Excellent service, disappointing Sunday lunch, slight redemption with an excellent sticky toffee pudding and good service. The three roast lunch had a very small piece of chicken and two small single slices of pork and beef, side of veg. Meat was disappointing, chicken dry, the beef fatty and the pork was fine. Veg cooked well and the service was very good, great with kids as well. Lovely setting, very disappointing lunch, think it was about £26 for the main so not cheap and offered very poor value for money. Kids meals were very good and the sticky toffee pudding for pudding was superb.

My family thoroughly enjoyed the festive menu, absolutely beautiful food and presentation the same, massive compliment s to the chef. Staff there are meticulous and very attentive to guests treating them with fantastic individual needs. We have been here lots of times and every visit has been the same. My son had his wedding night at No. 19 and my husband plays golf here which hosts the most fabulous course. Looking forward to visiting again soon also I’ve booked tea for two for my mam. Everything about close house is stunning especially the bacon sandwich early doors prior to golf

My wife rang early this morning and managed to book a table for us for Sunday lunch today. Probably thankful for the fact that Newcastle Utd were playing later and lots of potential customers were going to see the match. Anyway. Arrived in good time. Emily, our greeter and server was friendly and efficient. Lovely girl and had a nice table for two for us inside, overlooking the Swans nest outside. Nice feel about the place. Drinks served double quick and then we ordered two Roast loin of Pork dinners. The food was gorgeous. Plenty of it and cooked to perfection. After eating we sat outside for a while to finish our drinks before driving back home to watch the “Toon” win splendidly against Man Utd. A lovely day, spent in your classy restaurant. Look forward to coming over many times this year now that the weather is improving. Thank you to all.

Chosen by a former colleague for a lunchtime catch-up and an excellent choice. Lovely countryside setting overlooking the pristine golf course. This is the Clubhouse and the food is good, the staff excellent and the atmosphere welcoming. A little expensive for my taste so happy I’ll be putting this one down on expenses. Looking forward to returning very soon.

Wedding anniversary lunch. Arrived on time and ordered quite quickly, however the main course took about 30 mins to arrive, which we weren’t to bothered about, as they were very busy. Meal was excellent, and the sweets were delicious. Only slight negative was the golfers coming in and out but it is the golf club clubhouse. My wife’s only negative comment was that all the light fittings and lamp shades were covered in dust!

No 19 is advertised as serving 'comforting home food' in a relaxed environment. To be clear, this is simply AN Other Golf Club bar/grill and not somewhere to spend the evening unless you have just finished a round or have a room in the hotel. That said, the restaurant was clean, the staff friendly and despite the Weatherspoon-esque menu was satisfactory for the price.

We have stayed and eaten here before and it is good to see that the standard is still high. Nice welcome by the server behind the bar and as it was sunny we sat on the patio overlooking the putting green. The tempura prawns were good and the linguini carbonara was excellent. The pint of Hadrian beer helped. Good parking and helpful staff. I would definitely stay and eat here again.

This is the restaurant for Close House where we recently stayed and played golf. We ate here 4 times in 24 hours, 2 lunches, breakfast and an evening meal and everything was cooked to a very good standard. The staff were friendly and attentive. A slight downside was that it was operating a limited menu and clearly that is understandable in the current climate but everything we had was lovely and everything we saw being served also looked great

Una visita de regreso el 11 de marzo de 2020 para el almuerzo. Los alrededores eran agradables, solo 4 mesas ocupadas en el comedor, por lo que no estaba ocupado, sin embargo, más de 30 minutos antes de que llegara la comida, bacalao rebozado, guisantes blandos y patatas fritas fue mi elección. Cuando finalmente se sirvió la comida, se había cocido demasiado y todavía estaba empapada, no había nada crujiente y el color estaba en algún lugar entre un café fuerte y marrón chocolate. Debería haber sido devuelto, pero no fue por la espera ya interminable. Las damas de nuestro grupo también estaban decepcionadas con su elección. El cerdo del vientre tenía un crepitante gomoso y, para agregar a nuestra miseria, esto se hizo aún más desagradable por los ruidos ruidosos de algunos hombres que veían carreras de caballos desde Cheltenham en la televisión desde la habitación adyacente, todo esto sucedió durante un momento en que el dueño fue visto sobre el local. - Una visita decepcionante como en el pasado hemos disfrutado nuestras visitas aquí.

Hemos tenido varios almuerzos de domingo aquí y pensamos que eran de alta calidad y con una excelente relación calidad-precio. Nuestra visita de hoy, sin embargo, fue muy decepcionante. El pan estaba duro, los entrantes eran insípidos y se servían en grandes tazones, lo que dificultaba comer. Un plato hubiera sido más apropiado. Los platos principales eran más cálidos que calientes y todo parecía que había sido recalentado en un microondas. No nos quedamos en el desierto. No estoy dispuesto a volver.

Visitamos aquí para cenar y desayunar como parte de nuestra oferta de golf durante la noche. En la cena nos dieron un menú fijo de 3 platos o el menú principal con un límite de 20 para gastarlo (no es suficiente para nada más que un plato principal). . Tuve el chili y pimienta pollo entrante y 8 oz filete de lomo para main. El primer plato de pollo estaba un poco desordenado en un tazón, pero era bastante sabroso y el bistec para main era absolutamente magnífico! Era muy tierna para la grupa y se cocinaba perfectamente a medio. Opté por no conseguir un desierto, pero había algunas cosas para elegir. En el desayuno nos recibieron educadamente y nos ofrecieron té / café / jugo y nos dieron el menú de desayuno. No era más fácil ir para el desayuno completo, dada la opción. . Esto estuvo muy bien presentado y, aunque no era el más grande, era extremadamente sabroso y satisfactorio. Obviamente no es el lugar más barato para comer pero la comida de muy buena calidad. Las pintas de Birra Moretti fueron 5. 50 también que es un poco empinada.

Great sized portions without being too much and wastedFantastic views of the lake and the golf course during the dayLoved the veranda, we had lunch and drinks on there during the day and ate inside for breakfast and our evening mealOnly thing we thought was missing and would be nice is a lounge area for residents, rather than just sitting at the table after the meal as we ended up going back to our room a bit earlier than normal (although we had a lounge in our room so was perfect)But it is a meeting point and clubhouse as well as a bar and restaurant so maybe not enough room to accommodate thatHad a fantastic stay and would definitely re visit again

El ambiente era relajado y amable, y la comida era excelente, especialmente el queso de coliflor. Antes de nuestra comida, tomamos una copa en el balcón encantador y soleado y nuestro camarero vino a buscarnos cuando nuestros entrantes estaban listos.

Visitamos recientemente para una oferta especial de pescado y papas fritas. Un buen lugar, personal bien capacitado y en general un buen servicio. Sin embargo, la calidad de las patatas estropeó algo la comida. Su falta de crujía se agravó al hacer que los peces cayeran directamente sobre ellos en vez de hacia un lado. Es mucho mejor servir chips congelados de buena calidad.

Habíamos reservado una mesa para 7 personas (incluyendo niños) para el almuerzo y nos pareció que el servicio fue dado el lugar lustre falta. Nuestra mesa no estaba preparada para nosotros a pesar de nuestra reserva. El servicio de bebidas fue extremadamente lento (sin cubo de hielo para botella de Prosecco y niños sin alcohol eran perezosamente juntas). La comida era buena cuando llegó (en particular la casa burger y pescado goujons) pero hubo una confusión con el fin de niños (resuelto en 10 minutos). En general, tuvimos la sensación de que nos ataca en un día cuando los niveles de dotación de personal y el servicio eran bajas por debajo de la media.

Nuestra mesa estaba reservada para las 2 pm y nos quedamos sorprendidos de encontrar el restaurante muy tranquilo. La camarera tomó nuestra orden de bebidas luego de regresar rápidamente para pedir comida. El menú tenía una opción razonable. Sin entrar en nuestra selección nos pareció que la comida sólo le faltaba sabor y de ninguna manera lo hizo venir a ninguna de las comidas que hemos comido allí antes, pero no había nada específico que sin quejarse.

Nice surroundings and location. Service poor, very slow and each time we wanted to order or request something we had to signal to staff.Not enough menus so we had to wait. As a group of 7 and the restaurant wasn't full, it seems a little odd.2 baskets of dull chewy bread cost £10! It tasted and had texture of cheapest bloomer loaf you could find.Cheese soufflé starter was excellent, very rich and tasty.Steak was chewy served with greasy hand cut chips also large fried mushroom and half a tomato!£3 extra for a tasteless sauce. The dish would have been very dry without it. Sadly, the main course did not match the quality of starter.

First the positives: the food from the lunchtime specials menu (£16.50 for two courses, £20 for three) was very good with a reasonable choice to suit most palates. The starter cheese soufflé with a parmesan cream sauce was a meal in itself and the chicken main course, piled on potato and onion purees, both pretty and a filler. Those of us who had desserts were rather disappointed - the peach melba, a small portion of mousse with a few raspberries, bore no resemblance to the original and the treacle tart was dominated by the accompanying clotted cream. I left the oversweet pastry case.The main menu is pub choices - fish and chips, burger, steak, sandwiches - with bistro prices. My fault for not keeping up, but if you dined at Close House in the past, this is a very different beast and not terribly easy to find. My satnav led me into a dead end in Heddon on the Wall ('no entry to Close House') and the signing on the estate could be improved. One of our party got totally lost and never arrived. The restaurant is a glasshouse in the middle of the vast golf course, has terrible acoustics, golf on a big TV and, on the day we went, below-par service. There was a party of around 20 on the table behind us and I couldn't hear conversation from our seven. Although we had pre-booked, the staff did not seem able to cope with the amount of diners and the golfers arriving for food on the terrace. After no attention whatsoever for 20 minutes, we had to request menus.Not to mention an outrageous £10 for 'four' portions of bread (for seven though we didn't define how many it was for) - a total of 12 slices of mediocre bought-in loaf. I was also taken aback that my debit card was 'swiped' by the server, not me.If you like golf you will like the restaurant. If not, there are plenty of places in the North East with food of the same standard.

A lovely restaurant overlooking the golf course, good food and drinks, all reasonably priced. However, the front of house definitely needs some training. The quality of the service was not one you'd expect at Close House. First, we were not shown to our table, was just told our reserved table was in the corner. The waiter was asking for our drinks order when we were still trying to sit down and was giving us the menu at the same time. Bread plates and cutlery were not cleared for desserts. Some basic staff training would be good.

We were recommended to try No 19 and weren't disappointed. They certainly know how to deliver a great Sunday lunch, 3 of us chose different starters & mains and all agreed how tasty and well presented all courses were. My beef was pink & delicious others chose lamb & pork, good portions with fresh veggies, cooked to perfection accompanied with a agreeable Rioja @ £30 and worth it. Their wines prices are very good, not the usual rip of prices. The restaurant is spacious, contemporary and very smart. I notice a revue saying the service was dreadful, we certainly didn't find that the staff were attentive and friendly, we will certainly be back. I recommend you give it a try!

We have visited no:19 at total of 4 times in the last year and the service just gets worse.Every visit seems to be new staff but this could be a shift pattern.Staff training must be non existent going of our last 4 experiences.Our latest visit resulted in a catalogue of poor customer service e.g.We had to go and seek a wine list.Soft drinks served with one only half fullWrong wine quantities delivered to the table (it was only 2 glasses, how can you get that wrong)no milk with some of the coffeesA coffee was requested a total of 3 times before it arrived, by this time everyone else was finished.Another coffee was completely forgotten.The other previous 3 visits left us unhappy with the customer service.Is there any staff training?However, the food is excellent which is why we return but after this latest episode we are starting to question any future visits.If this review was for food quality then it would receive top marks

We had not been to Close House for many years, but were given a voucher to spend as a birthday gift. I had not heard of the restaurant at all, but was pleasantly surprised to see a recently built modern building overlooking the golf course and lake, adjacent to the House.We found the food very good, tasty and the Yorkshire puddings with the beef were especially good. We liked the fact that the vegetables were really fresh and cooked to order, since Sunday lunches can be a little bit disappointing if prepared earlier. This was just right, and the service was attentive and paced well. We did not feel rushed and also did not wait too long between courses. Great desserts too. Now that we know it's there, we will be back, with friends, to try out the evening dinner menu!

My wife and I had been intending visiting this place for lunch for ages and finally got around to it, we were not disappointed. Almost every thing the owner does, he does well and No 19 is no exception. It is set in beautiful grounds and all tables offer views of the two wonderful golf courses. We were welcomed by very friendly staff, who were brilliant throughout. The menu, although a bit limited, was inviting, and our food was exceptionally well presented and tasted great. We took advantage of the two course option which was good value. Why did we wait so long to visit............?

I never run out of superlatives to describe somewhere I have frequented but it is getting closer when I write a review about one of my favourite places - Close House.If you have read previous reviews I have submitted you know how I never need an excuse to visit and now look for just the slightest of excuses such is my affinity with this place.This occasion in particular was my Annual Charity Golf day and it was simply outstanding from my early arrival to my departure the next morning having had the absolute pleasure of staying in one of the luxury courtyard rooms - a review of which has already been submitted and please read it after which you will want to stay.The staff here will always go the extra mile and some to ensure the service & food are without fault throughout the day and it was nothing short of outstanding.On arrival I was greeted by Jonny & Kerry from Golf Services who both ensured that the day got off to a positive start by having everything organised from the scorecards to the buggies and helped me significantly which was as always greatly appreciated.The service throughout the day was simply superb with nothing at all being too much trouble for any of the staff and special mentions must go to Linzi, Lizzie, Hayley, Mathew & Cameron - apologies if I have missed anyone but you know that you make the visit complete with your professional and extremely courteous approach and you all worked tirelessly throughout the day and your efforts are always greatly appreciated as always.The food from breakfast to evening meal was simply scrum-diddly-umptious as always and can teach other golf clubs a thing or two about food quality and standard of service.This is a place you will never get tired of visiting as the surroundings the food and the staff will always make you want to come back for more -so eat your heart out Oliver as I always want more !!My golf day for next year was booked before I left such is my confidence in knowing how much people will enjoy being a part of it as much as I do.I have already been back with a further visit planned shortly.So keep up the great work Linzi and the Team and see you soon.

I visited here with family and friends for my fathers birthday. There was a mix up with the menu as the offers available in the restaurant didn't match the offers detailed online. Initially the waitress fobbed us off however having found the deal online the manageress honoured it 2courses and a bottle of wine for £40. The choices on the specials menu were limited but we were allowed to pick from the main menu and that was plentiful. Everyone said their food was tasty, the fish and chips looked fab and the spaghetti with prawns was delicious. We finished off with sticky toffee pudding which was to die for.The portions sizes for all courses were large and very filling. Overall the food was great. The restaurant was quiet so the service was attentive. There was a wedding going ahead next door but we were made aware of this when we called for our reservation. The only thing that I would say let the evening down was the wedding party's fireworks. The fireworks I'm sure were fantastic but the hotel should have ensured that the wildlife were cleared before setting off the fireworks. Obviously this is no fault of the restaurant staff but it was dreadful to watch the wildlife scatter with fright, in fact a duck flew straight into the restaurant window it was that petrified. Luckily one of the hotel staff was able to help it back to the lake after the fireworks and it appeared unharmed but really why have wildlife on a lake if you're going to allow fireworks right beside it. It really is cruel. Anyways a lovely meal, a lovely setting, good service and a good price but really felt disturbed about the poor duck! Thanks Laura

I booked a table for my family to eat at no19 as my husband & I were returning to close house for our anniversary and thought it'd be nice to eat there again. I called & booked in advance which is normally needed-to our surprise when we arrived at no19 we were the only people there not that this mattered. I felt the menu was smaller than previous visits but all our party picked a meal. We shared a plate of no19 nachos for start which were delicious. The main courses were as always unreal, although the steaks (which were cooked to perfection) looked small on the plates everyone was struggling to finish. Upon finishing the staff gave us loads of time before bringing dessert menus which was perfect as we all needed to find room for the sticky toffee pudding (which is to die for). My family & I had a wonderful meal & will definately return to no19.

I visited No19 for Sunday Lunch with my wife, 2 children (aged 3 and 12weeks) and my cousin. On arrival we were a little early but that was no problem and were shown straight to our table. The staff in the restaurant where brilliant and gave us the warmest welcome. My 3 year old was given a colouring book and pens as a welcome distraction giving the adults plenty of time to view the menu. We ordered our food and non of us were disapointted with our choices. The food was top quality and great value for money. Could not recommend No19 enough so if you are looking for a quality establishment with great food and a brilliant atmosphere choose No19 you will not be disapointted.

I visited last night with my family. The food was absolutely amazing. We all had the three course meal for £20 and, even though there was no vegetarian starter on this menu, they provided lots of alternative choices. I had goats cheese ravioli for starter, beetroot risotto for a main and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. All were delicious. Service was great too. My only quibble was the large TV on the wall, which was switched on all evening. I know No 19 is a clubhouse but I didn't think this suited the ambience of the place, especially for evening dining.

I reserved a table at No 19 on the back of reading good reviews and listening to peoples own experiences, for my wife's 60th Birthday Lunch. I asked for a window table as I was told the views are spectacular. Upon arrival we were shown to our table situated in the Members Bar, and close to the bar itself, which made it a tight squeeze when more than one person at a time was passing the table. We ordered two smoke salmon starters, four Roast Beef meals, and a Roast Pork. The salmon was good, and was a good size portion. Everyone enjoyed the beef which was cooked to there liking, and the Pork was awful, consisting of mainly large slices of fatty undercooked meat. The vegetables were good and plentiful, with the exception of the Brussels sprouts which were undercooked and far to firm. We ordered two Sticky Toffee Puddings which were very nice. We ordered some white sparkling wine, which was very nice, but weren't able to order a second bottle as they only had one bottle in stock. They offered us a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc which we enjoyed. Unfortunately however as we were sat in the members bar, there were many golfers enjoying an after round drink, and comparing scores etc etc from table to table, the result was you couldn't actually hear ourselves speak on our table. At the end of the day its the Golfers Bar and they pay a lot of money for the privilege of using it, so why oh why were we sat there trying to enjoy an intermit meal with my wife and elderly Parents ??? The chairs were very heavy and were difficult for elderly people to negotiate, and the table was far to big for five people to be heard when surrounded by enthusiastic golfers. The staff were polite and attentive, but seemed to lack a professionalism that one normally expects at these venues. Theres been a big investment in this place, but it just lacks a polished performance.

We arrived and found a lovely comfortable area for drinks and were greeted warmly and served very efficiently. Menus covered all areas, anyone could find something to please. Husband enjoyed his mushroom/truffle soup and was delighted to find a chef with great taste buds and a properly seasoned soup. Our mains of pork and chicken were tasty and substantial. No room for a pudding. The service was excellent.

I love a but to eat her, especially with a cold bear in the terrace after a round of golf. Always excellent service and you've got to try the steak sandwich and chips!

After having a wonderful meal in Argent D'or we decided to try 19 and werent disappointed. We were shown to a table at the rear of the restaurant which we later discovered was for non-members of the golf club, sadly the weather wasnt great but the outdoor area looked very inviting had there been the chance of any sunshine. We enjoyed a nice, quiet meal in a good atmosphere. The waiting staff were very pleasant.

We recently had friends down for a visit so decided to book a table at no19. We wanted somewhere quite relaxed but with an atmosphere!!The food was amazing-the proper homemade chips were lush-everyone's food was cooked to perfection! We all had sticky toffee pudding and ice-cream for dessert, it was unreal. Definately in my top 2! Will most definately visit again!

Had a great afternoon here with my wife. Great prices and the bar staff are tremendous. A big shout out for Claire the barmaid who couldn't have made us more welcome and went above and beyond to make our afternoon even better. This lovely lady saved us a great deal and welcomed us to a saving app. It's great. (Money off booze. Say no more). Thank you Claire. We definitely recommend this pub. It's stood the test of time and will definitely be here for a lot more years to come. Proper pub. Proper people and Proper bar staff. Thank you. See you soon 🍻🍻🍻

The William IV on High street is a local pub in Gateshead that offer a decent range of beers and was one of several pubs that we visited on a day out around Gateshead. A solid old style boozer that is housed in a traditional pub style building'the interior is again a traditional pub interior with lots of good seating options and an outside area at the back with extra seating options. I don't know why but I adore going to pubs like this as it brings me back to when I first started drinking many years ago and most of the pubs I visited where like this. This pub was very busy when we visited as where most pubs we went to in Gateshead and when here we had a couple of bitters from the John Smith's brewery which were well served and priced. This is another superb local boozer and is well worth visiting as the staff were friendly and they offer a well priced range of beers and is very easy to locate from High Street bus stop it's a minute's walk.(This is my first review of the William IV). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-10.00-23.30. Friday-Saturday-10.00-00.30. Sunday-10.00-23.30. Nearest Bus Stop. High Street bus stop.
