Gunner in North Tyneside

Halloween party was fab with lots of games and fun for the adults and kids.Meal included at a fair admission fee too. Well done to the hosts.

Will, Joy and team did an absolutely fantastic job, as always, hosting this years Halloween party. At only £5 per ticket, the children were treated to music, dancing and lots of fun and games. Also included was a meal and a drink follwed by a fun packed take away bag of treats. Lots of happy faces. A brilliant afternoon for all. Well done all. Always a great place to visit, always a warm welcome.

Went to the kid’s Halloween party I can’t believe how much effort went into the organisation from the start to finish the kids where entertained they where fed and watered and the food was delicious the staff were all absolutely amazing so welcoming and friendly the kids were giving a party bag at the end and there was so much stuff in it can’t wait to visit for breakfast with Mrs Claus but definitely be back befor then for food as it’s such good value for money

The gunner hosts racist. During the Newcastle arsenal match 27 October they were throwing racist remarks around at the telly. Not like Bruno or any of their best team players are black but it made me upset and they knew that because they continued to glare at me afterwards - just to make more remarks afterwards. Left me in tears. Never going there again

Thanks to the crew at the Gunner last night (Saturday 28th September 2024). Great service as usual, great banter from Kris and JP, even giving us and the couple we were with table service they deserved a pat on the back and I left a tip. Also, the band (the Junk yard dogs) were very good. Cheers guys

We had a sunday lunch and it was the nicest we have had in a long time and great value for money, would definitely recommend service is second to none too

Brilliant place. Was in North Shields on a work related course. Good beer , food , atmosphere. Friendly beyond belief and somewhere id take my kids as well as my Wife for a meal , a drink or to just watch the Boro beat NUFC . Stayed in place 50 metres away and all in couldnt have picked a better spot. Landlord and Lady keep a brilliant house. Il be back and would recommend it to anyone. Couldnt have picked a better spot.

Always enjoy coming here, staff are always so lovely and friendly especially Lisa. Food was lovely and my sons always enjoy the puddings.

The food was great, fresh cooked and so tasty. Staff are so friendly and service was fantastic. Highly recommend the seniors special £5.49 2 courses. Won’t need dinner after this. Roast tomato soup was delicious, followed by full breakfast

Absolutely brilliant service, booked with 12 of us and everything was flawless. Christine and the team are brilliant. Thank you very much.

This pub did a fantastic spread for the Wake of my husband. Everyone commented on the quality of the good which was nice and hot. Staff were friendly. Fantastic service at a great price. We would highly recommend this place. Very homely inside.

Came back to The Gunner again for a family Christmas lunch 2023 having had a fabulous time here last year. We also came as a couple on New Years Eve with no intention of staying all night until we were made to feel so welcome. Again the staff were amazing. Never stopped working on either occasion whilst still acknowledging us and making us feel part of the ‘Gunner’ family. Absolutely faultless, professional, friendly staff and two great dates marked. Thank you x

This is a great place for meeting friends family having night out the food is great staff are great come here regularly with friends

Thank you to Joy, Christine and the team for their amazing customer service! The friendliest staff you will come across. Super welcoming, making sure you have everything you need. The food was fantastic and the prices were even better for what you receive! Phenomenal pub and grub🙌🏼

Lovely welcoming couple at the bar. Booked for 10 ladies at short notice. Food choices good and tasted delicious. We used the Oldies 2 courses for £5.49. Excellent value. Music just the right volume too. Will definitely go again

What a great meal we had at this pub excellent service couldn't do enough for our table,really quick service and was really busy at the time we went ,lovely staff aswell,will definitely be back again

This is a fab bar with a great atmosphere. Very clean and comfortable surroundings. The managment and staff can't be beaten for their friendliness, and customer focus ( with doggies also well catered for with fresh water bowls and treats) . Nothing is too much trouble for them. Food is very popular and never yet have I seen a plate returned that is not empty. Always something happening be it a charity event or a live band and all staff readily get in the swing to make a good occassion for all . A great bunch of hard working , pleasant and caring people. A definate regular watering hole for us.

Fantastic staff who couldn't do enough for us. Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Can't wait to return.

This pub is so welcoming, the staff are so friendly and to the extra mile to help everyone. Food is absolutely beautiful, burgers are to die for, topped chips are out of this world.

OMG what a lovely atmosphere, the bar staff are so lovely, food was phenomenal, I will be back. Traveled from Scotland and I’ll be happy to come back to see these people again. Thank you Gunner x

Absolutely fantastic service from all of the staff working. First England game of the Euros and venue was busy. All social distancing measures adhered to by the staff and amazing service even in the sweltering heat. Lisa and Paige and all others working made sure no customers wanted for anything. Regularly checking if drinks were required even though the greene king app is easily available to anyone using their phone. Outstanding service. The curried chips are lovely to pick at too. Thank you all

Booked a meal for the evening of the 30th May, when we arrived we were told that meals had stopped being served earlier. The staff were very apologetic and asked for my contact details. I rec’d a call from Joy (kitchen manager) who offered my husband and I a free meal and bottle of wine to make up for the inconvenience caused. We booked the meal for the 12th June (yesterday) and we were very impressed by the attention we rec’d. This type of customer care is, unfortunately, very rare these days. Well done to Joy and her staff.

Had a lovely afternoon at The Gunner with lunch and a few drinks, great service from Lisa, would definitely recommend

Me and my partner have came twice in the past month. Received excellent service. Lisa has served me and my partner the two times we have came. Brilliant service.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lisa made sure we could meet up with our nephew after 15 months, albeit in the rain. Thank you

Fantastic service from Lisa (service with a smile), fast and efficient and very friendly. lovely few hours. Brilliant bar.

Visited The gunner for drinks , absolutely perfect, we couldn’t have asked for more. It feels very Covid safe ( test n trace on entering , one way system & table service ) We had a table booked. Service was friendly and efficient, Jenny, Lisa & John Paul all a absolute credit to the pub, great menu.We’ve booked a Xmas meal as we were so impressed.Thank you to all of the staff for making us feel safe & welcome :- )

Been a few times to The Gunner since lockdown ended and can truly say that they deserve top marks for keeping the experience safe and pleasant. Proper safety measures are in place and are enforced, seperate entrance and exit, table service, no loitering at the bar, masks to be worn when moving around, all staff wearing ppe, tables sterilized after use, sanitizer provided, contactless payment encouraged, staff are courteous and hard working the list goes on and on lol. WELL DONE TEAM GUNNER !!!!

Great service and food, and the pub felt very safe and clean. Staff enforced social distancing rules but still kept a relaxed atmosphere.

Great afternoon Sunday lunch with the family.Great service and very friendly.Very covid secure...also Sunday lunch excellent value ..

as ever, the Gunner never fails to bring you smashing food in a lovely local pub. You get exactly what you pay for. Great choices and staff. Always friendly and especially at this time with the virus they tell you exactly what you have to do to keep you and the staff safe. Can't recommend it highly enough. Make sure you have a couple of extra holes in your belt!!

Popped in for a meal today,food was nice, served quickly by the lovely staff, good choice of menu, reasonably priced.

Yet another lovely meal can reccomend the burgers and steaks staff are both efficient n friendly under difficult times.

We had no booking; but were quickly welcomed by Joy;drinks served very quick followed by our meal.The staff worked very hard and I fully recommend a visit.We had a lovely evening in clean and welcoming surroundings,all Covid safe.We had table service as I didn’t want to use an app and that wasn’t a problem for the staff unlike other pubs who demand you use an app.Overall a lovely time was had by all.we will return very soon to support this lovely local pub.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I just have to leave a little review to say thank you to John Paul for his fantastic service on Saturday. He was a perfect host. Polite, bubbly and had a great vibe with a constant smile. In fact all the the staff I interacted with were lovely and are doing a smashing job in these unusual times.

Had a great experience today in the Gunner. Visited with my parents for food and drinks. When we arrived Christine explained to us about how they were managing covid. Was really clear and service throughout was excellent. Made us feel really welcome and table service was quick. Good value as always.

Brilliant afternoon at the gunner Easter party! Kids thoroughly enjoyed it,so much entertainment and loads of crafts and prizes,even provided packed lunches and an Easter egg on leaving! Brilliant value! Defo be returning! Thanks gunner!!!!

We stopped for lunch mid-week. The large lounge has large screen TVs on every wall, all showing football or horse racing - obviously a popular place for local sport-followers almost all of whom were men at the time of our visit. Despite the number of TVs, the background noise level was not intrusive and we enjoyed a conversation over our meal.

Great customer service and very friendly.... the food was amazing be definitely going again.... it was a great atmosphere and the menu was great to choose from....

We took our elderly mother to The Gunner for a mothers day meal. My mother is in a wheelchair and this pub has excellent access. The tables had been decorated and when we arrived chocolates were placed on the table. We ordered our meals and as we arrived all of the ladies were given raffle tickets to win a magnum of prosecco, a very nice touch. We ordered a variety of meals from burgers to scampi and Sunday dinner all of which were very nice. During the meal our server brought complimentary small bottles of prosecco for each lady and after the meal they gave bunches of daffodils. These little touches were extremely thoughtful and made the day very special. Overall the service was fantastic and all of the staff went out of their way to make us feel very welcome. Our mother had a fantastic time and we will definitely be back.

The gunner always has a good selection of sports on their many screens. The food is great, large portions and fair prices. Huge range of drinks to choose from. Couldn't ask for more out of a local.

Had lovely meal yesterday with the family.Great pub plenty of choice. gin went down well 🙂 looking fwd to the New menu.Will defo call again

My dad likes it and I love him. And I like the chips and toys (written by Ruby, 6 years old). The bar staff are very friendly and I love mam!

5 of us out for Sunday lunch all but 1 had Sunday roast, excellent value at £9.99 for two. Service at the bar and at the table first class .The manager Will was on the bar and Christine on tables. Drinks and food all very good.

Today my sister,myself and her grand children attended the Super Hero Party.

I've just moved from Manchester and love my new local. Everyones friendly, never any idiots, and made to feel welcome.

We have been to the gunner 3times and it will not be the last.the staff are brilliant and the food is spot on.

Excellent value for money £6.69 deal includes alcoholic drink if you wish I had a juicy hunters chicken wrap with plenty of chicken Staff really friendly and helped me with a high chair for my son Will visit again soon

Large family meal 14 of us . Served on the bar by Will the manager ,we had areal mix of meals off the menu . The service at the bar and at the table was excellent couldn’t have been more helpful. Christine was on table duty after serving came back to check all was well.

We booked a table for 10 for Xmas dinner family get together. We arrived and all was set up ready for us. staff were friendly and approachable,making us feel very welcome. We had our meal which was all pre -ordered. The meal was lovely and the fresh veggies delicious. Would recommend this pub for the friendly good value for money and welcoming attitude of the staff during our night out.

Just been for the Xmas meal and like last year it was delicious, great food and excellent service all told a very enjoyable experience

cold and wet outside so we called into the Gunner for our lunch we where met by the lady behind the bar with a welcoming smile started to feel better already ,warm comfortable surroundings with Christmas decorations adding to the atmosphere. Ordered our meals both had the gammon steaks arrived in a good time and hot and tasty,cleared the plate.The lady came to our table on two occasions the make sure everything was to our satisfaction, which it was no problems at all. thank you we will be back

Nice bar with a great atmosphere.

Went with friends thought we'd have the steaks what no steaks ok the pasta what no pasta ok fish and chips no,so we ended up with ham egg and chips hunters chicken loaded chicken.so in terms of enjoyment it was a fail.wont go again

Just had a delicious meal at the gunner, the service is fab, food is fab great friendly atmosphere would definitely recommend a visit 👍

There were 8 of us for lunch the bar was quite busy , Will the manager took our order we all ordered something different from the menu . We were served quite quickly even though it was busy , Christine served us quickly and very pleasantly nothing was a bother ,food and drinks were excellent, Joy Wills wife came to check all was well as it was.

Having lived in North Shields for only a year we have adopted the Gunner as our local, Joy & Will & the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and the food is always spot on whether it’s a bowl

No heating no tv working service very poor. whilst manager sits at end of bar drinking and ignoring clients complaints.h

We like this pub and food. We enjoy the lack of theme...pretention. It's a pub, with warmth, reasonable prices ..regulars and mist importantly... brilliant staff, pub staff, woh know their trade. It's a pub to stroll down to for reasonably priced drinks and nicely cooked, ordinary food. The staff are excellent... overall nothing pretentious and a traditional feel....mixed clientele says it all

Once again the Gunner put on an excellent party for the kids. A big thank you to all the staff my little boy and his little cousin had the best time. The tickets were free but the manager & manageress always go that extra mile, there was a kids entertainer they got food, a drink, cakes and also a big bag of sweets at the end. Thank you once again.

The Gunner is our local pub so it was great that they had a Halloween party on for the kids to enjoy. A magician with balloons and tricks was very entertaining along with complimentary food, drinks and sweets for the children! It's a lovely pub, great atmosphere and nice food. Staff are very friendly. Highly recommend!

Gunners new menu started on Wednesday 10th had to try it, quite busy hard to decide what to have ,opted for 11oz ribeye steak couldn’t have made a better choice, service was spot on staff couldn’t do enough to help , lm wondering what to have next time.

Went along to the gunner for the new menu. Loved the return of the criss cross a god send. Even managed to get myself a new balloon arch for the brains birthday on the weekend.

We all had a great time,the dj was very professional and his joe pasquale voice had everyone amused.My self and my wife and son had a great meal and over all i could not fault anything i would recommend the Gunner Pub to anyone, We will be back again.

Good after noon at the Gunner watching Newcastle play pity they lost, great atmosphere as always. Had a nice steak served by Lisa a very pleasant member of staff mind all the staff and management go out of their way to be helpful.

I had family due to visit and The Gunner is the nearest eating pub to my home. It seemed reasonable that we should eat there to save my wife needing to cook.

Went for food with my friend today amazing food amazing staff credit to the front and back of house made feel so welcome

I discovered this pub chain restaurant by happy chance when visiting North Shields with a friend in early May. I found the relaxed atmosphere & bar staff pleasant & ordered cheeseburger, skinny fries & salad which was very reasonably priced & arrived within 15 minutes & tasted just as good as it looked & would happily visit again next time I'm in the vicinity.

Have visited this pub a couple of times recently, great value. The food is cheap but the portions are good. Nice atmosphere will defiantly visit again.

Well, working up here for a few days and found this wee place. Parking for 7 cars plus one disabled park so be aware if driving. I was luck and found a park 1 block away. Hottest day in April since 1949 so as expected the place was rammed, noisy and staff overworked..so I had little expectations as though the kitchen staff would be banging food out at a fast pace, also knew I was in for a long wait as there was barely room to stand and I was extremely lucky to get a table just as the previous customer left .Well, I was wrong, staff, both serving and table service, were efficient, friendly and quick..I also didn't have to wait that long for my meals..which were cooked to perfection and sooo yummy..as I sit in my van typing this out in my ph I realise I forgot to wait for my dessert.. :( Apple crumble with custard..oh no..ah Well, the meals I ordered (2 as I missed lunch and was starving) were so large I would have been really pushing to have managed dessert anyway..sniff sniff..ah Well, I'll be back for Brunch and then dinner for tomorrow and again Monday and Tuesday.. then it's off down south again..Well done to the Management, waiting staff and kitchen staff etc..You all did a Top job to keep things running that smooth on the hottest (and most rammed) day of the year so far)

Great pub with a great humble atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was very good and arrived promptly. Would certainty recommend.

Visited with my family today, we received a warm welcome from all staff. They were all very attentive and accommodating to various requests. We ordered a mixture of starters, mains and desserts from a fairly extensive menu. Food arrived quickly, portions were very generous and it all tasted great!! We will definitely be returning

Thank you so much, we had a fantastic time at the family Easter party. Fab activities, entertainment, staff and food 🙂 We are always made to feel very welcome every time we visit.

Excellent Easter party hosted by William & joy Godfrey all free for the kids another one to beat. Decided to have food even though they catered for each child food wise My meal was prompt piping hot & delicious well worth a visit ☺

Out for a mother’s day meal, my son his wife son wife’s mother and myself , a loverly afternoon excellent service and really good food ,staff excellent Christine and louise on table service and Will the manager and Mark on bar could not have been better.

We came here this evening to enjoy a meal and a drink with my daughter for a belated mothers day meal. The staff were very welcomed especially the lady that was on shift behind the bar, the food was very prompt we had only been sat about 10 minutes and it arrived, food was delicious and so was dessert, would recommend to everyone I know who likes to eat and drink .
