Ravensworth Arms in Gateshead

Lovely country pub, surprisingly large but very cosy with various sections to choose from. Dog friendly rooms and pub made it easy to eat on site, and the food was tasty. We stayed whilst visiting family and will definitely be back.

Great experience and lovely food. The staff were so kind and professional. Bailey really looked after us and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

Disappointing and poor quality meals

Julie and her staff were excellent

Having just been for a midweek dinner, I can highly recommend. Julie served us and was really friendly…nothing was too much trouble. The food took a while but was delicious (steak and ale pie with mash, sausage and mash, and chicken duo with rice) and had clearly been cooked fresh rather than blasted in a microwave. Good value for money, will definitely return!

Visit every Thursday morning with friends.. Extremeley friendly staff... lovely food.. love it here ...

Lovely place food good location fantastic.

Came to the Ravensworth arms after shopping in the area with friends. Came for an evening meal and was greeted by a small gentleman named David who was initially shy and nervous around me and my dinner partner. Over time and after several table visits David came out of his shell and even offered to get us drinks and bring them to the table. As always the food was fantastic and the evening was made even better by David and Baileys excellent service. Top work gents

All plates cleared. Good service. Excellent food. Friendly staff

Pleasant little retreat in a great location.

Ross was fabulous. Very interactive, involved, attentive, excellent customer service xx

Lovely place and service food underwhelming (meal only no overnight stay)

Great service everyone was really friendly for my stay, the rooms were nice and tidy with everything I needed for my stay. The food was good, the service was good and quick. Breakfast was good it has plenty of options to help fill up before I set off.

Decent food for hungry Northerners - as popular as ever due to the friendly staff and good food!

We booked a meal for 5 of us and from walking in the door, we were greeted warmly, seated and offered drinks. We explained a couple of the party were running late and wasn't a problem. We were given time to review the menu, ordered and kept us updated with an out of stock item. The main server who I believe was Ross (sorry if this is wrong- had red hair) was absolutely fabulous, great attention to detail, nothing was a problem and made the visit more than it would have been. The food was outstanding, a little on the dearer side, but it was a treat celebration a double birthday so worth it. There was another colleague who helped with our deserts and extra drinks, who was also very conscious and really warm and helpful, possibly Michael. What a lovely place to come and spend time. We were there for 3 hrs as we were having a great time and did not feel hurried in the slightest. We will be back soon. Thank you to both servers who helped to make our visit memorable for all the right reasons and for the kitchen staff for the wonderful food. They are all an asset to your business. We'll done!

Lovely meal, Julie had absolutely perfect service at the restaurant! Top knotch

I gave it 2 stars just because the guy that took our order and sat us at a table was lovely. Very Poor food. It is really expensive for what is basically just a pub. We took our son and his partner as they had driven all the way from Manchester.Gutted we took them here. Its ok for a coffee with friends but a very poor restaurant. Its either under cooked or over cooked, or tiny portion. Wont be back. Ill cook my own meal next time - thanks

I visited this very calm restaurant, which is just what we needed, with my niece. Food was lovely,tasty and hot though did take quite a while to come considering there weren't many people in. The first person (male who seated us was very polite and friendly). Julie who took over was lovely as always. She made sure my niece had a lovely dessert. She was friendly and engaging and she offered a smile and a quick chat. She has served us before when part of a family gathering and we think is an asset to the place.

Turned up with my girlfriend and baby to have breakfast at half 9, stood for 5 minutes not a single member of staff to be seen before we chose to leave. Very disappointing.

The food was average at best. We had what were described as ‘garlic prawns’ from the special board, which were £9.99. Three warm prawns arrived on top of a soggy crumpet? This was very poor and I would not recommend. We also tried the BBQ chicken tenders. These were my favourite part of the experience. They were tasty, but not the best I’ve had. My partner likened his sirloin steak to an average Greene King (I know they’re in the same family but for the price range we’d expect more from here). My fish and chips was average. Overall, not the experience we had hoped for. We’d wanted to try the food here for a while and we won’t be returning for food, perhaps a drink if we are passing in the summer. With a drink each the meal was just under £70. Very poor value for money.

Four of us have been today for Sunday lunch and the service and food were excellent. We highly recommend The Ravensworth Arms and Julie who looked after us was wonderful, we’ll be back soon x

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Good food ,everyone in the group enjoyed it .Staff were excellent .🍛🍲🥘🥗🍺🍷

Had high hopes coming here but was massively disappointed. First of all, the pub itself is in a beautiful area, the decor and building itself are really cosy and pleasant to be in. Unfortunately the food did not live up to the expectations at all. When paying £16/17 for a course, I’d expect proper homemade food however to me and my partner it seemed as if it was frozen oven food. The camembert was undercooked so the cheese wasn’t melted, the chicken burger and chicken duo were bland and seemingly straight from a freezer. It’s very disappointing to see such a nice pub be let down by such poor quality of food. Either consider lowering the prices to reflect the quality of the food or improve the food to reflect the prices. You could honestly have food just as nice at the Gold Medal up the road for half the price. The one redeeming factor is that the service we had was good and the location is lovely. Hope it improves in the future because there is certainly potential to be a brilliant place.

The Ravensworth is fairly local to us and we frequent the establishment on a regular basis. Today we had the kids for a Saturday afternoon visit. Disappointing garlic bread as a side for the kids meal, which was just strips of bread fairly overcooked. The rest though was enjoyed. I got the chicken burger and was disappointed with the size of the burger. It wasn't even the width of the burger bun! It didn't fill the bun or me and it was the first time I tried it as I normally get a mixed grill. The Mrs got the chefs board which she said was nice, but I dont think she could handle the whole thing on her own. Overall an average experience this time but we'll still be back as I know how good it can be.

Friendly pub with excellent food, staff are welcoming and attentive. Been served by Julie on our last few visits and she always looks after us well. Pub is also dog friendly

Didn’t stay so can’t comment on the rooms but the pub is great and the service we received from Julie today was exceptional. Good value pub food.

Lovely menu, Always excellent service from Staff. Thanks for your service this afternoon Julie 👌

Lovely restaurant with classic meals and more modern dishes! Staff were great, so friendly and helpful, especially Julie who we were served by!!

Lovely country pub with warm welcome and delicious food.

Fantastic location! Dog friendly. Good range of drinks, lovely welcoming atmosphere. Staff are excellent.

Lovely meal and fantastic service

Regularly come here for food- easy to get in at short notice or for lunch. Great service and food

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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. 😋👍🏼

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!

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

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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
