Powder Monkey in North Tyneside

Great pub, really friendly, staff were so nice! We were made to feel so welcome..

Great customer service, friendly staff so you are always greater with a smile. Food is great and they pour a canny pint too

Spent 17.50£ per head for a disappointing xmasadinner not proper turkey frozen vegetables undercooked yorshire puddings very hard to cook roast potatoes terrible ,and Christmas pudding so meagre will not go back again .

Food was beautiful, nice friendly staff

The servers especially Faye and Sadie are fantastic

The fish need to be cooked a bit more. But the coffee is nice even if the cup was a bit full afters was nice I recommend chocolate sunday and the chocolate cake was very nice chips was good so was the beans where ok to. My son had scampi he say it was lush but his peas where a bit cold the chips where so good as he say .I did ask bread and but wich was nice but I ended up with Wight instead of brown. Wich did in the order. Over all I think a far score is 4 for the place I would of gave it 5 but the fish needed a slightly bit more time in the pan.

I took my friend for a nice quiet Birthday breakfast. Ellie who was serving was very pleasant and nothing was a problem. The food cooked my Sarah was lovely.

What a fantastic pub. Food is lovely, beer even better but what makes the difference is the staff. They are so nice and welcoming. The bar staff are amazing but the young servers deserve a special mention. Well done to everyone involved. I would highly recommend

We go there most weekends as it’s a nice place and staff are very friendly

Eat here quite regularly, food is always great I prefer this to other sizzling pubs in the area. Staff are super friendly and always look out for their customers.

Our meal was very nice, an Italian lamb, scampi and chips and a hunters chicken with salad. The salad would have been better with cucumber with the tomato and lettuce. As for the desserts, husband asked for apple pie and custard which he got. I asked for one mango yoghurt. When asked which one I said the one with two scoops. We ended up getting and being billed for apple pie and two of those - Mam had one rather than take it back, it was also her turn to pay this week. The waitress looked new to the job, could do with a bit more practice. Looking at answer from owner it shows what kind of people opened this place as he or she can't even spell correctly. I suggest using a spell check in future.

I took the family(10ppl) for a meal here and wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was, it was actually one of the nicest pub meals I have had I ordered first round of drinks at the bar, there was about 2people waiting to be served before me, staff need to notice who's next in que, as someone came in after me and jumped ahead of us(could have been a friend of the server), but nevertheless I got served I ordered the food via the app which was easy enough to use Didn't have to wait long for the food, very good service and polite waitress The food was absolutely lovely, everyone enjoyed their meal Nice friendly staff Good atmosphere Highly recommend We will be back

Great pub. Great staff. Great food. Great atmosphere!! Great age range. Love it.

Excellent food. Excellent service by Joanne, she was happy and friendly.

Good pub food at reasonable prices, but no Earl Grey tea.

Chicken burger and the beef ribs were lovely. Good service. Very clean toilet.

Good local pub, plenty of choice, food is very popular and children allowed in until 9pm. Lot's of tv's to watch sports. Staff are polite and professional. Friendly pub would recommend a visit.

Went In at 4:30. Bar staff were fantastic. Ordered mixed grill with rare steak. Chicken, gammon and sausage cooked OK, decent. Rare steak was way overcooked (well done), onions, mushrooms and chips underdone. The menu change is not great either.

Good food but had to wait quite a while for our food although the pub was not busy.

We did manage to be in the pub when manay people had finished work in thr bar area so it was loud. But good atmosphere.

Food lovelly service a bit slopy didn't bring spoons for dessert

Food and service fantastic. Lovely atmosphere. Nice and clean.

Carmen, Jean and Michelle in the kitchen were perfect! Came in with a party of 18 and nothing was a problem. All round amazing service! Food was amazing as well

Jean and carmen were absolutely amazing in terms of making sure we had everything we needed and making the birthday we were celebrating that much better. Michelle in the kitchen made sure all the food was amazing.

Unfortunately my visit was a massive disappointment! The food was probably the worst I have ever been served here 🙄 It was so bad that I will NEVER go here for food again. Can't fault the staff.

We had sizzling chicken and chips and sizzling halumi with rice tasted lovely and nice and hot staff were so friendly and attentive

Food was nice we had sizzling chicken with chips and sizzling halumi and rice Staff were really good and fast when we orded really enjoyed our time here

I booked the conservatory for my husband's 60th surprise party. The staff were amazing. Everything was done to perfection. Everyone at the party praised the lovely buffet. I couldn't have wished for a better night. A good time was had by all.

Staff and food and drink were spot on

Staff were amazing with us. We have had a hard and stressful day with car breakdowns, missed ferries and improvised repairs. What we needed was a little hospitality and we found here was far beyond that. A smile to welcome, football on the telly, and a nice cold pint has completely rejuvenated us and allowed us to look forward to our adventure with hope. Amazing what a little comfort and atmosphere can do!

Staff we nice and polite, I'd say this was more an upbeat local bar. Food was pretty bland and expensive for what you got we would have given it a 3/5 overall but dropped to a two when my 3 year old daughter told us her corn on the cob was cold - when we checked we could see it was actually still frozen, we asked for it to be sorted they must have microwaved the same piece for a minute and sent it back out with the poor kids teeth marks still in the corn. Also they forgot to bring out her pudding, we had to go and ask them about 40 mins after her lunch. *I can see the value has replied below - we were only visiting for the weekend to see family - their feedback is that it's usually brilliant food and they are regulars there, so there is no need for us to call or expect any thong from you and in the staffs defence it was very busy that night with birthday parties etc, so we can see how things get overlooked but they were still worth mentioning on the review. Best wishes Jon

Great value, nice place, good atmosphere, recommend.

Popped in for a friend's birthday. Staff friendly.

Nice meal, l friendly staff in comfortable newly refurbished surroundings

Food that was ordered together didn't come out together. One of our party waited ages and ice cream was melted by the time it was brought out. Plates only cleared from half the table and left there when deserts were served. I won't go back.

Great food. Very timely service. Nice relaxing atmosphere

Bar staff great food absolutely disgusting

First time been today. Would highly recommend. Staff was very polite n helpful. Food was lovely and cheap as well. Will defo be back x

Went in with 4 grandchildren . Food came my chicken burger was shocking. The macaroni cheese must have came out a tin. My grandson steak was fatty. We had puddings that did not reflect on the description. I spent 90 pounds which i expected to ( not for poor food) wont be aranging to go back . Dont go expecting decent food .

Cracking pub, cracking staff and amazing food. We travel from blyth just to come here. Best local pub I’ve ever been to.

Great staff and great atmosphere

I highly recommend coming to this pub for families, couples. I moved to blyth and travel back all the time to eat here. Staff here are lovely. Top marks!!

My son ordered steak when it came it was blue , he does like rare but thiz wasn't cooked, it was took back 2 times to be cooked more ,still not changed was blue At the finished we asked the girl to take it away , no offer of a free drink or dessert or money back , waste of money , Disappointed isn't the word

Came in on a Sunday for food. Service was quick and the food was lovely. Will definitely be coming back.

Drove past and saw they had a new menu so decided to pop down for tea, I had the chicken tandoori skewers and they were absolutely lovely, the rest of the family had enjoyed the meal aswell. Always a good atmosphere when we have been and nice to see a change to the menu.

Went for lunch and to check out the new menu ,was not disappointed,we were served fairly quickly at the bar ,couldn't fault the service from the start to the end , the food was delivered to our table in a reasonable amount of time , we ordered the chicken feast and the boss burger ,the food was very well presented and tasted even better, definitely return soon .

A lovely friendly afternoon with family,,very relaxed atmosphere,,staff friendly, polite and easy to talk to,,food was lovely

It’s rare when a new menu comes out that you get more! This was the big breakfast I got this morning, truly sorted me out!

Food was spot on lovely salad and ribs! Staff very attentive and welcoming massively recommend and new menu coming soon apparently!

Ordered 2 bacon n egg sandwiches with 2 sides of beans.my sandwich was undercooked,egg(very gloopy)with a soggy bun and undercooked bacon.our beans never turned up so I approached the bar staff to get a refund and to be told my beans hadn't been ordered yet I got charged £10.54........this does not tally with the price on the menu.its a shame we've used this place for years but one too many mistakes for me.i did attempt again to clear this problem up but standing waiting at an empty bar with no staff around to clear the refund up was beyond a joke

Good pint and they take contactless payments on the pool tables.

Absolutley lovely staff, beautiful food these that complain clearly never get out much cant fault this place in anyway, good offers on cocktails and other drinks, brilliant atmosphere very welcoming .

Since this pub was refurbished the food coming out from the kitchen has been rubbish. Below standard and over cooked.

Came here today to celebrate my mother in laws birthday as we had already reserved our table we waited to get shown our table.As there didn't seem to be anyone available after a 20 minute wait my husband finally found our table.We ordered our food and drinks online we were there for 2pm didn't get our drinks until 15 minutes later than were told our meal would be 30 minute late as we had already paid we had no choice but to do that. It came actually 40 minute later I told the woman it was disgusting waiting this long she said that there was only her and someone else on hand so obviously need more staff,although the food was nice when my husband asked how long the delay would be on the dessert she said 45 minutes!!! We just left after that your service is appalling and I won't ever eat at this place again!!

Booked a table for 2 o'clock. Arrived five minutes before. After waiting for over 15 minutes i wandered off to find the table I had reserved. The app was slow finally ordered food at twenty five past two. Then I was Informed that there was a half hour delay. When at ten past three we finally got our food, I asked if we ordered pudding how long it would be and was told it would take forty-five minutes.I decided not bother. Very disappointed with the service i think it takes the mick that when you pay on the app the first thing it asks is what size tip you were giving. Left feeling very unsatisfied will not be going back. This establishment has certainly went downhill in the past year seems to be very under staffed.

Had xmas dinner there they were great always make you feel welcome we go there every year x

Good food, great service brilliant price

Friendly staff great service, a very popular place

Lovely pub, typical chain pub food so nothing amazing but definitely worth the money paid, and great staff.

We have just had our Christmas Dinner here food was lovely service was great as we're all of the staff. Thank you Merry Christmas to all

Friendly service and food was lovely

Thought I give the powder monkey a go as wall_end was closed got a breakfast came out cold sausage was hard very disappointed was looking forward to it the place was clean and friendly

There was a long delay waiting for our food. No maple syrup was supplied with the waffle meal and we had to remind the waitress of a missing meal. There was not enough staff on duty.

Food was not anywhere as nice as precious times. Mine came out later then the rest of the meals as I had to ask where it was, the chips were also half done too. The pint tasted old and flat, the nicest part of the food and drinks I had was the Pepsi my partner had

Lovely food staff always friendly and efficient. Meals served quickly.

3 for £11.95 ideal with few beers 🍺

Popped in for lunch. Been redecorated since last time was in so it looked good. Enjoyed the meal and handy to pop in to B & M. Would go back there again. Would recommend it.

Lovely fish chips. Well worth the money.

Service excellent, all staff especially Allyson very friendly will definitely visit again :-)

Cold chips 🍟 cold curley fries sent back. as your paying for more for the curly fries i expect better

The food was amazing thank you to Sarah, Aaron and Tilly for the amazing food and all of the bar staff including becka, definately recommend to others great atmosphere including the quiz on thursday evenings.

Good service from helpful friendly staff.my wife and I had fish and chips the fish were large and tasty.Good value for the cost

Went to the powder monkey for a meal with friends for husband's birthday and the atmosphere was fantastic we had an amazing meal the staff were very friendly and welcoming.highly recommended for food

Lovely local pub, recent changes in food serving times and early closing on some days so check first but wouldnt stop us going again and again

All the staff were very friendly with great service! Food was amazing and great value for money

Greeted with real warmth and friendliness. Showed to our table. Went and ordered our meals. Came promptly. I had sizzling chicken fajitas and my husband had the hot dawg (which he said was amazing). My fajitas were fresh and delicious. Really enjoyed it.

Fantastic staff and delicious food. Couldn't have asked for anything else, the help to get food to accommodate gluten and dairy allergies was amazing. Thanks for a great lunch.

Accommodated 15 of us Food arrived quickly

Friendly staff, lovely, clean family friendly pub. Great food.

When ordering was told food would b 30-40 minutes, came out after 35 minutes and was all nice and well cooked. Ordered sweet at same time as mains and had to wait about 20 more minutes was told they were short staffed AGAIN.

First time here, early on a Sunday afternoon and the place was less than half full, so was wondering why. We didn't need to worry. Meals turned up quickly and were excellent. We both had the standard mixed grill ( brilliant idea to serve it on a bed of sizzling onions ). So glad I didn't opt for the large option, would never have finished it. Will definitely be going back there soon.

The staff are amazing and the food is really good value

A large ,busy and friendly place .

What a fantastic team here, with a lovely atmosphere, great food and exceptional customer service. I came for drinks with a friend, which was lovely, quick and friendly service by Carmen and Jean. My children with multiple allergies came with my husband to have a meal later in the afternoon…we are often nervous when ordering them food but we have never had such unbelievably good service and care for our family than at The Powder Monkey…the chef Michelle personally came out to discuss once we had ordered (we hadn’t asked her to, it was because she cared so much). In 4years of going through this process, we’ve never felt safer and happier to enjoy a meal (which was DELICIOUS!) The food was served by Ellie, who was a delight as well. This is one of the nicest pubs we’ve ever been to and shall DEFINITELY be returning!!

My friend has a gluten allergy and usually feels uncomfortable coming out for food but the staff at the monkey walked her through all the steps and helped her safely chose a meal with their glass onion app- absolutely amazing!!! Then the same staff member came out with the cutlery and food and my friend said she felt really safe because of this. Thank you once again

We booked last minute for the final and could not have received a better reception from the staff here. Outstanding service and incredibly welcoming! Very quick table service and We would like to Thank Ali for her amazing customer service we couldn’t have asked asked for any better I would absolutely recommend this pub!

Brilliant service, excellent pub.. very friendly. The staff go out their way to make your visit the best possible. Genuinely lovely place to go 10/10

We have visited twice now in the last few weeks and have been impressed both times. Great value for money, food is lovely. The staff are absolutely great, always welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Extra big thank you to Ellie, she was fantastic with our little one today and was so friendly, he really liked her and commented how nice she was, her service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

Second night out post COVID- Once again we are amazed at the kindness and hospitality we received the staff even now know our names- used the app was great. They even came over before the bell to see if we wanted anymore drinks (obviously we did) and have us full table service, I actually hardly ever write reviews unless I’m blown away and blown away I was they even kindly rang me a taxi! Can’t wait to be back again soon and see the smiling faces again!

Excellent service from staff sticking to guidelines food brilliant cant fault this pub 1 bit will definitely head back

If I could give this place 0 stars I would, 1 is being generous. Came here for lunch, service from start to finish was terrible. Usually you walk in somewhere and staff will acknowledge you.....not here. Who I believe was the manager just looked at us blankly we asked if we could be seated to look of horror on her face actually having to do some work.After a total shambles we sat down to a sticky table. We waited for what felt like forever to order drinks, we knew what food we wanted so ordered at the same time. We were asked if we were paying card or cash and had to know thereunder then to pay first......weird, considering they weren't bothered about taking payment. Drinks took an age to arrive, even though there was only about 3 tables with people on. Food was awful, burger & chips was laughable - would have got more on a kids meal. Eggs on the breakfast and mixed grill were like rubber. Food wasn't even that warm. The manager kept looking at us n ignoring us clearly seeing we were finished. Another table told us she's always like that. Well love, if your an ignorant, hate dealing with people, judgemental person - think you need another job. Eventually the waiter came over removed plates and to take payment. We complained to him n his response was to stay quiet n roll his eyes. Service is disgusting, staff are so ignorant and rude. Food is awful. Will not recommend at all, best avoiding the place!!

Me & my family took a visit here on Thursday 24th June. I was very impressed with the service as there was a few big tables on but we were looked after very well. The workers were very attentive and friendly and the food was very tasty. Also very impressed by the covid safe system, we felt very comfortable here.

Staff were very unattentive considering the place was empty, stood waiting for a seat while staff totally ignored us. Left waiting far too lo n in an empty pub for drink orders. Food was appalling and service was absolutely shocking. Would not recommend Anyone to go here unless you crap service and crap food.

Staff saw us arrive and ignored us, i looked around and there were 3 tables with people eating, stood for a further 5 mins then went to bar and said " do we need to wait to be seated or can we just sit" to be told very abruptly " sit there" we waited for a further 14 mins and then had to ask if someone could take our drinks order remember the place was more or less empty! Eventually someone took our order waited ages for food eventually that came to be honest we just laughed when it arrived dried up burger chips as white as snow so we didn't eat it but of course you have to pay, waited ages again tempted to walk out at this point ...all the while one of the managers kept staring but ignored us when we asked for the bill so all in all food and service was disgusting i would hate to be there when it was busy i would have to rate this as the worst place to eat !!!

First time at the Powder Monkey since it reopened due to covid..Had a lovely time, food was nice and friendly staff.We were looked after by Megan, who keep checking on us making sure we had everything we needed, great service!Will definitely be returning. Thank you..

Visited the powder monkey today,first time since lock down,covid restrictions in place,staff were lovely very sociable and pleasent,icing on the cake was the burgers they were delicious food was piping hot,we sat outside weather was lovely.

This is our local but haven’t been since last July. We were very impressed, everything in place in line with Government guidelines. Staff very friendly & helpful, helped us with the App as we were unsure how to use it. Kept checking if we needed anything. Food was lovely. Felt great to be back - thank you team Powder Monkey.

Went for an evening meal and it was super busy so the app was having difficulties so Megan had came along and asked if we needed help we had said that my boyfriend was in the forces and we didn’t know how to order the food on the app and she apply discount for being in the forces and ordered our food. She had great manners and was always checking in on us. Her service made our time there. Will definitely Be back. Thanks to Megan.

After being stuck indoors for over a year me and my friends finally decided to try a night out.. and where else to go other than out local... very Impressed I was scared and dubious at first but the staff there made us so comfortable. We had to sign in which I didn’t mind and we were allocated a table but the atmosphere was as if there was no pandemic at all... everyone laughing a smiling and meeting up with family and friends was amazing and quite emotional to watch! We never thought we could go out so early on and be able to enjoy our night like we did! Well done to the great team of people who worked last Saturday i can’t thank you enough for putting us at ease and always serving with a smile

First meal out since lockdown ended and I have to say the service was fantastic and Alyson and her team had government guidelines done perfectly and I felt extremely comfortable x as for the meal itself I have to say it was absolutely delicious well worth the money would highly recommend this pub x
