Dobson and Parnell in Newcastle upon Tyne

We had a lovely meal here. Couldn't fault anything. Food was delicious and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Wouldn't hesitate to come back. Deserves all 5 stars

Found this restaurant with really good reviews on internet and decided to give it a try. The place has a lovely modern atmosphere and loved the lighting design on the place with a bunch of floating bulbs. We when on the 28 of December so they were serving the Christmas set menu. I look for the description on the page but was not available any more. Both of the started we chose where quite good the beef tartar 10/10. For the next course I got the duck Wellington, it was really disappointed by a raw chewy duck. after sending the dish back I was corner to order the fish dish since “it was the faster to be prepared” with a curry sauce, nothing especial. For the service after I send the dish back (that I did in the must respectful manner) change so much, it looked like they didn’t wanna to come back to us and the restaurant was probably at half capacity. There was one young waiter with a nice attitude that I’ll aplaude his service. Maybe the tiredness of the end of the season didn’t help. I’ll come back to try the a la cart menu.

Me and my girlfriend visited in October for my 30th birthday. Immediately the level of customer service we received on arrival was 10/10 and continued throughout the whole time we were there, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere matched it. The guy who was looking after us was a credit to the restaurant and even made me a complimentary cocktail as it was my birthday. A beautiful place I can't wait to visit again.

Christmas dinner, again! Tried it last year & enjoyed it so much, we returned this year. The food is always beautifully prepared & tastes fabulous. Relaxed & friendly atmosphere with timely, unobtrusive service. The allergy matrix is incredibly helpful & inspires confidence that additional needs will be met.

Delicious restaurant in a quiet and quaint location, I cannot recommend the wine pairings enough. I had the Christmas set menu with the pate to start, duck wellington as my main, and cheese platter to finish. The pate was delicious and came with a single wafer for the whole plate The duck wellington was cooked perfectly, the veggies were good, I just wish there was a bit more gravy As a cheese fan I must say the cheese platter was a let down, the presentation shoddy and the selections were not worth the money The service was good but nothing crazy, they were attentive and kind Overall for the set menu and pairings I spent ~£87 which included the service fee, I would absolutely recommend

Dobson and Parnell is a consistently good restaurant, based on my experiences. We had a Sunday booking and enjoyed the Christmas-themed menu. It's a restaurant that I will happily visit again.

This was our first visit and unfortunately, we won’t be rushing back unless there was a good reason to go. The venue lack any ambience and we also expected the service to be better. It wasn’t bad service, it was more the inexperience and this isn’t reflected in the price. We both also thought that the portion sizes were too small. The Sunday roast was far below the standards of Blackfriars. For me, the Yorkshire pudding was great, the cheesy leeks were fine but the rest of my roast beef was below standard. Unfortunately, we were expecting something similar to Blackfriars and St Vincent in terms of surroundings and service, but both were disappointing in comparison.

Absolutely superb food! Me and my wife have come here three times and each time has not disappointed! We had the Christmas 3-course set menu. Across the board, we could not fault the food or service. A very special place.

Xmas work party tonight was amazing , Thank you so much and Especially Henry , That Lad knows his stuff and nothing was too much for him .

We visited this restaurant as a group of 5 after a Christmas shopping trip. We were welcomed and seated by a lovely lady who took our coats and bags. We opted for the 3 course Christmas menu and received fizz when we were seated. The food was outstanding and the service off a young guy called Henry was fabulous !!! He went beyond his means to make our experience exceptional. Excellent food and service, we will return. Thank you Henry !!!

Hard to give it more than a 3. Service good. 10% added into the bill. Had rump steak because nothing else on the menu lookee that appealing. Apparently the fish is good and I think that might allow for 4/5. I think there is better very near by at a similar price point. Unfortunately, there is nothing to rush back for.

Restaurant was warm and welcoming on a cold day 3 courses for £29 plus a deserved 10% service charge was good value, with plenty of variety, and a nice degree of care and attention to detail in each dish

The level of customer service at this establishment was truly unparalleled. Each member of the team exuded genuine warmth and attentiveness, ensuring an exceptional experience. Even as we lingered until closing time, we never felt hurried—quite the opposite, in fact. Every dish we sampled was a culinary triumph, but the charred onions were simply sublime—a delightful blend of flavors that left a lasting impression. This restaurant seamlessly combines impeccable hospitality with gastronomic excellence, setting a gold standard for fine dining. Highly recommended!

El almuerzo del domingo por un cumpleaños y fue un poco de una decepción. Comida no servida caliente, tibia asado de domingo no es genial! Veo que otras críticas mencionan el mismo problema con las comidas, no se sirve caliente. El pudín Yorkshire estaba frío como piedra, las verduras demasiado cocidas y las patatas asadas no eran agradables. Solicité carne rosa y se sirvió gris. Realmente esperaba mucho mejor!

Tenía un cupón de exp virgen así que lo puse para una comida de tres platos con fizz para 2 en dobson parnell. Reservado en IG ya que tenía 0 respuesta por teléfono y correo electrónico. Llegué a los 12 y todo muy bueno, nunca he estado antes así que no sabía qué esperar. Tomaron nuestros abrigos y nos llevaron a nuestra mesa. Explicó el menú, abrió el fizz y tomó nuestros pedidos. La comida que pedimos (ver imágenes) era delicioso, seriamente impresionado. Realmente sabroso, nunca había probado nada igual antes. Puedes ver por qué es digno de Michelin. También me gusta el suspiro del restaurante. El personal es muy atento.

I had a virgin exp voucher so i put it towards a three course meal with fizz for 2 at dobson parnell. Booked on IG as I had 0 reply on phone and email. Arrived at 12 and all really good, never been before so did not know what to expect. They took our coats and took us to our table. Explained the menu, opened the fizz and took our orders. The food we ordered (see images) was delicious, seriously impressed. Really tasty, had never tasted anything like it before. You can see why it is michelin worthy. I also like the desighn of the resturant too. Staff are really attentive.

My wife is coeliac so we went here as they had numerous choices for gluten free. The food and service were excellent. We have been before but it was a while ago but we’ll definitely revisit soon. Highly recommended.

Wow! This place fully deserves all the awards it has received. We had a late Friday evening booking (9.30pm) so it was quieter than earlier in the evening but the whole experience was fantastic! Very friendly service, unbelievably delicious food, great selection of wines, beers and cocktails. The menu was really varied and it was hard not to order every starter, main and dessert. Very good value for what we enjoyed - if this restaurant was in London the prices would have been double! All this capped off by the small excellent touch that they have heating for stored coats so you literally leave with a warm glow! Highly, highly recommended and congratulations to the whole D&P team!

Lovely food, good service, pleasant environment. Family of 8 all had a great time.

Been meaning to go to D&P for years, big reputation to live up to. We had a voucher from our daughter, two three course lunches. We had fish cakes & rosoto with haddock to start - both excellent and decent portions. Mains were chicken and my wife fish - again fantastic. It's probably worth ordering a side or two as portions are not large but adequate. Sweets, plumbing pudding & a fresh tart - We were full but had to eat as so good. Wine & drinks reasonable prices & staff very, very good.

Good quality and reasonably priced friendly service

Good food and good position in Newcastle. Ambience and service was very good. Only one criticism - my wife ordered the vegetable wellington and once our starters were finished and removed, were we told that we would have to wait 20 mins for the wellington. If we had been told this at the start whne we ordered, the two options would be to choose another main course or understand we would have to wait - in the circumstances, she would have still ordered the same. Otherwise a good experience

Great food and service with great surroundings, whats not to love. The sticky toffee pudding was divine, staff were friendly and attentive.

Lovely service really enjoyed my dinner. Although parking was an issue .

We had a 3 course Sunday dinner. Not the greatest, but also not the worst we have had. Location was OK. Service slightly slow, but we weren't in a hurry

Just had Sunday lunch. Perfect portion size and the service was excellent

Lovely restaurant with great service and food

Excellent food and brilliant service, highly recommended.

Fantastic Quayside eatery serving contemporary food in a relaxed setting. Beautiful dining room designed by the restaurant namesakes. Great choice of delicious starters, main and desserts. Friendly and efficient service and laid back atmosphere. The quality, presentation and menu choices were all superb. Check the website for promotions, fixed price menus and offers - we took advantage of restaurant week and cocktails and were not disappointed. Would definitely recommend.

Very disappointing. Despite the description on the menu sadly it didn't deliver on the plate. The smoked salmon starter was nicely presented but glad I wasn't paying the a la carts price for what was salmon, lemon dressing & 4 minuscule drops of mayo. The fresh dill was nice. My friend had the ham hock is still looking for the salad. Main course bread coated buttermilk chicken. Expected breast 3 chicken thighs a bit greasy one of which tasted strange. Coleslaw soggy could buy better at supermarket. Too much mayo. Pickled cucumber ok. but not very exciting. Extra for potatoes or chips. No other veg choice. Chocolate mousse with cherry & honeycomb best of the bunch. I had the pleasure of eating at Raby castle the following day now they make a coleslaw to die for. 1 small glass of wine & 1 cider. At over £90 Inc service charge in restaurant week shame on you.

Our third visit and did not disappoint lovely food great atmosphere and staff

Visited tonight for our 60th birthday. First day of new menu. Great welcome by the staff. Great selection of food and drinks. Halibut was very tasty. Compliments to the chef and the staff. Would definitely recommended a visit here.

We went for our anniversary meal last night and opted for the Gourmet meal for 2 experience which included the following: - Two cocktails on arrival - Two snacks - A 3-course à la carte meal for two guests - Two sides - A bottle of house wine - A cheese board. Firstly, the restaurant itself is lovely with a really nice atmosphere and tasteful decoration. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Now onto the food - it was amazing and truly exceeded our expectations. We found it challenging to consume everything on offer, not due to the taste but simply because there was so much to enjoy. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for providing us with a great night, and the anniversary card waiting for us on the table was a lovely touch.

Food was great, wine was excellent and service was faultless.

I was sorry to read some recent poor reviews. We have been coming here regularly over the last couple or so years and have never had a bad experience. From the point of booking/email contact, everyone involved with this restaurant is warm, friendly and professional. The food is, in my opinion, consistently excellent. Some things may not be to my taste but that's realistic and plenty of things are! We usually order from the set menu as value for money is important, and have yet to leave hungry. Staff go above and beyond to check you are having the best possible experience without ever being intrusive. Our favourite restaurants over the years are not the most expensive or in possession of numerous michelin stars, but share what Dobson and Parnell do so well; serving really good food in a relaxed atmosphere where for a couple of hours, you feel pretty special.

I visited Dobson and Parnell for a Saturday lunch. The men in the group ordered a lager, but sadly there was only pale ale available. Never mind, they chose something else. Then it was onto deciding what to eat! The main courses on the set menu didn't really appeal to any of us, so a la carte it was - which was fine, we wanted to have a nice time, and if that meant paying a bit more then that was cool. For the starter I had ricotta and bean salad, which was lovely but the portion was tiny! Then the main course arrived. I went for the halibut, which again was nice enough but SO SMALL. The pavlova was the only decent sized dish. In my opinion the portions were taster menu size, but with only three courses we left there pretty hungry. Maybe if it had been a bit cheaper or I'd been able to find something decent on the set menu, I wouldn't have batted an eyelid, but £27.50 for a tiny bit of fish?! It just wasn't worth it. Wine was nice, lol.

Fabulous meal here on Friday, service was outstanding, food was delicious. Would highly recommend! I had the Beetroot starter, Chicken main and Chocolate dessert.

My partner and I visited after missing tickets for the Bite Back food festival, but ended up being really pleased that we did. The food was delicious and well balanced, and all paired beautifully with the staff's suggestion. It was a wonderful meal, and had a wonderfully casual feel to such a fine dining place.

Superb restaurant where the food and service are exceptional and not expensive. They pay very careful attention to allergies. I have a severe shell fish allergy and are g.f.. I am totally at ease eating here. The wait staff are charming, attentive and knowledgeable. Every mouthful of our meals were fantastic. Highly recommend.

An absolutely lovely lunch! The service was really friendly and the food was great. Really good value set menu considering the quality of produce and presentation. Will definitely return.

After regularly going out most Sunday's and trying Sunday dinners all over the north east, sadly this was the worst one we had! We were so looking forward to going here for food, of course with it being Michelin guide! My partner and I had been to Blackfriars for Sunday dinner and considering this is a partner restaurant, the two could not have been any more different. (Blackfriars Sunday dinner being lovely) The staff at Dobson and Parnell are super friendly and attentive. The Sunday dinner we had was honestly the worst, and we could not wait to leave sadly!! Sorry! The beef was burnt, and had charcoal all over it. The gravy had no taste and was watery, the carrots again, no taste - the veg awful. The potatoes were genuinely so dry and hard to cut, and the cheesy leeks, I have never tasted something so poor before- just the strongest overpowering taste. I do not know really where to begin with the whole meal as it was incredibly bland, and for a Michelin Guide- no wow at all. A poorly homemade Sunday dinner would have beaten this by far. Sadly this is not somewhere we will visit again, and we have even held of retuning to Blackfriars again due to this.

Fresh zinging flavours in crab starter with mint chutney, Home made bread hot out of the oven, Traditional and perfectly tender roast beef with all the trimmings. Picturesque location and comfortable airy room. Highly recommended and will be going back.

Visited early evening on a Friday and we were the only people in. The food was tasty but very small portions, we ate off the set menu, stupidly didn’t inspect the bill, I can only think the 2 glasses of wine must have been astronomical or there was a huge service charge or they made an error? Very expensive, won’t visit again

The food was nice but there was little difference between the a la carte menu and the set menu. The food portions were absolutely tiny, which suited the older members of our party but not the younger people. An enjoyable evening but I’d suggest that most people have a sandwich before they go.

Always exceptional service. Best staff in Newcastle. Knowledgeable and thoughtful. I love it here

Excellent overall. We each had 3 courses from the set menu plus the matching wines, which were all great. Food was top notch, service was nice and attentive without being bothersome, and I’d say it was good value too considering the amount we ate and drank, and the quality.

Really amazing food at a decent price. Great service too

We went for dinner on a Saturday evening and were disappointed that their top three dishes were unavailable, the starter and two mains we wanted to order originally. They explained they had had a busy day but they were at half capacity at 8pm. Not sure if this happens often or it was a one time thing but we were rather disappointed nonetheless. The food was nice but nothing exceptional. I had the fried coley with oyster hollandaise and it was well cooked but I couldn’t really taste the oyster in the hollandaise. I had the bao bun as a starter and the bun itself was quite dense, not light and puffy as it should be. I don’t think we will go back

The best I could say was the food was edible. £25.50 for a piece of hake with uncooked skin. The triple cooked fries weren’t cooked even once

We were warmly welcomed by Will our waiter for what turned out to be a most enjoyable evening. Firstly, Will asked for our drinks order and I was curious about an orange wine that was on the menu. He enthused greatly over the taste and style of the wine and even offered us a small sample to taste. It wasn’t to my palate so we chose something else but Will never put us under any pressure. We both chose our starters and mains, being the kimchi pancake and pigeon with black pudding to start followed by the scallops with tempura roe and the breaded sole. Each dish was presented beautifully and delivered with a sense of pride. Each element was fresh, cooked to perfection and tasted every bit as good as it looked. Dessert was a rhubarb and ginger bakewell and I plumbed for a small cheese board both of which were delicious. Overall, we had a superb evening in a relaxed and friendly environment made all the better by Will our polite and knowledgeable waiter. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends who are visiting Newcastle soon.

Loved the new A La Carte menu, started with delicious 'snacks' and cocktails followed by the most amazing pigeon starter and Pork main course- Wine paring was excellent and the service outstanding! Luke and Angela were exceptional- perfectly timed every course! Knowledgeable and attentive. My shell fish allergy was considered throughout the meal, with an allergy matrix provided and all dishes were flagged for service- All staff went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience, which we did and will defiantly be back!

Excellent service and people, really caring and attentive! We were not that amazed with food and the quality of it, plus overall atmosphere. I would suggest coming back for a glass of wine though

Five of us visited for a birthday celebration, the decor is lovely with a nice welcoming ambience too. We had one person who was vegetarian and gluten free and they were able to choose a dish from each course from the set menu - most unusual that they have this opportunity! The fish options were also delicious. Childrens menu was well balanced between predictable (in a good way) options and also incorporated some of the main menu options too. The chips were absolutely outstanding. Mocktails were well received by the children! The staff were helpful and very accommodating for dietary requirements. Clearly labelled vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options on the menus, with no compromise on taste or presentation. Gluten free dishes were clearly marked at the table, and a clear & complete allergen chart readily available. It's a hidden gem of a restaurant and actually very reasonably priced considering the quality, presentation and taste of dishes.

First time visit with our two boy's (age 10 & 5 yrs) . The boys were made to feel very welcome by the staff. The children's menu was just right for the target audience and not too fussy. The beef sirloin Sunday roast was plentiful, very nicely cooked with a good portion of vegetable. Topped off with a couple of great cocktails, it was a great place to celebrate Mother's Day.

My bf and I had been recommended this place and gave the Saturday lunch menu a try. It really did not disappoint. Food was delicious! The waiter was incredible too, he knew when to be attentive and when to leave us to it, even delaying our next course because we were chatting and had ordered extra wine. He really went thr extra mile. Plus the bonus is they serve my fave wine, method cap classique from SA, never found before in Newcastle, so an extra treat.

Finally got to visit and was not disappointed. Unique and stylish decor creating a relaxing informal environment. From the moment we stepped through the door the staff were very attentive without being intrusive. Not the cheapest restaurant you might visit but well worth it in our opinion. The food was excellent, I particularly enjoyed the steak served with ox cheek bites, not something I would ordinarily order but the ox beautifully complimented the steak. Highly recommended.

It’s ages since I’ve been to Dobson and Parnell and it did not disappoint. The decor inside is sleek and the service is excellent. Attentive staff that also don’t hover too long. Food was absolutely delicious. We ate from the set menu. I recommend the chicken and the cheese board. Cocktails were also fresh and zingy. Thank you. We will be back.

My niece and her husband were visiting from Worcester. In the past when they visited, they always wish to dine at Dobson And Parnell and this time was no exception. The restaurant is elegant and the staff are real professionals. One of our party has a background in the wine business and was very pleased to be able to discuss choice of wine with a staff member who proved knowledgeable and helpful. It was also pleasing that two of the party wanted halibut, but didn’t want the accompanying mussels. this wish was conveyed to the chef who revamped the dish exactly to our satisfaction. The party was equally satisfied with starter and dessert, and the accompanying wines. I return again again to Dobson And Parnell, and have never had an experience, which didn’t live up to expectation I can thoroughly recommend the ambience staff, food and drink

One of my favourite places in Newcastle for a special occasion meal, the prices are more than fair for the quality of the meal and the Sunday dinners are incredible, love the atmosphere too. The vegetarian options are always good too and it's nice that on Sundays there's more options than just a dinner if you're not in the mood for one

We chose from the set lunch menu. I think that you will probably need to order 'sides' to go with the main courses, so please factor that into the cost. Staters were good; main courses OK; we did not have dessert. Nice place, but slightly underwhelmed by the food. May be better to go a la carte.

===Outstanding Family Dining Experience at Dobson & Parnell=== I visited Dobson & Parnell in Newcastle on the 27th of January with my wife and our 20-month-old boy. The visit was fantastic from start to finish. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us all feel welcome, including our little one, which isn’t always the case in restaurants. This place stands out for its inclusivity. The food was top-notch. Every dish was delicious, with clear attention to quality and taste. I highly recommend Dobson & Parnell to anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere in Newcastle. It’s a solid 5-star experience.

Wonderful restaurant - food was delicious and well presented, staff were attentive without intruding, lovely atmosphere and a great location. The experience was made all the better as it had been booked by my son to celebrate his birthday - only he got the dates mixed up and as we were about to enter the establishment, he realised that we were a whole week early! The staff were excellent and shuffled a couple of tables about to accommodate us regardless (many thanks to you all). Super selection (scallop starter and halibut main course were amazing!) The wine list covers all bases. can't recommend this place enough! As a family we have eaten at a number of the best restaurants in Newcastle and this is right up there near the top of this list! Looking forward to returning (hopefully on the right date)!

We were given a voucher for my Partners 60th. The meal was really nice, however we were only allowed to book from a certain menu and it happened to be restaurant week. It was still beautiful food. Highly recommend.

We opted for the set menu at £32 for three courses. All three were delightful. The parsnip pakoras were crisp, served on a bed of spicy green chutney. The main roast chicken was wonderfully tender and the side of maple syrup and miso roasted root vegetables was very moreish. The pistachio and blood orange sponge nicely rounded off the meal. Cocktails at £15 for two went down well. The waiting staff were attentive and friendly during the whole evening. We went for the early sitting and the restaurant was half full but it was filling up by the time we left.

Fine building and restaurant room.Excellent welcome and Oh Joy, BYOB on Wednesday. The charming Polish manageress opened served and ice bucketed our wine very kindly. The trouble was the food! The kitchen was missing a talented chef last night, and the room was heaving. My cauliflower soup was tasteless with strange pickles scattered in, I left it. My duck leg was large but salty and served with chili and charred cauliflower. Husbands halibut and starter of trout was OK, but the triple cooked chips were white with undercooking and were taken off the bill. Service was friendly but we won’t be returning. Strange cooking from a restaurant with many past accolades.

I'm my opinion.. the best restaurant in Newcastle.

Busy because it was Restaurant Week but the service was cheerful and efficient and the atmosphere buzzing. The food was superb, the menu offered a good choice and the wine pairing was explained fully and was delicious. Highly recommended for delicious food.

Dined on Saturday night for the first time and could not have been more impressed. Food was delicious, cocktails were fun, wine was lovely. We were with out toddler and the staff were so generous, kind, and accomodating. Our waitperson, Demi, was wonderful and we had such a romantic evening even with toddler in tow. Would definitely recommend.

Restaurant week , Great staff attentive and proffesional , however the service was way to quick, starter was ok but thats it , main was served and we were told "whatch because the plates are hot" pitty about the luke warm chicken dish ,the chicken was tender but bland with some cabbage slaw that was not to my taste , the Chips were great , but then again i suppose they would be at around 23 pence each . And to top it off £10 for a medium wine ...lol , never again

The quality of food is undeniable. The chicken was cooked to perfection, almost melting in my mouth, same for the cod. Liked the soup and enjoyed the chocolate dessert. However, I have to say that for the amount of money we paid I would expect a bit better taste wise. Portions were a bit on the small side (we went during Restaurant Week) and nothing really stood out. We sat close to the window and there was a strong light coming towards us which affected negatively the already bright ambiance. Service was exceptional and our waiter was always friendly, approachable and smiling. With that being said, if you like simple british cuisine that's well cooked this might be the place for you.

The food was unbelievably good and the service was fantastic. Especially loved the smoked trout starter and dark chocolate cremeux. The drinks were really good as well, especially the lemon fizz whizz cocktail, tasted like lemon sherbet and was so refreshing.

Simply middle of the road for food and like nearly all places on the quayside bottles of wine are way overpriced!!!!

Let's be honest. The food was nice both my plates tasted the same tho. Not inspired food. Really expensive if this was 15-20 a plate fair play but it's not. So I'm just wondering what you get that is worth the extra here. Well I can tell you one plus the service is some of the best IV had in Newcastle spot on every member of staff. And they were all happy staff. Not bad but not worth the money. Menu cooking style is very 90s early 2000s. Flair over flavour

Fantastic experience here on Saturday 30th December. The restaurant wasn’t busy a we ate mid afternoon but the atmosphere was still great. All of our food was too notch and the staff were fantastic.

We had the set menu, not much cheaper than choosing dishes individually. Portions are quite small and basic and food could have more flavour. Game pie was ok, but crust could be baked more. Not value for money. Would recommend the cocktails and they did...

Upon arriving (we were about 20 minutes early) we were told that our table was not ready yet, we asked if we could wait at the bar with a drink and was told no, apparently the bar is service only and we should leave and...

We loved our Sunday lunch at Dobson & Parnell! Fantastic meal and exemplary service from all of the super friendly staff Thoroughly recommended.

It was my first time dining at Dobson & Parnell tonight. From start to finish it was lovely, the service was outstanding, the food was so lovely and the wine superb. I would highly recommend!

Booked for 6pm, 5 course tasting menu and was very disappointed in both flavour and speed of service. Within 30 minutes we were 4 courses in, and that was after asking them to slow down. Infact, the first course came before we’d had a drink...

Great food at affordable prices

Christmas event and staff managed well with a large party. Will return in the New Year x

Food is to die for on the christmas taster menu for 2023!! The sweetest staff giving me a lovely glass of Prosecco and a birthday card which I wasn’t expecting at all. I feel very humbled with such generosity as I have never had that before ever. Staff went above and beyond with the service and I know for sure I will be back

Had a reunion lunch with ex colleagues for an early Christmas treat. Weren't disappointed. The place was busy throughout our stay. Food was excellent and the service attentive and welcoming. They were happy to rejig their planned table bookings to let us stay longer for...

Out of this world! The food is just spectacular! Very reasonably priced for a tasting menu, and worth every penny. The staff are so attentive and friendly. The sommelier is very knowledgeable. Amazing night out.

We visited recently for a family meal and had the 7 course tasting menu. Overall the food was beautiful, lovely wine pairing with friendly service. The only critique is that service was quite slow, the menu advised 2.5 to 3 hours for the tasting menu...

Firstly, friendly and professional staff are to be commended. Starters were good however Sunday roast disappointing. Pork consisted of two very finely sliced tiny pieces of loin, two tiny carrots, tablespoon of red cabbage and the same of creamy leeks with two roast potatoes which...

Amazing food and impeccable service

We booked a table of 4 and mentioned it was our friend birthday, it was a lovely touch to have a card on the table when we arrived. Friendly service, though quite light touch for this calibre of restaurant. Food and wine were fantastic, cocktails...

Last time we came here I had the best Sunday roast I've ever had, and this time didn't disappoint! Unlike too many other Sunday lunch offerings, where everything is a generic sideshow to the meat, here every element is given the same thought and care as the perfectly pink, succulent beef itself; light, fluffy Yorkshires, maple glazed carrots, luxuriously creamy leeks, herb roasted spuds. The starters and desserts are unpretentious but equally delicious. The staff are brilliant - relaxed but professional and completely knowledgeable of the menu and their excellent wines. Awesome city that it is, Dobson & Parnell has become our main reason for visiting Newcastle, and without doubt will be our first booking next time we visit. And, by the way, outstanding value.

One of the best meal had for an long time,keep up the good standard.

After my experience yesterday, I cannot begin to fathom how this restaurant has managed to maintain its place on the Michelin guide. Firstly, the server informed us that they had run out of beef. On an already limited Sunday lunch menu, this seems like sheer...

The restaurant is in the Michelin guide, is set in a nice room with excellent service. The restaurant was quite busy so may need to be booked for a weekend dinner We tried the 5 course tasting menu and whilst there is a wine pairing option, we selected a bottle of wine from the wine list. All of the courses were tasty, to a good standard and well presented. One duck dish was not to my taste but there was no issue with the cooking of it. All in all, a nice experience and a nice night out. Recommended.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Great sized portions. Delicious flavours. Exemplary service. Huge recommendation. 😍

An amazing Sunday lunch. Generous portions, delicious flavours. Exemplary service catering for allergies and diets. Cannot recommend highly enough. Will definitely be back.

Yet again, amazing food, service and ambiance. 5 starts doesn't do this restaurant justice.

Started well, nice wine, friendly table service. Starters were good although they had ran out of the beetroot at 2,15pm? Main meal,Sunday roast, one pork one beef, okay, gravy was like water, one carrot, peas? Meat was okay as was Yorkshire pudding but overall a...

I came for Sunday lunch with my partner. The staff were very friendly however it did take a long time for orders to be taken. The restaurant appeared to be fairly full but they did seem to have adequate staff working so I’m not sure...
