We came here for a family meal. This was our first time here. We've passed here so many times over the years and thought we must come to try it out and for whatever reason we haven't but today was the day. Upon entering the pub we were greeted by the wonderful smell of Sunday roast dinner. For me, that's a great first impression. Wandering through, it was like being in a Tardis, it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. The staff are friendly and happy to help especially if you have dietary requirements. There's a good menu with gluten free alternatives as well. I would imagine this will be a busy place at weekends so it is probably advisable to book in advance to avoid disappointment. All in all, this is a lovely little village pub with a warm welcome to everyone. We'll definitely return again in future.

Came here for lunch with my grandad.Lovely atmosphere and staff are very friendly and welcoming. I had mince and dumplings whilst my grandad opted for the chilli which came with chips and rice. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the smaller portions were plenty enough. Couldn’t resist the rhubarb crumble on the desert list which was absolutely Devine. Will definitely be one of our regular lunch days out. Sorry no photos we dug in as soon as they came 😋

A lovely local pub and it does a very good pint of Guinness! Wonderful food and extremely friendly staff. Much better than the Beacon and Red Lion pubs. The cannon is a little gem, a pub the community of Earsdon, Wellfield, Monkseaton and Shiremoor should support. This is a traditional, genuine local pub and it’s great!

We have eaten and drank here for a number of years, the staff are great, friendly and attentive. The food is home cooked, always extremely tasty and well presented, they also do small portions which is fab if your not too hungry. The take away service is great, and they they do the best desserts especially the CHEESESCAKES.

The food is outstanding loads to choose from on the menu. Portion size is really good. Came on a rainy day and had mince and dumplings, never able to eat more than one course meal here. Would recommend booking for a Sunday as it can quite busy. I think it would be nice just to have some background music on in the background

Visited with my wife on Sun 7 April for Sunday Lunch and was overwhelmed with the quality of the main courses and desserts, plus the friendliness and service of all the staff. The roasts were perfect, the mash, roast potatoes and veg all freshly cooked and huge home made Yorkshire puddings. You also have the choice of either regular or small portions. My wife had a small pork and said it was more than ample. A hidden gem in a quaint Northumberland village

We went yesterday for afternoon tea. Both of us were looking forward to it and we were not disappointed. There was a great selection of sandwiches, savouries and sweet treats for us to enjoy. And we did!!! Everything was fantastic and very tasty. I would recommend it anyone. To be honest I have been going to there regularly for breakfast for a few years now but at other times too for lunch or in the evenings. I have never been disappointed. The food has always been great, as have the staff who always make you feel welcome and do a great job. Well worth the visit!

We go to the Cannon regularly for lunch, usually on a Friday, and have never been disappointed! The staff are lovely and attentive, taking orders for drinks and food at the table, there’s a good choice of cask beers and plenty to choose from the menu (which are all home cooked). I particularly like that some dishes are offered as small portions as I have a small appetite. A cosy traditional pub with no TVs, piped music or one armed bandits! Perfect for a quiet pub lunch!

I came here today for lunch with my dad and brother. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. My dad is very deaf and when I mentioned this at the time of booking, the lady I spoke to kindly put us on the quietest table! The food was obviously home made and was very tasty. I overheard other customers saying how nice their meals were too. There were smaller portions available for people with smaller appetites, ideal for kids and the elderly. Prices are very reasonable and there is a fair bit of parking to the front of the pub which is in the pretty village of Earsdon, close to the coast. I will definitely come back here for honest, home cooked pub food (which I think is becoming harder and harder to find these days)

Heard good things about the carvery so thought I'd try the breakfast it was terrible the sausage was coated in congeled fat and hadn't been heated up all I could taste was lard and along with the over cooked eggs spoilt my experience if you want a decent breakfast give this place a miss I've been to wetherspoons before and it was 100% better than here

Hidden gem, went there for lunch, the staff were excellent from the minute we arrived, drinks served and looking at the great selection of meals available and as I was unsure what to choose, the waitress helped me along with a few other diners as a lot are regular diners, mince and dumplings were chosen, when the meal arrived, they are very generous portions and excellent quality with a side plate of vegetables, my wife went for a toasted sandwich with salad and homemade chunky chips (her own choice of filling from a good list) and she finished off with summer fruits cheese cake which she said was unbelievable Will definitely go again and so should you

Fantastic full English breakfast again. Delicious bacon, sausage, fried eggs, black pudding, hash brown, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms & toast all hot & cooked to perfection. Priced at £9.95 with unlimited teas & coffees it’s amazing value too. Great service off all the staff. Very welcoming & spoilt our dog with water bowl & doggy treats. We eat here regularly. Everything’s home made. One of my personal favourites is the mince & dumplings. My daughters favourite is their lasagna, my sons favourite is their homemade pies (they’re huge & packed with filling). We can’t resist their desserts. There’s always a wide selection. Their cheesecakes are amazing. Lots of wines, spirits, beers & ciders to choose from along with real ales.

I was in id say a couple of weeks ago. When I overheard a homophobic comment come from an elderly man who I believe was sat at the Bar, Towards Two Men doing nothing but enjoying their Evening! The Man at the bar had told them they needed to be Quiet, despite them hardly making any noise! Then he went onto make a Disgusting comment regarding their Sexuality. Staff did nothing! And the Man was allowed to remain in the Pub!! I managed Pubs for 15 years and a comment such as the one he made would have been Passed straight onto management/Owner but it was not!! We were completely outraged that this can still happen in 2023!! Will never be returning and passing the message onto others !! That it is not a friendly or safe Pub for same sex Couples to attend!!

Called in for something to eat today, it has been quite a few years since we've eaten there. We had the, deep fried haddock with chips, and the, mince with dumplings with veg., both were excellent, there is a choice of small or large for each meal, a word of warning, the large mince and dumplings are more like a sharing platter so be very very hungry or struggle to finish. Nice staff, homely place in a quiet position.
