This place is amazing for food , amazing service by waitress , very kind and caring staff , would definitely come again , very family friendly

good food nice enviroment and mario was very friendly and good at his job

Lovely family meal in the kids holidays. Couldn’t fault anything and staff were vey friendly especially Daniel who made conversation with the kids and wished us goodbye and to have a good day on the way out

Been a regular visitor for a number of years but would just like to compliment a newbie member of staff Alysha who is a great member of staff. Bar awareness and serving people in correct order - and aswell her mannerism and friendliness while serving is great.

Good food and lovely atmosphere

"Amazing food and exceptional service! Our waiter, Mario was attentive And did an amazing job

Had nice breakfast today but noticed on my bill for 3 breakfasts was 6.99 plus 99 p for toast each they had 1egg 2 hb 1 sausage bacon beans and mushrooms

Great food, great value for money, Jonathan couldn’t really do much more for us, friendly service, checked our table had everything needed. Thanks again

Cheap and cheerful food not bad at all coke 3.35 a pint camt get half n packed with ice other than that great

100% recommended staff are friendly

Had tea at the gold medal tonight food was lovely and a nice chilled out atmosphere. Thanks to Mario who was very helpful when ordering our food l always very pleasant

Good food friendly staff I would definitely visit again

Well another little visit to the goldmedal today for a bite to eat and was served by a pleasant young man named Jonathan who was very attentive to all my requirements. Thanks Jonathan 🫡

A really enjoyable meal for a family of 10. Everyone had a lovely time and meal. The staff were fantastic who served us. Jonathan and another man from the kitchen. Really professional and extra careful around the little baby when bringing food out.

Lovely pub chilled and very friendly staff Sunday dinners are very nice for the cost

Stopped here for tea as a family of 4. Food options for everyone including 2 fussy children. Hubby disappointed the Sunday roast was finished when we arrived at 8pm. Served by Daniel, top quality service, polite and very attentive. Would pop by again if we are in this area.

"Amazing food and exceptional service! Our waiter, Mario was attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

I came with my two young children for a family pub dinner, but the staff at the entrance could be more courteous. I asked if we could go outside to enjoy the sun and was told that outside is adults only. Then asked for a table and the person i asked to disappeared for like 10 minutes and when she came back she told that I had to immediately put my son down as he cannot sit there. He was just sitting at the chair of a gambling machine, there was no need to use a passive aggressive tone, I am sure he did not mean to play at 3 years of age. And there was nobody around to play. We decided initially to sit outside on the other side and asked to bring some menus. I was given only adult menus even if it was pretty clear i needed to order from the kids menu. I understand the table has got some papers with drawings for children together with the menues, but ours did not. The food itself was ok, i had a burger which was good although the fries portion was small and only had 2 onion rings. Also, there are not spoons available to take from the cutlery areas, which would have been useful for my children to eat the peas The food itself as nice, but i probably won't go back alone with the kids because the pub doesn't sound as kids friendly as i thought.

Special price foods no need for discount cards. Lots of choice and very satisfied.

Food is absolutely perfect, never had a bad meal in the years i’ve been coming here, the staff are wonderful too, nothing is ever too big or too small, always happy to help! Sarah E is brilliant, super happy and super helpful!

Had a lush meal here today. Great service and really friendly staff.

Another good night at gold medal Served by Jonathan today lovely service lovely food be back again soon

Great service at the Medal as always. Nice food. Everyone on shift pleasant. Great service thank you Jonathan and all the staff. cheers

No atmosphere and the food was nowhere near the quality of years gone by

I often come here with family. The staff are always so polite and friendly. The meals are always enjoyed by all, at a reasonable price. Tonight we were served by a lad called Jonathan. He had such a lovely manner, and was great with my daughter. Its through great staff like this, why we keep coming back to this pub 😊

I came in for food which was lovely and all staff members were very polite, respectful and happy too help, good bar/restaurant too visit

All enjoyed our meals here, nice food, good portions and we didn't wait long for it to be brought to our table. The member of staff that brought our food is lovely, he is always really friendly and seems to genuinely care about his customers, he came to check if everything was ok and then had a bit chat with us when he came to clear the plates. My only complaint is the price of soft drinks, £3.25 and it's barely half a pint without ice.

My friend and I have just been in for lunch and it was delicious. We both had Mexican salad pasta with salmon and cleared our plates. Lovely friendly atmosphere with quick and efficient service. We were served by a lovely young man (Daniel) who couldn't do enough for us, a total asset to the team. Thank you.

Popped in for some drinks yesterday , we were sat in a lovely booth with a little tv which was fun! Good price drinks and great service on the bar! Cheap too

Iv been here a couple of times over the last 12 months and always enjoyed it but today was different. The place it's self is lovely friendly a nice atmosphere it was the waiting staff we had a shock at. He looked like he had no personal hygiene ( like he hadn't bathed or showered in weeks) his clothes were dirty and hanging off him. My friend saw him pick his nose and then go into the kitchen. He's not someone you want carrying your food or even going into the kitchen. Watch for the lad with the tattoo on his hand.

I went here for the first time and my brother johnathon was working and he was brilliant with service and serving me my food he was excellent and polite .

So me and my daughter and grandchildren came in for breakfast, we decided to both have the breakfast wrap, we both left over half, it was wrapped well, that was good, we took a coyoke of bites to then feeling something dripping down our hands, only to see it was from the scrambled egg, we didn't complain at the time coz the server was really good, and we not a complainer,but I really wish I had now, coz the more I think about it, they really needed to know to resolve this, all they needed to do was to cook the scrambled egg a little long, it's not put me off from going but I just wouldn't get the scrambled egg again.

Had good time at the gold medal great food and Jonathan done a good job very attentive asked if our food was ok if we had any problems food and drink was what was expected Will be back again soon

Had a wonderful evening at the Gold Medal tonight. The food was delicious and our server Daniel was very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Atmosphere was lovely. Food delicious and Daniel the waiter was so lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Best service will definitely be back soon

Great service, great food, and welcoming staff. From the moment we entered we were made to feel welcome, staff saying hello as they passed and asking how we were. Bar lady was lovely, really bubbly and gave good recommendations as well as humorous. Food was stunning, especially rate the lamb kofta, and fish and chips. Our waiter, daniel, came over and had banter with us, chatting away and checking in on our food. Really happy chap, with great manner. Great little pub, especially for families

Lovely food friendly staff Mario is great

Great service very attentive staff and the food was lovely. Good value for money we will definately be returning.

Couldn't ask for more. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Staff are great. Good lovely, atmosphere spot on. Definitely recommend.

Service good, food unfortunately not so good

Had a funeral here, there was more than enough food on buffet, staff so friendly and extremely helpful. Can't recommend enough!

Great breakfast, will definitely be back,

Mario makes a cracking coffee. Chef Ben even brought the food out. Great experience.

First time here but won’t be the last staff very friendly and accommodating very pleasurable experience

Went there for a quick bite. Good food. Great local place to grab something to eat 🙂

Ok, where do I start. The place was fairly busy, but found a table easily, it had been used and not been cleaned. We had the roast beef, also got extra roast potatoes, and cauliflower and cheese. The two very thin slices of beef, was tough, and on the menu photo, it shows three slices, not two, also, no jug of gravy, like in the photo, but then it's for illustration only. The roast potatoes on the plate where well done, maybe sat around for a while, but then the extra potatoes where actually fine, and was a large portion, as well as the cauliflower. All the veg, as far as I can tell, are frozen. No one came back to check if everything was ok. Well, it's food, that's it.

Excellent service excellent food

Stopped by to quench some thirst and have a bite to eat. Staff were very accommodating, great beer selection. Food was good for the price and location.

Always have the best time, and the staff are really friendly especially Sarah and Daniel who always go above and beyond for the customers

One of the best pubs I’ve been too, lovely staff and always a great time

Fab food and service. Sarah was lovely and helpful

Daniel and Andrea both a credit to your business very helpful

Food was great. Mario was lovely

Breakfast was fabulous and we went back that night for dinner which was scrumptious too, a great place to eat

Great service from Lindsey who was working on the bar this Friday afternoon always as a laugh thanks again always service with a smile

Fantastic food lovely service from Andrea and Johnathan

We visited today for a friends birthday meal. I got the chicken tikka masala and it was the best curry I’ve ever had. Our server Daniel went above and beyond. Couldn’t do enough for us and made sure we were all satisfied with our food orders.

amazing had the stake came for my sisters birthday food was beautiful would definitely recommend thank you to all the staff including the chefs

Staff were really friendly and happy. Daniel was our server and he couldn’t have attended to us any better if he tried. He was constantly checking if everything was ok and if we needed anything at all. Food was spot on as usual. Very happy customer indeed

Served by lindsay d lovely pleasent person the atmosphere was lovely and the staff wonderful the food was great I would definitely visit again

Came in for my usual Latte and chicken strips, always great service, hats off to Chef David B, always makes sure chicken cooked to perfection and generous serving of bbq sauce. Thanks again 👍🏻

Sarah was a lovely waitress and couldn’t do enough to help us.

Tried to book a table and was told.on the phone that they were not taking bookings today, it was walk-ins only. Drove 20 mins to pub only to be told all the tables were booked?!

Went there today, 18th Dec, ordered, egg and chips, and 2 side dishes of chips, when the food arrived, we received a plate with an egg and a load of chips on, we waited and waited for the 2 side dishes of chips to arrive, so had to ask for them, but was told that the plate with the egg and chips, was actually 3 lots of chips, seriously ! So they had to bring us 2 more side dishes of chips, which by the way werent cooked properly, some were a bit white, I know the food isnt great here, but really, they got that simple order wrong!

great food came in a reasonable time amazing taste great value for money my service from nicole was amazing

Came for the Christmas meal, food was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend A*****

Nice little bar, go every Sunday with my mother and girlfriend. Good atmosphere and great place to watch the match. Food isn't so good but I won't mark it down too much for that because it's a Hungry Horse chain pub and you know what you're getting there, let's face it. Be nice if they had a couple of decent IPAs as that's my preference, the one on offer is not great. Staff are great though and I enjoy going.

Been here before no real issues previously, until tonight. Firstly our service and server was lovely, no faults there. However ordered drinks and were given dirty glasses that looked like they hadn’t been washed. Then ordered food, yeah it’s pub grub, not expecting miracles but food looked like it had been slung shot across the kitchen on the plate. A bun with the patty slide most the way out, bacon missing. And the taste was absolutely disgusting, spat out and never finished or touched anymore absolutely shocking food. Honestly think my burger patty was someone’s old flip flop they’ve had for years with some melted cheese ontop.

Fab day, great food and amazing service from all the staff, special thanks to Sarah!!

Our family consisting of me and my wife, our Daughters and their partners and our grandchildren had been to see Santa in Newcastle and wanted to finish the day off with a nice meal. The gold Medal has never let us down, we all enjoyed a lovely meal in friendly surroundings. The staff are very nice and they interact with the young grandchildren, which is nice. Everyone left with fully tummies after a lovely day out.

Great family bar staff are amazing. Nicole is particularly amazing without two girls and Dan is always a welcoming and friendly face.

Very good service and great food

Great food ,good service and family friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back. Top place.

Cannot fault the food and service, exceptional variety. Sarah was so friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend, and will be returning very soon... A lovely warm environment!

The gold medal has something for everyone. Comfortable venue and very fairly priced. Serves comfort food which is suitable for all of the family. Better than a take-away.

Excellent local pub with a great atmosphere. I always look forward to Thursdays and Fridays to see Andrea! She is so bubbly and friendly.

Excellent service nice staff very nice and happpy

My grandchildren visited santa today and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you
