Shiremoor House Farm in North Tyneside - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It used to be a farm and was converted into a pub (with food serving). I just think the location, in the middle of nowhere, is amazing. I was happy to see that this pub is still around. I haven't visited this place since 1997. It hadn't changed so much really, which is great. But I do miss the old "Beware of bull" sign on the outside. I believe it was on a fence or something, don't recall. So they most have taken the sign away or I just didn't see it. I thought it was a nice touch. The location is really huge and has got a great atmosphere. A bit of a cottage/farm cozy vibe, very relaxing. The staff are very helpful and smiling. Selection of drinks is great and food also. I would love to come back one day.

Haven't been here for years but we popped in for some lunch yesterday. My partner had steak and chips, he said it was cooked to perfection, I had a southern fried chicken burger, it was huge, and our son had popcorn chicken and chips. We also had a biscoff cheesecake and chocolate brownies with raspberry ice Cream for dessert. Well worth the money. Staff are lovely and friendly too

Ordered three meals, quality was low for the price charged. None were finished due to one being burnt, another over spiced and one a bland mush. Dim lighting with bright (and dusty) exposed lighting everywhere making for an experience that was hard on the eyes.

Bit expensive but it's decent for a drink with friends and some snacks.

Canny pub food especially in the restaurant bit we're it's table service

The building is lovely and staff are friendly and helpful. The food is hit and miss but quite pricey. Vegetarian options are after thoughts and quite bad. Meats options quite good and chunky chips were awesome.

Amazing food I loved the chilli and the family had pork sandwiches and all was big and delicious

Went out with my girlfriend and her grandparents for dinner while I was in Newcastle. The place looks very nice and the food was decent but service was less than adequate. We ended up waiting the best part of half an hour even to get our drinks ordered, and the food took a while longer than to be expected as well - desserts especially which we ended up waiting for almost an hour by which time it was getting on in the evening. That being said, when we seldom saw the staff, they were very friendly.

Awesome place to eat, great Sunday meals, taking my wife when she next visits

Nice staff, great bar and I really nice outside area you can eat in ... typical bar food though so 7/10

Food is always amazing from here, good service as well.

Food and beer good but expensive.

This was the first time in a long while that we visited for food. On entering the building, I noticed a table with 3 customers had dirty pizza plates on it. They were still there when we left an hour later. We found a table and decided to order fish, pizza and a side of fries. The menu on the table was grubby and the table wasn’t very clean. The food arrived quickly and the pizza was very tasty. The side of fries was very small and definitely not worth the £4 we were charged. They had a salty seasoning which was not mentioned on the menu or at the till when we ordered. There were approximately 25 fries in the basket, making the cost of a single fry, 16p and quite a few were scraps. My husband said his fish was nice. There was no lemon with his meal, the mushy peas were dry and half of his chips were scraps. We did not receive a satisfaction check and waited 15 minutes for someone to come clear the plates. When they didn’t clear the table, we left. The experience was very disappointing.

Moved back to area after always spending our evenings here .ordered pizza which came raw manager took it away and replaced ...no check back on this. I ordered black bean beef noodles that I never ate and received a refund as no black bean sauce at all tasted like vinegar ..really disappointing will not be back for food

Always a lovely venue to unwind in whether after work or a weekend family get together. Food is always well portioned and delicious not had a bad meal here. Eton messaged was amazing and beautiful presented!

Didn’t have food but it looked lovely, cosy pub for a few drinks :)

OK food, although small portions, service was good with a good selection of beers.

Good Sunday lunch. Amazing Yorkshire puddings. No

Lovely Sunday lunch today. Excellent quality, beautifully presented. Highly recommend.

Sat outside in the baking sunshine for a couple drinks and a steak. Steak was cooked to perfection, the chips and onion rings were amazing. The service from Caitlin was class and the pints hit the spot

Not great overall. Fish and chips came out for myself, my mother and my teenage son and the batter was soggy, not crisp at all. For the price this should have been better and the portion was very small. Not great value and not great quality sadly.

Lovely surroundings, came for a belated fathers day was quite disappointed. Chicken was raw on the starter had to send it back, table next to us sent their food back aswell. Went to pay and still tried to charge us for the starter. Very over priced for average food

This was always a firm favourite or ours for Sunday lunch, was always busy and enjoyable. We haven’t been for a little while but called in yesterday. So disappointing. Firstly for a Sunday lunchtime the place was extremely quiet. Over the years you would always struggle to get a walk in seat. It’s now virtually £20 for a roast beef dinner which for what you now get is a total rip off compared to other places. We however decided to give it a try … well the first plate went straight back … cold and the beef was as tough as shoe leather. The replacement meals were brought with a timid apology and whilst they were hot the meat was still not good. We left them and sadly won’t be returning. The management seriously need to look at this place and ask why are people no longer coming. We often go to The Twin Farms which is a sister pub. Totally different.

Previously stated i wouldn’t return after coming here for years last year, due to price levels & food portion sizes . But not wanting to write this place off , we decided to to give it another go , entered the car park & knew nothing had changed , Empty which at one time you couldn’t get parked , entered the building & could pick any seating area , again never known . Looked at the menu & immediately thought £20 for a Sunday lunch , which has nearly doubled in price in a few years , along side the portion sizes being dramatically being reduced. Unfortunately im not sure what is going on with the farm but the management really need to address this quickly !!!!

Lively cozy pub dog friendly in the bar. Nice food too

Great for kids portions and allowed dogs which works for us. Parking is ample.

Lovely food and staff very attentive and helpful

Really great to see this place back to form again - not been for quite a while after it went downhill more than several years ago, but clearly management have got it right now. The restaurant and bar are well maintained by staff presence, nice clientele and food is top notch (Sunday lunches that is).

Cauliflower burger raw and even the most basic scampi and chips no lemon or vinegar. Over priced by at least 50% Nobody came to ask how our meals were. Very disappointed for a birthday meal.

Lovely place to go for a meal and a pint :) worth the visit

We didn't want a large meal, so we opted for a couple of starters. My husband had the onion bargies. They were very big and quite dry. I had the scotch egg that was meant to come with chilli jam. There was no chilli jam with it, and when I asked for some, I was given some bog standard sweet chilli sauce. Disappointing 😞

Rapidly going downhill... Fitzgeralds has made a right mess of this place!

Had the misfortune of dining in a kindergarten not a restaurant ,when I asked if the parents would mind keeping their children under control I received a mouth full of abuse and threats of violence our last time of eating there

Was staying in the travelodge around the corner, and wanted somewhere nice to eat. The food was so good we ate there both nights. Pub quiz on the Tuesday night was an added bonus. Really nice atmosphere, great service and nice beer. Had the chicken platter and beef platter, delicious! Sticky toffee pudding was amazing.

Great menu, high quality food, good service. Beef stotties best option when available!

Food was lovely and the service was great. I especially recommend the fish platter. The Malbec was really good as well and very reasonably priced.

The staff are great and the food was ok

The quality of the food is better than last time, but there are fewer options and the prices have rocketed. One waiter was doing a sterling job, but he was on his own with a waitress fully occupied serving. The specials board had no specials! They cannot get the menu, the quality and the service as it should be all at the same time.

We visited today, as a group of 12 for lunch. There was a varied menu as well as a selection of specials. A large blackboard was set up with a few Gluten Free options. We’d booked in advance and a large table was reserved for us. I have complex food allergies and was assisted by Abbie, who provided the allergy information as well as consulting with the chef. A meal was identified and adjusted to ensure it was safe for me. The rest of the group ordered from the specials and main menus. The order arrived in good time, all well presented and served professionally. The portion sizes were good and for those that had gravy, this was served in individual jugs. Everyone really enjoyed their food. My meal was excellent and I’m grateful for a very tasty meal that had variety. The staff checked all was fine for us twice throughout our meal. After the table was cleared we were able to relax and take our time before leaving. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The cost was extremely reasonable. The entire experience was very good and a return visit will definitely happen.

A very nice pub in a beautiful building.

Tv this is a great place to go for food and drink, real ales on tap and quality food as well as specials board to choose from. The staff are very polite and attentive. Large car parks which are free. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Visited for sunday lunch. Staff were pleasant enough but the service was so very slow, taking over an hour for the meals to arrive and drinks taking ages to come too. Food itself was nice, the roast beef especially so. The chocolate orange cake was beautiful, but the crumble was just ok. Overall, nice place and good food if you don't mind waiting!

Have not been to this place for a long time as the last time we were there it was not good and I wrote an unpleasant review. So when family were here for Easter it was the nearest place to us where we could get a last minute booking on Easter Monday. We arrived as a party of 8 and I didn’t expect much! However I was very surprised when the Manager greeted us and gave us exceptional service. The food was very good and everyone enjoyed their meal. P.S This is a new Manager and I really hope he can turn the pub around as it used to be very popular. We will be going back based on this experience

Delicious food, friendly staff and clean. What more could you ask for.

Visited here with my partner. What absolutely awful food and awful service. I ordered a sizzling plate. It arrived in a sauce, something which was not stated on the menu, otherwise I simply wouldn't have ordered it. It got sent back and I was offered a replacement, which was a kebab with rice. It came with chips. I deiced not to complain again and just deal with it. We paid for the meals but realised that we had been charged for 3 as the sizzling plate had not been taken off. After speaking to a member of staff we were told that since there was nothing wrong with the meal we would have to pay for it. Despite me explaining that it was in a sauce which it didn't say on the menu. Only to then be told that "every sizzling plate I've ever had, has come in a sauce". We asked to speak to the manager, got told he wasn't in but gave us a number. We left after realising that this was going absolutely nowhere as this member of staff was very confrontational. My partner then rang them multiple times. Eventually got through and spent 30 minutes on the phone to basically be told we will not be getting a refund. Due to being treated this way we have not been back since and this was well over a year ago now, which is a shame as we would go at least once a month. I honestly wouldn't recommend this place to anybody as many people I know have said this place has really gone down hill lately, which just proves my point.

Food was great but the Sunday table service was pretty poor , and we weren't the only table that had problems

Greeting nondescript, food okay , atmosphere zero , staff work hard

Lovely place to go food is delicious

1st time today, food was great, service was excellent. Left feeling very satisfied

David our service provider was outstanding..there was 3 of us. He could not do enough and had the best customer service I have seen in a very long time especially as I'm not from the area. He informed us he was going for assistant manager and if he doesn't get it they would be shooting themselves in the foot 10/10 well done David be very proud.

The beef Sunday lunch was delicious, took minutes to arrive, service top notch thankyou .

Very disappointed. The pub was dull, cold and in need of a refurbishment. Food was just OK, but personally think its overpriced . Used to be good, so can be again with a little improvement.

Went on a saturday afternoon not busy but made to feel you wouldn't get in. Food was ok not much choice on menu much better on sunday. Staff couldn't be bothered to serve us that is what it felt like.

A little hard to find but a fine place to eat and have a few drinks. Anyone visiting ought to give it a shot.

Took my wife and mother to Shiremoor Farm yesterday for Sunday lunch and the food was great and the service first class especially David and James who looked after us -David especially couldnt do enough for us so 5 Stars well done the Shiremoor Farm team from us !

Lovely venue, food and attentive staff.

Disappointing. Poor service and mediocre food. Definitely not worth what we paid.

Quite a few things on the menu not available, but always delicious.

This used to be a good restaurant. This is no longer the case and I would avoid. 21/01/24 No table service, no tills and dishes left everywhere. 28/01/24 Unable to take food orders. Poorly managed and disorganised chaos.

Service is non existing as it seems to be one waiter serving everyone. People were complaining and poor guy was off his feet. Food was good but not worth the wait.

Ordered 2 beef Sunday roasts to pick up. Added extra beef and some apple sauce. Rang order in 11.50 am was told didn't open till 12.00 so could we pick up about 12.45. I said we would pick up at 13.00 to give them time. Husband got to pub for 13.00pm to find no meals had been put up. He had to wait for 50 minutes before the meals were ready. The meals look absolutely lush. However no apple sauce. Maybe think twice next time as can't understand how took 2 hours in all to put 2 meals up.

Love the place warm cosy, fresh food, best chips ever!

Had a lovely meal,large portions

I went here with my family for Sunday lunch. I opted for the meat free dinner. I do like meat but tend to go veggie when I'm out for meals. If you like green veg then this will be perfect as there was green beans, green mangetout and green cabbage, all a bit too green for my liking. There was also carrots and mashed turnip, (not green thank goodness!!). However there was no broccoli or cauliflower, that would have been preferable instead of the other green veg. The saving grace came from the huge yorkie, roasties and gravy which were lush. To be honest, considering all this cost £12, in my opinion it was overpriced for what there was. The other point I want to mention is that we wanted the sticky toffee pudding but with custard instead of whatever it mentioned on the menu. Considering the price was £7.50, my husband was going to be charged extra to have custard. This is not on. £7.50 it extortionate anyway without charging extra when swapping from one thing to another. After making it known he wasn't happy at the prospect of being charged extra our pudding eventually arrived with sauce on and a tiny jug of custard. It all tasted lovely but again, not worth the price. I have been here before and will be back in future.

Used to live in Whitley Bay until 7 years ago, and this used to be somewhere we used to come quite a bit, even with my granddaughter. I took my now adult granddaughter over to Boundry Mills, and for a bit of nostalgia, we decided to eat here. The menu was very small, and two of those items were not available. Nor were there any specials on. I ordered a tea and was served it with hot milk! I took the milk back over to the gentleman who had brought it and asked if I could have cold milk. The waiter brought col milk back and slammed it on the table in front of me

Booked as a group of 6 adults and 7 children. Payed as 3 separate tabs. Drinks took 50 mins to come due to problems with the till. Some of the food took 25. Food came out at different times and when mine came the sausage meat stuffing, pig in blanket and black pudding on the triple roast was undercooked/raw. Chicken was dry. Sent food back and asked for refund. Further problems with others on the table for which we were told general manager would come and speak to us. GM didn’t turn up but staff member came to refund my meal. They took money off 1 of the tabs only for the delay in food. Just a complete mess from start to finish Avoid

Lovely place, great food and great staff. Highly recommend ordering from the specials menu

nice cozy place, good food, I recommend it

Four terrible Sunday dinners. Overpriced for the quality of food that was served. Meat was dry, vegetables were overcooked. Disappointed.

Admittedly, it has been a few years since I’ve been to the Shiremoor House Farm, and I won’t be returning. After a big morning of festive shopping I headed the SHF with memories swimming in my head of freshly cooked, piping hot dishes like beef stotties with gravy, chicken curry with rice AND chips, sizzling hot plates of beef fajitas flying out of the busy kitchen; so I was really looking forward to lunch. Instead, I was brought burnt scampi with burnt (but cold) chips/potato wedges (£14), accompanied by a ‘winter slaw’ (which sounded delicious but was served the same size dish ketchup gets served in), and tartare sauce. The scampi was swapped, but the chips / wedges were returned on the same plate. Genuinely one of the worst plates of food I’ve ever been served with a straight face. My mother was served sausage and mush… I mean mash (£14?). Again, absolute rubbish. Oily smash, poor quality sausages and yesterday’s veg. What a fall from grace. Business must be totally reliant on the reputation of the old business.

20/12/23 Met ex- colleagues for Christmas meal after work, all ordered different meals which were all outstanding in taste and presentation, our server Luke was extremely friendly, polite and nothing was a problem, he made our Christmas get together at SMHF better than expected

Brilliant meal. Beef casserole was tender ans tasty. Service was 5* provided by Luke. Attentive and efficient. Thanks again Luke.

Gone massively MASSIVELY downhill! Service was so neglectful it was a joke. Table of 7 of us and just forgot about when the place was dead!!! Not interested in our custom so won’t be returning. Dreadful Xmas night experience

Absolutely dreadful, clearly didn’t want our custom. Ignored our table of 7 practically all night. Desserts were all mixed up and dry! Xmas dinner was lovely but very small portions

Had a family birthday party at Shiremoor House Farm and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very organised, good tasty, service great, couldn't have asked for more!

Had a meal here this afternoon the chips came burnt and had multiple bones in thw fish and out of 5 meals at our table only 1 meal was deemed satisfactory the staff that cleared our table agreed that we should of not been served these meals offered to give free drinks or a dessert instead and we didn't want it and charged us full price anyway but won't be going back I am autistic and I have a fear of choking on bones

Gave table to other people so had to sit in room on our own. Forgotten about having to wait for food forever. Was here for for a total for 2hrs 30 mins. Wouldn’t recommend for a quick meal out. Nachos were bussing but tandoori chicken was tandoori-less and dry. Overall experience took too long and not worth your money. Took off the price of tandoori chicken and cold black pudding still cost a total of £85 not impressed.

First visit from us, we will definitely be back. The food was superb. Can't fault the service. The signage could be better as we almost missed the restaurant. Could do with signage on the main road.

I booked a late Sunday lunch for my family, 8 in all, coming from both sides of the river. I paid the requested £80 deposit, noting that it would be forfeit if I gave them less than 48 hours notice of cancellation. The weather following a heavy snowstorm during Saturday night was bad enough for me to cancel our booking early Sunday morning not wanting my husband or I or our children and grandchildren risking travelling in such appalling conditions. I was horrified to be informed by Shiremoor that I would lose my deposit as we hadn't given them the required 48 hours notice! I pointed out that the weather didn't give us 48 hours notice either! As someone on a fixed income £80 is a lot of money to lose. No amount of calls or emails seem to want to make them change their mind. Company policy! Shan't be going there again.

Lovely food, though not as hot as expected

I went here for work face to face training so didn't get any service or food and didn't experience the atmosphere. But gave it 4 stars for the directions even though there was a quicker way to get there should have given me the same directions going as it did coming home. much faster and less complicated.

We went for lunch and had three different meals. All were excellent, particularly the pork chop. Nice atmosphere. Lovely meal which we will definitely repeat

Me and hubby were there yesterday service one hundred percent atmosphere again perfect.What can I say about food hubby had steak perfect I had pork chop again perfect.Could not fault anything.We Will certainly be back.

We went to have a talk amongst ourselves about a luncheon we were having. The staff were really good and the hot chocolate is to die for. Well done to the staff

It used to be one of the best places to eat at NOT any more. Had a table booked on Sunday which a pre order was requested. To start with we had a 20 minute wait before the servers realised the table was complete after the other part was already there having also to wait for drinks , Once the drinks arrived we had to prompt them about our meal the meals were warm at the best NOT hot , My trio of Roast consist of 1 slice of Beef 1 slice of pork 1 door wedge of chicken , pork scratching which was not edible half a slice of sausage , black pudding ring not sure why these were on the plate 3's a trio not 5 ??? The veg over cooked green beans and cabbage , swede puree not much but was there, carrots, and half a potato, 2 roasts potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding and warm gravy no mashed potato ????Not worth the £18.00 I wasted. The dessert Sticky toffee pudding was warm dry nothing special pricey at £7.50. These are over priced venues that can't execute the basics but charge high prices I will never return to any of these having researched the sister outlets. Spent |£300.00 on our table felt robbed just glad I didn't tip. Service was chaos from start to finish was well under staffed.

Had a very nice meal prompt and efficient service

Leaving meal with a colleague. Easy to book, really nice staff and food was delicious! Not cheap but worth the money. Very homely

Went to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary as had been there on our wedding day. Sat at table no.13, a bit disappointed to see the chair was all raggy and could do with replacing as the venue itself is nice. My husband had fish & chips which was plentiful, chips hand cut and really nice. However, I ordered the hanging sweet chilli chicken kebab that was so tough I struggled getting it off the skewer. It was dry, difficult to cut and therefore I didn’t eat it. I ended up spending £15.50 to eat a flatbread, salad & chips for my celebration meal. I told the server that the chicken was tough and I was disappointed with the meal and the only reply I got was “ah, the chicken was tough” again, a very disappointing response. We did not leave immediately but no one came to the table to apologise. I will definitely not return and would not recommend the Shiremoor House Farm.

We were there on Saturday 4 November 2023 with our family celebrating our Golden wedding, the food was exceptional, staff great and not forgetting the Bar staff. Thank u once again, we had a lovely night xx

Went for a Sunday Lunch, just got a table for 2 as quite busy at 1pm. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding , potatoes, turnip , cabbage and carrot all good only green beans and sugar snap peas were a little hard. Gravy a bit thin for my taste . Children's plate of the same was a good size . Serve was quick and staff pleasant.

Nice pub/ restaurant serving good food with good service. We had an excellent time here.

I ordered slow cooked beef in red wine and parsley mash. Big lump of beef not slow cooked or soft. No red wine normal thin gravy. No parsley Gammon Sunday lunch poor. Told staff I had left the beef as I couldn’t cut into it. I told him them I was still hungry as I couldn’t eat it. Apology received but charged me anyway. Lots of staff all untrained. Used to be a big fan of this brand. Ambiance nice but that’s about it. Paid nearly £50 for two for Sunday lunch and had to eat a cheese sandwich at home.

Excellent meal and service great from all the staff at shiremoor farm. Choice of food on menu not overbearing and portion sizes perfect. Good range of drinks available. Catered for one member of party with food allergy.

Lovely bait although we didn't have roasties on our dinners. Easily put right by one of the staff. Cracking meal

Good food good service and at the right price

Lovely food and great service, thank you! I’ve only just read all the poor reviews, I was there with family last night and the food and the friendliness of the staff were really impressive. So completely different to other peoples experiences. It was a Monday night so not very busy, the pub was warm and welcoming. My fish and chips were awesome!

Visited for Sunday roast but never again I opted for the chicken breast at £15 it consisted of cold & very rubbery roast potatoes , under cooked or raw green beans ,mashed turnip carrots & dry chicken breast.yorkshire pud when I asked if there was any mash potato the girl replied yes it’s a side order at £4 so I politely declined her offer. My wife opted for the roast beef at £15.50 once again cold & exceptionally tough struggled to cut through it.No roast potatoes one single strand of cabbage mash turnip ,boiled potato Yorkshire pud. To be honest I think both meals were left overs . NEVER AGAIN!

Busy little venue , burger was spot on

Great food, friendly staff, lovely surroundings!!!

Not what it used to be by a long way. I'd got used to the fact that the menu was nowhere near as good as in the past but, although the food was good, the service was very poor. Too few seemingly inexperienced staff meant long waits to get a drink, then to order, then to get the main and then to get the dessert and then to get the bill - all while sitting in a freezing cold pub. It was very uncomfortable. I brought a friend who had never been before and will most definitely not be returning. It's sad when a once really good venue loses its way.
