Ravensworth Arms in Gateshead

We come here quite often, sometimes as a couple and sometimes as a family. We are always made to feel welcome. Every meal we have had has been tasty and the portion sizes are very generous. Staff members are attentive and helpful, especially Julie, who serves us quite often. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and look forward to our next visit!

Lovely food. Hit the spot. Proper pub grub. Julie was pleasant and polite , great service. We had the sharing starter and a main.

Three of us called in on spec for lunch. We were welcomed by Julie (and looked after by her very well during our visit). The restaurant was moderately busy but there was still lots of room between parties and a comfortable atmosphere. We all chose from the Lunch menu and the food was served quickly and was delicious. Very good portion sizes too. Two of us had the ‘Mini pudding and hot drink’ dessert and, although the cheesecake was definitely mini 😉, once again the food was delicious. Well worth a visit.

Visited with family up from Cornwall for Sunday lunch . There has never visited the Ravensworth before and were delighted with our choice . Found the whole experience very satisfying and your waitress Julie made it all the more pleasant with her excellent service . Very professional lady.

We enjoyed our first outdoor drink of the year at this lovely pub. The staff were efficient and friendly, especially Micky, Alana and David. Returning hours later as I realised that I’d left my handbag in the garden, I was relieved to find that they’d found it and looked after it for me. We’ll be back soon. Thankyou.

Had a meal last night as friends were staying there. The food was lovely but honestly it was our server, Julie, who made the night for us. Our little one was so tired and got upset and Julie brought her some ice cream and cookies which was such a lovely touch. Hadn’t been there for a while but will definitely be back soon!!

Friendly staff. Loads of room, really relaxed atmosphere

Our the years we have been regular visitors for evening meals and had no complaints. We hadn’t been for a while however so we decided to call in last night. We got a table no problem and ordered the burger and chips and Gammon steak and chips with two sweets. Unfortunately the gammon was tough and barely warm and the chips with the burger weren’t much better. I returned the gammon meal and our Waitress Anya apologised. I have to say she was excellent. A new Gammon meal was brought to us, by wish time I’d finished my meal. Anya confirmed we would not be charged the full bill which was nice but I’m afraid it’s really out us off having a return visit. Anya was very nice and apologetic but hey the food was far than impressive I’m afraid. Such a shame it’s a lovely setting and place.

Food was fab and Service amazing as ever thanks to the lovely Julie

Had a fantastic family lunch, great food and atmosphere really good service from Julie.

Great service, food lovely. Julie was great and made sure everything was perfect for us.

Excellent service and good food.

Excellent place to stay overnight on Saturday 1 February 2025. The room was very clean warm and cosy. We were served by Ellie snd Ross for out evening meal which was delicious and hot. Breakfast this morning was also superb. Would recommend a stay at this place without hesitation.

Julie our waitress was amazing tonight. So nice and chatty. Completely recommend this restaurant for food.

Food was absolutely beautiful and Julie who looked after us was lovely from coming in and leaving. Definitely recommend

Ate here with friends last night. Very friendly the waiter was great and so was the service. Food was good and nothing was a bother.

Booked a table for 5 family members for Burns Night. 4 courses for £28, including the famous haggis, neeps and tatties. Absolutely delicious. The staff were great and we didn't wait long for our first course. Wanted to do a Burns Night for ages. Pleased we did it and had such a great night.

Went for meal last night it was delicious we were served by Julie who was very attentive courtesy and efficient we will return

I have just stayed 3 nights in one of the front rooms. Firstly, the staff were so friendly! They all had a smile to say hello and were really helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect, it was a short walk into Kibblesworth. The room is pristine, quiet, and comfortable; I especially love the coffee bar/box. I had both breakfast and dinner, the food was great and cooked well. Definitely staying here again when I come back!

Lovely cosy place to visit, always warm and inviting, had quite a few meals here, lovely, it's a great place too for the dog, which is an added bonus

We had sunday lunch today for 4 , it was appallingly, clearly frozen cold tiny roast potatoes a spoonful of swede, two soggy carrots , one soggy parsnip , no mash potatoes, a burnt bit of stuffing and equally black yorkshire - side of mushy brown cauliflower and the beef on the bone was burnt on the outside and mostly fat inside . We frequent here and find the food midweek normally fresh and good value so even more disappointing to find such poor standards and quality for sinday lunch …. catering for the masses comes to mind . I very rarely review … but it was so bad !

Went in yesterday for food, it was okay nothing particularly bad but nothing particularly good either. Paid over a hundred pounds for two people had three courses and 2 pints each, wouldn't of minded the price if the portions and quality were abit better. Don't think I'd return service wasn't great either.

Love this pub, staff are friendly and polite and always make me my partner and our little dog welcome, we took advantage of a special offer and enjoyed two mains for £20, my partner having the steak and I went for a healthy option (it is January), food was great, service was spot on, had a lovely time.

Good food, very busy. Slow service but we were made aware of the wait beforehand. Would go again.

We went for Christmas day dinner and it was lovely. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was great. Went for Sunday lunch, and it was pricey, but everyone enjoyed it. Good portion size.

The service was fantastic. Although the server was very busy and seem to be the only member of staff, he was polite, friendly, and helpful. We enjoyed a full breakfast and it was absolutely fresh and delicious. The place was lovely and cosy with a fire burning on a cold day. I cannot fault the breakfast Service at the Ravensworth.

Nice and warm when we went in, table was ready for us, staff were efficient and friendly, food was good, drinks were reasonably priced.

Just went for a cup of coffee with a friend, nice atmosphere & dog friendly 👍

We had a very pleasant evening with lovely food and environment. We were well served and unhurried. Nothing we can say that would have needed to be improved.

A very welcoming venue which was clean and warm. The food was hot and brought to us promptly by Yulia our server. She was pleasant and polite.

Cozy, good prices, great service, not hard to get to.

We both had the lamb shank shepherd's pie. The lamb tasted very strong and nor very good quality meat. The dish had been nuked and it only came with cabbage and very tough leeks. Neither of us enjoyed the meal.

Went to the Ravensworth arms restaurant for lunch andnhad a lovely time. Deco is lovely, staff are welcoming, food was delicious (would suggest a change of bun size for kids chicken 'burger') and price was reasonable. Ross, our server, was delightful, he was professional, friendly and a real pleasure to have have met. We hope to return soon.

Regularly come in for breakfast & lunch and food is always great. Cat and her team always give great service and nothing is too much of a bother. Definitely pop in if you have the chance :)

Food was delicious and huge portions, Service was 5* Julie was very polite and making sure everything was what we wanted, We were served with 5 minutes and were not rushed at all, high recommend

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, impressed that all our meals came out at the same. Brilliant and efficient service by Julie, very helpful

Great food Good service Very cosy and nice pub

Called in with my wife for food on a lunchtime last week after a shopping trip to Team Valley. Ordered mains of cod and chips and the smothered chicken. My wife enjoyed the smothered chicken but the fish and chips were way overpriced (£16.29) for what was a very small fish, obviously frozen chips and a tiny bowl of dried up "garden" peas. Hmmmm. We have had much better for less elsewhere and had been expecting better. Service was spot on so we might try again in the future but we are not in any hurry to rush back.

Spur of the moment visit for lunch. Staff were excellent. Food was great. Christmas decorations were beautiful

Looked after by Julie, she was absolutely fab. We had a lovely dinner for my Nana's birthday. Good vegetarian options, amazing staff, thank you so much!

I really liked the food and the portions especially for the kids were really good. The staff were really nice and Alana who served us was really kind and funny. 😋👍🏼

Good menu, spacious, attentive staff. We spend a long time over our meal and at no point felt rushed to leave.

I thought the food pricey £16.50 for fish, frozen chips and a small dish of mushy peas When you pay this much you at least expect proper chips A bit disappointed really

Superb. Couldnt have asked for friendlier staff, cleaner rooms or nicer food. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful pub. Gorgeous food and friendly staff. Can't comment on any rooms as we only had lunch.

Booked into the hotel as a stop over on our way to Bamburgh. So pleased that we found this little gem which we will use whenever we are travelling that way again. Everyone was so lovely, the guy on reception, the cleaners, the waiting staff, from checking in the hotel room itself, having a meal in the restaurant and then breakfast the following morning there was nothing we could fault. We had taken our dog too and she was made most welcome, our room was outside of the hotel in a row of bunglalow like rooms, being allowed to sit in the designated area for dogs which was a lovely area. Thank you for making our visit wonderful.

Had the Sunday lunch it was the worst Sunday lunch l have ever had 2 dryed roast potatoes, leek, 2 bits of parsnips, hard lump of stuffing one and a half slice of pork and 1 soggy yorkshire pudding I would never call that Sunday lunch , there was no collie flower,no carrots, no turnip, no peas and no mash potato way over charged very poor

Lovely food (especially the desserts) & very well looked after by Julie - thank you

Had a meal with work colleagues while filming in the area. We were a big table and Alana & Micky gave us really friendly service - the food came out quickly and was hot & tasty. Decent quality pub classics at at a good price. Well done all round!

Cosy pub with a nice festive atmosphere. Plus cheery spirits from Alana! And thanks chef Micky for the great veg options

A lovely meal and fantastic, quick service. Love the mini pudding and hot drink option for dessert. Thanks especially to Julie for looking after us so well. Beautifully decorated for Christmas and a lovely welcome. We will definitely be back!

Lovely atmosphere, Alana our waitress was lovely, very helpful and attentive. 5 stars to Alana. Will definitely be back.

Great meal, lovely atmosphere and Alana was super. Lovely server, nothing was an issue. We will be back. Thank you for today

Food was beautiful, compliments to the Chef! Staff were so helpful and attentive to detail, lovely and clean, lovely atmosphere We will definitely be back to visit again when we come back up north to see our family

went for a birthday meal with a party of 8, we received excellent service from alana! very friendly and welcoming, whole atmosphere was lovely and food was delicious! would definitely come back and absolutely recommend!

We’ll definitely be back, we had such a wonderfully relaxed time, with comfortable surroundings and really nice food & welcoming service. Dog friendly as well, which is always a bonus. We had a lovely time.

Four of us went for a meal here. The service was fabulous. Nothing was too much effort. The food here was the best that I have ever had in a pub style eatery. The menu has something for everyone. From squid, game, steaks, pies and decent vegetable options. I can’t speak for their deserts as no one on my table ordered any. The food portions were good. I couldn’t finish all of mine. Every one else on my table had a clean plate. They asked if anyone had any type of allergies. I have never been asked this before in a pub. If you get a chance to go I would definitely go again. Good value for money.

Thanks Julie our servers - lovely service

Decent pub, a bit pricy, but good

There for Birthday meal. Very good, food and service. Friendly staff.

Lovely food in great pub. Chilled night out. I haven't used the rooms but I'm sure they'd be more than comfortable

Nice food but rather expensive for what it is

Really nice pub which looked like it had recently been refurbished. Very efficient, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Only let down was that I was encouraged to order 'Pigs in Blankets' which just turned out to be 2 ordinary, and not very nice sausages with a little bit of Bacon wrapped around it.

Great little pub to stay close to Gateshead

A wonderful stay, Our accommodation was beautiful, almost cottage like, and we were able to park right outside. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was Delicious and made to order. Would recommend to friends and family

Ross was very helpful and polite. Brilliant service by Courtney and Christine was very pleased with whole experience

Very pleasantly surprised by the food. Very tasty, and not at all like a typical pub chain experience. The menu has some imaginative dishes. The vegetarian garden plate was absolutely yummy, and I'm not a vegetarian! My husband's sea bass was delicious. Service too with a smile and humour.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Ravensworth Hotel. Room was in need of fresh paint , also the stairwell . The complementary tray was wonderful. What a lovely treat to have chocolates each day. Lovely shower & fluffy white towels. Thankyou very much for the very good breakfast each day, love the continental breakfast also

We were served by the wonderful Alana who greeted us like long-time friends and quickly established a warmth that invited us to spend time in a pleasant evening sharing tales and memories. Alana started the proceedings by creating a truly sublime hedgerow fizz cocktail and gave us space when we wanted space, but being attentive and anticipating when we were ready to order. The food and ambience were wonderful, but the night was made truly special by the help and advice we received from Alana. Honestly, I cannot recommend the Ravensworth highly enough. If you haven't been, get yourself here, no matter where in the world you are. You won't regret it.

Highly recomend the game mixed grill everything on the plate was outstanding and a have to try . My wife had the regular mixed grill and said this was really nice also. And will defo be back .

Ross was an amazing waiter, such a lovely guy, always checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed! Food was beautiful too! Would 100% recommend anyone to come here!

Waiter Ross was excellent. Friendly and attentive and helpful. Service was speedy and we were allowed to sit and chat for as long as we wanted.

Served today by Ross who was very helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome. Lunch today was lovely. Have been to this pub for lunch/evening meals previously and always happy with food and service

As ever the lovely Alana looked after us brilliantly, this young lady males us smile every time and is an absolute hero in making our evenings extra special

We went for food and took our two year old grandson. Both the food and service were excellent. Julie, who took our order and the chap from the kitchen who brought out the food were really friendly and great with our grandson. We felt very looked after.

We booked a large group of people for a late breakfast and staff were very helpful and food very good. Thank you all

Beautiful sandwiches, but the breakfast wasnt to my taste - the farmers breakfast had too much paprika it overwhelmed the entire dish. The table we sat at had unclean cutlery and noone asked me how everything was even though I barely touched my meal and several people walked past.

Family birthday lunch - food cold - service very slow even though not busy. will not return.

We had a great meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend it to everyone.

Very friendly food was really nice staff was excellent

Sunday lunch for 2 people 3 roast potatoes warm 2 slices of beef. Cheery (boiled rubber) 1 Yorkshire pudding cold Broccoli and Carrot scrappings Lump of cold sage & onion Cold gravey Missing. Mash potatoes, swede,cauliflower , peas or green beans Should not be sold as Sunday lunch Never had Sunday lunch served before without mash or potatoes (boiled) and lack of veg. Very poor value Will not be returning

Great place to eat and drink lovely and clean with friendly staff ..

Today we had our dinner here and it was very very good. Ellie served us and is really nice towards the customers and want them to have a good evening and nice food. We are on a road trip but would definitely come back if we stayed here longer.

I'm a regular visitor to this pub and today was greeted by Ross who was not only polite and funny but remembered what I usually order. It was a sunny day so sat outside and Tanya brought drinks to our table which was much appreciated. Thanks to Christine and Courtney also for making my visit worthwhile.

Just had the lunchtime scampi and chips served by Julie. Great value and great grub for a mid day light lunch. And service as ever with a smile from Julie

Loverly place, nice food, Ellie was great.

Ellie was very friendly helpful and a very good server very polite with a lovely smile The food was excellent would definatly come back !!

Sunny day so we decided to sit outside. Disappointing because the sunny area was full of people with dogs and we had to sit in the shade. Sandwiches and fries were ordered and after waiting 25 minutes I asked where our food was. It appeared immediately after I asked. We ate most of it but the fries were cold. I should have complained but didn't.

The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are so friendly. The food was beautiful and very reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend for a lovely meal in a very welcome environment

Perfect service from Julie . Looked after us from the moment we stepped in.. excellent service couldn't ask for more 😁

Called today for a meal food service etc very good will be back

We stayed for one night and will definitely be returning. Lovely big room with a super king bed and a single for our child. Very comfortable, lovely bedding and very clean. The toiletries were very nice too. The tea tray was great, good tea and coffee (and a tea pot!!!), good biscuits and milk sachets. Loved the decor and colours. Homely and comfortable. We ate dinner and breakfast in the pub, the food was very good and the breakfast fantastic value at £10.50, it set us up wonderfully for the day. The thing which sets the Ravensworth Arms out far above the other hotels we have stayed in nearby though is the staff. Warm, friendly, kind and just fantastic. From the lovely initial greeting, the quick check in, the lovely waitress at dinner and the very friendly staff this morning, they really made our stay fantastic.

Just spent a very enjoyable weekend here. Great food. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Definitely coming back for a longer stay next year. The location was excellent.

Only a 10 min driver from here to beamish. The food was top notch and very friendly service.

Stopped off for Sunday lunch as everywhere else was close sed or had stopped serving for the day. Really pleased we did, food was delightful, service was excellent and a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and go again.

Bit out of the way, but the food was better than regular gastropub stuff.

Had a beautiful meal out with the boys and my wife

Wonderful meal as always at the fantastic Ravensworth Arms. Julie, our waitress was lovely, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Meal was fantastic, we’ve been coming here for 20 years or more and never had a bad experience. Celebrated our wedding anniversary today, in a wonderful setting, with a wonderful meal and a great atmosphere.

Met friends who were staying,we met in the bar. The drinks were reasonable and staff were very welcoming.

another fab night at the Ravensworth the food and service are second to none the staff really make you feel welcome and are so helpful in every way ! The food a little more pricey but well worth the visit thank you Jeanette & Brian
