Cog and Wheel in Newcastle upon Tyne

Nice enough bar but the gents' toilets were out of order. Had to use the disabled loo, which was in a shoddy state and not really fit for purpose. It's fine to invest in a means to fill people up with liquids, but please also invest in the facilities to dispose of them.

No where near the best in Newcastle. Watery tasteless gravy and bland food, roast was at max 6 out of 10 slow service dog poo starters. We didn’t even bother with desert

Very nice food and lovely staff

Very lively bar & restaurant. Recommended!

Lots of students, food, cocktails and more

Brought our daughter up to Uni for her second year and wanted to grab some lunch before we left. Warm welcome and nice atmosphere (the Toon were on the telly and they were losing but the vibe was still good!). The food was simply fabulous! - Sunday lunches were tremendous, tasty and massive! Really enjoyed it - would definitely return.

Hi, came here for a bottomless brunch. The actual place is lovely and has a really nice beer garden with TVs at the front of the building. We paid £35 per person for the premium brunch. Unfortunately, the bartender was on his own as someone had called in sick. The service was slow but we felt for the server. The drinks were ok, the food was actually really nice. I would like to give it ago again when there are more staff.

It's not the most comfortable of settings ...BUT the food is absolutely phenomenal 😁 and the staff are very attentive & friendly & professional - by far THE BEST Sunday lunch in this part of the city & the prices are very good too.. highly recommend the beef (the cabbage is 👌🏻) ..side note the cauliflower cheese is well worth ordering too 😀 Delicious 😋

Underrated food place in Newcastle, burgers spot on and service very good.

Great pub, goid subday lunch. Lots of atmosphere

Amazing food at reasonable prices. Can get very busy, so book ahead.

Lovely bar, friendly staff, nice food.

Food was really nice and the staff member who served us was very informative and nice

A mother and son day out and a bit of a sensitive date as it was the tenth anniversary of my stepdad’s passing. I’d had a couple of venues in mind for our Sunday lunch and opted for the Cog & Wheel in Jesmond. Received a warm greeting by staff on entry to the venue, I explained I was just a walk in and hadn’t booked a table in advance, but this wasn’t a problem at all and I was offered a reasonably good table inside. Bar itself is fine, I quite liked the decor which a bit shabby chic, but the ambience could have been better, I’m not a fan of music blaring as it just encourages everyone around to talk loudly, unfortunately this made conversation with my mother a bit difficult as she’s half-deaf as it is. Food came in good time, we opted for the three course special for £20.95 per person. My starter was a Chicken Caesar salad, my mother had the Prawn Cocktail, both were nicely presented and a decent size. Main course, we’d both opted for the seasoned spiced rubbed beef, portions were ok, but I’m not a fan of the ‘centre of the plate piling up’ presentation. I particularly liked the red cabbage’s seasoning but thought a couple more roasties on the plate certainly wouldn’t have hurt matters. I ordered some additional pigs’n’ blankets on the side, these were ok. Lunches came accompanied with a glass of house red. Dessert, we both opted for the sticky toffee pudding, these were a couple of little teaser taster treacle puddings with a couple of ice-cream balls, it was sweet and satisfactory. On the whole I pretty much enjoyed my food and drink at the Cog and Wheel, I’m happy enough to recommend the venue, I’d just suggest keeping the music level down on a Sunday lunchtime and be a bit more generous with the roast potatoes.

The hotel is so-so, but the bar has a great atmosphere

Fantastic food and service will definitely be back in the future great atmosphere would recommend everyone to try when in the area.

Great atmosphere, lovely pub grub and very cheap drinks. Excellent

Fantastic first time experience 😀 staff very friendly food awesome 5 🌟 to all at cog and wheel 🥳

A nice place to spend the evening. Nice people

Classic Cog & Wheel was absolutely filling and tasty for the price of £9.50. I will definitely get this again if I come back. Dead man's Daiquiri was also a refreshing fruity drink (£8.30)to complement the meal. My friend ordered Fish & Chips, I took a small bite and found it flavourful unlike most places. So I highly recommend this place as it is a real value for money.

She coggin on my wheel. I am Jesse Graham.

One of the BEST vegan burgers iv ever had!!!

Came in for a drink and sat on table which we assumed was free, as had no reservation card on it. Bar woman with bad attitude suddenly shouted from the bar “where’s your reservation!”. We apologised and said we didn’t realise. But rudely gave us further grief for not being mind readers and told us to get up. Said thanks and promptly walked out, never to return.

lovely pub , dog friendly. Food was spot on and a very cosy atmosphere

Staff so friendly! Very popular with students. Have food specials on too.

Went for Sunday lunch and enjoyed 3 courses, the food was delicious and staff very friendly. Why then have I only giving 3 stars then when I hear you ask, the toilets where not that clean and my biggest grumble is that you are charge a service fee on your bill. I was not aware of this as there was no mention but also I have eating in hundreds of pubs and never ever been charged a service charge. For a pub this is not right.

I thought the food was expensive for an ok meal. Should have been so tasty for that price!

Mother's day lunch can often be a hit & miss affair, particularly regarding service quality, food quality and, very often, the time taken to be served However, our (first) visit to Cog & Wheel in Sandyford this Sunday for Mum and Grandmother's day was a very positive and enjoyable one. Excellent, attentive, and efficient service. Decent 'home cooked feeling' Sunday roast, all served on a naturally busy day, hence the maximum score. We'll be returning and would give a wholehearted recommendation to give it a try.

Orlaith was brilliant, her service was quick and always cheerful. Credit to the business.

A lovely bar and restaurant in the vicinity of the city centre.

Use to love the food and drinks at this place, but in the past couple of months the burgers have really lacked in quality of meat and majority of the time the food is too salty.

Idk about the bar, but the Hansen hotel upstairs is just a terrible place to stay.

This fantastic place that is close to the center, has a fantastic atmosphere, different decoration and the staff is friendly and attentive in everything. I say this because I stayed one night in the guest house above the pub and we had a problem with the lock and since it couldn't be solved, they changed our room immediately, my good service.

Unfiltered Stella top drink ...Spot on 👍

Enjoyed the bottomless brunch, and server was fab

Bottomless brunch is actually bottomless, no matter how hard you try

Lovely place, good value food & drink.

Went as a bottomless brunch, we had two hours and managed to get a total 4 drinks and a burger and chips. At 35quid each, we had to keep looking for the staff, the quality of the cocktails were awful and the 40mins spent sitting with a warm drink.. it wasn't good. Not compared to the likes of revolution de Cuba who's food and drinks are quality and plentiful. This was a waste of money. 3 bottomless brunches going on at once and only one bar man and two waitresses, and they were bringing one drink at a time. Tequila tasted like vinegar. A definite NO from me. Total waste of money. Toilets rank and not maintained.

Came here for bottomless brunch and it didn’t disappoint. Food was great. Quick service and plenty drinks to choose from.

Great food and cocktails,staff were lovely will def visit again

Went for Sunday 'roast dinner' - the veggie/vegan option was very disappointing. Three vegan sausages with about a heaped serving spoon of mash and 2 small roasties, 2 sprouts and some undercooked carrots and parsnips. The gravy was gloopy and clearly from a packet of granules. The veg option is an afterthought with no real thought put in - at least do a nut roast or a pie rather than some frozen sausages. Probably the most underwhelming sunday lunch I've had in Newcastle

We were looking forward to the Sunday meal - but what a disappointment. Very cold food, almost raw veg, really long wait - the mains had to be sent back for reheating, as did the desserts. The toilets were really dirty. The waiting staff were nice though but we won't be back

Loved the decor and the servers were so friendly-they could obviously see me and my friends were hanging! We all ordered roasts, I ordered the vegetarian one. Mine came out 5/10 minutes later than everyone else’s. The gravy was globby and lukewarm, and the portion wasn’t massive compared to others-it felt a bit cheeky to charge the same price when certain things were excluded-just lob on a bit more mash to replace the Yorkshire pudding or something idk. One of my friends also thought the portions weren’t all equal, but we were probably just being hungry ill greedy hungover pigs. It was also quite late so maybe limited stock? Despite this I’d say we had a great time, the food tasted really good apart from the gravy and the vibes were chill. Would for sure go back, maybe go earlier and opt for something other than a vegan roast, didn’t really feel like a roast without a Yorkshire, the hangover really impacted my decision making there.

Fijne pub. Vriendelijke mensen. Ik heb veel pubs bezocht, maar deze is erg leuk.

Had Sunday lunch, it was really good and not too much, just the right amount

Really good music and a great atmosphere!! Really well priced aswell

Had a great Sunday dinner experience. Cool location plus a chilled vibe, along with great customer service and staff! Had a yummy beef diner with some sneaky pigs in blankets! Will definitely go back :-)!

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch in this little gem of a place. Was recommended by friends so decided to give it a go and was not disappointed. Lovely food and plenty of it! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing not to like and will definitely go back again.

Fab pub dinner here as we were staying in an air b&b relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, steak pie and chicken burgers were lovely 😊

Found this bar purely by chance as we were staying in a hotel nearby . The decor is decent and the prices for a beer were very good , there was a mix of age groups and a nice atmosphere . The thing that stood out was the service at the bar . They were very welcoming and friendly especially the tall girl with dark hair I should have got her name . There is a large tv showing sports and we will Definetly visit here again the next time we are in Newcastle .

Service in here is 2nd to none. The Irish lass behind the bar couldn't be better if she tried. So friendly never stopped seeing If we we're OK and topping up drinks. My first bottomless experience couldn't of been better. Come here for a 1st class experience. Will be back 💯

Ah, prithee, when one doth tread upon the cobbled paths of Sandyford, it is a grave oversight to bypass the allure of "Ye Old Cog and Wheel" pub. For 'tis not just the ancient timbers and tales of yore that beckon, but also the nectarous concoctions they dub as 'cocktails'. Verily, "Ye Old Cog" hath master mixologists, whose hands weave magic, turning simple spirits into draughts of pure delight. Each sip is a journey back to days of old, yet with a modern twist that tantalises the palate most wondrously. By my troth, amongst the aged ale and hearty fare, the cocktails stand as shining jewels in the crown of this venerable establishment. Huzzah for the Cog and Wheel and its potable wonders!

Came for their bottomless brunch, great service, delicious food, friendly and attentive staff and reasonably priced. Recommend 10/10.

Had a stunning bottomless brunch!! Only £30 with cocktails fast service gorgeous food good vibes all round 10/10 recommend

Such a great spot for bottomless brunch. Fast service and great vibes. Staff are lovely! Great value for money! MUCHAS GRACIAS

Hardest boozer in sandyford, gran loves it here!!

Good food, good vibes and a very comfy room especially at the end of a backpack holiday.

The Sunday roast lunch was really tasty. It was a good portion with fresh quality ingredients. Definitely value for money. Nice atmosphere and really friendly staff. Service charge was added to the bill ( I prefer leaving cash tips) but the waitress pointed the service charge out on the bill multiple times for full transparency which we really liked. Only improvement would be the cauliflower cheese as it was a little watery.

Bottomless brunch..... awesome and great bar servish...hic

Chilled place and they do a delicious vegan Sunday lunch so I can enjoy with my daughters, one of which has a non vegan dinner. Try it out. Enjoy!

Bottomless brunch was great, Craig Oliver Jake and Emily were all really attentive, really recommend

Have never met any staff better than Emily, Craig, Oliver and Jake ❤️

Bottomless Brunch was amazing thanks to Craig Oliver Jake and Emily we loved them

Lovely Sunday Lunch, and extremely friendly staff. Service was relatively quick, and I had a lovely time visiting

great student and young professional atmosphere, lovely food and drinks with great deals on certain days

What a fantastic little venue off the main road. Has a fantastic vibe and a great decor. Staff are super friendly and accommodating to your every need. Good selection of drinks from beers to cocktail to spirits. And the menu is quite cool with some great options regular stuff you would see elsewhere as well as their own specialities, food tasted great and can recommend the chips with the cog dust.

Came for bottomless brunch today. Jake and Eimear were absolutely amazing. Couldn’t recommend it any more. Thankyou for the best service. We will be back soon xx

Me and my friend went for bottomless brunch and it is THE BEST ONE IN NEWCASTLE. The service was A* from Eimear - she is amazing!! They made sure our glasses were never empty and they were so so lovely. The food is always 10/10. If you’re looking for a place to bottomless brunch, you won’t regret going here.

Called in for the first while visiting Newcastle, enjoyed my steak and ale meal,welcoming atmosphere. I will visit again on my return.

I recently went to the cog and wheel to celebrate a family members birthday for bottomless brunch. The service was quick and friendly snd the dtaff constantly made sure we had drinks . The food was lovely and arrived promptly. I would highly recommend and can’t wait to return .

Great place for a huge Sunday meal.. Highly recommended

Oliver, Jake, Orlaith and Caitlin were amazing today, brilliant service, so welcoming will be coming back soon, credit to the company

Oliver, Jake, Orlaith and Caitlin gave an amazing service. They were very timely and worked hard to accommodate for everyones food and drink requirements.

We went for a bottomless brunch on a Saturday and I can say that this was the best one I've been to. The service was amazing, had gluten free options for me. Super friendly staff. Oliver, Jake, Orlaith and Cai were great with the cocktail service.

Great spot for a beer always has a good vibe .. burgers are decent too 👌

Don’t waste your time or money going here , food awful , warmed up and soggy , staff very unprofessional, worst place I have been to supposed to have been a nice evening out !!!

Food was unreal. Chicken tenders were so fresh and hot, crispy, absolutely fantastic. The waffle with chicken and bacon was the best one I've had. 100% recommend. Honey margarita 10/10. 🍹

Came for Sunday lunch after seeing great reviews but left feeling very disappointed. Food was below par, the beef especially was tasteless and very tough. Toilets were also in a very poor condition. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Excellent service and atmosphere. Friendly staff and all very attentive. Will be back to try the food

I came here for food last week with some friends and can’t recommend this place enough! I ordered the ‘Smokeback Mountain’ Burger and omg it was unbelievable! The manager Craig was very polite and helpful upon arrival, the service from the rest of the staff...

Gorgeous place for drinks with friends 💜

Came with a large group for bottomless brunch. Staff came round every thirty minutes to ask for drinks which meant that for a time limit of two hours you only get four drinks - hardly limited. One staff member with the pink hair did pick up towards the end and make an great effort to improve the service but this was only with a thirty minutes left, too little too late. We also got charged for two people extra but only noticed after leaving which cost over £60. To top it off we were charged a £50 service charge for awful service. Won’t return.

Booked dinner for a date night here on a Sunday as it looked amazing on social media, only to arrive to be told the kitchen was closed. So why when booking dinner, was this not mentioned?! How come we were allowed to book DINNER, WITH...
