The Badger in Northumberland

Good pub food. Nice environment. Friendly staff and efficient service. Easy parking.

A decent chain of restaurant/ pub. Nice Sunday lunches ( although my meats were warm rather than hot) I'll happily return

Chose to have the turkey roast dinner today instead of the fantastic beef roast dinner and I can tell you I was not disappointed . I also should have ordered the side dish of mash potatoes. I finished the meal off with a cheeky crumble with ladhings of custard and a coffee not the large crumble but the smaller one that comes with the coffee . During the meal the marvellous just treated Millie the beagle with a sly lump of beef which she enjoyed . To say we all left stuffed was an understatement.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We found the badger on Google as an alternative for our regular Sunday and it did not disappoint! We were served by Anne and she was very helpful and directed us in the right direction. I had the pork, and it was outstanding. The food was very tasty, good portions and very quick.

Had a lovely dinner, Anne was so lovely and service was fast and friendly.

Visited twice and both times Anne served us. Absolutely lovely service from her! She’s a gem. Food is top tier and delicious and also came very quick. Very happy we found this place, will be going again very soon.

Anne Was a wonderful server, very attentive with a lovely manner. Made our experience excellent

A lovely family meal at the Badger. We all enjoyed our food and were well looked after by David.

Had some time to kill before my flight and I took the short and easy walk here from NCL. Much better experience than anything the airport could have offered. Thank you David and colleagues for your hospitality.

Brilliant, great atmosphere, delicious menu and we were all well looked after by Dan.

Party of three enjoyed a great meal, served by Dave. Great food and ambience, very good value for money. Recommend highly

Food not very hot and overcooked, overall not satisfied but was too hungry to send it back and wait for it to be cooked again.

Staff friendly and helpful and food was delicious but I think slightly overpriced.

Dan was really helpful and very nice, happy to help with splityingvthe bill, making sure we were comfortable,great service, food was amazing, well done mark

Another excellent meal at the Badger, lovely meal, great service from Dan and comfy surroundings with log fire. Compliments to the chef Mark for the tasty meal. We will be back.

Fantastic atmosphere. David went the extra mile to accomadate our party.

Thanks to Simon and Mark for a great lunch. Will be back

Amazing service from Simon! Lovely guy and couldn’t do enough for us whilst we were there! We will be visiting very soon! From the Farrier family ☺️

Came here for lunch on a rainy October lunchtime with my daughter.we had 2 courses from the lunch menu which was great value Lovely food, great service and friendly atmosphere

Great food as always. Myself and my partner had the 3 course lunch special. Lasagne was especially tasty and the soup of the day (broccoli and potato) was beautiful. Highly recommended

Fabulous food , great service as always. Belly pork was superb and the wife's penang curry first class. Simon was very friendly and informative. Meal arrived on time and with a smile.

This restaurant has always been a firm favourite of ours and it never disappoints. We both enjoyed the 3 course lunch . All food was piping hot. Patè was so tasty and my partner had soup of the day broccoli and potato. Al very delicious. Would highly recommend.

Food was lovely. Quality service from David!

Friendly and attentive service from David behind the bar.

Great service from Simon. Thanks a bunch

Excellent service from Simon! If I could give 6 stars I would! We will be back!!

Enjoyed a chilled evening catch up with my friend, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff - was served by David and perfect location to meet. Will deffinalty come back and sample the crumble next time

Great food and Anne was super friendly and polite.

Great lunch before the Airport and lovely service from Anne.

Came in on Friday lunchtime with the family and our lovely pooch, good friendly welcome and milly our waitress was excellent with her knowledge on the menu, food by the chef Angus was on point and excellent could recommend going there.

Great food great atmosphere and a very friendly team

Great service and good choice of tasty food

Stunning food, great service (especially from Paul), what more could you want?

Always a pleasure to go here. Especially in the winter with the warm fires. Service always brill.

Excellent food , Good service , polite staff most enjoyable 😉

Food was nice and the staff were nice too. Overall a lovely place to go for a Sunday Roast.

Popped in for a quick pint but decided to have some food too. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and managed to find me a table. Had the smoked haddock and spinach fishcakes;delicious! All in all a great experience. 10 out of 10.

David seated 20 of us last minute I booked and provided us with great food and service.

Clean friendly place , Good food. Will definitely return

Took our Mum for a birthday celebration on Sunday and booked the dog friendly area to sit in. The staff were amazing and so was the food. Dogs were fussed over and catered to as well. The vegan options on the menu were really good and the Sunday roast option I chose was so delicious. Even had vegan crumble dessert with custard for afters. Would highly recommend.

Great service and food at this establishment, definitely worth visiting 😋

great staff very polite and food always great.

Had a lovely family meal, dog area was great. Dan was great and very welcoming - we will return!

Had a great meal, Dan an awesome help, was great with our dog and gave good menu advice. Looking forward to going back.

Great service, food outstanding

Dan was great,lovely guy. Food was great

Lovely place, part of vintage inns chain, come quite regularly, food and service both spot on.

The food quality was terrible. Roast beef like shoe leather, all dried up. The fish batter was thick and stodgy and the whole plate was cold.

Came here for the first time on Sunday. We all ordered Sunday lunches. The food is the same as any vintage inn and of high quality. Everything we ordered was lovely. The only thing that let this place down for us was the service. The service was very slow but it was a busy Sunday. When we finished our meals, we were more than happy to order desserts, but we were sat with empty plates stacked up ready for the plates to be taken away and be offered desserts, for almost 30 mins. We asked for the bill, paid and left. Ended up going to the garden centre around the corner for dessert and coffee instead.

Incredible experience! David our waiter was lovely and great with our dog who got thoroughly spoiled!

Good food and drink Caters for dogs as well

A wonderful pub. Visiting from Manchester and arrived with our dog on a wet Thursday afternoon. All of us were warmly welcomed with water, treats and a blanket for our pooch. David, our waiter, was possibly the best server we’ve ever had. Amazing food, chats, laughter and lots of fuss made of our dog. Would sincerely recommend this pub, it’s just lovely.

Great little country pub. Always friendly staff and brilliant service. Always a laugh!

Always a warm and friendly welcome, great service and tasty food.

Great, tasty food with a relaxed atmosphere and welcoming staff.

A cosy atmosphere and delicious food. Our server Milly was wonderful. She was extra thorough in dealing with my partner’s allergy which made our experience feel that bit more relaxed, and stripped away any anxieties we usually have when eating out

Popped in for a drink excellent staff and lovely building

Absolutely fantastic staff! Food is delicious and can’t wait to return to try more of the menu!

Always a warm and friendly welcome, whether going for drinks or food. Staff always attentive and happy. They are a great team. Special shout out to Dan and Paul who lead the team very efficiently and nothing is too much trouble. We went for drinks and bar snacks on this occasion. Would definitely recommend.

Haven’t been for a few years because the service was awful and the garden was a health hazard Visited today and the service was very friendly and the garden area was spotless. Lovely place to have a few beers in the sun. Well done all at the Badger

We’re just travelling through Newcastle, and stumbled upon the badger.We are just travelling through Newcastle and stumbled upon the badger we had a very warm and friendly welcome from Jack and Dan. Hugely impressed with the place plenty of space warm and friendly

Lovely local pub. Great food and really friendly staff - especially Dan :)

Great food and service, I will be back

Stopped here in Aug while awaiting flight coming in at Newcastle airport , put registration in at bar, bought a drink sat down did some work on my laptop all good. Staff friendly , nice atmosphere, nicely laid out pub, first time I had visited. Did have a small issue with parking but spoke to manager Dan who sorted it with no issues which I was impressed with. Will use this place again especially down to the staff..

This is the best pub I know! Lovely building, super friendly staff and amazing food! Highly recommended.

Lovely pub. We visited whilst away for the weekend with our dogs. Very dog friendly and the staff were great. Food is really delicious too.

Lovely pub, great service, will be back!

Amazing staff have been coming here for your years

Amazing food and lovely service! The staff are so friendly, I’ll definitely be returning

Lovely place and the food was lovely. Nice friendly staff both bringing food and serving of drinks at the bar. Special mention to Jack I think his name was, very efficient and pleasant. Would highly recommend!!

Had fish n chips, £17.50 terrible, about 10 decent 3 times cooked chips n the rest were just scraggy well done ends, a decent ( not the biggest I've seen) piece of fish which was ok, other half had warm chicken , bacon and avocado salad which was very nice apart from ' snotty boiled egg on top 16.50 for salad, I know it's in Ponteland but didn't think food was worth it! No one came to say is all OK , wouldn't go back

Absolutely love coming to the Badger for food and drinks. Always the best service and food is out of this world. Highly recommend!

Love this pub, great atmosphere, great food, highly recommend 👌

A Monday night catch up with a friend. We both enjoyed a starter and dessert, different choices, and all were fabulous. We were served by Anne who was very friendly and helpful; a credit to The Badger

Big thank you to Dan for his attentive service today!!

Excellent food great service the drinks were fine disappointed that tonic water was only on draught bottles would have been better. Apart from that a good experience

First time here for a long time & it didn't disappoint. Service was excellent as was the food. 3 of us had starters but all 4 of us struggled to finish the main meals. Easy to use log in for the car park etc .. which is bit of a tight squeeze but we managed. Not exorbitantly priced either. Worth a visit in our opinion

I had the lamb rump dinner and my wife had beef both delicious! Everything perfectly cooked and so tasty! Perfect yorkshire pudding too! We will be back without a doubt! Can't recommend enough!

Popped in for lunch with grandsons. One of their favourite places. The staff are very good with them and they really enjoy their meals.

Great burger. Neck oil correctly gassed (been getting a few flat, watery or soda tasting ones elsewhere). Theatre window an unexpected bonus.

Excellent food and service! Marcus - waiter Ethan - chef

Comfortable seats, nice view out of the window. Seated far away from any dogs as I requested. Good service and delicious meal.

Solid chain style pub. Friendly service. Reasonably priced food and drinks. Plenty of parking. Also dog friendly area.

Great food and super service, couldn’t fault. Possibly received the most pleasant service ever!

Visited today was served by David, service was great and food was amazing massive portions great value for money

Came for lunch today, Simon, Anne and Marcus were great! Lovely service and food delicious! They were super accommodating, portions generous, overall a perfect lunch, thank you!

THanks a million Marcus ….. your boss needs to buy you a pint for your outstanding customer service #shannonshendo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great service from Anne. She is a credit to the place. Also the food is amazing. Best roast in the north east credit to Lee and the kitchen

The service is good but did not enjoy my meal yesterday. Couldn’t cut through the beef with the knives, even the veg was hard to cut through with them. We did ask for a steak knife but by this time i had lost my appetite. Not so sure I would return for Sunday lunch again. You definitely need to change your cutlery or the chef needs to cook the food to accommodate the fact the knives are blunt.

Booked in for a Sunday Lunch as we were stopping at the airport hotel the evening before our flight. I had an amazing lamb Sunday lunch and my better half had the beef, she also said the food was delicious. Service was fast and friendly as always, we do frequent the badger several times a year as the food never fails to be delicious 😋

Good food, even better service by my namesake Marcus

Anne our server was amazing. Always there if we needed anything. Food was fantastic. Sunday lunch was very nice. Kids meal were very good

We visit the Badger when we are in Ponteland. We have a little dog, and there is a room set aside especially for people with dogs, which are made very welcome. We had a delicious lunch, the food is always excellent, and freshly cooked. Anne was our server, she was very helpful, and made sure we had a good experience. She is a credit to the company, thank you Anne!

I didn't spend a great deal of time here this Friday afternoon. Alongside many others we docked after a funeral up at Morpeth Crem. Oh dear! It was a Friday late afternoon so the joint wasn't yet bouncing. Staff were friendly and efficient. The grub served up looked class but I didn't participate. Make sure you hit the bar with tenners not fivers but that's nothing new these days sadly. There's decent parking to pay for, though it's on the Stagecoach bus route if you're drinking.

Visited today with a friend who had driven down from the Borders. A friendly, professional welcome and a drink before we were shown to our table. We weren’t rushed at all to fit in with booking time. “Just relax & enjoy your drinks & let us know when you’re ready to go through.” Made a fuss of a couple of dogs. ❤️🐶🐶❤️ We were given a quiet table next to a window. Food was ordered which arrived promptly and was delicious. Staff were efficient, friendly and professional. We’ll be back. Thank you.

Shout out to Anne, who provided us with the best service I’ve had in a while. She was attentive, kind, and her bubbly personality really boosted my mood! Aside from the legend that is Anne, the food was great and the decor of The Badger is outstanding. But Anne was the best part. Anne for prime minister, to be honest.

Excellent customer service from the moment we walked through the door. Our waiter Marcus was very friendly. After he took our drinks order he checked that no one on our table had any food allergies. Very quick food service, piping hot. Compliments to the chef Charlie. We will return.

Great food and service, we love popping in for a bite to eat. Thanks to all.

The food was great, the service was very good!

Chicken in chicken salad could not be cut. Taken off bill but not a great experience.
