Bridle Path in Gateshead

Came here last night. On closing when there was a major storm outside inside of having the decency of at least letting us near the entrance whilst the taxi came we were screamed at by the bouncers and pushed outside to get a taxi. There were several woman screaming crying because they could barely even stay on their feet the wind and rain was that bad. The bouncers at this time were just sitting and laughing inside. Absolute disgusting will never return.

Local bar. Always give you good service, food is fine

Fantastic service! Loved the music and atmosphere

Amazing breakfast as always in the Bridle Path with wonderful service from the super friendly and helpful staff, special mention to Brenda for going above and above, thank you!!!

Nothing but quality here 👌🏻 Food is fab and the service is always on point

Great atmosphere and great staff will definitely go back

Great food and service. Nice atmosphere, plenty of Tvs, great for sports. Beer garden. Great selection of beers.

Came for breakfast with my friends, great food and service provided to us. The staff are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable will definitely be back.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat and a refreshment, fair to say I will be having more quick bites and refreshments as I absolutely loved it!!

Lovely pub great atmosphere all the staff were lovely and the food was excellent I had the mixed grill and my friend went for a bbq mac burger will definitely return.

Absolutely amazing service in here, thank you to you all, I will be back soon!

Great pub with lovely staff . Food is amazing with a good selection of drinks

Food is always lovely here and the team are always polite and friendly

Food was lovely as always, pipping hot … staff lovely highly recommend The Bridle Path , lovely beer garden out the back nice and quiet

Bar lady Vicky was very nice and friendly ! Deserves a raise

The atmosphere had a great vibe on our visit.

Good atmosphere for watching the match, food served on match nights is nice, definitely worth sharing a plate or two. Very busy last night for the England game but bar service remained very efficient.

Need more selection on food , attuide on staff rudeness, overall quite expensive

Nice quiet place to get great food.

A very busy pub with larger groups. Dog friendly and excellent staff.

Super food (Sunday roasts are ENORMOUS) for the grandkids and myself, great service, well kept beers.

Didn't go in... waiting for bus opposite!

Came with partner and mother in law as they’ve recently changed menu and it was calling to me!! Opted for the Mega Mixed Grill (pictured) was absolutely unreal!!! Everything cooked to perfection! I left a couple of chips so was quite impressed as it was huge! Partner had the mega fish and chips with scampi bread and butter. I sneaked a bit of his fish and was out of this world! Mother in law creature of habit and went for scampi and chips which she said was beautiful! Prices are fantastic and Lisa can’t do enough for us when we we go she’s lovely! See yous again soon cause there’s another 9 or 10 things I need to try! Thanks guys! ☺️

Popped in for a few on Tuesday, Great service by the 2 lasses behind the bar. Great pint of Moretti, will definitely be back :)

I am usually in the bridal path quite often with friends and their family but tonight I was treated like as though I was a piece of nothing. I had spent money in there like anyone else and when I asked if the bar would be open after last orders I was given a smart laugh and a smart answer. I had proceeded to say that there was no need for the answer and the person at the bar said she can hear everything. She then agreed with another customer at the bar that I had ‘left my manners across the water’. That comment is uncalled for and would even be considered discrimination under the law. I just feel that I was more than polite when asking the bar about their closing times after last orders and I think it’s even more uncalled for considering that my dad’s funeral party was held there only a month or two before and we had spent good money in this bar. I just think that this type of discreet but also open discrimination shouldn’t be allowed by such a well respected bar in the area but also by a member of your bar staff. I am honestly so enraged I have to still deal with such disgusting behaviour living here for 11 years. Many people in Blaydon and across Gateshead view me as a part of their community but tonight I felt as though I was just a piece of rubbish you’d put in a bin.

Bridal path is one of my locals and i love the place. Staff are friendly and chatty. Drinks are nice and cheap and the food is unbelievable. Lisa carr who always serves me is an absolute diamond. So nice and kind and such an amazing person! 10/10 would recommend.

Good service, and my chicken tikka masala was nice, but my partner's 10oz rump steak was the worse steak we've ever had; asked for medium/well, and it came out burnt black; you couldn't taste the meat at all, it was so charred all you could taste was charcoal - and when you cut into it/pressed it, the juices that came out were grey. The chips were the only thing on the plate that was enjoyable, since peas that came with it were undercooked

Just called in for a quick drink before going for a meal at Chutneys. Wasn't too bad, good service, plenty of seating, but was spoiled by a group of very drunken women being very loud!!

Me my partner came in 3pm afternoon sat table 9 we call in every sat afternoon as we like have few pints meal we asked for well done small steak chips each plus he ordered me side mushrooms I never received mushrooms but steak was half welldone red which put me off

Fab full engish breakfast! Brenda always does a great job looking after us!

Good crowd,good pint great food

Great cheeky drink, great staff!

Changed a lot since I was in years ago, all for the better. I like the bat in the middle. Also the little football corner

First time we have been for food and the breakfast was lovely there was 7 of us and everyone enjoyed it. I would highly recommend trying it and the lady behind the bar was lovely and the service was great

Great local pub with lovely atmosphere Staff very friendly. Tried breakfasts here which were very good. Great prices too.

The best bar in Whickham with great drinks and very polite staff

Made very welcome called in for breakfast, loads to choose from coffee hot and lasted the whole meal. Dog friendly which is brilliant treats and extra sausage for my dog, will call in again well worth a visit 😀 Molly thanks you 😀

Great bar, brilliant for watching sport. Lovely pint, great prices and food is spot on. A small criticism, someone near the bar had really bad body odour, i was having to hold my breath to get a drink. If it was a customer nothing much they can do about that.

Just went to meet an old friend I tending to move around Whickham but stayed all night I the bridle path. Good atmosphere and plenty of seats.

I came here with family for lunch. We had pre-booked a table. As soon as we sat down we were told that there was only one chef in who was very busy so there may be a long wait and we ended up waiting almost an hour for food to come. Obviously this wasn’t ideal but I understand these things sometimes can’t be helped and to be fair we found the staff to be quite friendly and pleasant. Can’t say the same for the food however…we all went for the all day breakfast and not one of us managed to eat even a third of what was on the plate. The bacon was pink and undercooked as were the sausages, the eggs were dripping in grease and my beans were dry and like mush. Only thing edible were the hash browns and toast. The chef was maybe just having a bad day but safe to say we won’t be coming back here for food in future despite the friendly bar staff!

Nice little disco going on. Plenty of good tunes inc some indie bangers

Bar service can be slow as bar is always busy but still a great venue

Found ourselves in Whickham for the morning so decided to stop and have some lunch. Picked the Bridle Path as it looked nice and clean outside and also appeared to be busy which is always a good sign. We made the right choice. The staff were friendly and welcoming when we entered even though it was lunchtime and busy. I'd like to specifically mention Zoe, who went out of her way to run through the menu with regards to different vegetarian options and check some details with the kitchen for us. Nothing was too much trouble for her even though she was really busy. We'll definitely be back.

Good quality beers, plenty of seats and tables, and decent staff. Sometimes lacks a bit of atmosphere but it's not a bad place to watch football and racing

Nice village bar good company. Too many TV screens

Best boozer in whickham by far the staff could be a bit dressed tidier thou....but good boozer🙄

Amazing food yesterday at the Bridle Path, please keep up the great work

Such a lovely pub. Max and team can’t do enough for you! Would highly recommend

Good food, quick service and decent surroundings. It's worth a visit.

Too many tv screens and music too loud for a pleasant midweek pint. Shame really as there were enough folk in to have had a nice buzz about it without all the din.

Nice food very busy for a Thursday tea time.

Good night few beers burger football

Visited The Bridle Path Pub for the first time and was really impressed. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. A great pub if you are wanting to watch sport and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back again.

Great pub, really nice pint pulled by Dora the bar maid, she was really friendly and gave suggestions on lager and food. Will defoz make it a regular place to go.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Nice food.

Lovely freinly pub also spacious and food was lovely

Very filling breakfast at a great price

This is a friendly pub with some good ales and a nice menu of very good value food. They use a Carolina Reaper chilli sauce. Great with cauliflower "wings" which you can get in different sizes up to a 1kg bucket! You can also have it on a burger. The landlord is nice and will give you a warm welcome. The pub is pretty large so it is usually no problem getting a table. It is all open plan so feels very spacious.

Good atmosphere but expensive for drinks.

Great pub! It’s the perfect place to watch the football, with great customer service and atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, nice staff and great selection of alcohol.

After extensive research of pubs/cafes in the area, I started using this pub for my knit and natter group meeting about 2 years ago. The staff are all amazing, nothing is too much bother, breakfasts are the best around! I now also bring my gin group here every couple of months, I’ve never had a complaint from any of my members. And this year my knit and natter group, gin group and U3A group have all had our Christmas meal here, all meals highly successful! Thank you to all the staff! Lesley xx

Very nice breakfasts and nice staff.

Lovely traditional breakfast and only £3.50 excellent friendly and quick service best value in whickham.very clean and comfortable.

Always a great atmosphere! Good music, comfy and packed ! Well worth a look

¡Imponente! El personal, el servicio, la comida son tan buenos como mi última crítica, pero los alrededores han mejorado mucho. Fui a desayunar ayer y fue muy agradable. Hemos usado mucho este lugar últimamente, ya que estamos haciendo una reforma también, así que es un buen lugar para escapar y relajarse. También se convertirá en nuestro pub local pronto, pensamos.

1 vez en la calle en el Bridlepath después de la renovación y me encantó el cambio de imagen realmente agradable, fuimos a desayunar esta mañana y fue realmente agradable no me puedo quejar y definitivamente volveremos, el personal fue encantador, muy cortés, el precio fue realmente razonable sentí que teníamos una excelente relación calidad-precio, bien hecho para Bridlepath

primera visita desde la renovación y la nueva administración, la actitud del personal era muy pobre, me cobraron en la segunda ronda, muy decepcionado no volveré

Recientemente nos mudamos a la zona y estábamos buscando un buen local con buena comida. pasamos a probarlos todos y luego encontramos el camino de Brida. Excepcional bienvenida también se extendió a nuestro perro Benji. El personal es amable y educado. La comida es muy buena, con muchas opciones, opciones veganas y vegetarianas disponibles, no puedo quejarme sobre el servicio que hemos tenido, que ha sido fabuloso. Aman a los perros y les traerán agua potable y masticarán. Los precios son muy razonables y las porciones son buenas. Creo que está listo para una renovación importante después de Navidad 2019 y espero que los perros sean bienvenidos, ya que odiaríamos tener que ir a otro lado. Si estás en la zona dale vueltas, no te decepcionará, estoy seguro.

Reservé una mesa para una comida familiar. En mi cabeza lo había mezclado con otro lugar en Whickham. Un colega del trabajo fue criado en Whickham y se sorprendió al escuchar que servían comida. Pensé que había cometido un gran gran error. Este es un pub de bebedores, sin duda, con los locales fijos en sus taburetes en el bar. PERO el personal fue excelente y amable, la comida era buena y una buena relación calidad-precio y tuvimos una muy buena comida! ¡No había mucha gente comiendo! Pero como dijo mi hermana (una vegetariana) sin duda volvería allí para comer. Y eso es un gran elogio.

Spent lots of time in here and always enjoy the drinks and I have had food here too and it's been good. Often played the quiz and have enjoyed that also.

Come here whenever I visit my family and it's always packed to the raftas. Great selection of spirits staff all friendly (although barman called me a murderer for having ice in my drambuie 😉) . Will be back again on my next visit from York.

Hadn't been to this pub for a year as last time average age was 15. So lets see whats changed?Barmen would rather serve blonde female behind you in queue as it feeds there ego than serve who is at the front of the bar and next in line. Definatley.don't like beong challenged about this and will not admot to it or that a manager is available.Doormen threaten you when you ask whyHasn't changed in years as far as service is concerned they really think you are doing them a favour.Avoid at all costs rotten to the core from bar staff to bouncers

Visited here whilst staying at a nearby hotel. Great little find. Lovely inside, staff are very friendly and food is nice and great value for your money. Well worth a visit

Visited for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Very cosy and comfortable pub and the food is fantastic. My sister and her husband shared "The Plank" which is a variety of dishes for £9.99. Great value. I had the beef yorkie which is roast beef rolled in a Yorkshire pudding with chips, peas and gravy and it was absolutely delicious. Very filling.Lovely pub with Sky Sports on TV, friendly staff and great food - what more could you want.

Great food, great sports/ entertainment, great pints and most of all fast and friendly service. Whatever your pub needs are, the Bridle will for fill them!

Visité aquí con mi parner para un almuerzo rápido hoy.

Visité a Whickam con mi esposa para un funeral de amigos, y pasé la noche en un hotel a 100 m del camino de Bridle. El desayuno del hotel fue de 25 por dos, pero no pudimos enfrentarlo antes del funeral, así que fuimos a Bridle Path, alrededor de las 11. 15 a.m. Inglés completo, masivo, dos de todo, bien preparado y bien presentado. Fue excelente. 8 para dos. Vale la pena una visita y el menú de la tarde también parece atractivo.

Cracking pub and great food beer deal pizza chips and a beer £5.99 great atmosphere and we won the quiz!! Good service at the bar a c food was good. Well done 👍

Después de una caminata de la mañana por el MetroCentre buscando gangas navideñas, la otra mitad y salto en un autobús a Whickham para almorzar un poco. Habiendo visitado previamente los otros establecimientos que Whickham tiene para ofrecer, decidimos probar aquí.

Nice to just sit and relax with sport and a few drinks on Saturday afternoon. Staff formerly and prices very reasonable.

Hace unos meses decidimos darle una oportunidad a este sitio para desayunar en vez de nuestros habituales Wetherspoons en Whickham y ahora no vayas a ningún otro sitio!

He bebido en este pub durante años y es muy amable todo el mundo conoce y Carol y Michael no puede hacer más por ti he tenido algunas veces genial allí y teniendo en cuenta lo lleno el pub es que deben estar haciendo algo bien

Hadn't been in here for years so tried it out again. Had a Saturday sharing meal, we really enjoyed it! Great for the money.

Visit this pub most weekend nights and am used to the wait for service and this weekend was no different, however this week I was disgusted! With one blond female member of staff obviously drinking on duty then later in the evening VERY LOUD bouncing around the pub swearing and shouting! I personally believe she was on something that isn't on the BPs drinks menu and maybe a customer would be bared for using on the premises? This woman looks maybe mid 50s and I believe her son Micheal or Matthew works there occasionally.The management were nowhere to be seen as usual and the pub was in a disgusting state. I see the smaller guy mostly run ragged between kitchen and bar shifts. I have noticed some unpleasant changes in the last 6-12 month in the pub, staff and the lack of management presence. I was told the manageress had been there for years but I wouldn't recognise her if I saw her?!

Have been going here for quite some time and each time I have found the place to be far too overcrowdedIt is very difficult to be served at the barThe staff don't even look old enough to service drinks and the manager at the time (Darren) is extremely seedyThere is clearly some drug use taking place by the youths in the toilets here and there is a fight in the beer garden every other SaturdayDon't come here if you're looking to have a 'quiet one'

Been drinking here for about 12 years and most of the staff have been lovely, however going in a couple of days ago one of the staff (female) openly laughed at a hat I was wearing and continued to talk about it to one of the other members of staff which has had a child to her son who also works there . That is none of my business however she had no respect to me as a person or as an older person. TBH the had she was laughing at probably cost more that all her and the other barmaids outfit put together. They know who they are. But be aware anyone drinking there the staff judge you and are nasty

Este es nuestro pub y que normalmente no comimos allí, así que no puedo comentar sobre su menú, sin embargo sus cenas de domingo son excelentes, bien de precio y casero. Es un bonito pueblo acogedor pub, con un buen ambiente.

I had dropped in just for a drionk, but the food looked appetising so I decided to stay for a quick dinner. The food was hot and fresh and well presented, the service was quick, staff were friendly. All good.

Breakfast is only served from 11am - but until 12 (from when it is still available but at an increased price) it is honestly the best value - and best tasting full English I have experienced anywhere.Very highly recommended.

Had an excellent meal at the Bridle Path, staff were courteous and attentive, would definitely go again! They have a beer garden at the back with a huge new shelter, really nice for dining Al fresco.

I have been in this pub on several occasions over the last few years and have never been disappointed.The atmosphere is warm and welcoming The staff are friendly & attentive without being obtrusive.Food is excellent as is the range of beers/lagers available.For a pub they have an extensive quality Wine list.Every time I visit Wickham I will pay them a visit

Nipped in for a nice quite drink with my partner on a Saturday after. Nice friendly pub lovely clean nice deco, definitely be back.

Visited with family and our 3 year old yesterday. The food was fantastic and the staff were really accommodating and friendly.Thank you

We often pop up to the Bridle Path to have a reasonably priced meal, either just the 2 of us or with our son.The food is really well priced the portions are the right size and the food very tasty, all served with a smile.If you fancy going out and having a quick meal and a couple of drinks you could do a lot worse!

This pub is lovely. The food is lovely and had great choice of nice pub food if thats what you fancy. Also it is great if you just fancy drinks and a catch up with people. There is music or a live band on at the weekends which is a bonus and it always has a great atmosphere :-)

Came here on a night out ordered 2 drinks at the bar was desperate for the loo so I quickly went and thought I could pay for my drinks when I came out (ive done it in loads of bars before thought it would not be a problem) When I came out me and my friend were confronted by this rude jobsworth manager saying that we had to leave because we wasted 2 drinks at the bar! I said I'm on the way over to pay for them now and he was like its too late being so rude and nasty about it! Kept on refering to me and my friend as she and it! So rude! Such a shame as I grew up in Whickham and went to school there so was nice to go back to my local until that happened. Lucky for us it was closing time anyways!Wont be going back there in a hurry!

Staff were lovely, very friendly and welcoming.Ordered two Sunday dinners and a burger & chips. One Sunday dinner was incorrect - ordered half roast chicken and it came out as pork. Sent it back and received one small chicken breast! I was too hungry by this point to send it back again so just ate it. Veg and mashed potato were both bland and the two very small roast potatoes tasted like they had been cooked, cooled then heated up in the microwave. Burger was tasteless and overpriced.Wouldn't recommend or eat here again, I don't often leave bad reviews.

Been coming here for quite a while now and I must say the service is never good, mainly down to one individual male with the bald head and pink ear hoop is an absolute disgrace, he never looks to serve and at one point he was swearing at customers behind the bar. His attitude is basically I should not have to serve people which at the end of the day is his job, what's worse is the management tolerate this? In a competitive market place they should be doing more

My family and I have eaten here on several occasions and met here for drinks on even more. The Bridle Path is in a handy location and is generally pleasant. There is a good selection of drinks and a very varied food menu. The food is very inexpensive – it is pretty standard chain pub food and lots of items are probably pre-prepared. However I see nothing wrong with that as long as you know what you’re getting. We’ve always found it tasty, enjoyable and never been stuck for something to suit. Sunday Lunch is very nice - It comes with enormous Yorkshire puddings which certainly seem to me to be home made. Staff are friendly enough but the problem is that there never seem to be enough of them. You can have a very protracted wait to be served even when the place isn’t busy and this situation is only exacerbated when there is sport showing. However this is a small gripe and I expect we will continue to be regulars here. If we ever get the weather to enjoy it there’s a nice beer garden at the rear as well!
