Duke of Wellington in Newcastle upon Tyne

I visited with my family for a spot of lunch and we were greeted by the GM Mandy who made us feel extremely welcome, her customer service was outstanding and we found the establishment to be very accommodating. She informed us of recent upcoming events and we had a great chat. Not to mention the food was fabulous, affordable and timely. 10/10 all round; will be returning soon.

Good food and staff are friendly

Great pub, great food and child friendly Staff are great and cheerful

My local a great team and always have lots of live music lately which is a great atmosphere.

Great food lovely pub and staff, really enjoy bingo to.

We just had our wedding afternoon here, and loved it, with special thanks to Mandy and Jackie, while the decore could be better, Jackie was fabulous, worked so so hard, had a fab time, loads of food left over, will definitely be back.

Really enjoy visiting this pub, this pub is the heart of the community thanks for everything you do. Good value food, great staff, Fridays are good with singers. Best local pub

Fantastic family pub. Events for all ages and very welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff defo reccomend wether it’s a family get together, bingo or private function ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Terrible management use to be a brilliant pub

Unreal beef in the bone for Sunday dinner

Food wasn't great. Steak was burnt.

The manager was informed of my poor experience at the pub. Outcome was unsatisfactory and disapointing as I was not informed of anything being done. Unsafe venue and had leaking sinks for weeks not repaired. Service wasn't good and I didn't feel safe due to a couple people that regularly attend the venue. I will never return to this bar again as the experience was so bad.

Dirty place don’t use the toilet it stinks Food is always poor can tell its frozen staff are rude ( manger ) if u wanna caller her that is shocking no skills

j'adore cette ambiance de pub, le nom so british, la façade atypique et la ruelle tellement original, un vrai immersion dans cette culture outre-manchienne!

My last experience at this pub was absolutely abhorrent, however, it does have decent food and a few tvs, and a pool table. Just don't expect good service, and be careful striking up conversation with some of the regulars.

I attended today one of many times I have been and normally great, however today was a bad experience making me not want to return. First I ordered the new tikka sizzler I was told when ordering there was no Tatar Tots but I could have chips that was fine. About 5 mins after ordering I was then informed there was no masala sauce so maybe this item should have been removed from the till at this time. I also ordered a bbq beef rib that is right next to the tikka sizzler on the menu. When the food came it came as a slow cooked rib Sunday dinner when I approached the member of staff that I belive was the manger she informed me I ordered ring and that I pointed and the Sunday dinner however why would I be on a different page when both the meals I wanted were right next to each other. The staff member then argued saying I ordered wrong but said we can change it. Once changed it was brought over with no apology and slammed down! The tikka sizzler chicken meat was dry and well over cooked a very disappointing visit to somewhere we normally go and have a nice meal!

In pub last night to meet up with friends. Music was so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. We all left early because of the noise.

Great dog friendly boozer. Friendly staff, good service and good food.

Absolutely fantastic pub, staff and banter with evertone

Brilliant food steak cooked to perfection but waiting staff are shocking we ordered starters and mains we told them to wait till we where finished our starter before cooking our mains our mains instantly come out the second we said we where done with our starters the jacket potato was freezing and no one come over to ask how our food was we eat our steak left the rest and left. Apart from the waiting staff who openly where saying they didn't want to be there the place is good pub

Great place beer spot on staff are outstanding. Donna especially give it a go. Toilets are clean and on the level.

Love this place! The atmosphere is excellent, the staff are incredibly friendly and Mandy goes above and beyond to make the experience an enjoyable one. Whilst we only had drinks, which are reasonably priced, I was impressed with the quality of food that kept coming out. Will definitely be back!!

Was here over the weekend with the family. Food was excellent and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Family friendly and lots of choice. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely family day out and for dogs don't get much like that in Suffolk thank you.

I went in with my kids during the England match, having food and drinks, everything about the service was fantastic, even though they were extremely busy. Faye made sure that my time was good and my kids were well looked after, the scampi was so good and i thoroughly enjoyed my visit, would come again. Special thanks to Connor and Faye for making my visit good

Went in for dinner the food was warm and the toilets were disgusting the smell was horrendous

Just called in for a drink 🍸 didn't have any food x but lovely pub and lovely outdoor seating area x

Went to the pub to use a Green King burger voucher. The outside was a disgrace with rubbish everywhere- I thought twice about risking the food. Inside it was empty at 6pm - couldn't use the voucher - staff were okay btw. So glad when we walked away - never again will I want to eat in a rubbish tip. Went to the Blsck Bull a clean environment with good food

First time coming to this pub and it was OK. Big towards the back and some outside space and parking which isn't obvious from the front. There isn't table service so go up to the bar to order. The food was OK, a solid burger and chips. I would go back. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A good local pub with no frills or twills.

Went for a meal nice food but group at another table were loud and vulgar swesring and wasn't dealt with by staff

Please please do something about your toilets . They are disgusting and you can smell them in the bar area. Worst ive seen this pub in the 25 years ive drunk here. Bring back Barras.

Lovely pub, nice and quiet when I went. Service was good and nice food, really friendly staff. Only suggestion I have is regarding keeping an eye on the caddies on the tables with the condiments in, I checked a couple of tables to get salt and there was odd cutlery. Would visit again if in the area!

Went for a family gathering for our nieces birthday a table of 8. Service was great, food delicious. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for a great afternoon.

70th Birthday for brother Michael. Excellent service and buffet. Pork pie very tasty. Manager and Staff very helpful and friendly. Thanks a lot

Sunday lunch was excellent did not wait long to get was nice and hot Friendly staff went above and beyond to help will be going back

The staff were very friendly and approachable, especially engaging well with our 2 year old and making her very welcome. The only real negative was when the 2 year old needed a wee and asked her daddy to take her he found the disabled toilet seat was cracked and male toilets weren't very clean and asked me to take her instead.

They changed menu and prices increased.

It boggles my mind that you guys can run this business yet do not know how to replace the battery in your malfunctioning burglar alarm. This alarm has been blaring over and over again for the past several weeks at night. This is truly appalling. Hundreds of people—old and young, and very young, healthy and no so healthy, and very frail—are now denied the essential need to sleep through the night. How dare you!

Called in for a few beers when walking dog,probably the least friendly staff I've encountered for some time, young lady serving could not wait to get rid of us ,granted it was quiet but was made to feel awkward asking to be served, Will most definitely not be returning!

Friendly, faded traditional pub, past its best days but worth a visit for the food and drink offerings.

Booked a table for Sunderland v Newcastle. Table provided was first class, right in front of the big screen. The lady working behind the bar greeted us and explained fully how the day would work with no coffee being served to help keep the flow of drinks going, completely fair. Food ordered on the app and arrived quickly despite the bar being packed. Viewing experience of the match was superb with volume up and all screens in sync so no delays spoiling the game. Top class service from The Duke.

Great pub. Friendly people no pics 😀

Please be warned this establishment claims to be dog friendly, however, IT IS NOT as my husband and I found out to our gross embarrassment when we visited in December 2023, upon entering we were told dogs are only welcome in a small area within the pub itself which is absolutely useless if the establishment is busy, please also be aware that the dog cooked chicken breast was in our opinion quickly three quarters defrosted when served we would not let our dogs eat it for fear of salmonella poisoning.

They were charging a third less than the average Christmas day lunch in Gosforth. It was a well organised day. Our table was ready on arrival - meals pre ordered. Had a drink at our table, then the starters arrived after a few minutes - fantastic Mains came with no rush - so you could savour the happy atmosphere- The mains were sumptuous, well cooked, and pipping hot. Puddings you could die for. Nothing was too much bother for the staff - They were fantastic and attentive Well done to the management

Good food took a while for it to come due to amount of people in

Absolute dump and not even fresh all frozen rubbish U cant serve this up and charge ppl Total disgrace Avoid

What a great family pub this is, I have had day drinks, night drinks, family food and birthdays here upstairs in the function room. Staff go above and beyond to help you with any needs you may have. Big shout out to the manager mandy, and the team for All you do to make this pub a great place to visit, with and without children. 5***** +

The only reason the food got 4 stars instead of 5 is because they had run out of some items and no choice of diet soft drink apart from Pepsi max.

Nice pup ,food ok. I think it was frozen too cook ,it was ok ,nice pub for a drink

Good food at very reasonable prices. Very friendly and helpful staff

Nice place to drink but the meal wasn't the best

The duke of wellington could take some real tips on customer service from other pubs in their franchise. The manager is just rude, has no interest in customer service, the food was really dry and badly cooked, the drinks are over priced £3+ for a coke, it's diabolical given the overall experience. Student discount refused, they choose not to allow it. It's a complete shambles that place I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Good quality, traditional feeling british pub!

Always a fun night in the duke! You never know what drama is going to be going on at certain times of the night but that is just part of the fun of a night out isn't it, so why not get a night out at the duke instead of paying for a taxi to town, it's as much fun but on a budget 👍🏻

Most welcoming place. Staff are very good hosts. Garden area is great. I recommend.

I've raved about this pub to everyone I know to the point I think they find me annoying now 😂 The food is brilliant value for money. Not sure where else you can get a sharer steak with an entire baked camambert to dip and enough chips and waffle fries to feed an army for £25. The flat breads are also lush and so is the bbq sharer. My hubby has also had the burgers there a couple of times and really enjoys them. We always sit outside and the employees are happy to bring our food out to us every time and some of them will even bring our drinks outside of they're not too busy. The outside seating area is huge and it is absolutely lovely. The bar staff are so friendly! I think we have been there at least once a week for the last couple of months. It is a little bit of a treck for us since we don't drive but I will happily take a taxi to spend a few hours in what has become my new favourite pub. Coming from someone who doesn't drink often at all that's saying something, but I am happy to come and spend time in the sun and have a berry punch. Looking forward to seeing you guys again shortly.

Excellent local bar. Good 👍 atmosphere Good menu. Good choice of beers and wine at decent prices. Bar staff very efficient. All in all a good 👍 bar

Fantastic food friendly efficient service lovely atmosphere cant fault it

Excellent service, especially from Connor who was polite, friendly and would do anything for us and attended to our every need. Food was excellent.

The pub looks nice. Large carpark. Large beer garden, however, could not sit there as you havent got a smoke free zone. The flagged area could and under the gazebo could be nonsmoking but not. Several fag dumps and plants that are dying. My dog ate a tab dump. Need to water your plants. I will return when your outside caters for families and non smoking people. Also your toilets are terrible!

Really good place for a good day/night out

Great local pub, good food, beer and friendly staff. Now with an awesome outdoor space and sports bar.

I like the pub. But I find it hard to enjoy my time when I call in. It's very hard to get a conversation with bar staff or management. But that's Green King for you Not the best customer friendly company out there. ( I bet they ain't struggling as much as there management)..

Called in at the weekend for the first time in many many years, and the first things that hits you is the smell, we found and table and got drinks the oh so friendly staff (not) it was if they were doing us favour. Unfortunately we had to go to the toilet, one word, "rancid" the whole place needs to be deep cleaned, never would I go back or advise anyone to go

Staff were friendly but food was poor quality, lacking quantity and overpriced for what you got. Pub food can either be good quality, cheap, or decent quantity. If you do none of these then it simply isn't worth it. Drinks were also on the more expensive side. Toilets were in a poor state (even for a pub), badly in need of tlc and a deep clean. Don't think we'll be returning which is a shame as this could be our local.

Nice to land somewhere close to home, spent years living in gosforth, real good day people,big thumbs-up!

This place stank !! Tables sticky and dirty !! Staff running around so possibly u derstaffed for the size of the place ..won't return

Lovely food. Just as we asked for it. Had to wait but didn't expect more on mother's day. I can't eat cream so said no cream on apple pie. Wasn't expecting extra apple. It filled dish. We All enjoyed the food + drinks. Will go again.

Visited a few times last year and I always had a good experience. A family friendly bar with a great menu with decent vegetarian options, a massive beer garden, good varied selection of lagers on draft, pool table and many TV's for the football. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was decent without being good/great. Oven chips always disappoint. Large beer garden and car park.

It's a canny place, great parking, a nice place to sit outside and it's bigger than you think inside. Beer selection is uninspired and the hand pull was flat suggesting oxidised beer or dirty lines. If there's a next time it will be something off the shelf and a mixer or something out the fridge

Very reasonably priced,delicious meals. The biggest steak and ale pie I've had in a pub. Staff couldn't do enough for us. First visit but definitely not the last. I went back the following Saturday and had the nicest pub fish and chips ever. Really good quality fish and loads of mushy peas.

My last review was 2 stars a few years ago. Today I've updated this to 4 stars. Food was good for the price. Outside beer garden was canny and friendly staff. I also liked the app to order food. You just need to sort the toilets out.

Staff were really rude and moody says it’s a kid friendly pub whilst my kids were playing round they kept complaining to us about them! Staff always staring at my 16 year old daughter having a drink with her meal as if we were bad parents!

Decent local pub, we've always enjoyed going there, tasty food at a fair price and helpful staff.

Went today with my husband and son for dinner, tried to order 2 16oz steaks but was told they only have the 9oz steaks which is fair enough if they have ran out. I ordered the 9oz steak with the hunters topper and asked for it cooked medium well, I also asked for it to be on a plate instead of a sizzler and completely plain, no tomato or anything else with it. Husband also wanted his on a plate and also cooked medium well. When the food came they were both on the sizzler plates with a tomato and loads of onions underneath the steaks. The steaks were no where close to being medium well and were very chargrilled and actually burnt on the edges. No one came back to ask if everything was OK with our food like in most places. It wasn't busy either so no excuse to not look after your customers. My husband actually said when he came back from ordering i don't think she was listening so God knows what we're gonna get. Very disappointed. I didn't send the food back as I thought if they can't get a simple steak and chips order correct the first time then they have no chance a second time. After scraping all the onions off we did eat the food but it wasn't the best as it was quite burnt. We ordered desserts and I asked for chocolate cake with custard, it came on a plate, which I find very strange. Custard is particularly difficult to eat from a plate!! I have been to lots of Greene King pubs for food but definitely will not be coming back to this one!

Had a lovely time at the Duke of Wellington. There was a lovely server called Taylah as she asked me to type it as. She was a hard worker, cleaning tables and serving food and very friendly to my table. All of the staff were great but I wanted to pass my regards onto this girl. We look forward to the next time we visit here.

Food was OK, we went during lunch so was quiet, tables needed a clean but only had 1 staff member behind bar so that may have been a factor.

Had tea here yesterday, would recommend the chick and mix as there is a good variety to choose from and being able to take my pooch with me is amazing, she also had a little bit aswell 😋. The meals were delicious and staff really friendly I would highly recommend xx

Great service amazing staff Connor and Freya both very welcoming and friendly their little helper daisy was great entertainment too

I had my Grand Daughters 5th birthday party in the upstairs function room at The Duke last weekend. The room looked fabulous with a fantastic balloon arch on the stage as well as balloon features on the tables. We booked an entertainer( Sound Vision Discos ) who as well as being very reasonably priced was fantastic with the kids as well as the adults,getting everyone involved. The food we ordered was also fab, everything the kids liked e;g; chicken nuggets,sausages,pizzas and chips. Would like to say a big Thank You to Mandy and her team especially Jackie for making it a day to remember for all the kids and adults alike

lovely food,brilliant staff. especially manager guy called Keith. I think he is the manager. lol Definitely manager material 🤣 great atmosphere. dog friendly, live sports on.very clean, outdoor seating for smokers. good pricing , they put advents on. they do alot of stuff here . wish it was closer. starting to come here on a Sunday as me and partner work so can't do any other days especially with it not being around the corner from us. but definitely recommend this great place. we love coming here. the meals are spot on so are the kids meals. nothing is a bother. to them. 👌

We went to the Duke of Wellington on Sunday with my grandchildren the staff were very good and helpful food spot on

Odd place... Felt very "cliquey"

Great pub with an amazing beer garden. Nice food and really good price. 100% recommended

I’ve just been here today for the kids New Year’s Eve party. I can honestly say you cannot fault the place or the staff. They were all brilliant. Kids had a blast 😁 I would also like to make a personal comment about Mandy the manager. You can tell instantly the kids love her and she genuinely loves them back. This shows and is an amazing quality to have. Huge thank to you, your staff, DJ & everyone involved for making it such a fun day for the kids. Wish you all huge success and happiness for 2023 🥳

Loved it. Warm and nice. Easy access, easy app to order from. Nice staff.

A great place for a family meal. The do awesome sizzling mixed grills, huge tv for sports, a large outdoor seating and even have a dart board and pool table too!

Another fantastic meal, really welcoming and friendly, sorry we missed you today many hope to see you next time, Donna Trevor and John james

I have been visiting the Duke regularly for the past 3.5 years, but for the past 6-8 months there is something really off with the lager. The Carling is always flat and sweet tasting so we moved to a different lager, usually Stella. But on our last visit that was not right either so we tried the peroni and again it just wasn't right. I'm not sure what has happened but I don't think we will be able to go anymore as at 9.10 for 2 drinks when they're not nice is disappointing.

Great pub, friendly staff, fantastic menu and range of beers. Food was served promptly and was delicious. Would certainly recommend.

Great pub. Multiple TV screens, Large outside space, good range of food and drink. What's not to like.

Been to taster session every thing I tried was beautiful can’t wait for this menu to start cherry cola boneless wings to die for

Been to taster session tonight at duke of Wellington steak was very tender Nd tacos were lovely the sour cherry cola chicken was delicious defo be ordering this when new menu starts

Excellent food, delivered in great times, our favourite place to eat for a date night.

The food was absolutely lovely with good sized portions and prices, the staff were also extremely polite and watching football with our meal was also an enjoyable experience.

Xl large mixed grill was amazing , well worth the price, finished off with sticky toffee and date pudding, greatly priced and staff are amazing, definitely will return

Lovely food and the staff are great would recommend to anyone

Moved to the area and went to this pub several times as its close to my house. Every meal I’ve had was left uneaten as the food is just vile. I’ve tried the chicken tikka, Hunter’s chicken, toastie things, and burgers, and all were disgusting, Chef is clearly unqualified. Kept returning because its the only pub nearby, hoping the food would get better. Utterly disappointed. Drinks are same as everywhere but quite expensive. Decor is high quality however, despite having a christmas tree up in August (why?)

Had a lovely time here for bonkers bingo, host was great, tunes were great, both Mandy and the other woman upstairs were lovely and kept us topped up on shots. Super enjoyable experience. Credit to all the team keeping the place clean all night too, looked amazing.
