Gold Medal in Gateshead

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.

Excellent service especially from Daniel, great bloke and great food

Had breakfast here on Tuesday 15th October. Tried Ravensworth Arms first but no service then came here. Lovely staff warm atmosphere and lovely breakfast. My first choice next time.

Lovely place, will happily come here for a meal and a drink again

Came in for food and was not disappointed! From the moment we stepped into the restaurant to the minute we left the staff were superb. Food was definitely the highlight to our visit though!

Fish and chips was spectacular. Great pub food and lovely staff.

Came for Sunday dinner, was excellent and served in a very timely manner!

Good service with lovely staff, when I'd ordered wrong thing they changed it immediately no questions asked

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

Delicious Sunday lunch and fantastic value. I have been here a few times with family and we always leave fully satisfied. Daniel was our waiter/host and as usual was attentive and helpful. Sunday lunch plus a glass of wine for a tender!! Brilliant value.

Lovely staff. Lovely food. Definitely go back.

Great staff, food spectacular! Stopped in on a whim with some friends and couldn’t fault the friendly wait staff! Catered to one of our friends (ridiculously pick eater). Friendly and welcoming

Great food & pints while watching the match.

Excellent food and drinks at fantastic prices. Service first class and very friendly staff. Restaurant spacious and comfortable - whole establishment has fresh and clean and very welcoming atmosphere

Food was amazing cooked to perfection 👌 👍

Lindsay our server was so pleasant and happy. Revived a high level of service from Lyndsey x Made us so welcome and had a chance to have a laugh in between her busy serving times. Huge thanks Lindsay. We’ll be back x

Nice place. Nice beer. Nice breakfast 😊

Lovely breakfast. Staff were great a.

For a hungry horse chain this is the best pub for the food. Staff are friendly too!

Great food and lovely staff! Normally I am old school and prefer face to face service, but, since my mum is hard of hearing, we used the Greene King app which was more convenient and less stressful as her hearing aid tunes in to the wrong sound frequency which can be very stressful when talking to other people who don’t know she’s hard of hearing. With the app, we ordered our meals with no bother and, even better, we could pay via PayPal! The staff were very friendly and welcoming as well as understanding of my mum’s hearing difficulties. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back.

What a fabulous pub this is. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was outstanding value. Will be visiting this pub again soon. Keep up the excellent work 👍

This is a lovely bar and restaurant. The staff are so hard working and above all friendly with a smile on their faces..we visit here a few times a month and we are never disappointed. The steak and ale pie with chips and peas is outstanding!! Massive you can’t finish it but by husband tries his best!! Please visit you won’t be disappointed

We went on Friday as a family really busy nd food was flying out the kitchen food smelt amazing nd looked great we got a couple the new burgurs to try nd they was spot on hot the right spot we saw one chef bring food out he brought arse to help the staff nd even thought was busy he was so polite nd spent a few minutes talking to us asking what are plans for the night was Jonathan is a lovely lad nd couldn’t fault any staff deffo be coming bk next week

Food very good service fair but very cold air conditioning

Called in on 24th August for dinner food was great , atmosphere was great, served by jonathan , friendly & very helpful, 5* jonathan

Lovely food value u for money great service the Korean chicken burger was amazing 🤩 shell&Gully

Would not go for food again, two adults and two child. Burger was cheap chewy meat. Mixed grill most got left, sausages horrible, frozen chips, egg over done, meat wasnt that good. Children's meals wasn't upto much either. Staff was lovely, Shame about the food.

Great place to drop in with the family and watch live football. Plenty of TV's and lots of space to sit down and relax. The staff were really helpful and the atmosphere during the game was excellent. The food was really nice and the service was quick. The kids really enjoyed it and already asking to go back.

I live quite local to this place, but even if I didn't I would definitely travel for the food and drinks on offer, food is always of a high standard, good selection of drinks available and the staff are really professional and helpful despite it gett8ng really busy at times. Feel well looked after everytime My family goes there and always feel I've had value for money

Delicious food. Great staff. Superb value for what you pay. Staff are always asking if everything was ok which was nice too.

Food and service was absolutely brilliant with cracking deals to help with the cost of living. Food came it was red hot and to a high standard. I Can't fault it also get down for match days one of the best bar in gateshead for atmosphere!!!!!! 5 stars

My daughter asked to go for her birthday meal. Three times I went to the bar to order but every time they did not have what we wanted. Shame we used to go here a lot.

Updated 16/08/2024.... what is happening to this pub so see photos of a pint of coke, serviced not even full, a disgrace!!! SF chicken see picture was horrible, cheap and nasty piece of chicken, clearly from frozen product, one bite, if wasn't a BOGOFF deal, ask for a refund, dry and tasteless SF chicken. Would be five stars on food and drinks, but let down by inconsiderate smokers... We started off seating at the back area and smoker out of all empty seats came sat next to us so we moved in side for a meal, we spent well over £70 on meals and drinks everything no issues, but with the gorgeous hot weather we all decided to have more drinks outside on the side balcony with the fresh air and sun in our face signs on benches saying no smoking and then annoying a chav family of 4 came over sat next to us and ruined our experience by smoking Vapes all 4, smoking or steaming wafting over onto our table no consideration for other around a family of 2 left too, so I spoke with the manager who did nothing but saying Vaping was accepted only, not cigerattes, so we drank up and left to go elsewhere to finish our night off. Please note Vaping has tabacco on them also which we were smelling, and invasion of our health and atmosphere turning a beauty night into breathing second hand smoke. Thought we were in a train tunnel with the face full of vape.

Food arrived within ten minutes of ordering lovely big portions two adult pub classics meals and two children's meals for £15 friendly staff

Great service and food again. Jen did a super job

Fantastic food, really nice staff

Really good experience here. It's not Michelin star food but it's very decent pub grub for a great price plus 15% off with BLC. The food was great (burger, roasts and mac n cheese). Loads of meat on the Sunday roasts. Service was really good, we were made aware there may be a wait as it's busy and they were apologetic for us. One of our servers Daniel was super attentive and friendly, making sure everything was good, having a bit crack and apologising again for the wait.

Food is lovely. Bar is nice and clean and presentable. Staff are very friendly and the bar seemed very well ran.

They had a meal deal for £8.00, which consisted of a curry and pint when we were there. Can't get better value than that! There was also a great choice of reasonably priced menu items. We definitely will be going back at some point.

I booked my football teams presentation at the gold medal and after speaking g to thr management team of Ronnie and Stacey they gave us a private area with a large screen for the team to be in. They were ever so helpful and renamed for a PowerPoint presentation to be shown on a large TV screen. They also provided some outdoor inflatables for the girls to play on. An added extra touch which we were so thankful for. The staff on the day Nicole, Jacob, David, Sarah and Daniel were all excellent. They were attentive, helpful, friendly and couldn't do enough for us. They are an asset to the pub. Apologies if I missed anyone else who was working out. Overall it was an excellent afternoon f9r all the girls and parents and we will definitely use it again next year or for any other occasions we plan. Well done and thank you

Love it when a place is on point with their allergens. I like the fact you can look through the allergens tablet yourself at your table. The server mentioned the allergy on the check and the server who came to the table even mentioned it as well, it's nice being able to go somewhere and being taken seriously and not leave feeling like a burden. The food was lovely and for the price as well I really can't grumble.

It's a nice place to spend some time with friends and family. Very clean. When people leave the table, someone is always ready to clean it right away. 5 stars on that. Food is OK. We order a steak and fish and chips. The stake was good, pretty tasty. The chips were also nice, very well fried. The fish, even not bad, could be better. A bit dry. The lemon with it was almost dry. I like to put the juice of the lemon on my fish and chips. Over all, was a good experience and probably will return.

Ask for a Sunday roast and for my surprise the turkey meat was frozen and from the tin basically the meat was not turkey meat but processed meat from the tin if that was not bad enough my daughter found plastic in her curry never again.

Excellent service by Joe great atmosphere for the euros.

Very good service from joe, really nice food and excellent atmosphere!

Food was lovely, thankfully in before the football so was quite a peaceful visit. Staff are attentive but not constantly walking past or asking if everything is okay. The server Daniel was lovely and very plesent and easy to get along with.

Young waitress brought our food the knife and fork had dried food on them also incorrect food was brought out when I explained to waitress under her breath she said for ffk sake I address this she denied it her face went red wouldn't go bk

Lovely food tonight we all loved it. We always do. The staff are great and we love coming here. Everything ove eaten here ive enjoyed never any complaints

Great atmosphere and service from.all of the staff. Special mention for Daniel who always goes the extra mile to make sure we are all happy while we are there.

Lovely food, Daniel was very friendly and welcoming making a fab atmosphere!

Daniel always gives great service.

Been to the gold medal a few times and never had any complaints. Food was 10/10 and staff were always on hand to help with any questions. Nicole was the member of staff who took our order and served us. She is a very polite young lady always smiling and nothing was a problem for her to sort out.

Excellent service from staff ..Daniel is very helpful and friendly nothing is a problem to him ...very much a people's person

Had a great experience at the gold medal today! Food and drinks were amazing, Joseph was lovely behind the bar!

This is the third time we come here and it all way Brilliant the food is amazing the staff are fantastic all round the place is fantastic

Food very basic nothing special food luke wa needs updating

Chicken was a bit rubbery. Sizzle plate with some peppers and onion etc as well as pancake with a few more chopped veg, lettuce, mango and spicy sauces which were nice but chicken not as nice as expected. Hence a point down. Free pudding Thursday with certain dishes. I got mine and chise cheese cake and ice cream wuth chocolate sauce drizzled over. Its the best pudding if my life. No exageration. Love, love, loved it. Amazing 10 out of 10 Staff recommended the pudding. Fabulous staff. Lsugh and smile a lot. They both made me welcome. Barmaid and waitress. Thank you. A little on the quiet side as it was lunch

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Gold Medal Pub and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided by Sarah. From the moment I arrived, Sarah greeted me with a warm and friendly smile, instantly making me feel welcome. Throughout my visit, she was attentive and ensured that all my needs were met promptly. Her knowledge of the menu and her recommendations were spot on, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. Sarah's professionalism, combined with her genuine care for her customers, truly stood out. The Gold Medal Pub is lucky to have such a dedicated and personable staff member. I highly recommend visiting and asking for Sarah if you want top-notch service. Thank you, Sarah, for making my visit memorable!

Here's a refined version of your review: The staff were friendly and hardworking, providing excellent service. Sarah, in particular, stood out for her exceptional assistance.

Visited today for lunch and the food was lovely and made all the better by amazing service from Daniel who was very attentive and friendly this alone will make us visit again

I come here once to twice a month with my Mam and daughter. Food is always lovely and hot, every member of staff we encounter is always friendly and helpful. Daniel served us and has done a few times, he is so attentive but not overpowering. He’s checks in and lets us know we can ask anything/order more if needed. He is always working hard and my daughter (10yrs) said she wonders if he does 500,000 steps everyday because he’s always rushing around 😂

The worker Daniel is very polite and welcoming.

Served by Daniel today, great service as always and fantastic food 👍🏻

A nice place, great staff good food

Fre came today, excellent value for money, would definitely recommend and will return

Lovely steak last night at the Gold Medal cooked by Jonathan.

Service was fast and friendly. Food was nice, would be good to have a bigger portion but still not bad at all. Daniel is always accommodating and friendly too, which makes us want to return.

Lovely family lunch today. I had the roast beef dinner and it was beautiful. Have to make a special mention to Daniel who was our server he was really attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend

Played pool there last night it was a good atmosphere and lovely staff:)

We are regular customers to the medal and normally have food and drink.Over the years we have never had a bad experience the hospitality is second to none Daniel one of the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure you are well looked after. Note to manager give him a well deserved pat on the back. And don't change the chef. See you next week

Good staff. Nice atmosphere. Beers slightly more expensive but there is a good range including some real ales.

The food and service was excellent and to top it all of Joe was amazing

Came here for a few drinks and some food, food was exceptional and so was the service. Got served by a lovely lady named nic, very friendly and polite. Had a very good experience here would highly recommend

Great scran, clean environment, and friendly staff and massive shout out to Jacob for his great service

A lovely pub, the food was great but our experience was made so much better by Jacob serving us. He was very friendly and had a laugh with us, and his service overall was amazing. We will definitely be coming back.

Pub is spot on, nice place for a few drinks. Jacob is a top bloke made me feel at home.

Service and food are excellent. The staff are brilliant can't do enough for you. Place is clean. Food is delicious and good portions.

A very welcoming atmosphere, the staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a great two hours here, there is also plenty of free parking and only a few minutes from the A1.

Very slow service . Diners who came in after us were served first. Food luke warm and very bland and basic

Really good pub meal, will come back 100%

Lovely, tasty quiet breakfast, just what we were looking for. 😋

Called in over the weekend with friends atmosphere was great, staff member Jacob was very helpful

Despite a number of problems, Sofia dealt with them excellently and courteously and with a smile. Excellent service on an extremely busy evening.
