Bay Horse in Gateshead

Spent the afternoon here playing pool with my brothers .we were made very welcome ,staff were great and a good family atmosphere .🍺🥃🍺🥃🍺

Nice pub in Whickham. Decent selection of ales / lagers. Food was enjoyable and good value. Greene King chain but standard was good. Very busy on a Saturday evening so lucky to get a table. Lively atmosphere, music was a little loud, but that’s expected for a Saturday night. Enjoyable evening.

Family occasion, food really good, service exceptional great atmosphere due to the family occasion 👍

Didn't have any food Beer was good

Good local pub, food is canny. Live bands on occasionally on a Friday night. Always worth a visit for a few sherbets, quizzes advertised and a resident drag DJ playing the classics if a band isn't on

Excellent service, staff very friendly especially the female bar member who was south africa. Food was delicious and the football was a bonus on the tele.

Thanks for putting the mackem game on. Come on Leeds!

We had a really good experience here. We were looking for a dog friendly pub that wouldn't be too busy and noisy for our dog. Got to the pub, and it was quite noisy and busy inside... but then it was a Friday evening, so we anticipated it would be. Even though it was a little chilly, we sat outside as it was quieter. The outdoor seating is nicely laid out and had a nice relaxed feel to it. Ordering food by the app was so easy, and you can do it without visiting the busy bar. Great if you have a dog. The food was great. Tasted good and looked good. One side order was wrong, but they quickly changed it and brought it back out with lots of apologies. We also placed an app order for Chardonnay, but they'd run out and came out to tell us and ask if we wanted a different wine. When this was brought out, they said they'd put the 50p difference back onto our card without us asking. Brilliant. A great pub that is well worth visiting.

We were just looking for somewhere to eat. What we found was a lovely pub whose atmosphere and staff made us feel so welcome thar we even joined their pub quiz!

Decent food, good music and speedy service

What a joy, sitting in the bayhorse tonight, yes it's quite, but the staff are super busy, cleaning, all I ever see around the pubs in whickham, are staff standing around ( when it's quiet) as a past barmaid 50years ago lol, That's what we did, we clean we stocked sleves, we checked toilets etc, Charlie and Micheal, you are a credit to your bosses xxx

Brilliant night watching the band 😁

One of the best nights out in a long time. I booked a table and from the moment I entered the door was made to feel welcome. The person who showed us to our table was called tasha and she was accommodating through out our entire stay. Being bubly, friendly and most importantly attentive to our dietary needs as my friend has allergies that make her not comfortable with eating out very often. Will definitely be returning, great service and great food

Spot on atmosphere, proper canny staff, good prices and decent scran. Was served by Traci who was really nice and helpful.

The quiz on Wednesday evenings is always great fun and has a lovely atmosphere

Nice pub friendly good food staff very helpful dogs welcome recommend

Great food and great atmosphere too. Staff were all great, so friendly and helpful. Great pub, I will definitely be back again. Highly recommended.

Best night here Tracey is a legend!

Had a lovely night at the bay horse, tonight on wednesday, and can i just say the lovely host of quiz night tracy, is an absolute gem!!! created a great atmosphere and got the crowd interacted!! will deffo be back for quiz night, thankyou tracy x

Myself, my mother and a couple of friends attended the bay horse last night for the only fools and horses themed quiz night. We had a fab time. Sam who hosted the quiz was brilliant. Absolutely fantastic quiz master! She put a lot of effort in to ensure everyone had a good time. We ate there and the food was delicious. All the staff were really friendly. Definitely recommend a visit. Looking forward to the next themed quiz night. Keep up the fantastic work Sam.

Spent a very happy Saturday afternoon here with friends and looked after by very helpful bar staff especially Sam who was super friendly and helpful

It was great but very quiet we did go later on will go again

This is a great pub with friendly staff and great food. However I have to have a little moan😩My pensioner friends and i have a table booked for 5pm every Friday. Sometimes there is six of us sometimes ten. For some reason they have replaced our comfy chairs with a bench seat. This is rather uncomfortable for us elderly gentleman who suffer from bad backs and other aches and pains 😩Just to say this is our only complaint as everything else about the pub is great. But please can we have our chairs back? 🙏

Love the place, so friendly, welcoming and just a nice vibe with good people. Thanks to Joanne and Becca for doing a great job

Went for the England v Denmark game in The Euros. Dionne & her team had organised the tables in such a way that everyone had great views for the game. Despite how busy it was Dionne, Joanne, Cheryl & the whole staff made sure everyone was served efficiently & without any issues. After the game, Dionne had arranged further entertainment with DJ Fifi creating a great party atmosphere….not easy after the England performance !! Our party had a great night & had England done as well as The Bay Horse team, they’d have hammered Denmark !!

Best bar in Whickham . It has a great beer garden and when it’s sunny ( remember the. Sun ) it’s great as nice music is played . Staff are great and very friendly and do a lot for charity. Also if you have the Greene King app you get discounted prices. The only down side as they have a system where you have to book tables which is ok if you are having a meal but just a drink it’s not on and the staff hate it ( but I am not allowd to say this). It such a sham to see people kicked off their tables after spending a fortune as someone else has booked it. I think this daft policy will be withdrawn soon and back to the old days like every other pub first come first served. However definitely recommend and the may see the famous Wigster the who used to be in Au weidershain pet and will still sign autographs. He sits in the big table just in front of the bar next to nice Chris

Smashing sunny day 😎 sat outside comfortably on sponge seats they also had plenty shade. Inside about 5 people. Service great.

Tracey was amazing at the quiz and serving she is a credit to your company and would go far and beyond would come back again

Although there isn't much parking here the inside was great. Was full of nice sensible people with no beer swilling going on. I tried a few plates of the small portions and they were all good. The pork tacos were really nice! They even made a very nice cappuccino. It's quiet in here so feels relaxing and the place is clean. They have loads of TVs in here so no matter where you look you can see a TV. I don't watch sport but for the sport fanatics I'm sure that's a handy thing.

Really nice pub with great food. Staff were very friendly and it was a very nice pint of Carling I got. Pool table and plenty TVs to watch the football if that is what you are looking for 👍🏻. Definitely be back.

Went to the Bay Horse to celebrate St George’s Day, there weren’t many people in but we still had a great time playing card games and stand up bingo. Joanne and Sam behind the bar made it such an enjoyable experience. They also had the football on the tellies so could still watch the matches. Will definitely call back in if the card games and bingo become a regular feature!

Me and my girlfriend went in for a couple of drinks and were delighted at the service provided. They also had the sports on which was a bonus. Not really a local for me, but would definitely go again.

Very satisfied with my time at the Bay Horse. Only went for a couple of drinks, but had a great time. Cheap pints, football and good seating area. It was busy, but more than enough room. Would definitely go again.

Didn't have the steak we ordered so we're asked to have the more expensive steak at the higher price, then the stake wasn't the best Didn't have any flavour at all, was chewy nd lots of gristle wouldn't order steak again from the bay horse, also a very noisy bar for somewhere that serves food

My wife recently held her retirement party in the private upstairs function room which was attended by approximately 50 guests. The room itself was ideal for her requirements and the staff were first class from the booking/planning stage through to the event itself. The supplied buffet was excellent quality, regularly replenished and very good value. The large downstairs bar which has multiple screens showing live sports allowed guests to take a break from the party as they saw fit. Overall we were delighted with the service provided and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Bay Horse, Whickham for your function or indeed as a bar for food and drinks. Many thanks for a job well done.

Had a lovely meal with the wife. Great atmosphere and lovely friendly staff

Visited the dog friendly Bay Horse to have a meal and a drink. From the time you walk through the doors the service we recieved from all of the staff was fantastic and the food was excellent. The pub locals also make you feel welcome and will chat to you. I would highly recommend this pub for food or drinks and I will definately recommend the Scampi & Chips.

Great pub lots of seats haha good music spot on really. Fun night.

We held our gender reveal party here last night, was amazing.. the staff were so friendly and helpful nothing was to much to ask.. we ordered the buffet for 20 people and everyone was commenting on how nice and fresh the food was (there was loads aswell, well worth the money).. any more future parties will be held here from my friends and family.. can’t recommend enough.. thank you again and will see you soon.

Good food and service, we have been there a few times. You don't get a better recommendation than that.

Excellent!!! 14 of us had Xmas dinner, fantastic food and service, staff amazing. Recently celebrated a 30th birthday there with over 40 family can’t fault a thing and would highly recommend!!

First time here and it was nicer than expected. Lovely staff. The food is your usual deep fried, heat up easy kind of menu, ours was made fresh, came out hot and it went down a treat.

I went to the Bay Horse today, 25th December 2023, for our family Christmas Lunch. It couldn't have been better. The room and table were tastefully decorated with Christmas themed decorations. There were some nice touches like lit candles, crackers and table decorations. I had the Turkey dinner whilst my parents both had the Steak. The food was really nicely cooked and well portioned, and it was clear that it was not veg that had came out of a freezer. I would go so far as to say it tasted home cooked. There was only 3 of us but it saved a lot of hassle instead of cooking at home. The staff were really good and made it a really nice day for our family. Thank you!

I had my sons engagement party in the lovely function room up stairs on Saturday the 18th November the room was all decorated beautifully everyone commented on the food it was fantastic so thanks to Cheryl for an amazing evening staff were great we all had the best night thank you xx

Lots of tvs for football and sports, good pub food, and good friendly atmosphere, and a buskers night every Thursday 👍

We visited the Bay Horse to have a family sunday lunch, The service we recieved from all of the staff was fantastic and to food was excellent ! I would highly recommend this beautiful pub for food or drinks.

Great experience, older (gorgeous) lady me and my pals a mint seat for the mags

My daughter lost her partner 23rd July 3023 she decided to have the wake at the bay horse in whickham. Dion and her staff were amazing Cheryl kitchen manager listened to what we wanted there was loads of food everybody commented how lovely it was . It’s a very friendly pub would highly recommend the bay horse for any occasion.

Wasn’t expecting much from here but was thoroughly impressed! The Sunday lunches were buy one get one free - less than £20 for two Sunday lunches and soft drinks! And the food was delicious- the turkey wasn’t dry and the portion sizes were really good Highly recommend if you’re after a tasty, affordable and good value Sunday Lunch

Would just like to say that we had a lovely meal with great service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I can certainly recommend this pub, friendly atmosphere and great staff.

An amazing local pub. We are always greeted with smiles from both staff and customers alike. We go a few times a week with our toddler and are made to feel really welcome. We meet up with old friends and make new ones, it's a really community hub. Thanks to Dionne and the team!!

Ive never had a dinner so bad.. i only went as had been for breakfast at harry clasper next door and seen they had offer on at bay horse for sunday lunch. I had beef that was the worst full of blood. Hard roasties. No peas. No mash swede nothing. Unsure how to upload pic or vid of dinner but was gobsmacked.. shocking. Couldnt fault the staff tho lovely people. We spoke up at the time and was offered an alternitive but after the dinner we couldnt face anything else. So disappointed as had high hopes it would be a nice meal. Refund should of been offered and to be honest also a voucher as the food was that bad. J never write reviews but had to with this meal being so disgusting. If u know how i upload pic or vid id happily do so. Again i repeat the 3 staff i spoke to couldnt of been friendlier got further down and seen i can upload oops

Great food and nice location . Well worth the trip 😁

Very nice pub food is very good

It's okay, but too much focus on loud sports TV. Food service is problematic, as we waited 45 minutes for our meal. We enquired but the delay was blamed on a printer issue. People who ordered food long after us got served sooner. Not a place to go if you are hungry. Hit and miss!

Fantastic local with a very friendly atmosphere. Went with friends, one of which was visiting from London, s as nd enjoyed a relaxing afternoon with excellent service throughout from Dionne & her team (especially Joanne & Phoebe). Some new staff have recently joined Dionne’s & whilst I don’t know their names yet, they were equally efficient & polite. The friend from London remarked on how much he missed the local, friendly feel of pubs like the Bay Horse down South. All in all, a great afternoon !!

Called in on Friday with the lads on a work night out.. great atmosphere and always great service! Always get a warm welcome ..Keep up the good work!

Great local pub, always a warm welcome from Dione and the team.

Nice place. Drinks at reasonable prices.

Waited 45 mins for our meals had to send back as they were stone cold

My son and daughter took myself and my wife out for a meal , we really enjoyed the experience the Bay Horse is a Dog Friendly Restaurant and we will certainly visit again .Alan R

Very friendly, no vegan food to speak of, but 5 stars for the doggy ice cream.

Food very nice, only problem tiny car park. Have twice visited only to go somewhere else because we couldn't get parked.

The Tacos and buffalo wings at this pub are excellent, as is the service. The only downside I can think of is that the pub does not have WiFi.

Great bar, watched the cup final. Prices were good also atmosphere and service.

Nice pub nice staff food alright.

Lovely meal and a very pleasant barman. enjoyable relaxing afternoon...

Best bar in the village as it has always been. 👌

This pub is a really nice place plenty of outside space to sit out and enjoy the sun 🌞 really nice staff too

Great pub, brilliant atmosphere and fantastic team. All are made to feel welcome and the drinks selection is good with delicious food being served all-day

Lovely staff, lovely cosy bar 😁

Wow you've got to love this place for the atmosphere and the craic, and the music playlist they play is groovy too

Been the past two days and what a great pub! Food is amazing and the staff are lovely and welcoming. Was served by dion and she was absolutely amazing. Definitely be back sometime!

Great pub. Popped in for a little tipple on a Wednesday afternoon. Very pleasant atmosphere with pure unreal tunes like. Bartender Joe was extremely good looking and attentive. Great venue with a brilliant selection of beer and a few nice ales.

As always a great atmosphere £3.50 extra a round compared to nextdoor, but still packed, says alot.

luvly locals pub good pint a little expensive but they do have live music on so fine with that.....the staff & standard ov service however is quite simply TERRIBLE i have frequented this bar on several occasions EVERY time i say never again but as it's local to me ....i think argh go on everyone can have a bad day but sadly the standard ov service however is quite simply TERRIBLE please do reply to my comments & i ( we) will gladly explain how why & when just such a shame people with NO people skills are able to work in the hospitality trade....how ever I'm not holding my breathe

Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, nice beers, great quiz on a Wednesday. Been my true local for 20 years now and always is a nice place to have a few pints or a bite to eat.

We just called in for a quick bite and a drink very pleasant

Lovely generally . I was working, I’m a support worker the night we came in. The lady really enjoyed her hunters chicken dinner. Thanks guys.

No complaints happy with visit and food an drink.

Good food and drink limited parking

Lovely little pub in a nice area, extremely attentive and welcoming staff. Ordered two steaks both were cooked to perfection by John in the kitchen cannot commend him enough. Definitely will be back :)

This place was heaving when we ate there on a Sunday night (of bank holiday weekend). It looked like a regular "formula" pub. The beer was ok but could have been better, both real ales tried were good beers but just were not kept well. The food was a standard menu but both courses were really well cooked and tasty. Definitely a good place to get good value food and drink.

Nice pub. Nice atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Thank you.

Cracking local pub. It's been a while since I've been here but will be returning soon. It has a great menu, good selection of drinks. Inside its a nice comfy chilled environment and there plenty of outdoor seating in and out of the sun too. The staff were friendly and the food was awesome. They do a belter deal for a steak on Thursdays, I went for it when I saw it and it was spot on. If you park outside make sure you scan the QR code to the right of the bar for your parking.

Limited menu when we visited due to no corn oil delivery so ate elsewhere- date of attendance Monday 25th July - date added in response to Bay Horse reply

We've just had a superb lunch, great burger, great nachos served by pleasant and friendly staff. Would highly recommend

What the hell happened last night

Lovely pub with lovely staff and the food looked really tasty !! Defo worth a visit !!

Nice pub. The food was OK. The Bao buns were nice but the rest of the meal was just a bit 'meh' it was expensive for an ok-ish meal. Sorry..

Quite busy given it was a Monday night. Food to usual standard

Enjoyed a couple of draught beers in The Bay Horse on a Saturday afternoon. The pub is comfortably decorated, has several TV screens for viewing sport and a decent range of drinks to choose from.

Yet another lovely meal at the Bay Horse. Great selection of lagers, great selection of lovely foods, and super friendly staff.

Staff nice, beer garden sparkly, casked ales fine

Great atmosphere, great beers, and a friendly welcome from joanne, what's not to like 🙂

Quite simply the best pub in Whickham. Always has been & always will be.

Lovely pub very friendly staff good atmosphere

Nice pint. Taken there by Dean taxis and back

Superb bar with live music great food and a private function room.
