Pleased to Meet You in Newcastle upon Tyne

Absolutamente fabulosa cena del sábado por la tarde para mi esposa y yo. Nuestra primera visita y sobre todo fuimos a un almuerzo ligero, pero después de haber leído el menú entramos todos y no nos decepcionó. Nuestras comidas eran excelentes junto con un gran servicio y un ambiente relajado. Espero visitar de nuevo w

Organizamos nuestra fiesta de compromiso en la habitación privada del Virrey en la planta baja, la noche salió perfectamente, es un espacio tan hermoso! Muchas gracias a todo el personal, en particular Fred que fue más allá para asegurarse de que todo fue sin problemas. Sin duda recomendaría a otros en el futuro!

Tomé el filete de solomillo de 10 onzas con gambas al ajo y salsa de crema de ajo negro. ¡Fue el mejor filete que he tomado en mucho tiempo! Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Justo después de un fin de semana en Newcastle, reservé este lugar para mí y el aniversario de mi socio, al llegar nos colocaron en asiento de ventana, pregunté si podíamos movernos a otra mesa de dos asientos como personas borrachas en la calle de paso constantemente, inicialmente nos dijeron que no podíamos ya que alguien ha pedido específicamente las otras dos mesas disponibles , me pareció muy extraño y se inventó ya que no me permitieron solicitar una determinada mesa cuando los llamé para nuestra reserva! Estaba a punto de salir y cancelar la comida hasta que Martha se enteró del problema y nos ofreció la mesa. La comida es brillante, consigue más de lo que realmente podrías comer, tuvimos los hongos en masa madre (los mejores hongos que he comido) luego siguió con un pescado masivo con papas fritas y la novia tuvo la hamburguesa que dijo que era increíble, con un lado de queso parmesano Toda la comida era perfecta, las bebidas eran increíbles también, precio justo también, ya que toda la comida y las bebidas llegaron a alrededor de £ 60 marco Martha era increíble, decente y relajada, pero atento camarera hecho bien Y para colmo teníamos un plato de celebración sacado inesperadamente 5 de 5 y defo volviendo

La comida estaba bien preparada, buena comida estándar del pub - hay un menú vegetariano, pero tienes que pedirlo. El servicio fue muy bueno, rápido y amable. El ambiente del restaurante es bueno, si te dejas llevar por la música alta, camina por el pub.

Fantastic offer of 2 for £12 5pm-9pm Sun-Fri. We popped in here for a quick drink before a show in City Hall. Great value with the special as it is on all cocktails and they don't have to be the same. Amazing cocktails too, also really enjoyed the decor, service was friendly and quick. Would definitely have revisited if my stay in the city was longer.

This restaurant will not disappoint. The food was beautifully presented, flavoursome, with generous portions. I had the 2-course at £20 and chose the salad and corn fed chicken. Both were delicious and I was kicking myself for not taking photos. The drinks list is extensive, with some interesting cocktails. The decor is rustic and tasteful, with tables spaced well. The service was friendly and faultless! Congrats on a great establishment!

Everything was terrible, better off going to Mcd’s

Packed at about 5. 45pm Saturday afternoon. Vibrant, bouncy, worth a visit. Lacking variety of real ales, but then it's not 'sold' as a real ale bar.

I don't know how this place is because they want a reservation when their restaurant is half full.....

Beautiful three course meal for only £25. Each dish was perfectly cooked and served. Thank you to Martha for being so friendly and efficient to a solo traveller!

Beautiful three course meal for only £25. Each dish was perfectly cooked and presented. Thank you to Martha for being friendly and attentive to a solo traveller and first time customer

Pleased to meet you signature cocktail is amazing!

I have been here a few times, I and a friend were treated to a gentleman’s tea by our wives. Total disaster. Although the place was empty we were sat in a dark corner this was disappointing. As we had was ordered a week ago I would have thought it would be very straight forward boy was I wrong. The wives ordered the normal afternoon tea with some alterations ie no Egg (due to allergy) this seemed to beyond comprehension. You can’t change an apricot scone ( WTF) for a currant scone, oh we don’t have any pulled pork, what the heck has happened to this place it has seriously gone don’t hill. I will not be going back there are better places within walking distance.

Thank you for your attentiveness during our 3rd year anniversary celebrations. The food and drinks were good and nothing was a bother for staff. We like yo sit at a.specific table and they rang to confirm the correct one and at the end we got a complimentary dessert. So very kind of you. We were very appreciative of the service provided.

Now a bit of a tradition, we come here every year pre Great North Run. Nice place unfortunately only down side is a lack of (dark) craft beers on draught. Good range of flavoured gins. Will be back next year.

Great place. Possibly the best blue fillet steak I've ever had. Waitress couldn't be more helpful

1st time to this restaurant 6pm. Only 4 other tables were being used . Was shown to table ,member of staff was pleasant . Waitress came to take order drinks etc, came back later with drinks and took food order. My wife and me both ordered prawn Cocktail to start and pork belly and a steak for me with A side of bread . Prawns came out and straight away the Prawns were very dry and rubbery sauce was more like curry than a cocktail sauce . I didn't eat the Prawns as they didn't taste right, my wife finished hers as she was hungry. We told the Waitress that there's something wrong with the Prawns and she asked if we wanted new ones, we said no as didn't want that again. The mains came out much later and were OK. ( not the best steak I've had ) . We had deserts and asked for more drinks, they brought the bill instead. We asked where were our drinks . The Waitress said on there way. . Eventually they came and we asked for the bill. The Waitress said we have removed the last drinks order from the we said it was the starter we did not want to pay for as the Prawns were off. ..the next day myself and my wife both had upset stomachs ,really bad pains .. the only food we had . . Unfortunately our experience of you food was not that good . We will not be returning as we don't like feeling ill.

Pub/restaurant. Staff very good. Bistro type surroundings. Varied menu. You had better go with a big appetite. Huge portions. Biggest individual pie we have ever seen- perhaps if it was a little smaller there wouldn't be so much food waste and prices could be reduced. All the food was tasty enough. The sticky toffee pudding went a bit soggy as the pudding was swimming in sauce - perhaps should consider serving in a jug and then customers could decide how much to pour - couldn't finish as it was all like a bowl of soup.

The decor of the restaurant was stylish and the server was very nice with us. I had a fish and chips, which was tasty and had a large serving size.

Visited here a couple of weeks ago on a whim. We were walking around Newcastle, the sun was out and we were looking for a drink somewhere outside. Everywhere else was packed and we wondered in here as it was down a side street and a little quieter. Very relaxed atmosphere with a lot of drinks on offer, very reasonably priced for the town centre £10 for two decent lagers. We wondered out the back into a suntrap in the back yard with quite a few seats, again was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the main areas. We weren't planning on having food but had a look at the menu anyway, which we were pleased to find they had a dedicated vegan/vegetarian menu. Looking at the menu we decided to head through to the restaurant area from the bar, there was only a couple of other tables in there so again was very relaxed. Servers were friendly and attentive in the restaurant which followed on from the bar area. We went for the banana blossom fish + chips and the vegan burger - the food arrived and the presentation was spot on, however we didn't get too carried away as we are used to sub-par vegan food from the majority of restaurants... to our surprise the food tasted just as amazing as its presentation. Literally we were both just sat there in shock, with us both saying it was probably the best vegan food we have been served in a restaurant before. All round 10/10 experience so we will definitely be returning.

Nice place, delicious food and excellent service

every coctail measured out a rare thing in Newcastle last weekend. A new find we stumbled on definitely will be coming back 😀

A brief stop after a fabulous meal elsewhere. The air-conditioning was cranked up quite high, and the beer selection was more limited than I previously remembered. Still, it's a well presented gastronomic pub with an interesting addition to the signage outside!

Brilliant service from George, he is an absolute gem and is very knowledgeable of the menu. Food and drinks lovely, but George made the experience that much better!

Staying in Newcastle last week had a pint of Guinness in here and out of all the bars I drank in this was the best pint of Guinness 🍺👍

Excellent drinks and great customer service. We will be back! Paul Reed was playing on this Lovely Sunday afternoon.

Visiting from the States, we were drawn in by the enchanting music we heard outside. We decided to pop in for a cocktail and were delighted to find Paul Reed performing an acoustic set. His performance truly made our visit special, and we’re so glad we stopped by.

Cosy, chilled and great choice of drinks.

Overpriced drinks that tasted watered down. I dunno what that was I was served but it certainly wasn't Kraken. Not worth £1 nevermind over a tenner. And then elevator music blasted at 100db with a creepy guy sat in the toilets. Could have a better night out in the alleyway.

We enjoyed the wine and the staff were pleasant. The fish was overlooked and mushy. There was a distinct disinfectant/loo smell. The noise from the function room below became louder and louder eventually drowning out the restaurant music. There are much better more reasonably priced places close by so I would avoid this mediocre place.

My wife and I only went in for a drink, so can't rate the food or service, but the bar itself was very nice. Well done out and quite unusual decor, the restaurant looked really good and toilets were good and clean.

Horrendous prices for wine. I paid £11.85 for a 250ml glass!! Another similar venue, right next to the Monument, charge £8.20 for the same equivalent.

Booked this having read the online reviews and looked at the menu. First impressions good, nicely laid out restaurant, decent cutlery and glassware. Comfortable seating. Order taken quickly but quite a wait for starters. Soup good, mushrooms overwhelmed by rich and creamy sauce. Another wait for mains, sadly neither of which hit the mark. Topping for venison pie way too sweet and lamb madras also very sweet, too much clove flavour and not hot enough (spice wise). Didn't finish either main and left hungry and disappointed. Maybe things just weren't to our taste but no excuse for slow service on a quiet evening . Expensive even if it had been good. Sadly wouldn't return.

Had a works meal with colleagues. Food was very good if a bit pricey from the A La Carte menu, set menu bit cheaper. Service was very slow as not enough staff on a Wednesday evening. We missed our comedy show due to slowness of service, we arrived at 7pm and main course arrived at 8.45pm. Bit disappointing but food was quality.

4.5 out of 5. Visited on a Monday evening so it was fairly quiet but lovely atmosphere. Really attentive staff, Martha waited on our table and was lovely. The cocktails were delicious and great value at 2 for £12. The food is a bit more expensive than other eateries close by but the portions are huge. I don’t think I’d opt for a starter next time. The vegan/veggie menu had plenty of options but it would be nice to see a veggie option on the set menu as currently there is no suitable main. I ordered the banana blossom “fish” which was tasty but about 70% batter and quite hard to eat because it was so big. What I did eat was delicious and the chips and pea purée were great but a bit less batter would have been ideal. Everyone else on the table enjoyed their food, also commented on how large the starters were. Overall a lovely experience and will return :)

We enjoyed our meal here. Very relaxed service, a good menu, and our meals were cooked extremely well. It wasn't too busy, but still had a buzz about it. Worth considering when you're in town

A really great experience with delicious food and great service.

Food & cocktails was fab! Definitely recommend 😊

Lovely bar, chilled and friendly even if a bit over priced on some beers. Though if you pick through the choices there's some great ales on offer that are reasonable. Would definitely visit again

Ordered the Venison Pie and it was too sweet for me. The waiter asked if there was a problem and I told him it was not to my taste and he apologised but it was not their fault. What I did not expect was them taking the cost of this off our bill at the end of the night. That was so nice of them, they did not have to do this. The rest of our party loved their meals.

During my recent visit to Newcastle, my friends took me to Pleased to Meet You on High Bridge Street. The restaurant's vibrant atmosphere and historic setting immediately stood out, making it a charming spot for a night out. We started our meal with the scotch eggs and mushroom toast. The scotch eggs were flavorful, and the mushroom toast was a delightful appetizer with a rich, earthy taste. For the main course, we had the steak and salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection, maintaining its tenderness and flavor. However, there was a noticeable inconsistency with the steaks we ordered. One was significantly thicker than the other, which affected the cooking and overall experience. Despite the minor hiccup with the steaks, the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the dessert. The rhubarb crumble with ice cream was exquisite. The crumble was crisp, the rhubarb tart and sweet, and the ice cream complemented it perfectly, creating a delightful end to the meal. Overall, Pleased to Meet You offered a mixed dining experience. While the food was generally okay, with some standout dishes, the ambiance and friendly service made the visit enjoyable. I would recommend it for its unique atmosphere and excellent dessert options.

Firstly I so hard to please when it comes to good food, and also customer experiences. I honestly could not fault this place, from the staff to the amazing food. The food was amazing, and the dessert to die for. Thank you again! Keep up the great work!

If I could score more than 5, I would. I was hosting some friends from out of the area. The four of us had the Brasserie sharing platter, which was outstanding. Two of them are Guinness snobs and praised every pint they had. Each of them now want to take their respective partners there. Well done PYMY.

What can I say .. amazing atmosphere and food delicious.. but most of all the exceptional attentive and exceptional service from GEORGE was a delight His customer service skills speaks volumes.. an ambassador for the establishment. We have visited a few times and had the delightful service from him consistently.. well done .. we will be back .. keep it up amazing

Beautifully cooked Sunday roast chicken! Just the way I like it moist and my vegetables were cooked to perfection. Nice and green on the plate. You sure will see us again many times. Reasonably priced food and cocktails 2 for £12. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!! Staff were polite and friendly. See you soon!

We'd passed this restaurant the night before, and it looked cosy and busy. We went the following day when we wanted a late lunch c3pm and wanted a proper lunch for 4 people. There was a set menu which looked very good value, but we only wanted one course each so opted a la carte. The menu catered very well for diverse tastes. We had: Fish pie: large; a lot of mixed fish; good sauce taste and texture; excellent mash topping. Fish and chips: large; crispy; beautifully flaking large fish; good chips. Pork belly: refined; tasty; non-greasy a clever dish. Pie of the day: absolutely HUGE. Oxcheek in a red wine reduction, with a generous helping of mash and assorted greens. All of the dishes were very good. Service was friendly. Restaurant spacious with well-spaced tables, comfortable for lunch and would also make a great spot for dinner for freinds or a datenight. Really nothing to fault?

Visited here for drinks and food previously & have always enjoyed whatever I have had. Ate here early evening on Monday with my Mum…we were the only ones on the restaurant, which was a shame, but the food & service were great. Mum had fish pie & I had the 2 course special which was exceptional value, Mussels to start (the white wine cream sauce was amazing) & corn fed chicken which was delicious! The fish pie was full of fish, which we were told was halibut, salmon & I think, sea bass. Special mention to The samphire & seaweed on the side of the fish pie, utterly delicious! Would definitely recommend…ideal also if you’re staying at Motel One on High Bridge, as just a few doors down.

Good atmosphere and great cocktails

Been here before and it was lovely and it didn't dissapoint this time either. Its always nice in tynemouth on a sunny day. Busy inside and out but the staff were attentive. Me and the wife ordered a cappuccino, latte, 2 diet cokes, steak brunch (steak, sautéed potatoes, chorizo and 2 runny eggs) and a spicy Italian sausage (spicy Italian sausage, muffins, chilli cheese eggs - trust me it works!). Coffees were followed shortly by food, hot, fresh and beautiful. Steak was done perfect and eggs were runny and potatoes seasoned perfectly. Whole lot came to a very reasonable 35 quid. Genuinely nice place with a classy interior, nice staff and options to dine alfresco. Plus they do awesome cakes and treats. Will be back.

We came here for a work dinner with about 26 of us. I'd been for drinks before but never food and was looking forward to it. We were asked to pre order, which we did, providing choices a week in advance. We sat at our table at 8pm, whilst we were 2 big tables the rest of the place wasn't busy at all. The first starters appeared after 40 minutes, no explanation of the delay and we were at this point having a good time so just focussed on enjoying the food. I didn't have a starter but a friend had the mussels and said they were very good, others had mushrooms which they said were ok. I was looking forward to my main, which then didn't appear until 9.50pm. The whole main service was a disaster. Food came out at all random times, there was NOTHING said about the delay. I was so hungry by the time it came I would've eaten anything to be honest. I had ordered the Thai pork curry, the flavours were good but it was luke warm and the bread a bit soggy. We couldn't work out if the delay to food was a ploy to get us to buy more drinks and stay for longer, it was just bizarre. Given how late it then was, those of us who had pre ordered puddings cancelled these as we wanted to leave. Along with the wine I paid for, I was charged £19 for my main. The organiser spoke to the manager, there was no apology or even recognition that it has been bad, he just mentioned something about mis timing the starters and then delaying mains so they came at the same time, which is ridiculous as they came at completely random times. No money was taken off the bill, disappointing given the poor service and experience. I've given 2 stars because some of the food was good, but we won't be going back. So many better places to visit in the toon for dinner.

Wandered in on a Wed night and was so impressed with the food! Set menu is great value, and Tricia was a superb server. She made our night 😊

Wee Trish was a fantastic server. Great banter and service. Food was amazing. It was our last night in town and she definitely made it a success!! Cheers 🍻

George was the best!!! Such good service!!

The most terrible meal. We were the only ones in the restaurant. 45 mins after ordering we were told that the chef wasn’t happy with the pasta (how can you go wrong with pasta) so I had to order something else. My husband’s steak was cold and over cooked. When we said it was cold it was returned minutes later and warmed up and even more over cooked. The service was slow, with NO ONE in the restaurant. The table was by the window freezing cold. Not a pleasant evening at all

Best Sunday dinner in Newcastle

I popped in for a couple of drinks on a Saturday lunchtime. Service was good and the selection of drinks was large. Pleased To Meet You is in a good location and in central Newcastle. It's a pub that I can imagine visiting again with friends.

Packed bar on Easter Sunday. We had a quick drink here before heading down to the next place. Never run out of pubs/bars in the city.

The original PTMY located just off Grey Street. A quick pre-comedy club drink. Lots of choice of all types of drink and for me it was a simple pint of Moretti and for thirsty GF a 2 for £12 spicy margarita that she didn’t struggle to finish. Nice early evening atmosphere.

We were in the function room downstairs, the event was extremely well organised and the food in particular was delicious!

The first time the treatment was disappointing because despite it being half empty they did not let us enter without a reservation. At night, however, the treatment was different and they let us have dinner. Nice place and delicious food.

Meet up pub for night out . Quiet at lunch times

Not dog friendly! They have branches in tynemouth and Morpeth which allow dogs but they’re not even allowed in the bar. Nowhere in the website or anything. Can’t believe places like this exist in 2024 especially as it’s owned by the same people 👎🏻👎🏻.

Nice and cozy. Various cocktails and gins

I came here for the first time in a few years after the coronavirus. You can't go wrong, it's very delicious! The atmosphere is nice and the staff are always smiling. I seriously ate the soup appetizer, so I ended up leaving the main dish and dessert. As a Japanese person, the portions are a bit large for me, so I might avoid the appetizers or desserts. It's worth what you pay for it.

delicious food, reasonable prices, cozy atmosphere

Visited for Sunday lunch. Really enjoyed the beef dinner and they catered well for my daughter with chicken gujons. Very friendly and polite staff. We were shown to our table by a lovely and engaging young man called Charlie. All well priced for the quality.

Great afternoon tea lovely staff

We visited on a sunday evening. There was a live singer on in the bar area and we sat in the dining room. Great roast beef dinner and lovely fish . Sticky toffee pudding superb too, so good i forgot to take a picture. Excellent.

With a large table, slow service. 10 people. But the food is good.

Just had a really nice Sunday lunch, no supplement for ordering the meat pink, and served on a hot plate. Delicious sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Reasonably priced and very laid back atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Food was OK but they lost our order. So we had to wait 45 minutes for our starter. When order was taken a second time due to lost check we were then told several mains had sold out. One of which was included in our original order. Would I go again? NO

Mid price cocktail bar and restaurant. Cocktails are well made and good variety, good quality wines too. Excellent Sunday dinners with good portion sizes to price ratio. Table service was hit or miss on a half full restaurant (several checks to see if everything was ok/if you needed anything but very slow to bring basic things like the dessert menu). Would still highly recommend and dine here again.

Lovely cocktails! 2 for £12 on weekdays 3-7pm, and can mix & match any on the menu. Also, the food is delicious, I loved the ox cheek!

Atmosphere wasn't too bad. Friendly door staff. But the service at the bar - which wasn't that busy was horrendous. When I eventually order a double gin and tonic, I was charged £10!! Disgraceful price and poor service. Will not be going back.

We had afternoon tea for 4,we managed to get a deal on wowcher,£57 including 2 bottles of prosecco,really good deal and staff were good.

Was give. A wicker for afternoon tea including fizz for my birthday last September. Finally got to use it today (3/2/24). Our son decided he was going to come but did t want afternoon tea. We got there early and were seated straight away. Boy decided on Childs fish and chips and advised they were lovely. We got the afternoon tea and it was amazing. Finger sandwiches and some sausage roll (which the boy pinched half of mine( Our afternoon tea arrived and everything was lovely. By this point the boy had finished and started on our cake desert - never got a chance to taste the mini eclairs or the brownie lol. Would totally recommend it x Food, service and ambiance were all 10/10 and can’t wait to go back xx

Lovely food but just the same as Christmas Poor service No one comes to ask is everything ok No asks do you want another drink Had to ask for another drink . It didn't come has to ask again Had to ask could we have a dessert Complained to management at Christmas via email It would be passed to higher management. Nothing has changed Pity. The food is very good

Ok Frank and honest review . Don't leave many . Arrived difficult I suppose time of day clean up from lunch at 1645 on a Sunday . Lady who meet us good explained missing lines etc and seat us promptly. Then I am sorry to say went down hill service wise . The lady who took over didn't smile or interact at all . I do believe realising later. We ordered then wine took ages until I reminded I think the manager . Who went to bar which I could see and hadn't been done not the end of the world . The starters arrived and sorry to say my sauce on liver was stone cold but flavours good and my wife's salad amazing . Next no check back and waited at least 10 mins for waitress to look up from computer and order another glass of wine which was brought immediately. The mains arrived a sharing chateaubriand which was 2 steaks sliced across see . Ok taste good but not what ordered. Sauce perfect and sides excellent apart from so called triple chips . Ie deep fried potatoes with many black marks in them. And no check back until 20 mins after delivery. I don't write this to be critical but to offer a restaurant constructive feedback . I paid and actuallly as we were given check the bill offered an option to leave a tip or not which for the first time in years I decided not to. I think she understood . When leaving the gent and lady turned backs and ignored us. Ohh well Sorry to write this but at times feedback is positive

Had a lovely dining experience here. Food and service were excellent, and they brought my Dad a wonderful decorated Brownie plate as we were celebrating his birthday.

Decent Guinness which is hard to find in Newcastle, cocktails were great and a huge gin selection.

Great setting, delicious food and lovely staff. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Booked afternoon tea for our friends 60th birthday. Arrived and were seated and served our Prosecco. Then we sat and waited and waited with no sign of the food. People around us were served and one couple arrived after us and had eaten their meal and we were still waiting. One waitress came over and apologised for the wait and offered us another bottle of Prosecco. However even after this we were still kept waiting another 20 minutes. When it arrived we were told there had been a problem in the kitchen. We asked how this had seemed to only effect us but staff were unable to answer this. Once the food arrived the sandwiches were dry and the bread hard as if they had been made much earlier. We informed the staff and she said ‘sorry’ then walked away. Al in all very disappointing for what was meant to be a special occasion

Not a bad place but stinks of wet dog

Heerlijk gegeten, leuke sfeer. Fijne bediening.

The food was amazing can't speak highly enough of it, can't wait to go back.

Wonderful afternoon tea with prosecco. Catered for a dairy free option very well. Service exceptional and Isobella and other servers very helpful.

I do like the place I tried the phasent it was nice they place is trendy little bit up market it's nice the service was really good the have a reaturent on one side and a bar on the other had a few drinks in the bar so it is a nice place they serve a lot off alcohol a I think they a have a large selection of gins

We visited as a group of friends for an evening meal. Table was ready and the venue interior really suited the location of the cobbled street. Our service was really good. Friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Good job! The food came all together ready for our group to eat. All the food was cooked as requested and tasted amazing. The chargrill on the sirloins steaks was to perfection. The beef burgers are really good value for money with high quality ingredients. Overall the location and food was 100% and I would go again.

Hate the city, but if I do ever go into said place. This place is decent for a few drinks.

Great spot for cocktails and decent food. Sunday lunch is pretty good, always a family favourite.

Fantastic bar. Its our first time in this little gem and we loved it. My partner and I were with another couple who also loved the ambience and atmosphere

I would like to begin this review by expressing my positive experiences at PTMY Newcastle over the years. However, my recent visit on 23/12 turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I have ever had. My housemates and I had a table booked for 7:15pm, and despite arriving early, the staff managed to accommodate us, which was great. Initially, things seemed promising as a friendly Irish or Scottish girl took our drinks and food orders without any issues. Although the starter took a while to arrive, it was within a reasonable timeframe. Unfortunately, the situation deteriorated rapidly from there. For over 40 minutes, none of the waiting staff approached our table. They didn't check on our food, take additional drink orders (despite us finishing our drinks), or clean the dirty table next to us. Eventually, someone cleared the neighboring table, but my housemate had to ask the girl if we could order more drinks. After that, we didn't see her for quite some time. We were left feeling confused and frustrated. There was no sign of our main courses, no explanation for the delay, and no one attending to the cleanliness of the area. It became increasingly disappointing. Finally, after about an hour and a bit (including the initial 40 minutes), our food arrived. I ordered the Christmas dinner, which was incredibly underwhelming. It lacked flavor and was disappointingly small, with no pigs in blankets (this was never included, just can't believe you would have one without pigs in blankets). Although my housemates enjoyed their meals, they weren't anything extraordinary. At that point, we decided to salvage the experience by ordering desserts. All of us opted for the sticky toffee puddings. However, I strongly advise against choosing this dish. It was clearly microwaved, as the cake arrived mushy and lacked the fluffy texture a proper cake should have. The sauce resembled water and was utterly pathetic. If I may offer some advice to the chefs, I would suggest leaving the cake as is and heating the sauce on a stove before pouring it over the cake. Alternatively, the cake could be kept under a hot lamp. Microwaving it only turns it into a mushy mess, indicating a lack of care in its preparation. One of my housemates couldn't even finish hers because it was just awful—I wish I had her willpower. I would like to mention that there were only a few other tables occupied, making it a quiet evening. Unfortunately, the waiting staff performed poorly that night. Having worked in the hospitality industry for over 5 years myself, I would be appalled if any of my staff behaved in the manner they did. There was no friendly banter or conversation, no interest in our experience, and no explanations provided. It truly felt like it was everyone's first night on the job. While I typically refrain from singling out specific workers, I genuinely believe that those who were on the restaurant floor that evening should consider pursuing a different career path. I won't be returning to PTMY Newcastle.

Just called for a drink with a friend. Really nice comfortably atmosphere.

Brilliant food, pear salad, Hake, Sunday roast all great and very reasonably priced. Thank you

Bar staff are always spot on and beautiful people 😍

I've reviewed a lot of Sunday lunches over the years and said some good things about them but "Pleased to meet you" is by far the tastiest I have ever had. From the mash, wow, to the red cabbage, broccoli, roasties and Yorkshire puddings and the pink roast lamb. Absolutely fabulous every mouth full. Not the cheapest but worth every penny. Oh, and if you can stomach them, try the Oysters. Amazing.

Went on Christmas Eve and we loved everything! Great value, creative/delicious cocktails, friendly service, and, of course, delicious food! If you like gin, it's a must visit (You'll still love it even if you don't have any gin).

My husband and I called here after Christmas shopping for a festive Christmas lunch but we were very disappointed the fig and game terrine was bland and the Turkey was grissly the roast potatoes were tasteless served with a few measley sprouts you had to pay extra for pigs in blankets and more vegetables I had to ask for cranberry sauce !! The young girl serving us was very pleasant the only thing we enjoyed was the white wine Such a shame as it is lovely inside

Lovely breakfast menu and a nice cafe vibe considering it's a proper pub on an evening
