Ellison's Of Low Fell in Gateshead

The go-to place for breakfast/brunch. I’ve been countless no of times and it’s always superb 😍🔥

One of the best coffees around and the triple egg Benedict was absolutely incredible! Not the first time here and defiantly won’t be the last time food is incredible and service was spot on as always

Great local restaurant. Lovely food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed a lovely birthday brunch here with my brother. We got the full English (with black pudding), the truffled wild mushrooms (with a hash brown), and the Ellison's Hash. All of them were delicious. Highly recommend!

Totally let down on my 2nd visit to Ellisons, it took 10 mins to get waiter over to ask if id like water or coffee, then another 25 minutes to ask what we would like to order , then 35 minutes to bring a over rated and cold full English breakfast with no black pudding as you have to pay more for that , a full English means everything, they must be foreign so fair enough but waiting time was a disaster, not coming back to get stung like that again. Nice on pictures and instagram for the brainwashed, not all its made out to be

First time in here first 🥇 class food out of this world 🌍 fresh locally bought in for breakfast/Brunch booked 📚 table for two 10.45 am arrived 10.35am shown upstairs straight away offered jug of water 💦 two glasses atmosphere very good busy will be going back if you are going to visit I would book 📚 to be safe making sure you can get a seat 🪑 fantastic place respect to the Cooks 🤝🫶🙏.

I absolutely loved this place! The menu offers a great variety, including gluten-free options. The coffee was wonderfully aromatic and beautifully presented, while the food was fresh and of high quality. The service was flawless. I stumbled upon this spot by accident, but it turned out to be the best mistake of the year. I visited with a friend, but next time, I’ll definitely bring my wife. Couldn’t recommend it more!

This place is a little gem, had an amazing breakfast wife my wife, the food was so tasty and we will definitely be going back.

First time visiting Ellisons and it was excellent. Only made aware of it from the 'Newcastle Foodie' group and what a delight. We all had the Sunday lunch, the quality of the ingredients was superb and service were all faultless, not to mention really good value for money at £20 for 2 courses and £25 for 3 courses. My only disappointment was being too full to sample their wonderful dessets - will definitely be back ! :) Also, a massive plus for me it that the music in the restaurant was subtle and didn't over power the atmosphere, no shouting to make yourself heard !

Amazing breakfast, best pancakes outside of the US

We went here for brunch and it was absolutely delicious! Excellent service, very tasty food and drinks, with good portion sizes in a relaxed and beautiful decorated setting. I would definitely recommend this place.

Just walked out. What a shame. Myself and my partner love Ellisons and regularly go however today the service was appalling. We arrived just after 10am, were taken to our table and given water however after that we waited for over 20minutes and during this time not once were we seen to - no coffee or food order taken. Meanwhile around us tables had been cleared and reset, others had arrived been sat and placed orders. Really let down by Ellisons today.

Don’t quite understand the 4.8 rating as my visit did not reflect this. Ordered the cod sandwich for lunch where initially I thought “what a big portion!”, however I was soon disappointed to discover that I had 3 portions of cod inside (each piece smaller than a fish finger). The majority of the sandwich was filled with coleslaw, which may I just add was incredibly salty to the point it was almost inedible. This was £13 btw. I absolutely hate complaining in restaurants as I find it incredibly awkward and don’t want to be a pain especially that the staff were actually really friendly. Anyway, I would say there’s plenty other cafe’s around with better food for a more reasonable price too.

What a fantastic way to spend our 30th Wedding Anniversary, changed venue after the View at Tynemouth offered what we both thought was a very limited and lacking in imagination menu First time bringing my wife here usually business lunches, we started with drinks pornstar martini for the lady and a Diet Coke for myself The menu was impressive and brunch was also still ok to order, starters arrived papas bravas and a Pear and shallot onion baghi which was Devine perfectly cooked Then the main event steak strips served with very well seasoned potatoes my main was full English which was irresistible even ordered a freshly baked Stottie to make a perfect bacon buttie The service was amazing very attentive and friendly, it was a joy to watch the chefs prepare food due to open kitchen This place is faultless give it a try worth the journey Well done all

First time going here and I was craving an iced latte, it was lovely and the atmosphere was very modern and cozy - definitely coming back 🩷

A fabulous experience from start to finish. Service was excellent from the whole team; attentive but not overly so. All the tapas dishes we chose were beautifully presented and tasted wonderful, with fresh, good quality produce. There was one dish we had mistakenly ordered, not realising it contained an ingredient we both don’t enjoy - our fault, and we didn’t expect another plate, but we appreciate being asked if we’d like something else. Desserts were also first rate. Would also like to mention the fabulous playlist! Thanks to you all - you have a great place here, provide food of excellent quality and have chosen and trained staff very well - we will certainly return.

Family meal tonight for restaurant week deal. Absolutely delicious! Service was brilliant especially Darcey and Ellen . 5* choice was excellent and each one was spot on☺️

Never tried this restaurant before so when my son suggested it for Sunday lunch…. Arrived for 1.15pm and escorted to our table. Restaurant light bright and seemed busy. I went for a la carte bruschetta followed by Sirloin steak both were good & a side order of cauliflower cheese. My son has lamb kofta followed by Roast beef which he said the kofta was only Luke warm but was fine tasty. We both finished with dessert a biscotti cheesecake & a chocolate mousse both delicious. Drinks were excellent burrito on draught & we both had Prosecco. The only problem which was not a problem as such was we had only ordered more drinks (2.15) were then told they needed the table for more customer, they should have informed us on booking or even when we ordered our food. Having said all I am excited to visit again in the near future. Spend £100 for two well worth it!

A warm friendly welcome and comfortable surroundings. Really tasty food, a real treat for anyone that appreciates quality ingredients. Presented well and washed down with really good coffee. Keep doing what you’re doing. We’ve found our new go to local place for a lovely treat.

Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning (4 of us). You have to book in advance as it's so popular. Fab food, and all freshly cooked. I had the full English. The chorizo hash brown was a tasty surprise and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Milk shake to finish off was very nice.

It is quite expensive in here but it is well worth it. The food is well presented and has a mixture of nice flavours. The staff are friendly, efficient and hard working.

Really tasty Sunday family lunch with excellent friendly staff with hands on owner. Lovely menu offering with additional Sunday lunch specials including bouillabaisse and beef bourginonne. Yummy desserts included sticky toffee pudding and berry crumble. Recommended.

Not a very good service. Took 1 hour and 20 minutes to make a bacon and sausage sandwich. Then when they finally severed me the food, it was a bacon sandwich without the sausage. Will not be going back

Fantastic brunch - everyone loved the food, great service in a relaxed atmosphere

Went for breakfast this morning. I had the full English it was first rate & lots of it . My friend had the pancakes omg massive portions.. We both said we would definitely go back

Such a lovely find. We had the cheese omelette for breakfast. Gluten free options on most dishes. Very clued up, was given a sheet with all the allergens om. Excellent service. Shame we don't live closer as we'd definitely go back.

Excellent food and a great atmosphere

Had a great night at Ellison’s of Low Fell .Gorgeous food and brilliant service. I would highly recommend this little gem of a place

3rd visit and finally got around to reviewing. Been for 2 Sunday lunches and 1 dinner. Never disappointed by the quality and service. A little gem. Give it a go next time you're on the Fell, you'll thank me for it.

What an amazing place to go to in Low Fell for a delightful dinner. Also delightful to sit outside for coffee on a sunny morning ☕

Delicious brunch options. I had an omelette with ham, cheese, feta, spinach and mushroom. It was one of the best I've ever had. Others had eggs benedict, the full english and the mexican option. Everything was great quality

Had the Full English…. Couldn’t fault it! Thought the service by the colleagues was spot on and the wait time for food was excellent! Really nice look and feel to the place and a lovely temperature to eat in and remain comfy. If the breakfast was that good then coming back for main meals will be superb!

My usual place to take clients for lunch has now closed its doors, so had to look for a new venue thanks to a google search and a great phone to Alex at Ellisons I knew I had the perfect place Upon arrival to the upstairs Bistro received a very warm and friendly greeting from Alex that spoke to myself on the phone Seated straight away at a great comfortable roomy table Menus arrived and drinks order taken very impressed with the menu, we both selected the amazing steak sandwich The sandwich was perfectly cooked so rare with steak served with vegetable crisps and fresh salad so glad we also ordered the chunky chips some of the best I have ever tasted Myself and my client suitably impressed and my client is going to book with his wife at the weekend Great service Great Food Great Staff especially Alex who made our lunch faultless

Absolutely delicious brunch. I got the Ellison's triple (florantine, Benedict and Royale ) and my fiance got the sweet and savoury pancakes with a hash brown on the side. We were so impressed with how tasty the food was and how kind the staff were. Definitely going back!

Amazing little gem in Low Fell. Very friendly staff and amazing food too match.

Went for the first time on recommendation last week and was not disappointed! Fantastic Menu and Service... I had a Vegan Breakfast which I'd never had before and Loved it... Will be back..

Lovely venue, friendly staff and delicious food. Always a pleasure to visit.

Lovely little cafe. Homemade food especially good.

I didn't go here as they let dogs in

These guys really know what they are doing when it comes to service and food. Outstanding!

What a lovely place, food is great. Fantastic value for money too. Plentiful too. If driving, park in Low Fell & walk up as parking limited & obviously need to think about the residents. Booking essential. Would probably go outside peak times so we could chat more as a little noisy when busy but not off putting! . Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed.

Lunch for a birthday - gorgeous food, great wine, great atmosphere and brilliant service!

First time visiting. Very busy, but service was great. Breakfast sandwiches, hash with chorizo, and beef burger, all excellent!

Wow….first time visiting Ellisons today, certainly won’t be the last!!! I had the breakfast hash, it was amazing so tasty, coffee was amazing too 😊 can’t wait to return

We came for brunch on Saturday for a hen party. The food and service were both excellent and our bride-to-be had an amazing time.

We have always had there Fantastic Breakfasts so decided to try Sunday Roast Lunch and it was delicious. Dave's main he had 2 meats, the Gammon & Beef, I had Prosciutto wrapped chicken breast, they kindly made it Gluten free for me by removing the Yorksire & Roasties but gave me extra truffle mash, it was so nice & both had carrot & brocolli, we had an extra portion of lovely Cauliflower cheese too 😋 . It was so nice we cant wait to to back. Great service as always too. Thank you everyone : )

Good service good food. Very accommodating as well for allergies.

Really enjoyed the breakfast. Great food and lovely staff.

I needed somewhere to kill some time by myself while my son was at an acting session, I frequent the area because of my son and always go for the easy option, chain coffee shop, 'Costsa fortune' and this time I wanted to find somewhere different, so where I could maybe grab something nice to eat and a real nice coffee or hot drink, I looked online and Ellison's came up, it was away from the main drag which is clearly why I haven't seen it before, but what a little find! I ordered myself a latte and a Brie, bacon and chutney sandwich, which they asked if I wanted toasted, yes!! I had a lovely little seat by the window downstairs, I didn't realise there was an upstairs, but apparently that's the restaurant area where its best to book for brunch etc everything was nice, sandwich was really tasty and the coffee was lovely too, I was able to sit for about an hour before I gave the table up which was booked in, the place filled up and there's was many people passing to go upstairs to the restaurant, obviously very popular, how could I have missed out on this little gem? Before leaving, with some cakes to takeaway obviously, I had a little look round the ajoining gift shop, there was pretty much everything you needed in there if you're looking for that special something, cards, jewellery, bags, homeware, toys and so much more, it was there that I got speaking to a lovely lady who informed me of their restaurant nights which are really popular and the fact that they've been voted top 15 places for brunch in the North by Living North magazine, which is no surprise really, now I know they have a larger menu to order from in a larger space upstairs I can't wait to try their proper brunch and I think I've told everyone I've come in contact with since about my little find

We were staying locally for a weekend and were recommended to try Ellison's for Brunch. We had a lovely visit, the staff were all so good. Hugely delicious choices on the menu, and they were as tasty as they promised to be. Excellent in every way.

Would strongly recommend Ellison's, having just had a great Sunday brunch here whilst visiting family. Others at our table really enjoyed their Full English, whilst my hask with chorizo was fab. Great service and lovely decor. Dinner menu looks good too.

The venue is nice and clean if a little sparten a bit like eating in someone's front room, the toilet was immaculate with nice hand wash, the service was a bit slow, the food was nice but nothing special considering how expensive it is compared to other places in Low Fell poor value for money IMO, would not be in a hurry to go back, food elsewhere just as good and with better atmosphere.

First and last time we will visit this establishment. Could not recommend. Nothing appealing about it; no atmosphere; food well below standard expected.

Great friendly restaurant which is why we keep coming back

It's a very nice place for a lovely brunch. The food is excellent, and the service is faultless. The staff is friendly and professional. I recommend that place.

Lovely spot, one of the best in Low Fell. Easy booking system, enough space to move around, pretty interior too. Staff are polite and helpful. Food is delicious I’ve had a variety of things from here but see below for my steak sandwich. Not too slow either. This place is dog friendly downstairs which is great. Highly Recommend.

Top quality food, place and staff, definitely recommended

First time I’ve visited here , better late than never ! We will certainly be back. Lovely service , great menu and the food was fabulous. So lucky having this place on our doorstep

I attended here with my wife and having called ahead to check, we were allowed to bring our small dog to sit in the downstairs café part of the restaurant. The menu had all of these usual bunch items you would expect and initially when I looked at some of the prices, I thought there were slightly Pricey, £11 for salmon and eggs. However, I must say I can completely understand why, I’ve never had such fresh delicious produce. The yolks of the eggs were bright orange and the black pudding and sausage was absolutely delicious. Some of the best I’ve ever had. The coffees were okay, nothing massively special. Staff were friendly throughout. All in all I would certainly re attend for lunch or even dinner.

We popped in for brunch, I’m vegetarian so opted for the halloumi hash. The big disappointment was finding 4 pieces of chorizo amongst the halloumi. Staff didn’t seem bothered and said ‘maybe it came off another plate?’ - Yikes!! Maybe the chef got it wrong and tried to pick out the chorizo?! Not sure I’d trust the kitchen to not contaminate vegetarian dishes with meat products now.

Went for brunch with friends. Was lovely. Staff very attentive and great with my young children. Shaksuka is a must!

First visit. Very tasty food, well presented and delicious. Staff can’t do enough for you (switched bread type etc) and are very friendly/efficient. Would highly recommend when visiting Low Fell. Thanks to all at Ellisons.

Excellent food. Staff very friendly. Highly recommend

1st time there - wonderful friendly staff, Full English (wow) car parking off Kells lane free Sunday - cafe downstairs looks good too - plus a beautiful gift shop👌spot on!!!

Myself and 3 friends have just had lunch from the Christmas menu and it was absolutely outstanding!!. Possibly one of the nicest Christmas meals I've ever had. Thank you so much.

Lovely coffee house with great meals and cake!!

Booking is advised. Lovely place with friendly staff. Little gift shop too. Food is always delicious and service is as quick as can be expected when it's busy.

Visited for brunch, we had the eggs benedict and eggs royale. Both where absolutely lovely, eggs cooked to perfection. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive, will be back soon.

Dropped in for breakfast. Really nice sausage sandwich made quickly and good coffee. Very comfortable and clean.

We purchased a toy for our newborn granddaughter servic excellent lovely staff food looked and smelled great but didn't have time for a coffee highly recommended

A lovely atmosphere and very friendly, attentive service. The Sunday lunch was delicious. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to return.

Coffee catch up. Usual range of coffees and teas. Nice tasting coffees. Cheese scones were delicious and poached eggs perfectly cooked. Other food looked nice. Comfortable, bright and modern venue. Great service. Would definitely return and recommend for good tasting coffee and nice brunch menu.

Food is always amazing however, blonde staff member wasn't very helpful and unattentive, said she was supervisor but had to send different staff to sort a simple situation out. Guy with dark hair came to the rescue and sorted the situation out and was so polite and helpful. Been several times and always had bad experience with that member of staff. Food 5 star, staff 4 star, location 5 star. Staff who was young with blonde hair over charged at one sitting then sent management over Ryan I think who sorted things out straight away and was very nice. Overall good experience without the supervisors input.

What a beautiful place to have brunch, The food was delicious, so much choice and service is second to none. So lucky to have this place on our doorstep

Visited for breakfast this morning. Couldn’t fault it. Perfect food in a lovely setting. Will definitely be back. The smoked haddock was delicious.

This is a real gem and well worth a detour if you are in the area. It is a very nice cafe/restaurant in a good location with easy parking nearby. They have a comprehensive menu of interesting meals as well as the traditional standards such as the all day breakfast. I had the vegan breakfast which was delicious. As I’m not vegan I had it with eggs which made it even better. The meals were quickly prepared with very fresh ingredients and extremely tasty. I would certainly go back again.

Went for brunch. Nice atmosphere. A little slow on service but food looked great and was very tasty

Great staff and food was delicious

Came for brunch and ordered the haddock and poached egg. The fish and eggs were stunning, and the hollandaise sauce tied the dish together perfectly. Staff extremely friendly and attentive; can't wait to return.

Stopped in for breakfast. Very nice 🙂

Great venue for brunch with a friend, food delicious, it's a gorgeous venue, very tastefully decorated. Staff lovely.

Great place for brunch. Really good food and service and in a nice location.

Visited today to spend a gift card I was lucky enough to get for a recent birthday. Service was friendly and at the right pace. My wife and I both had the Spiced Lamb which was really tender and plenty of veg all with the right amount of spices, followed by a shared sticky toffee pudding. All in all a great Sunday lunch.

We perused the menu which was quite impressive and politely requested that we sit at one of the tables outside what with it being so warm, also my wife being disabled needed a seat to rest her leg as her prosthetic becomes more uncomfortable in hot weather. We were told that they didn't serve food outside and that we had to sit inside, and that they didn't serve drinks till after 9.00am. It was after 8:55 at this point and we only asked for two Lattes, meanwhile another couple were being served a pot of tea outside! We we're also told that they were busy when there were only two small families in there if that. It was clear by the expressions on the faces of the staff that they just weren't interested so we left disappointed in our experience and took our business elsewhere. Here's the thing; about half an hour later I passed by the establishment on my way home (around 9:30/9:40) to see folk sitting at the outside tables with full plates of food! We are now just confused and disappointed as to why we were refused our small and simple request but at least we now know to go elsewhere which us a shame as we live locally

My wife and I decided to pop by for breakfast as it was a warm morning at 19° even at 9.50am, and it was forecast to be the hottest day of the year thus far.

We have been here many times recently for lunch but this time we came for breakfast. The staff were busy but we had booked a table.we ordered different things I had full English breakfast. Omg it was truly food heaven. Everything cooked perfectly, poached eggs were lovely and the hash browns (something I normally don't get) were homemade with chorizo and tasted fabulous. We waited a while but this was expected due to how busy it was. But it was worth the wait. Definitely be going again.

Amazing decor, quality vegan food and service is perfect!

Second time we've been here for brunch and it was just as nice the second time. I had the breakfast hash this time ... so filling and lovely. My husband had the steak egg and fried potatoes. Again be said it was lovely. Already looking at the lunch menu and planning to go back again even though it is a half hour drive for us!

Absolutely delicious dinner comprising: Charcuterie board with Pork-belly and Ox cheek small plates, sweet potato ‘shoestrings’ and tender-stem broccoli sides, followed by chocolate hazelnut torte and apple-blackberry crumble. Lovely breezy, light, pleasant dining area upstairs, competent friendly staff. Two very happy diners, already planning next visit. What a lovely place and great value too.

First time I've been and will be calling back it was so nice.

Really lovely evening, great food, service and staff.

Had to wait awhile to order food. Downstairs this time. Food spot on.

Exceptional venue, great menu & service. A little Gem in Low Fell

Had breakfast here last week amazing well worth it

I was there this morning 4th August . Lovely place but service was really bad. 3 adults and 5 children, not all of us were eating but everyone got their drinks/food at different times. I ended up eating my sausage sandwich on my own after a very long wait. Shame really as my daughter and grandsons were visiting from Yorkshire so on a tight timeline. Don't think the family were impressed

First visit for me and my mate (his recommendation). The gaff is well put together. Fixtures and fittings are good quality. A very warm welcome from the staff. In fact, all the staff were welcoming and attentive. Good first impressions. Me and my mate were tantalised by the rump steak, egg and potatoes! I had a white americano and my pal went for a cappuccino. The steak, egg and pots were beautifully cooked and presented. You get man? The only metaphorical fly in the ointment was the seasoning. We both found the amount of salt on the pots to be a real barrier to culinary ecstasy. You can add salt but can’t take it away and we were both gutted. We did pass on our comments to the staff. Otherwise, the food was great. Would we return? You betcha we would. But would need to clarify the seasoning position before ordering.

Went for brunch with friends and absolutely loved it. It was busy inside but didn’t feel too cramped and the air conditioning worked a treat - it was a boiling hot day when we visited but lovely and cool inside. There was a good selection...

We have been a few times before. Specifically went for the surf & turf platter today and it was absolutely lovely. A really nice idea and very well priced. The service was spot on; friendly, efficient and happy. Love the decor of the place and...
