The sparkling afternoon tea was overall decidedly poor. The sandwiches were made of a selection of brioche, wrap and ciabatta bread and the fillings were sparse and bland. I had the end of the wrap which had no filling in and the ciabatta bread was stale! I called the waitress and explained and she apologised and took the plate back to the kitchen. They were replaced by a whole plate of ham and chilli jam ciabatta sandwiches which were a slight improvement on the original! The cakes were mediocre too. Another waitress arrived to take the plates and was again very apologetic and arrived with a complimentary glass of Prosecco. We love afternoon tea when we catch up, however this has to be the most disappointing tea we have ever had. The menu needs to be updated and both the sandwiches and cakes need to be improved to catch up to the quality of other afternoon teas in Newcastle. Come on Crowne Plaza

This had to be the worst afternoon tea ever. Not as described and photographed on the page! Different sandwich fillings, 1 small dry plain scone, dry selection of cake and tea served in a dirty teapot. This is case of false advertising! Website needs to be updated!

Looked forward to visiting The Gin Bar in The Crown Plaza, Newcastle last Saturday. However on entering this bar, we noticed that all tables were covered in empty glasses, although there were few customers. We asked for two Mason’s gins, only to be told that there was only one measure left in the bottle, where was the back-up bottle? We settled for Tanquerey 10, only to be told that they had no fresh lime or lemon. At that point we turned around and left. Staff weren’t bothered. We then headed towards Forth St and stumbled upon a micro pub called Beer Street. Two double gins, beautifully presented £11. Delightful! Well done.

Oh my, what can I say. To say the experience was amazing would not even do justice to the level of service we received from all the staff members but to single out two amazing and lovely people, then I could not praise Kath and Cassidy (from the restaurant) enough. The over all experience was amazing but the 2 girls made it 10, 100, 1000 times better.

We have been blown away tonight by our evening meal! After visiting at the begining of the year and having a few issues, we decided to give it another go and we are so glad we did! There have been so many improvements made since then! The service was amazing (thankyou so much Sara, your amazing at what you do!!!) and the food was very much enjoyed!!! We will be back in the near future

Decided to try Hawthorns for the 1st time for Mothers Day Sunday lunch and was pleasantly surprised . When we arrived there was a pianist playing a small grand piano in the foyer, which i believe happens every Sunday and not just Mothering Sunday. On arrival, we were seated promptly and drinks order taken. Meal was great, 3 courses - All very nice and well presented. Service was good but felt a bit rushed. Efficient can sometimes feel that way. I was chatting to the restaurant manager (New) who couldn't have been nicer. He explained about the live music nights they have in the Gin bar which im going to give a try. All in all a great experience - Nice ambiance - Live music is fab. (They need to publicise this more) Great food. Great Sunday afternoon 5*

Went for Valentines meal. Took half an hour even just to get a drink. Had to ask twice for kids menu (as did the table behind us). They seemed to have a good number of staff on but none voluntarily came over to the table. Had to ask them to clear our table after empty plates sitting for ages. The staff seem to spend all their time crowded round one computer terminal- maybe a more up to date system required? They were constantly setting up tables for new customers without sorting the ones who were there. The food when it came was actually good but the shine had definitely gone off the evening by then. Disappointed

We booked a table as we were also staying in the hotel during a busy GNR weekend. We were pleasantly suprised that there was a special GNR menu, which we went for, it was real vlue for money, and we appreciate it. The meals arrived really hot, fulfilled our appetite. The staff were attentive, we were very happy with our meal, and would highly recommend the restaurant. The 'normal' menu looks amazing, and we spied some of the meals being served which looked 'quality'.

This is our second Sunday lunch at Hawthorns. First time the beef was very tough , Yorkshire puddings we’re over cooked .Starters and dessert were OK . On our second visit we went for the chicken , it was dry and overcooked again thd Yorkshire puddings were again over cooked . Starters and dessert were OK. We’ve had dinner there before and this was fine. The staff were great and service was excellent, shame about the food , we won’t be returning.

The website allowed me to book lunch for the 3 of us during Covid but when we arrived the restaurant was closed however the Manager and staff were absolutely brilliant in accommodating us. They took us into the Gin Bar which wasn’t due to open until 4 hours later, served us drinks and the chef put together 2 large platters of canapés, 1 savoury and 1 sweet for us to nibble on. I can honestly say our socially distancing get together was made so so special by everyone involved at the hotel. A HUGE thank you to all the staff on shift yesterday from Sharon, Linzi & Linda x

We visited for dinner after eating here several times over the years and boy it has now reached rock bottom it was total Kaos and it wasn’t even busy. Young staff couldn’t be bothered,dirty tables, staff looked scruffy with no manners. It was very hard to believe that a 4 star hotel has such a bad restaurant they even got the order wrong even the young girl that was restaurant manager or supervisor was out of her depth no control. So if you are staying here do yourself a favour eat somewhere else till the management of this hotel get the restaurant sorted.

I have just returned from having afternoon tea, and was really looking forward to it. Sadly it was extremely disappointing. 1.We arrived at the restaurant, the staff were at the rear of the restaurant, and clearly saw us, but chose to ignore us, leaving us standing for 10 minutes, a simple recognition and I’ll be with you in a moment is just basic customer service. It all went downhill from there! 2. We were early and asked to be seated, they couldn’t accommodate us in the restaurant, but could in the bar area, this wasn’t an issue, or so we thought! It then took a further 10 minutes for anyone to give us a menu. 3. We asked for tea, after 5 minutes the tea arrived, we poured it and the milk was off, told the waitress, who said she would sort it out, instead of removing the cups and milk left it on the table.After another 5 minutes, we had to put the tea and milk on the bar and ask the bar staff to replace the tea. Again after a wait it arrived. At this point we had been in the hotel for 25 minutes. 4. The food then arrived, 3 finger sandwiches with extremely odd fillings. What should have been salmon, tasted like Shiphams paste. One with red onions and something that I couldn’t distinguish, the last was ham that was so thin and sparse you couldn’t taste it. We had a savoury scone and a fruit scone, no butter!!!! Asked the staff member at the bar, who said she would get some from the restaurant. She then continued to serve, clean and fold napkins for 10 minutes. She then asked another passing staff member to get some butter. Yet another 5 minutes wait. 5. The sweet treats- 2 pre made, hard pastry cases filled with a cream flavoured with mint and a “wild” strawberry ( a giant hard tasteless strawberry) a lemon meringue with basil flavour( not a snif or basil), a hard stale chocolate brownie, and a rhubarb trifle, this was a over sweet rhubarb, covered in tasteless custard and a crumble top??? Just all odd and nasty! Clearly no pastry chef in this hotel. I have to say I was expecting more from this afternoon tea, I have been to many in the local area and far flung! This one was one of the worst. The quality of the food was very poor and the customer service was appalling( some re-training on The basics, and the presence of a manger may be required).

I really can't understand the couple of poor reviews I've seen for the sunday lunch!?? I've visited twice now and the food was beautiful. Nice selection of starters, mains and desserts all cooked/prepared to a high standard. I found the service absolutely fine. Friendly informal and not as stuffy as some places I used to visit like Marco Pierre White. Theres also a nice warm atmosphere in the restaurant too. Well worth a visit I'd say!! I look forward to my next visit!!

Went for a family Sunday lunch with 7 in our party - 2pm booking through a travelzoo deal. Menu a little limited with 3 or 4 options per course, but we started off relatively well on the first course but a 35 minute wait after finishing we still hadn't being approached with our mains - after pointing this out we were told it would be another 10 minutes - on arrival most of the meals were lukewarm at best so after some discussion with the staff we we offered to have the mains cooked again - 20 minutes prep time.... these weren't complex dishes, chicken breast, braised steak etc... after a further wait time with no apology and conscious that we were getting nowhere with maitre de my wife complained to the hotel manager who agreed that our experience hadn't been unsatisfactory and gave us our drinks on the house & wouldn't cash in our vouchers - hence the 2 stars instead of one. Probably best to go elsewhere (Copthorne much better) even if it is a deal.

I booked Sunday lunch via Groupon. 2x adults and 1x kid. It's not the cheapest specially when you have to pay for the kid separately.The atmospher was friendly and cozy. The staff really friendly and happy to help.The food quality was as follows.No fresh squeezed juice available.Kid took from the kids menu (limited choices) fish and chips , quality was below expectation specially too oily.hence unhealthy for kids. The chef should really have dried it well before serving.The soup of the day was good.My wife took roasted chicken which she did not like (very hard)I took the fish dish of the day and it was really lovely.Deserts: we both took chocolates orange cake with fruit and it was average.it did not feel fresh but the fruit was fine.The service was really poor and very slow. No attention for details.My wife ordered chicken and she was given beef instead. After we raised this we immediately got a plate with Checken and brown sauce which feels they just swap the beef with the checken because also the sauce should be creamy from the menu and I presume it should be white. Actually,I've never seen creamy brown sauce before. Anyway, We discussed it and we were reassured it was the right sauce!!!Also you need to ask for everything, glasses, tissue, spoons etc.although it was not busy and enough staff around.All together, it was OK but really below the expectation.

Absolutely shocking service. We pre booked afternoon tea and we had a person in our group of 3 with dietary requirements. You would expect that when there is a set menu the food would be prepared beforehand and that they would be ready for the dietary requirements. However it took us over 50 minutes to get our afternoon tea during which multiple people walked out as they hadn't been served in a timely manner. We only did not leave as we had already pre paid. The restaurant was not even busy and it was swarming with staff that looked like they had no clue what they were doing. Once we got our afternoon tea most items were stale, despite being told the wait was because it was being made fresh. I do not recommend coming here purely for how bad the service was, however the below average food was also a massive letdown.

We were staying at the hotel for 4 nights and dined here on the first - Which resulted in us eating out for the following 3 nights. Service was dis jointed & chaotic, the restaurant was cold and so was the food. The menu was pretentious (or tried to be) which actually put us off rather than excite. One chose from the set menu which was a total let down. Really disappointing and poor experience

El almuerzo del domingo de Hawthorns fue una gran decepción. El servicio fue penosamente lento, nos llevó más de media hora llegar dos sopas y el tiempo de nuestros platos principales. Nos dieron una disculpa y una bebida complementaria por el tiempo que pasamos sentados esperando, sin embargo, hubiera preferido no haber estado sentado en el restaurante durante un período prolongado de tiempo, y que nuestra comida se presentara en un momento respetable. Servicio muy, muy lento, incluso pedir la factura tardó una eternidad. Muy decepcionado por la comida y aún más el servicio. No recomendaría a amigos o familiares en base a mi experiencia.

Hemos estado en el restaurante dos veces recientemente cuando nos hospedamos en el hotel Crown Plaza y en ambas ocasiones el restaurante ha estado relativamente tranquilo, principalmente lleno de huéspedes de negocios del hotel, lo que parece una pena dado el precio y la calidad de la comida. Mi esposo y yo somos personas muy entusiastas y a menudo comemos en restaurantes muy buenos, así que no esperábamos mucho de un restaurante en un hotel de cadena, pero las dos veces que visitamos la comida ha sido impecable y el personal ha sido muy amable. La primera vez que comimos aquí fue por conveniencia, la segunda fue eso y también porque fue tan bueno la primera vez. Los cócteles también son muy agradables desde el Gin Bar.

Staying at the hotel so decided to eat at the restaurant and wasn't disappointed. Really lovely staff that happily chatted away, giving recommendations that were excellent. The menu is small but all 5 of us ate different things and each was well executed. They had a 4th of July special menu that was fun and very tasty, the waffles being the best thing on the menu. Having learnt we were there to celebrate a graduation they added an extra macaroon treat that went down a treat and made us feel special. Congratulations to our waiter who had also recently graduated! Top night all round.

It was most definitely my third and last visit today at Hawthorns for afternoon tea at Newcastle Crown Plaza. Each and every time I have visited it hasn't been without a hitch. First time had a nightmare getting through to book a table, I emailed dietary requirements to which the waitress knew nothing about upon arrival, she said whoever takes care of the emails hadn't communicated and she would feed this back. The second time again a nightmare getting through to book, but eventually got there in the end only for a few days later to receive an email to advise the booking had been cancelled, certainly not at my request!! When I rang to ask why my booking had been cancelled they knew nothing about it and unsure as to why I had received the email as was still confirmed on their system. The third and final visit and by far the worst level of customer service I have ever experienced. Tried for 3 days solid to get through by phone to make a booking, each and every time it when straight to answerphone! Left a message with contact tel no- I am still waiting for that call back. I also emailed the hotel asking to make a booking, again still waiting for a reply. Eventually the only way I managed to book was to ring reservations and ask to be put though to Hawthorns. I was transferred through to the front desk who then transferred me to the brasserie. At last I was able to book afternoon tea!! The staff today were lovely, very helpful and polite but I can say I won't be back, quite frankly it is more stressful than it's worth and I can honestly say I don't know how the business stays afloat when nobody can get through to book. On a positive note at least we had the place to ourselves...i wonder why?!

Waited 50 mins for the afternoon tea. when spoke to a young gentle man his attitude was appalling when I highlighted this and that he was doing nothing to help with checking on my food he shrugged his shoulders. Spoke to the hotel duty manager who took my email details and advised he would feedback to the gentleman as he had had issues with his attitude before and would email me his resolution. Food when it came out was tasty enough but no reason to wait the time that we did. Still no contact from duty manager

Una noche no tan especial. Comenzó bien, pero se fue cuesta abajo rápidamente. Casi a punto de perseguir a los principiantes cuando llegaron. Éstos eran buenos, pudines negros no contenedores y la pechuga de pato curada con una tabla de pan. Ahí es donde terminó. Tuvimos que esperar más de 45 minutos para los platos principales, e incluso cuando lo perseguimos, nos dijeron que estaba en camino y que había sido respaldado porque la cocina estaba ocupada con los pedidos del servicio de habitación. Otro 10. minutos y persiguió de nuevo con el supervisor que nos dijo que se estaba colocando. Cuando llegó estaba bien, pero no valía lo que estaba cobrando. Carne De Res Y Arrecife Y Rump Steak. La carne era un poco grasosa, y dos pequeños langostinos para 24 gbp, caros por lo que era. Nos ofrecieron bebidas gratis, lo cual fue apreciado pero estaba manejando, así que no pudimos beber mucho. Era demasiado tarde para que pudiéramos disfrutar de un postre por el tiempo que esperábamos. Incluso obtener la cuenta fue difícil y se agradeció un pequeño gesto de reducción, pero la noche aún se había echado a perder y no lo compensó.

Reservado para cenar anoche con amigos, lo elegí como nunca lo había sido y me lo recomendaron. El restaurante en sí estaba vacío, aparte de otro grupo toda la noche, lo que me preocupó, pero está un poco alejado de todo, pero había una gran fiesta de Navidad en el salón de actos. Los camareros eran educados, la comida era buena pero tibia. Tuvimos que llamar la atención de nuestro servidor, quien se disculpó mucho y cuando llegó el final de la comida, sacaron el costo de los postres de la cuenta y nos gritaron una ronda final de tragos, que muy muy apreciado. Todos estuvimos de acuerdo en que nuestra comida era muy buena, independientemente de los problemas y que volveríamos, tal vez no en Navidad. Creo que se enfocaron más en la fiesta de Navidad de al lado que los pocos que estábamos en el restaurante. Vale la pena una visita, pero he tenido mejor.

If the booths are empty, they won't let you sit in them when ordering dinner. The waiting staff think it is acceptable to pass hot food over a babies head. The chef puts far too much salt in food ordered from the children's menu.

A brilliant night from start to finish. We were well looked after by Danny and Mike at the bar. Once in the restaurant Ryan looked after us so well. My elderly parents requirements were catered for, and service was wonderful throughout the evening. Food was delicious. We will be returning to dine there again soon. Thanks to everyone who looked after us. A family celebration made even better!

Decided to try Hawthorns for ne1 restaurant week with my partner. Service was slow...we never got our still water for the table.. for starters I had the soup which was gluten free on the menu but arrived with non gluten free bread. I asked for gluten free bread but by the time it was ready I was finished my soup. My partner's main course of steak was tough despite being asked as medium. We spent over 2 hours there...and we aren't slow eaters.

The four of us pre-booked as part of restaurant week: an enticing £10 for two courses and £15 for three. The menu was appealing including the choices for our vegetarian companion.

Bien, no estoy seguro de si algunas personas han estado yendo en un lugar diferente o delicado, pero de las 10 personas tener ayer el té de la tarde todos estamos de acuerdo en que era preciosa y quedamos muy impresionados! ! El personal era servicial y amable de principio a fin. No como algunas de las opciones de sándwich o podría haber (embarazada) y que no era un problema, ellos eran cambian fácilmente. Todos dijimos los bollos estaban deliciosos - sí ambos tipos y no eran sosas! La selección pastel también era agradable y una buena mezcla. De principio a fin hacia arriba y abajo de la mesa eran audiencia - mmmmm, yum, habéis intentado que es delicioso.

Mi madre y yo tuvimos merienda aquí ayer y fue muy decepcionante. El hotel y restaurante decoración eran hermosos, pero no había servicio de atención al cliente, de llegar a la brasserie a salir. Compré un cupón de 2 por 1 y todavía estar Social no creo que la experiencia vale la pena, a pesar de tener un descuento de 20 libras.

Tuvimos una comida estupenda. Bistec fue preparado a la perfección. No preocupa en patatas fritas delgado. Pero estaban bien cocidos y una guarnición de ensalada. Tarta de Limón podría tener un poco más de limón pero muy agradable en muerto. Personal encantador y amable y el restaurante tiene un ambiente fabuloso.

Visitamos con la familia para el cumpleaños de mi madre en una recomendación para el té de la tarde. Nos llevaron a nuestra mesa, y luego abandonados. Las bebidas del bar y pedimos un té para un conductor. A pesar de todas las bebidas calientes menú indicando está incluido en el precio, 2 bebidas calientes se ha añadido a la factura y sólo nos dimos cuenta después de volver a casa. Se destaca el té y pan llegó un poco difícil, sugiriendo habían dejado en abierto. Scones de queso carecían de queso y fruta scones sin duda carece de fruta. Otros 1 par a la izquierda y se quejaba del mal servicio y destacó que también era nuestra mesa ser ignorado. A pesar de que el gerente del restaurante, siendo conscientes de esto, ella no reconocer esto. Una solicitud para bebidas calientes se encontraron con una respuesta 'estoy con usted cuando me llega la comida fuera de la cocina. La mesa de al lado estaba repleta de platos sucios de una reunión anterior el total de 2 horas que estuvimos allí. Una persona que sirve a los clientes y atendiendo simplemente no obra lo suficiente! ! Me alegro había reservado con la oferta wowcher como habría odiado a pagar £19. 95 Por esto! ! ! Crowne Plaza fue recomendado - por desgracia no se lo recomendaré a otros.

Comimos aquí como me alojé en el Crowne Plaza. El restaurante es luminoso, espacioso y bien equipado. El servicio era muy bueno y la comida era muy buena y una buena lista de vinos para elegir. Este lugar era mucho mejor que Marco Pierre White en el Hotel Indigo que sólo puedo describir como horrible. Si estás buscando restaurantes en el centro de la ciudad de Newcastle no puedes equivocarte con este lugar.

Recientemente visité el restaurante para el té de la tarde y nos quedamos muy decepcionados. Después de oír tantos comentarios sobre el restaurante estábamos bastante emocionados de probar un tradicional, auténtico té. Después de estar abajo por 10 minutos té, sándwiches, bollos, etc., trajeron a la mesa que me indicaba algo no era justo.

Por desgracia, fiesta de Navidad con un grupo de amigos, nos sentimos overdressed y los niños llorando era desagradable. En realidad, el restaurante del hotel estándar. No muy festivo. Sin embargo, la comida era deliciosa y el servicio fue excelente. Habría dieron 5 estrellas si sólo el restaurante tenía los niños en un lugar y fue más festivo. No estoy seguro de que volvería, pero el bar gin es un deber.
