample parking. Very pleasant staff on arrival. I was dining alone and I did not feel uncomfortable. I had a very nice sausage and mash and cabbage which was delicious Around £15 so quite good value. This establishment has rooms so I might give them a try next time I'm in the area.

Just got back from a one-night stay and I can’t stop raving about it! The room was spotless, perfectly warm, and the bathroom was just lovely. I enjoyed two meals at the restaurant, and the food and service were top-notch. The team really made me feel welcome from check-in to the end of my stay. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this gem!

Visited for drinks over a year ago before a friend's wedding, and went back when we needed to travel to Alnwick. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. We visited during a muggy summer and the room was cool despite no air-con - they did provide a fan, but we barely need to use it. Perks of a stone building. The bed was so comfortable we both slept straight through. The bathroom was cosy, but the shower was nice and powerful. We had dinner, and I'd recommend booking a table when you book your room, as they are always busy - for good reason. Unfortunately some of the menu was unavailable, but the food was incredible, as was the service, and the drinks were really good too. Breakfast was another level entirely, being so closer to the border, you can enjoy the best of English and Scottish breakfasts, proper food to set you up right for the day. If you're ever going through Alnwick, definitely make a stop at The Hog's Head Inn, you won't be disappointed.

A sour start to my stay here. They cancelled my booking then had me stood at reception 20 minutes whilst they tried to work out where to put me. Then they had the cheek to tell me they'd need me to change rooms part way through my stay. I declined as I was working nights and they expected me to wake up to change rooms. The food was forgettable. The rooms are a good size, but basic. Tiny non smart tv, no air con, no fridge, no gym, no pool. Most staff seemed nice, I think the reservation people cancelled it, not the hotel staff. The phone at check in is so quiet that staff can't hear it, had it worked they would have known I was running late and maybe avoided all the aggro they caused.

Very good value for a really lovely and massive room, extremely clean and quiet. Dinner was exceptional quality and again very reasonable price wise. Looking forward to returning and gutted it’s only one night.

I can not praise the Hoggs Head Inn highly enough. We are staying for a long weekend to explore the county, great location. The room has all you need and is very comfortable. The restaurant is very pleasant and the staff are busy, maybe a little under staffed, but friendly and nothing is a bother. The food is very generous, tasty and a menu that is above the ordinary. Well done 👏 ✔️

It's hands down the best place in the north east to go watch the sunset. It was a beautifully romantic walk. But can also be a fun family/dog walk as I saw many other people do. On each point there was a quirky bit of information, giving you something to look out for. It really brought art and nature together, what a fantastic idea for a walk.

Fantastic place to visit. Free entry, Donations to park they suggest £3 which we paid but you can pay less if you wish to. Great little cafe onsite with toilets. All staff are very friendly and welcoming definitely worth a visit

An interesting configuration of old mines made into a great outdoor space with viewpoints of surrounding countryside and a nature reserve. £3 donation for car park. Café on site with toilets. Great space for dog walkers, families and all.

I walk here often, it's gorgeous no matter where you go the lower level with the lake or up top seeing the view, it's a easy walk to the top. There is also I new upcoming nature reserve to the left (it is still being built/growing) there are ponds (there's only one ATM but sure it's being built to be bigger) Theres horses and cows in the fields and you can see some beautiful birds. This track is approx 2.5 mile walk around if you stick to the main path, you can also walk up through a little village if midway (you see a famers house/cattle house there is a road leading upwards follow that road and you walk through a little lovely village (this Asda an extra 1-2mile to the walk) you will have to walk back the same walk back to the original track as it leads to a motorway. Added photos from all seasons, gorgeous any time of the year!

Interesting place to visit, great for having a stroll or even a jog, can't really see the lady properly can only do that from above, we went on a wet day so put a dampner on it, can imagine it being a great place on a hit sunny day for a picnic, car park is free just asks for a donation, cafe in site

Great place for a walk with the family. Plenty parking spaces. Caffee and fresh milk van! Definitely worth going there.

Great place to visit and walk with your family , lovely cafe with the most delicious Cream tea at really good prices. Highly recommend.

Booked a table for 5pm as wanted some food before the beer . Was nice enough ordered from the small plates options with chips and onion rings and it was nice enough and had decent drink selection. Nice friendly staff .

Caitlin S started afternoon/ night with welcoming and attentive vibes for our bottomless brunch, unfortunately her shift finished, but fortunately our new server was grace M who was friendly and welcoming, although the venue was not full, we did not feel out of place and we felt like we were being looked after. i hope and believe Grace M is a valued member of staff! along with the other employees in on 22/07/2025! The service was quick, polite, professional and kind, all members of staff should be praised for their enthusiasm, kindness and efficiency (including the kitchen, as our food came out quickly and fast!). An overall amazing experience, would recommend and come again!!! xx

Great bar, great prices and great for people watching, the staff provide a service above and beyond. Well done guys. Very good menu with some tasty small plates. A very good old style pub and a great place for a beer especially the Guinness and a wine, there is a fantastic selection of very well presented ales, nice little outside seating area which is great when the weather's good, the inside is comfy and well laid out, very reasonable prices. Friendly attentive staff. Great atmosphere, well done guys. Well worth a visit when in Newcastle.

Where to start? We booked a bottemless brunch here on Saturday at 7:30pm. Food was absolutely out of this world, service was also vv good (shout out to Maddie and Caitlyn) as they were constantly refilling prosecco and getting your next drink ready while you sip on the previous one. Great selection of drinks with the Pear Spritz being god tier. Absolutely shitfaced by the end as I never learn to pace myself lol. I will for sure be returning

Came in to see if they did Picky bits which they did. We ordered several plates off the scan and order and then came in a good amount of time and were extremely good. The servers were polite too, overall great first experience and will definitely be back!

We were lucky enough to be served by Eve at the Newcastle Banyans — and wow, she was amazing! 🌟 Personable? Absolutely. Entertaining? You bet. She made us feel right at home and looked after us like VIPs. Honestly, we’ll be coming back just for Eve’s top-notch service — and that’s saying something, since we came with a more “mature” crowd that’s not easily impressed! 😉

Just had a brilliant night out celebrating, and I can't say enough about the service! Holly was our server, and she was absolutely top-notch—so attentive and always smiling. The food and drinks were spot on, and everything was super clean and inviting. The way they welcomed us and explained everything made the whole experience even better. Honestly, she deserves a pay rise for the way she handled everything!

Seven of us went for a lovely lunch today. Food all freshly made and delicious! Friendly, congenial staff. Aware of dietary intolerances. Nice dining room. Not hard to find once off the dual carriageway.

Lovely welcoming traditional country pub and restaurant in a gorgeous location. Great service from friendly staff, and with food which is great value for money, I highly recommend a visit. I had the delicious fish and chips, so perfectly cooked with a lovely (gluten free) crispy batter, which was better than a lot of batters I’ve had before. Chips and mushy peas were cooked to perfection too. It was difficult to decide which dish to have in the first place as there was a great selection to choose from!

We stayed here for 4 nights to attend a family wedding nearby. Our room (Quilter) was nicely decorated and furnished, clean, comfortable and spacious. Lots of drawers and hanging space, and an excellent shower in the en-suite. Breakfast was really tasty (we had the small Northumberland) and there was a good choice on the dinner menu, again all well presented and tasty. My husband enjoyed the selection of real ales! The staff, led by host Andy, were friendly, attentive and professional. Another plus is that dogs were made very welcome. Altogether a joy to stay there and we would certainly return if we are in the area.

Our second visit in four months, stayed in the same cottage South Tyne and standards were as previously perfect, could not fault anything. The bar and restaurant was very busy indeed due to it being a bank holiday and they did seem a little short staffed however service was spot on and the staff remained very calm and friendly Sunday roast was amazing Well done to the Boatside Crew see you all again soon Robin and Ruth

Visited twice while staying in Hexham. On both occasions we enjoyed a walk along the river to get there. Food was excellent, I had fishcake the first visit and fish n chips the second. Husband had the beef rib both times, he enjoyed it so much! Lovely pint of local ale too. Highly recommend

We had a lovely stay here after a long and tiring cycle. The staff were so attentive and kind. The meal in the restaurant was delicious. Breakfast was also lovely. Rooms were comfortable, clean. Would definitely stay again.

Very pretty location and cute Inn w nice dining room. Friendly staff and good food. Sadly there was a great deal of mold in the shower, water did not drain in the shower due to hair (euww) and the toilet seat was very loose. There also were annoying flies buzzing around in the dining room. Would recommend the place if these issues were fixed.

Visited the Brandling Arms in Gosforth this evening and was not disappointed. We went for the 2 course evening menu and I had the baked harissa goats cheese and sourdough. I was told by George that I was the first to try this as it was new on the menu and it was absolutely phenomenal. Marianna and Kenny did an absolutely amazing job. For main I had king prawn and crab linguine and again just amazing. Lewis and George made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond for us- we will definitely be back.

Been wanting to try The Branding Arms for years and years and on Monday me and my wife chose great sunny random day to try. The pub is a bright, warm and very pleasant place to be.The staff we met seemed happy and enjoyed the job. We asked to take photos and they were really cool with it. They also told us the menu will change in 6 weeks time too. We ordered two Signature Burgers. One Rosemary and Parmesan. Cheese cake, brownie. Was a costly adventure but super well worth it. The ingredients were nice and different for the taste. The amount of skin on fries in the cups was plenty and had a lush taste and crisp. The cheese cake stole the show in looks and taste, The cake had shortbread up the side too which I enjoyed. The popcorn and chocolate sauce were so pleasing. My wife had brownie and ice cream which was lovely too. Overall I would say look at the menus and enjoy. Thank you Branding Arms and staff. We will come back down the line in the year as we live in Blyth.

Brunch this morning with girlfriends. Food was lovely, service was great. Only scored down for atmosphere as we were only ones in. They open at 10am daily for brunch but no one seems to know this. Dog friendly too. Will definitely be back soon.

We visited for an impromptu lunch on Saturday 4 October and then went back for dinner! Fabulous food and compliments to Chris the chef. We had fantastic, friendly service from Grace and Katie for both lunch and dinner. I would highly recommend visiting and we will be returning again when we next can.

Went out for a family meal at The Brandling Arms and the food was brilliant! The Boss Burger was a real highlight – juicy, full of flavour, and stacked just right. Chris did a fantastic job in the kitchen, and Ryan’s friendly service made us all feel at home. A great spot for a relaxed family dinner!

Hard to fault - nice atmosphere, good menu, reasonable price, delicious food. Staff were friendly and attentive, food came out quickly and was all excellent. Would definitely recommend.

We tried the fish & chips at The Brandling Arms and it was outstanding! Crispy, golden batter with perfectly cooked fish – Kenny really knows his craft in the kitchen. Lewis gave us brilliant service, super friendly and attentive, which made the whole meal even better. A fantastic experience all round!

As brewery taprooms go this has to be by far the slickest one I’ve been in. The Taproom has the full range of Wylam beers including upto 4 cask options, the more informal terrace bar has just the craft. If unsure ask for a taster, they’re all top quality. The main hall is closed when private functions are taking place.

Visited Wylam Brewery for a roast dinner recently, choices were beef, pork, lamb or a veggie option. (£19). We also added a side of cauliflower cheese between 4 of us which was very good probaly best ive had. The roast with served with a big Yorkshire pudding, green veg, smashed roots, roasted parsnip and roast potatoes. Beef was really tender and well cooked, potatoes could have been slightly better. Service was mostly good except some confusion at start. Drinks a little expensive but it is their own beers that they brew, it's dog friendly and they have a lovely beer garden for after

Excellent place this! Located in a large park in walking distance from the city center. I have been hear before but this time i had decided to also try their sunday roast. I would recommend to book in advance if you want to eat on a Sunday. Beautiful area both inside and outside the brewery with plenty of seating. This time there also was two food trucks located outside the brewery. Good selection of Wylam beers on tap. There was also a few guest beers. Great service from all of the staff. Got to try the new Wylam x Wor Flags collab, really nice fruity low abv pale ale. They were officially sold out of cans of this one, but one of the waiters suddenly told me he had one 4 pack left if i would like to bring some with me home, so that was a really nice gesture👌 The food did not dissapoint either. I had the Duck Leg Croquette and Topside of Galloway Beef. Sunday roast is my favourite british dish and this was top class 👌

Celebrated a family get together for Sunday lunch, staff were polite and very helpful. The service was paced well for us though we did run over our time slot which didn't appear to be a problem. We pre ordered our meals as there was 15 of us and food was lovely and not excessive.

We had Sunday dinner at Wylam Brewery and were really impressed. The pork was well-cooked, the cauliflower cheese was spot on, and the vegan dish was genuinely enjoyable. Everything was nicely balanced and the wine selection worked well with the meal. One of the best Sunday roasts we’ve had in a while.

Unfortunately the inside was closed but we sat outside instead for a pint and a burger, lovely place to spend a few hours outside the busy and loud city center

This venue does not allow cars/taxi to drop you off at the door and therefore a long walk, in the pitch black to the door. Certainly not something I would have done if I was on my own as it does not feel safe. There was a shuttle bus (golf buggy) but it took too long to do each journey. Venue itself is beautiful and well looked after with a good range of drinks.

We stayed for 4 nights at the Amble Inn in Morpeth and had a really lovely time. The hotel was a lovely place to stay with friendly helpful staff that kept on smiling even when extremely busy. The breakfast menu was outstanding with every breakfast need catered for, we enjoyed an energy boosting full cooked breakfast every morning before our days of adventure began. All the things we wanted to visit were all within 20 miles of the hotel, such as Seahouses, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle and Barter books and more. We got lost once because of a road closure but we enjoyed trying to find our way around on the enchanting country roads, the scenery is beautiful. In the end we were sad to leave which tells me that we had a very good holiday and a holiday that we will repeat at some point in the near future.

Specifically chose The Inn Collection hotel because we knew it was wheelchair accessible. (We stayed in Blyth last year.) Bathroom and toilets were accessible. Good location to use as a base to visit other places. As you can tell on maps, not in a particularly scenic location. However, their outdoor area is pleasant. Comfortable room. Enjoyed our breakfast- self-service. Good coffee. Good music. Would recommend and will be staying in another Inn Collection next year.

It's a very nice pub! The food was excellent and the staff were polite and friendly. Service was prompt and it all came at good value for money. It's a fairly new build, but it has a lovely cosy feeling to it. We would definitely recommend it.

Pleasant environment and front of house staff were friendly enough. The allergy menu was easy to find and user friendly, however I really struggled to find much that was dairy free. I tried to have Korean Venison Ribs but they had run out so I just went with a vegan burger. It was easily the worst thing I've been served in a long time. The bun was wet underneath and at the same time completely solid (couldn't even get a fork in). I ended up taking the burger out and eating it on its own with the chips. The chips at least we're quite nice. Noone asked whether the food had been ok. I wondered if that was because they already knew it wasn't. Anyway what my friend and I really wanted was somewhere to sit and chat which we did and had a good laugh. We both agreed we would go back for a drink but wouldn't eat there again.

We have stayed here 3 times now but this is the first time we have booked an adaptive room due to my husband having his leg amputated earlier this year. We really like this place but, unfortunately, the 'wet room' was unable to be used by my husband as, due to the wrong camber on the floor, the water never fully drained away leaving the floor too risky for my husband to risk having a shower. He managed to get to the toilet and sink ( very small with no plug!) in his wheelchair, but never risked a shower. Apart from that the stay was, as always very enjoyable, especially as we could get to the microbrewery down the road ( opens at 4pm, very busy, great place). We will be back to the Amble but I won't bother booking an adaptive room again.

Stayed 2 nights Lovely big comfortable & clean bedroom. It has a beer garden so nice to sit outside in warm weather but it could do with some upgrading. Breakfast was basic.

Lovely place to stay. Great rooms, comfy beds. A little let down by cleanliness of dinning area.

The food is undeniably well cooked, well thought out, nicely presented and I believe locally sourced. There's not much info on the menu I could see though (other than a bakery) advising where the chicken, beef or veg is from, so you just have to go the assumption it is? For me the price point/portion sizes are out of whack, in July 2025 it was £11 for the 2 croquettes pictured. The chicken salad at the same price had the most meagre portion of chicken I have ever seen, it would have equated to a single thigh or a third of a chicken breast. Cookhouse have done incredibly well from their humble origins, all credit to them but I won't be returning as it is overpricing its dishes in my opinion.

Wonderfully thought-out menu with locally and internationally farmed and foraged produce. Interesting flavour combinations with both Asian and Mediterranean influences. Fresh ingredients and the quality speaks for itself. The Menu is created daily and the selection is guaranteed to please any palate.

We had an exceptional lunch out on the terrace, enjoying the last of the summer sun. What a great place, attentive but chill service, and great food across the board. Fresh, light salads with great flavour throughout. The chocolate terrine to finish was a delight.

Came here with my parents to celebrate my graduation and had the nicest time! The food and drinks were both interesting and delicious, my favourites were the tempura cauliflower starter and the clarified Bloody Mary which was completly clear in colour! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great quality while pretty casual dinner.

Expensive but it is fine dining Food was delicious, home baked bread to start was a nice touch. Service brilliant Service charge added to bill Would recommend However portions are small think you need 3 courses to ensure you don't leave hungry.

Definitely a different and exciting menu from other restaurants we have been to. Walked in off the street and we able to accommodate a table for 4 people. Great service. Can recommend this restaurant. Michelin star chef to boot. Thank you.

Very cool atmosphere, waiter was great and knowledgeable. Managed to get there one of their last nights for their seasonal bbq. Lambs chops were🔥

Stopped in for dinner and stayed the evening. Great pub. Conner was a great host and good conversation recounting his time living in the US. Great crew behind the bar. Food was excellent; burgers, nachos, fish and chips were all good.

Great food, and plenty to choose from at a very reasonable price. Lovely friendly staff, and the pub has a great atmosphere. Certainly be back again

Amazing experience. Fantastic hand cut chips, incredible peppercorn sauce (made in-house apparently!). Great selection of drinks, good prices. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Dog & child friendly. Couldn't really ask for much more. Free food on Mondays (quiz night)! Will definitely be back, even though it's a 40 minute drive away from ours 👏

Love this pub, and as a non drinker it was made even better by the fact that they had zero on pump. The atmosphere is always fabulous, the staff friendly and the food is fantastic. Husband says its a great pint. Dog friendly too. What more can you want.

Looking for a dog friendly pub as we passed through Hexham. A little jewel, good service, atmosphere, very dog friendly water and a biscuit. The staff were very friendly and happy in their work and they clean the tables which I don't find these days. They had a couple of veggie meals on the menu I picked the arabiatta which was delicious and too much which makes a change and hubby enjoyed his chicken too. If we pass or stay we will visit The Tannery again and they do a quiz night on Mondays.

Decided to pop into my old local. It was the best. Lovely food, good company and great music! Very reasonably priced meals with generous portions!

A fantastic pub that more than welcomes dogs. The drinks available are very varied with a fine selection of ales too. The food is very reasonably priced but excellent in quality & portion sizes, vegetarians catered for too.

Lovely place to watch the football. Gorgeous beer garden by the river. Great selection of beers on draught. Staff were very friendly. Overall a great experience can’t wait to go back

What a super pub. Well deserves its place in the 2025 CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Even has a CAMRA members discount. Alic, Boothroyd and myself are all on a first ever visit. I had a great pint of Bass. Lovely front and back rooms and then a rear beer terrace with top notch views. Lots of TV's inside and out.

Really great old school pub. Good selection of drinks lots of indoor seating but where the place really comes to life is the outside seating area. Lovely views of the river and bridge at the back and more seating with patio style heaters nearer to the building. Staff very friendly and helpful. TVs showing sport all around the internal bar area. Will call again whilst I'm in the city.

Friendly staff and always a welcoming atmosphere! Lovely beer garden and always showing live sports! Perfect place to have a couple drinks with friends or family

Great range of pints, always got the ideal football matches on. All round just a very good pub. Special mention to Myrtle who served us over the weekend. Very friendly and sorted all our drinks and snacks in no time.

Great pub great vibes for any occasion! Amazing drink selection, with the most welcoming and friendly staff!! Love it!!!!! Definitely will be back again and again 👍

Joshua at the Half Moon Pub is an absolute gem! Not only does he serve up fantastic drinks with a smile, but his attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly elevate the experience. The atmosphere at the pub is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a long day. Joshua's exceptional service and the welcoming ambiance at the Half Moon Pub make it a must-visit for anyone looking for a great time!

Home cooked tasty food, great beer. Not expensive. It's a small pub - I'm glad that we booked. Beer is excellent from their own brewery. Food had lots of choice, nothing with chips. Loved the mince with dumplings. Location is lovely.

Lovely meal yesterday- haven’t been since pre covid, so was impressed by ‘new’ section at the back. very light but also maintains cosy atmosphere. Still has the same friendly and welcoming atmosphere i remember. Food is tasty and very filling. Delicious cheese on ploughman’s.

Lovely wee pub to visit! A bit gutted we only turned up an hour before closing on Sunday. Really short window to enjoy it as it's only open for 3 hours. We had some really nice home cooked food (Sicilian Lamb and Ratatouille & Cous Cous) and a couple of locally brewed pints. Totally could have stayed in there all day with that cozy fire!

Lovely traditional pub offers a warm welcome, friendly locals and proper homemade food. Their are fires to keep you cozy in winter and a pub garden for summer, good for all seasons! I had the steak pie, fruit crumble and a couple glasses of wine 👌🏼 We had a little walk around the pub and saw deer in a field. There is a nice little river walk too. Tip Dog friendly They have a website where you can check the daily menu It’s worth reserve a table, especially when they have themed nights such as quiz and curry.

It didn't start very well, with both the house brewed draft beers being unavailable we took our table in the dining room area as the bar area was small and with a few tables already reserved, it became apparent that we may have arrived at the same time as a few very local people all turn up for lunch on a Friday and thier atmosphere was very happy and cordial with the staff/owner, our experience was to prove quite different. After waiting for a good 45 minutes for Soup, cold sandwich and 1 easily cooked baked fish dish we where not disappointed with the food but the service left alot to be desired, we were never asked during our meal if everything was alright or if we required anything else etc. The whole experience was cold and almost as if we were an inconvenience to a pally Friday lunch club. This pub was the very first pub in the area that my Mum visited in 1968 when she movedj here, I think that she would prefer her previous experience to the one we had today.

I popped into this lovely establishment for a little lunch with a friend for a birthday treat. The atmosphere and happy locals singing the praises of the dipton was heart walming. I thoroughly enjoyed the food as did my friend. Even though the land lady was clearly upto her eyes with orders and short staffed she was incredibly welcoming and kind. I very much look forward to another visit soon. Good on traditional old bars being authentic with a lovely home cooked menu. Look forward to visiting again soon. Joy.

Visited Tuesday 16.09.25, really enjoyed the food, excellent freindly staff, so much we returned the following night whilst stopping in the area.

What an incredible pub! The Free Trade Inn completely lives up to the hype. The atmosphere is effortlessly cool. it's the perfect, unpretentious place to catch up with friends. We managed to grab a spot in the beer garden and the view of the Tyne Bridge and the Quayside is simply unbeatable. It's the best backdrop for a pint in the entire city. The beer selection is fantastic. A great mix of local ales and interesting craft beers, all kept perfectly. The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable when we couldn't decide what to order. Love their selection of Kernal beers on my last visit. A truly special pub that feels authentically Newcastle. We'll be back again.

Excellent little pub just about 1km walking distance from the millenium bridge. Great beer selections, both traditional beers on cask, plenty of taps and cans/bottles, and some of these might even be slightly hyped ones, so there is a really nice mix of beers available. Not sure if they serve food or not, but during my last visit they had a selection of cheese an there was also a food truck located outside. And the views are really nice looking towards the Millenium Bridge. Highly recommend to visit this place!

The best pub we visited on this 4 day trip to Newcastle. We were visiting the UK for 17 days and took a trip up to Newcastle to visit a cousin. Stewart took us to his favorite spots and this one did not disappoint. I had a third pint of the Overnight Oats (9.5%). It was a small hike to get here from the city centre but the view from the beer garden was amazing. On the must visit again list the next time we are in Newcastle.

Great beer selection, friendly staff all with some terrific views over the river. Highly recommend.

This has to be one of the best pubs in the UK, let alone Newcastle. Great location with great outdoors areas for when the weather is nice. Incredible selection of beers on cask, keg and can / bottle. They seem to cover all bases from lighter Pale Ales, to IPAs, stouts and sours. Great service.

Proper pub. Didn't have food but everything else was as it should be. Lived in Newcastle for 52 years, first time ive been.

Looks can be deceiving. Went to meet up with some friends and what a treat. I would suggest a traditional style pub with little in the ways of airs and graces, just a welcoming atmosphere with a great feeling. Difficult to put your finger in it but the staff were efficient and happy to see me, I think! The juke box was an interesting feature as was the curving bar that displayed a wide offering of cask beers, cider and fruit things! Each to their own. Dog friendly with a constant number of humans at the bar I would suggest waiting for the pub quiz on the Wednesday. Venturing outside 2 very pleasant seating areas with the one across the road offering one of the best views down the quayside in to the city. Top photo opportunity when the sun was setting over the town. To top off the night there was a mobile pizza van from Scream for Pizza and whilst I did not partake this evening they my fav with the associated restaurant up there. Appears that they offer a beer and pizza combo, match made in heaven. A definite revisit soon with some more friends.

Ordered a Hugo Spritz, after filling the full glass of ice, he only put a single shot of St-German, a tiny bit of Prosecco, then filled the rest with apple juice. It was hard to drink. I go back at the bar saying it’s not how it’s supposed to be done, one of the managers comes and tells me that’s how they do it in England. A loads of bs if you ask me. Especially for how expensive it is. All the other Cairn group’s institutions that serves it does it the proper way.

Got 2 drinks and a meal and they didn't get a single one right Asked for a vodka and coke - got a vodka and lemonade Asked for a vodka and coke- got a rum and coke Asked for 8 salt and pepper wings- got wings covered in actual just salt and pepper and not salt and Pepper style wings. I was told by a local they usually put more things on it. If its just genuinely salt and pepper probably better to clarify 👍🏻 Unsure if the staff at this point just didn't like me as the drinks felt pretty intentional.

Came in to watch the women’s rugby World Cup final, as did many other groups. We were in at 1pm, drinking and eating ready to cheer on the roses! Match was put on and everything about the pub was great! The females behind the bar were so lovely and helpful! 5:20pm came and the rugby was turned off. 20 minutes left of the England World Cup final and it was turned over for a SUNDERLAND football match. When the manager, who had just come on shift, was spoken to about turning it back on for the last 20 minutes, he replied “The women’s rugby? No one wants to watch that, the football is on”. Absolutely appalled by this misogynistic reaction from a manger who stank of booze clearly from his night out before. Wouldn’t recommend if you support any woman’s sport, clearly not welcome at this ‘bar’.

Great bar to chat (some have music way too loud) and watch the match. Bar staff always friendly and usually let you know what drinks are on offer/save u money. Good selection of beers and spirits. It's very student populated but always a nice atmosphere.

My first time entering this place. It will absolutely be my last. We hired the dart board which was £7.50 in which we had no issues with. However the member of staff behind the bar “Emily” came and told us the board next to us was booked in 10 minutes time, which was a polite gesture just to let us know. Once our hour was up the Male manager with short brown hair and a stubble beard came over and said very rudely with a horrendous attitude said “right lads you’re done if you want to extend you need to pay now”. We actually asked to extend during our hour which we were told no. I went to the bar to ask if we can extend it and we were abruptly told “NO I have people waiting” The people waiting were said booking next to us however their lights weren’t working and they didn’t want to use the board. How this is our fault I do not know. This ended up in the manager (male) having a go at us especially when we asked his name. This is THE WORST service I have ever experienced from a bar, I would recommend to stay away from here. The toilets also smelt revolting. Poor service and poor hygiene.

Great experience there, so many screens to watch football on, great food options and friendly staff. Great discounts throughout the week too! Definitely worth a visit.

Had a booking here which was paid for by deposit and we walked outside for some fresh air as was incredibly hot inside. When we tried coming back in both the bouncer and manager refused our entry advising we must wait in the long queue. We tried explaining we had a table booked but we were not listened to at all. Honestly terrible customer service and pretty rude service considering we had paid money upfront for the deposit etc. I wouldn't recommend based on our experience.

Lovely staff and location, unfortunately the room wasn't very good at all. The bed was very uncomfortable and my TV didn't work. The lock was temperamental as well, and very wobbly, so I didn't feel very safe. I'm sure the bar service etc is great, I just didn't get a chance to use those. Customers seemed cheerful and happy with their experiences.

This pub is now called The Hairy Lemon. We called in for lunch having been dismayed to find our usual favourite eatery permanently closed. We were greeted on arrival and looked after from start to finish by a very friendly lady. I was pleased to find a good selection of gluten free choices all at great value. My partner said the veggie lasagne was his best meal of our holiday. We will definitely return.

Despite being listed in the camra real ale guide, they didn't have any real ale, just awful lager! Wasted trip from London. Won't be returning.

I got the roast beef here and it was amazing!! Such good quality food, and good for gluten free too! The service was great too! Thanks so much

Nicely positioned in the centre of Alnwick, service was great and we've not paid so little for drinks in quite a while.

Nice pub. Has an “Olde worlde” feel about. More room inside than the front suggests as it goes right back. Food was excellent. We just had a light lunch in the form of a sandwich but I have to say it was one of the best ham sandwiches i’ve had. Unfortunately, only 4 stars due to the terrible coffee as, in contrast to the food, it was awful! Being weak, bitter and boiling hot. But, I guess if you want decent coffee, go to a coffeehouse!! Having said that I would definitely go again. I’d just have a beer instead!!

Couldn't get booked in next door but this has lots of space. Menu wasn't that exciting with the nicest being the single pork chop which was cooked really nice. Just let down by slightly over cooked veg..but still ok to eat. Only one small negative.. my table was a little bit sticky. They have rooms upstairs for staying over night and are situated in the heart of Alnwick with parking located five mins walk away

Went for a few drinks with my friends yesterday. The new owner Philip couldn’t have been nicer to all of us, great time fantastic atmosphere & we’ll definitely be back again!

Wow, my first visit to this pub and I was not disappointed. From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly and attentive and treat you like a friend. The prices are good, £5 something for a Pint of fosters and a half of coke. Sunday dinners are incredible-seriously…for £14 you can get a trio of meats with 3 yorkshires and veg (see the photos) the plate was overflowing with food. For £12.50 the beef dinner was as amazing, I couldn’t eat it all. All in all one of the friendliest pubs I’ve been in in a long time and the food is an absolute must to try. Thanks to all the staff working on the afternoon of Sunday 10th September - you are fabulous!!! We will be back 😀😀

Used to be an amazing pub, new owner has a disgust attitude and personality would not recommend to anybody now!

Amazing new owner called in last night he was so friendly and even helped me with a charger to charge my phone wish him Best of luck for his future

Great little bar on the high street friendly staff good drinks highly recommend

Fantastic place. Great service. Recently taken over and the new owner will take this place forward

Called in for a couple of drinks but never again.Place was filthy. Totally empty but tables were dirty and sticky ,toilets were filthy .Get staff to clean up instead of sitting at table drinking.

Didn't try the food despite being there for a very special event which was very well managed and organised. Staff friendly and helpful helped make for a very enjoyable, comfortable and safe feeling environment. Would definitely recommend

Attended the ABBA event today and can honestly say I felt that we were totally ripped off. Not enough seating to accommodate the hundreds of tickets sold at £19.50 each. Some outdoor seating but despite weather warnings for days event organisers didn't have the sense to cover this seating area up until the benches were already soaking. The bar staff were ill equipped to cope with the numbers and actually ran out of wine. Worse of all were the actual ABBA tribute. One actually looked like she had never sang in front of an audience in her life and looked like a rabbit in headlights. I was beginning to think the actual tribute band hadn't turned up and these were a couple of staff standing in. Honestly feel that I have not only had my eyeballs ripped out, but my sockets as well.

Visited this place during the day and appeared lovely but what a different vibe on a night. It appeared to be a reggae night with lots of stoners taking over the dancefloor. Food was spot on but not somewhere I would choose to go back. Such a shame as it has so much potential

Went to an ABBA event on 19th July that we had booked well in advance and the group of us had paid £100 in total for tickets. Turned up early as the rain was bad to get a table and staff were extremely rude stating they weren’t open yet and when I asked when they opened they tutted and said when the event starts, despite saying 12 online. The event in itself was absolutely terrible, found a post on Facebook which proves the singers were found online a few days before just asking for a couple girls to sing and it SHOWN! The place was rammed full and no one was sheltered from the rain despite having ages to prepare for a day they knew was going to be wet. Ordered food from the bar and was told my plastic thing would buzz when it was ready, ages passed so I went in to get it and was shouted at by the woman stating the food was ready ages! The bar ran out of Prosecco after less than an hour which was the final straw for us and caused us to leave the event. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!

Great space large screen for the football. Beer selectuon felt tame, usual suspects. Nothing from the plethora of local breweries around this area. Lovely Greek restaurant attatched

Great location for an event! Only issue for me was no cider on draft bar strawberry and lime, and only kopperbergs in the fridge.

Kicked us out a minute after the football ended and shouted in my 60-year-old mam’s face for wanting to have a bit more time. Do not go here. Full of students anyway.

Visited yesterday with my Boyfriend and Brother. We did love this place, so fascinating to see the Brewery, I was so intrigued by the whole process and loved seeing it. Shows how fresh and and handmade the ale is which is important to me. The ale itself was delicious and so full of flavour my favourites were Looper, Rotator, Hippy Hop juice. The pizza was superb, loved you could actually watch them make it, all fresh and real ingredients made by hand. The wood fired oven gave a gorgeous char to it which made it extra special we even seen them bring more wood for the stove so you know it's authentic. One tiny niggle which is easily rectified that I noticed that the pizza wheel was rinsed in water and not washed with soap and water when cutting the meat and vegetarian and vegan pizzas but as I said it's a tiny detail and would not stop me returning. The bar and pizza staff really seem to care and passionate about their products. Very knowledgeable and professional they should be praised. It's dog friendly. They have outside seating. The toilets are clean and well maintained. Loved the quirky sinks, love the tap is the same as the keg taps lots of fun haha. Would definitely highly recommend. Would be happy to go alone to wait for friends. Love how friendly and chatty the staff are. Will definitely return.

We had our wedding at Full Circle Brewery. We didn't know anyone who had booked a wedding at Full Circle, all I knew was we liked it from the times we'd visited the tap room so we were taking a chance that it would be nice for a wedding but it was fantastic, I would recommend it to anyone As soon as we met Kate the wedding coordinator w had a feeling we could trust her to have everything covered and she was so on the ball, a relaxed calm coordinator but made everything smooth before the day and throughout. Everything was seamless and her communication was fab. It was just such a fun day. We were hoping for a fairly laid back relaxed day as we wanted a fun pub style vibe, and we got that but better. Everyone was so at ease because the venue is so relaxed but nicely decorated too, and the fab beers went down a storm! We had a bit of a medical emergency at the end of the wedding day with a guest and I have to say all of the staff were completely incredible. Providing First Aid with the confidence and precision of a paramedic and being very kind, calling the ambulance and even one of the staff giving us a lift to A&E to see the guest. I'm sure they weren't expecting that at the end of the night and were probably tired from a busy day and ready to go home but they handled things beautifully, we were so impressed and thankful to everyone! Coordination on the day seemed completely seamless, if there were any little bumps in the road I had no idea and was just able to relax and enjoy myself which is exactly what you want. I knew we were in safe hands with Kate. We also felt like she'd thought of everything right up to the day and it was good to sit down with her and get reminded of any little last minute decisions we needed to make, it was relaxed but she kept us right as we'd never planned a wedding before and she was the expert so we needed a little reminding about some aspects we needed to consider. Thanks again for everything Full Circle!

An excellent beer hall to sample some of the finest beers in Newcastle! Loved the venue and drinks, great view of the brewing process, would loved to have tried the food but we'd already eaten! Very good place to come for drinks and a bite to eat, staff were knowledgeable about their beers and very accommodating

LOVE this place! I’m an American “craft beer snob” and couldn’t have been happier here. “Mountains of Mars” was one of my favorite beers- EVER! Our beertenders (Ed and Amber) were knowledgeable and helpful. Pizza was great. If you’re in Newcastle- you gotta go!!

Really nice brewery tap - located upstairs with a good view over the brewery operations. Nice easy app to order, friendly efficient staff and easy going friendly big bearded locals. Most importantly some really nice IPA beer, and I could have happily sunk more than a few. Sold pizza but I can't vouch for it as we didn't eat here. Try and go on foot if you can to avoid what appears to be parking nazis outside if all the anxious signs about making sure you have paid for parking are to be believed. The walk through the lego housing of Byker from the tube station is interesting and while I'd want to keep my whits about me, didn't feel too unsafe.

Sandly not a great frist time experience, though it has an expansive choice like most brewery sute the level of customer service and knowledge at the bar is terrible please don't snap at your customers. There's a number of much more friendly venues with as much chose in the Ouseburn.

Spacious bar overlooking the brewery. There's a wide range of brews, from the weaker session ales to DIPA, light or dark and some ciders too. Really friendly staff, happy to let you sample any before you buy. I saw a large Pizza oven, although we didn't eat there. Highly recommend a visit.

First visit here. Paulicarus took the only real ale, the house beer by Wylam brewery. Enjoyed it. A wrap around bar just off the Bigg market. Popular with TV sport; Cheltenham week.Toilets to rear. Almost pis8sed them, not well signposted.

Great bar, great prices and always busy. One of the best pubs in Newcastle

Hidden gem. Called for a drink. Great atmosphere. Very busy. Cheap prices. Highly recommended

Great bar very low prices for drink, everytime we visit Newcastle we go there.

Have always loved this pub .. ever since I was in my late teens till now (I’m 54 🤣🍻) .. this has a great mix of people and no matter the day or time you come in the atmosphere is always welcoming and friendly .. the bar staff are characters too and are very funny when you get to know them!

Far too expensive for what it offered. You don't like Thai or foreign cookery you've had it. If you have food problems, eg, diabetes, gluten free I don't think it would be a help either. They're too interested in getting their moneys worth from you than the other way round.

Great pub just off the Bigg market. Very busy and lots of local ‘characters’

Decent little pub and great for sitting in the sun with a drink. The venue itself is relatively small and the majority of the seating is outside...there was spill over onto the lawn on one side. Punters following the sun. I would defo go back.

Staff are all lovely and welcoming. The outdoor beer garden is lush and often has live music and rapper dancers. The eclectic mix of live music,comedy and special events are always top quality. I highly recommend this place it's everything you want from a traditional pub with a warm welcome and when autumn winter comes around the cosiness of a real fire .

Nice little pub nestled away in Ouseburn. Good selection of ales

Wednesday 24th September 2025 This pub is deceptive looking from the outside looks 19oos and inside it is a lot older feel to it It has a unspoilt feeling It has a great frontage outdoor drinking area. The landlord is a gentleman that truly understands real ales. There's 5 spectacular real ales on from locally and in some cases obscure breweries When in Newcastle this pub for real ale drinkers is a must to drink in Go in

We went with our Morris ‘side’ for a get together with many of the other Morris Dance sides in the region . A good night was had by all those dancing and spectating . Food is limited to bar snacks but excellent range of beers and ciders . We were all with friends and enjoying dancing together on a summer’s evening . So atmosphere was great …. Even the ‘civilians’ enjoyed themselves

Sanctimonious bar maid got the 'wrong end of the stick' of a private conversation and asked us to leave. I've been to this excellent pub many times over the last decade but won't be back.

Can't believe first visit to this pub, reason being where it is located, a bit off track from other pubs. In saying that, it's only a 10 minute walk from Byker metro station. Good old fashioned boozer, with an excellent atmosphere in a good location in Ouseburn. Reasonable selection of drinks and decent prices. When back in Newcastle again, will attempt to walk to Ouseburn and visit again.

Fantastic little pub specialising in local beers which are obviously chosen with thought and love. The atmosphere is great, it's just the right size so that you can easily make new friends or keep to yourself if you want. The staff are friendly and know their beer. The place looks incredible too... I wish I could have stayed all day. I wish it was my pub actually, then I'd never have to go home.

Wandered in whilst strolling around alnwick and were really pleasantly surprised by the warm welcoming atmosphere. We tried a few of the local ales and the bar staff were helpful in recommending which ones to try according to our preferences. We managed to get a seat, the bar isn't very big but we invited another couple over to share the table as it seemed like others were doing similar. Great atmosphere would have liked it to be my local!

5 stars all around. No food is offered and it's made obvious before you even step in the building...among other rules.... well please step in anyway because you won't be disappointed. Very comfortable and relaxed environment, superb staff with knowledge of the current/upcoming ales, excellent music and a unique decor to enjoy. Definitely hope to be back to enjoy more local ales and hopefully some live music! Cheers!

No food, but by far the best place to have a pint in Alnwick. Welcoming place and staff, great selection of beer (and some good whisky). There's a sampler with 3 different beers for £6 (2025) that's definitely worth it.

Small real ale pub that keeps its ales fastidiously well and serves them with enthusiasm and friendliness. Good music ethos too. Would be 5 star if it had a few interesting Belgian or German bottles to widen the selection a little.

Popped in for late evening beers,, historic pub, one of the oldest in Alnwick, sandstone built building, very cozy inside, small but welcoming, good choice of beers local brews too, Camra recommended,, friendly barman & locals,,

We visited when staying in the area for a few days, nice local pub with plenty of different drinks to try. We had a sample tray each, which was reasonably priced. Blankets and treats for the dog were a nice touch.

Horrific night club and service! Had booked a table here on Saturday night well in advance and paid a £500 deposit (£1600 total), our table was booked for 10:30 however we arrived about 45 minutes early and asked if we could just go into the bar etc for a drink until our table was ready, we was greeted by rude staff member who told us table booking don't start until 11pm etc even though our booking confirmation said 10:30. Anyway they advised us we couldn't enter early but they had a 'sister' bar around the corner we could go to until our booking so we went there first and it was called 'Aveika', we went here and had such a good time however once it was time for our booking in Livello we headed back to the club only to be denied entry because the bouncers didn't like the look of one member of our groups clothing despite letting people enter the club in the exact same clothing. After discussing with the bouncers i then asked for a manager as i wanted my £500 deposit back only to be told be a rude man and woman who was working on the door that 'this wasn't the process and we couldn't have our money back' Eventually we managed to speak to some staff member that worked inside the club and they confirmed they would allow us entry however we would need to wait outside in the freezing cold until our table was ready. After standing outside for maybe 20 minutes they came out and told us 'they could not find our booking' even though we had confirmation and a receipt of payment for the £500 deposit. After standing outside for maybe about 15 minutes they came out and told us they had found a table for us and we was allowed into the club. They did not give us the table we had reserved upstairs but instead a table downstairs where the service was horrific! The night club itself was absolutely terrible, terrible music and was half empty inside. Would not recommend anyone goes here unless you wanted to be treated horrific by members of staff and overall have a terrible night. Much better places to go in Newcastle than this!! The club seriously need to rethink their door staff, absolute terrible treatment from them who all thought they was better than everyone else there and going out of their way to try and ruin peoples nights. Do not waste your money we left after an hour of being in there.

I was ‘kicked out’ the bar for being unsure if I wanted to be upstairs or downstairs. The head doorman did not investigate this thoroughly therefore I was told the reason I was unable to go back in was being rude to staff. Which I was not in any way. Group of 11 girls left due to this.

Nice bar with expansive outdoor seating and great selection for cocktails. There was a bit of confusion on our visit that a flyer said 'classic cocktails 2-4-1', but after ordering there are only selected cocktails included, despite the flyer not showing any terms and conditions. The bar staff were very accommodating with the confusion and were professional in doing so.

This club is getting away with scamming people in broad daylight. DO NOT GO THERE!. Wish I had read the other reviews before we agreed to go. My friends and I made a booking in advanced and paid in excess of £500 for a group reservation. A couple of the guys arrived before 10pm and was refused entry on some made up reason by the bouncer. They obviously didn’t like the idea of some appropriately dressed black guys being in their empty club. We tried to get a refund on the booking and after numerous calls and emails it’s still took 2 months which eventually lead to them DENYING us our money back. Absolute Criminals running this place. Save yourself from a disappointing rip-off night and go somewhere else trust me.

attended a cocktail class with friends, great service, thoroughly enjoyed the evening, fab selection of nibbles and even better cocktails! Great fun for a different spin to start the night!

Fabulous service & amazing cocktails. Arrived twice today without a booking both times, the girls couldn't be more helpful & friendly. Ellie was especially helpful & I can't recommend this lovely bar enough! Drinks are reasonably priced for city centre & we loved the experience 😜

Good service, lovely cocktails and nice outdoor area. We visited in the afternoon so it was very quiet, starting to get busy as the night crowd arrived. But all in all, a lovely place to drink

First time eating here and not disappointed! Arrived at car park at around 7pm, plenty of spaces but it is a private pay to park space, you can validate your parking inside the pub however! There were plenty of tables available and there was a nice overall feel to the place. The menu was a fairly standard pub style selection but they did have specials on too. The food however wasn't standard and was both well presented and tasty with good sized portions. Served up by a very friendly and accommodating barman/(manager perhaps) in a timely fashion. He was clearly busy as the only person behind the bar but he paid us good attention throughout our meal. My wife and I had a starter, main and desert and every course was delicious! Will certainly eat here again!

Food is decent for the price, good quality fresh vegetables, nice Sunday lunch, but sometimes it's hit and miss with the food, but you get good service.

It serves a decent pint of Stella and is handy for the train station - Typical northern boozer really. Can't comment about the food but they stopped food quite early the one day, about 6ish? So may need to book ahead.

Group of us ate here for Sunday lunch, and were super impressed with the food. Good portions, (bonus points for hot plates) great choice of veg and the mash was unreal. Staff were superb, especially with our young children. Prices were reasonable too. Will definitely be back.

Called as everywhere else was packed on a Sunday for dinner. 6 of us come and lucky If there was 12 people in the full place. Food wasn’t nice at all. Packet sliced beef like you get in herons. Veg cold and hard and the size of the poor excuse of the Sunday lunch was for the borrowers I think. Crying shame it’s a lovely pub but been run down. Staff were even as miserable as the food and service.

Gorgeous Sunday lunch as always. Great staff and service too, nothings a problem to them. Generous portions and fantastic choice if you dont want a roast but I'd highly recommend them. 😋😋 Dog friendly which is always a bonus. Dont visit without trying the salted caramel icecream cheesecake its devine!!

Lovely friendly pub. Our food was piping hot and tasty. Lots of space inside and out.

Absolutely appalling place. Terrible, terrible music. Think Vengaboys and corny rubbish like that. This cost £5.00 each on the door and we stayed for one drink and left. We couldn’t stand it anymore it was like being at a kids birthday party. I’m amazed they didn’t start playing the shark song it was so bad. We didn’t have food but the pizzas did look nice. Bar staff miserable and stood constantly on their phone. Only looking up to serve someone and being visibly annoyed because they interrupted their scrolling.

This place is a classs night out. Order sourdough pizza at 1am without having to leave the venue IDEAL. And the pizzas are wicked too and such good priced. Staff are niceee and music is always bouncing.

Went to the bar and ordered 4 doubles and 4 shots - not a cheap round! But even more expensive than expected! Asked for the bill and when we got it we were charged an extra £8 NYE charge! Questioned it and was told they added it New Years EVe and no one questioned it and so was told to do it all the time! I’m happy to pay premium prices for a prwmium experince - this was just a rip off! Do not recommend!

Busy venue with good music and a nice crowd, good deals on trebles and they got pizzas all night long which is amazing when on a night out (plus they are pretty good pizzas), absolutely recommend this bar if you want a class night out!

Busy fun bar 2 for 1 on good beers . Think we paid £11 for 4 morrettis

I visited this place as a solo traveler and was shocked by how I was treated. The security refused to let me enter simply because I was alone. This kind of behavior felt discriminatory and unwelcoming. I do not recommend visiting this place.

Great bar, good music and cheap drinks!! The pizza is also unreal. Will definitely be back :)

Decent place located in a converted shop, with a good range of beers, including some super strength ones. Fair prices. Not that much atmosphere, but a good view of the street and passersby from the front window seats. A nice enough neighbourhood bar basically.

Elder Beer cafe is my favourite bar in Heaton. Amazing beer, including on tap the likes of Deya and Left Handed Giant - and in the fridge a tremendous selection including Beak. The atmosphere is always great and the service fantastic. The quiz on a Tuesday night is also a highlight. Nice little beer garden at the back. Go for a beer stay for the amazing vibes.

Wanted to try this place for a while. It did not disappoint! Fantastic range of drinks, simply sublime outdoor area. Looking forward to visiting again!

We took our sushi from Veganatomy over to Elderbeer to eat it there. Great collaboration! Lovely craft beer we were able to taste. If you are are around, pop in!

Really friendly cafe specialising in craft beer. I've always had a friendly welcome and its not an intimidating or off putting beer geek place. Having said that they know their onions. Stock shows both great knowledge and a love of contemporary beer styles with cans and bottles from local breweries, known craft beer names from across the UK as well as international including Belgian classics including Trappist, abbey and saison. They have eight draft lines and two cask now. As well as tap takeovers, they often have Deya beers on draft and a Rigg and Furrow on cask. There are always a variety of styles on draft and cask. The little beer garden to the rear is cosy and well sheltered to avoid showers. There is a piano for show offs but this adds character. It's a nice spot for a coffee or a beer, for meeting friends or on your own. In fact outs a good spot for solo drinking and you are not treated like you have two heads if thou just want a quiet pint or 2/3s by yourself. Also good for a take out can or bottle. They've teamed up with Flint Pizza down the road so thou can eat and they also have an arrangement with a local cheese company. A great addition to the burgeoning Chilli Road food and drink scene (If that is a thing!).

We visit Elder Beer most weeks - great selection of well kept beers served by amazing staff😁 We met some fab folk from Manchester on our visit tonight Beer was amazing as ever - always look forward to returning So lucky to have as our local bar is Xxxxxxxxx Great local bar with a fab selection of beers especially like bitters and dark beers. Great atmosphere, the service and bar staff are amazing especially Daniel and his great beer knowledge 😃x

It's a gem, whether it's American filter coffee and laptop, a hippy local beer, or a Irish stout in the backyard beer garden...or a Belgian geuze with friends. Elder has it covered
