The Badger in Northumberland

Brilliant service Marcus, super food too and very friendly staff.

Brilliant service Marcus, food excellent too.

Easter Sunday, it was heaving with people, we hadn't booked but they found a table for us . Service by Anne was perfect. The food was delicious.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch yesterday at The Badger. Anne was a fab server, the ambiance was warm and cosy on a chilly day and food delicious. Thanks for a lovely birthday meal, see you all again soon.

Food was amazing and our server Marcus was fantastic so accommodating made our meal even better! Would absolutely recommend!

Really nice visit, lots of menu choices, and excellent service we will be back.

Great food and the service from Anne was amazing

We were served by Anne today and she was brilliant. Attentive, polite and helpful. Food was lovely and service was quick and with a smile 😃 lovely experience

Just had a lovely meal here before heading to the airport. It was fantastic - especially the burgers. The service was also excellent - especially Anne, who is the credit to the team.

Definitely will recommend it. I enjoyed my chicken skewer and the vegetarians though the food was good. Marcus was faultless in his service. A warm and friendly place.

As a group of mainly vegetarians really impressed with food choice, quality and taste. Service from Marcus and the whole team was great. Highly recommend.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and good service. Thank you Marcus!!

Fantastic place, great service and food. Anne was very attentive to the needs of the youngsters and made sure the whole family was taken care of. Thanks again.

Very good experience. Dog friendly and very helpful staff. Anne looked after us very well

First time at the badger for Sunday dinner. The food was lovely and a good size portion. Our server Marcus was lovely he was attentive, polite and friendly. We would definitely return.

Had a great time at the Badger with Simon looking after us. It’s rare to see a manager have so much floor presence these days. What a grafter!!

Had a fantastic meal, Anne and all the team are great!

Another lovely meal. Great way to kick off 2025.

Been to the Badger af Newcastle Airport tonjght we both had fish n Chips very poor the fish batter was like concrete and burnt. Won't be ging back.

Paige was really friendly and helpful

1st class service and food plus nice friendly staff. Always a joy. Anne, our waitress, was exceptional; very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

The Badger is a great place for a family get together. Have just had a great meal there. The staff are always very welcoming and attentive and the food was very tasty.

Always a pleasure to go here. Service is always brill.

Fantastic food and service as ever. David is a great asset to the Badger. Thanks everyone.

Been back again and Staff are simply the best One thing that's needed to complete this venue is Jam Rolly Polly

Popped in with my husband one evening, the food was great and the staff was amazing. I had the steak and cheese pie and this was delicious. I followed on with the mini bakewell and cappuccino and this was delicious too Thank you all will be back.

Excellent service by Dan and food amazing, brilliant Sunday lunch and super puddings, thanks to all, a wonderful day

Excellent Sunday lunch and service from Marcus

Marcus served us and food and service was great. Sunday dinner was lush

Popped in for a drink and seeing as lots of empty tables decided to have a quick bite to eat. We were quickly escorted away from our preffered area to a claustrophobic back room with a small window while the rest of the place was practically empty, reason being fully booked apparently. No indication on tables or what times tables were booked for. We weren't going to be long, drank up and left. Will be a while before we return I think.

Excellent food. Lovely setting, with option to sit inside or outside. Also dog friendly, which is an added bonus. Service was very efficient - Anne was so wonderfully friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend and we'll continue to return regularly.

Friendly staff, lovely food, nice cosy pub. I ordered soup of the day which was tomato and parsley, lovely and creamy really nice. Mains I got the chicken katsu curry. Really surprised how good this was for a pub style menu. Really tasty and the broccoli was superb. My girlfriend got the chicken parmigiana. Massive amount of chicken and really tasty. We got some halloumi fries for side and they were good to. x2 starters, x2 mains, x2 pepsis £64.50. Good food worth it, would go again.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch and was served by Anne who was a fabulous server.

I have been here before, and we came back because we really enjoyed our Sunday lunch. The food was lovely, and the service—provided by Anne—was lively and caring. I definitely recommend this place.

Good service, friendly staff. Nice inside. Food was not good at all. 2 of us ordered fish and chips. Both came with a decent looking fish sat on about 8 chips for the whole plate. The fish looked good bit wasn't anything special. There was a small bowl of very dry mushy peas which must have been plated up hours ago. Also cam with tartar sauce but one plate was missing theirs. One of us god a pizza which was nice. One of us god fish finger sandwich, asked for the tartar on the side, but it came smothered on the sandwich. Also ordered a cheesecake but think they sent the wrong kind as the flavours weren't as described. Would not return here for food but would for drinks.

Overpriced for nothing special Just got a £60 parking fine 2 weeks later.... Didn't see any signage behind the bar or a mention by the bar staff or even a note on my table. All they had to do was to tell me to enter my reg number on a screen. Angry doesn't describe it.

The Badger is always my go to place when I want to just chill with the husband or with friends. Food is always spot on ive never had a disappointing meal there. Usually get looked after by David who if I could would give him 10 stars. He's professional and very welcoming and friendly without being intrusive. Was there with friends on 1st April we all enjoyed it very much

Thanks to Milly, who was friendly, helpful and efficient dealing with our choices

Fantastic pub/restaurant. Plenty of parking, nice and cosy inside and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The mother's day menu was fantastic and the food was delicious. The service was really efficient - given that it was mother's day and therefore busy, it was impressive how quickly the courses were brought to the table.

Really nice meal, Alex the server was very attentive and professional

Could not fault service or food, excellent all round

We have visited The Badger on many occasions for family meals. Each time we've been welcomed in and enjoyed great food and been served promptly by their very friendly staff.

Excellent venue - slight mishap with the order but quickly resolved with drinks and extra's removed from the bill, it was very busy so mistakes do happen. Didn't even ask for the reduction so shows you how tuned they are for customer service. Sunday lunches extremely tasty and plentiful. Deserts first class. Certainly be going back again.

Brilliant food and service from Anne was amazing

We love The Badger and as staying at the Airport we decided to go for Sunday Lunch. One of the best Sunday Lunches we’ve had. The Trio is to die for and a lovely Malbec to go with. Big shout out to Anne, our lovely server. So friendly and attentive with every table, not just ours. She’s a credit to The Badger. Thanks Anne.

Decent food hampered by slow slow forgetful service. Won't be returning, which is a shame

Excellent service, friendly & helpful. We were served by Alex- thank you! Food was delicious, 4 stars because our first choice had run out …

David is amazing! Very attentive

Starting to be our local drop in pub friendly staff and great service and food at a good price.

David has been an amazing server, he was funny and attentive. A really credit to the team! Thank you David ;)

Fabulous time had by all!! Food was amazing topped off by brilliant service David!!

Food was amazing!! Staff were attentive and very helpful on their recommendation. Thank you so much to Simon, Dan, David, Lee and all the kitchen team that were working. I will definitely be back!

Very welcoming pub, with excellent service from Milly who was also very helpful providing a highchair for my granddaughter. . Food was very enjoyable, as was the beer!

A lovely pub near Newcastle Airport and not too far from Newcastle city centre. Really nice decor and nice atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and helpful, we sat next to the real fire which is very homely. Food was nice, but not amazing. Overall, a very nice experience and I would go back.

Had big expectations due to my friends reviews but we all got disappointing. Sunday lunch was cold-ish. Small portion for the price you pay. Bad knifes that you struggle to cut the meat. Good atmosphere and service.

Lovely meal. Fantastic service from Milly.

All the food was amazing and the service was excellent. Milly was a very good host and very polite

Food was really good here, £64 for 2 starters, mains and 3 sides for £10. Service was really quick and staff friendly. Only negative thing I could comment on was the stuffing as it was chestnut and bacon and there was no nut free option. Other than that amazing and will definitely come back.

We had a lovely meal here. Staff were friendly and professional. Will come again.

We, my Partner and I came for Sunday Lunch today, March 16th and were served by Millie. We would like to add that Millie served an excellent meal and provided us with all the accompaniments required: beer and soft mixed berries cordial. Everything was delicious and satisfying. One could add that we had a more than elegant sufficency. Many thanks to Millie and the rest of the very professional, experienced and efficient team for making our Sunday Lunch such a satisfying experience.

My server was David. He was a lovely guy. The food was amazing and amazing place to go with freinds. Highly recommend

We had a great meal at The Badger a few weeks back. Great service - Paul was friendly, attentive and really helpful.

Having not been in the Badger for years, the pub had been tastefully refurbished, the food was excellent and the service was good throughout!

Friendly pub, Alex was our server and very polite and pleasant! Food good price for 3 course! Happy days😊

Great food, lovely proseco 😁 and friendly staff. We will definitely be returning.

Our favourite place to visit for a casual weekend drink. Such a lovely atmosphere with even lovelier staff. Plenty of seats available. Dogs are always welcome and the staff love them. Great service and fabulous food.

Went for a last minute dinner with family, food fantastic but what really stood out was the service and all round great energy from David our server. We noticed quite a rowdy family near us with loud children but David made sure all the children had activities to keep them entertained and kept going back to make sure everything was ok. So if you have children I 100% recommend asking for David as your server. Thanks again

Food not great. We both got the sausage and mash. Sausages were over done and tough to eat my mam really struggled. One meal had plenty of gravy luckily mams mine had very little. Quite odd as served with onion rings which were really nice. Would have preferred veg with that type of meal.

Lovely atmosphere, staff went above and beyond to look after us, the fillet steak was perfect. Thank you Alex for serving us :)

Amazing service by Alex, good food & options

Quality place with Quality Staffng and hard tonfindnthis combination

first time at The Badger and very pleased! Great service from Alex who was our server and a lovely atmosphere. Would come back!! X

Anne our server was very amenable nothing was a bother so friendly.

Beautiful place to eat, we were lucky to get a table by the open fire which really added to the ambience of the place. Anne our server was lovely, so friendly and chatty. We had the sea bass and the pie of the day, both dishes were beautiful. Definitely will return next time we’re staying at the airport hotel.

Popped in for a quick bite with my partner on Friday evening. We both had the fish and chips which were excellent. Anne our server was fantastic.. welcoming, helpful, on the ball and a good laugh.

Lovely Sunday lunch. David was our server and he was great when we asked about gluten free options . Great atmosphere, food and staff. Thanks !

Good food and Rose provides excellent service

Has a lovely time here for a family do. Staff food and the overall experience were absolutely amazing.

First time here this afternoon, but definitely not the last... Food was fantastic, even more so when you download the app and we got 40% off the mains, even without the discount it was fantastic, David our server was polite and attentive.. We had a booking for 1430 pm, but got there early and that wasn't a problem at all.. 5🌟.. Will be back soon

the food was amazing had the sticky platter and perfect amount to share at lunch, Millie was very helpful and attentive, would definitely return

Really pleased with our food, tried the bar snacks 3 for £12, couldn't decide which to go for, so went for 6 in total and was not disappointed, good portion sizes and very tasty, making fab value for money. Food came out quickly and staff great...would highly recommend 👌

Nice pub, Sunday lunch was excellent. They also do other meals on a Sunday so catered for others that didn't fancy a roast dinner. David severed us and couldn't have been more helpful and cheerful.

Fantastic service and food was amazing. Well recommended

Great food great staff lovely place great ambiance

Cosy, friendly pub. Nice Sunday dinner. Good atmosphere

Being a regular customer for in excess of 15 years, the food tonight was sub standard… vegetables vastly overcooked and inedible, and unfortunately no one seemed to care. Service was as usual superb, I felt sorry for the waitress who was blameless for the lousy food.

I absolutely loved this place! So friendly and all four of us was so happy with our meals. Very doggy friendly, lovely ambiance, creative dining options and plenty of parking. Chloe, our server was polite, friendly and thorough. She even asked about dietary restrictions. Restrooms were clean and bright.

We brought our dog amd had a very warm welcome from the lovely staff, who looked very well after us and the dog, who got treats water and a blanket! The food was amazing and the location is a real treat in terms of decoration and atmosphere.

Lovely old building. Fantastic treatment of dogs, even providing blankets. Excellent food, with each section including vegan options. Wonderful staff. Super seating too

My wife and our daughter and I called into the Badger at Ponteland on Saturday 15th February for lunch. No problem getting a table near the roaring fire on this cold day. Our server David was superb. He was very friendly and helpful. Service was excellent as usual, no long wait for food etc. We each had a different meal choice and all were delicious. I can recommend their traditional burger. First class all round.

Lovely service from our server, Alex, who is great! Food was tasty and we liked the open fire.

Dropped in for Saturday post-valentines lunch with my wife. Our waiter Alex made us feel very welcome and, despite not having booked, he took us to a lovely cosy area by the fireplace. He was very attentive and the food came in good time and was delicious. My wife had mac and cheese side, Belgium fries (served with paprika mayo) and green veg medley which was exactly what she fancied and I enjoyed the lamb skewers with feta salad and wrap. All with plenty of flavour. We rounded off our meal with a delicious latte each and sticky toffee pudding to share. Would recommend and visit again when in the area.

Food was okay apart from the starters. One chicken skewer with 3 lumps of chicken on seemed a bit tight for one starter. My Liver Pate had 3 massive slices of bread and the finest sliver of pate to go with it. Had no pate left to go with most part of the bread left. Service was very poor… nobody told us about registering our parking in order to avoid charges upon arrival. Terrible lighting at tables…massive spot lights on the tables, felt like a UFO was about to land on our dinner! Main server was very loud and not very attentive. Asked if we wanted to order drinks when we arrived which we did and then came back to take our food order and asked if we wanted to order drinks again and I said we were still awaiting our first order of drinks…probably waited close to 15 minutes for our first drinks to arrive and this was at 6pm, not busy… I’m rating the service poor as tbf I could have gone to any local hungry horse and had the same service, for some reason I thought this may have been better. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Poor service and stingy, uninspiring menu. Not worth the money or leaving the house for.

We came for Valentine’s Day, had a lovely 3 course meal as well as lovely staff, Alex was super nice and welcoming.

Visit to the Badger for lunch fish and chips were really good. Very professional service very short waiting time . Definitely worth a visit.

We waited a very long time for our food and the place did not seem at all busy. When the food arrived the bacon chop was inedible and my fishcakes were burnt to a crisp, sorry but will not be coming back,

We booked the conservatory at The Badger for a 90th birthday celebration. The room was lovely and ideal for a big family get-together. The buffet was good and staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Recommended.

Disappointed with the staff/pub for not highlighting that parking within the pub car park comes with a £60 penalty if your vehicle isn't registered inside the pub. With a poorly lit car park, the signage isn't viable and therefore I would expect the pub to highlight that the vehicle needs to be registered. Having a family meal with multiple vehicles parking at the time, we know that at least 2 out of 3 of us have been charged so far. Good way to make some extra cash.

Ordered chicken & avocado Salad, with extra king prawns came with no avocado & chicken was dry as sticks. When paying bill they took off the price of prawns which was good of them but £16.50 for a salad is a bit much when it was mostly all lettuce 🤔

I visited the Badger on 28th Jan about 7.30 pm before my flight out next day, I was met by Alex who showed me to a table near the blazing fire. Alex took my order and food arrived very quickly and was delicious, the fish and chips were to die for, I must say he was very busy and also a very polite young lad and a great member of staff to have. Thank you will be back. Phil
