The Ben Lomond Pub in South Tyneside

Great pub with lovely staff and manageress

Nice tidy pub, clean inside and the pool tables decent, food was good too!

We have not been for a while but the Ben Lomond was as great yesterday as it has always been. The service was friendly and welcoming and the food was great - hot and fresh and great value for money. And even though it was busy, we didn’t feel rushed or pressured into leaving. All in all, a great meal in great surroundings and atmosphere. Special thanks to Beth and Sandra who served us 😄

Decent range of beers and very comfortable

Popped in for a couple drinks Served pretty quick by Julie chatty and friendly Prices very reasonable a relaxed atmosphere especially for a Saturday afternoon Background music decent Beth came over to ask if everything ok Nice to be able to have a family conversation in nice surroundings without the music blasting

Good times had, staff always plesant , never had bad food, steaks just the way i like them plenty eggs, the mood of the place depends on the day

Always enjoys there peas and fish. Gamon and eggs another plus

I absolutely love coming here it’s a family friendly pub but also great for a day or night out with friends. I visit on a weekly basis, would definitely recommend it , food is lovely and staff are very friendly n welcoming.

What a welcoming venue visited prior to a football match with FC United. The locals were so friendly spent ages chatting to them the food was good and the prices were very reasonable. A great place

Popped in after a walk in the area. The lady behind the bar was first class. The Abbott ale was well kept & tasty. The food was very well priced.

Always get great service, Abbey and Laura (I think that was there names) were amazing. Food was awesome and a good atmosphere

Staff were really friendly and the food was nice and good value

A Great welcome to Jarrow.. At the Ben Lomand... Great staff, prompt service and friendly faces.. Decent Ales and lagers..... Smashing Carecters and a nice Afternoon to be had.. ®Recommend DJMcG.

I got a make your own burger it was amazing, and the staff there were lovely I'd definitely go back next time I'm in jarrow.

Staff on the ball, canny pint of Guinness. Place is a bit grubby

Visited the Ben Lomond after work to take advantage of their burger deal. Burger with 3 toppings for £5 or double up the burger for £6. I opted to double up. Service was quick and friendly. The pub was full of locals who were also friendly. Burger was massive. Double Patty, Bacon, Hash Brown and Mozzarella Sticks with a side of fries and onion rings. I left feeling like I was about to burst. Definitely worth popping in to take advantage of a cracking deal.

Food was spot on the staff nice and polite well recommended to others for day or night out 5 stars definitely 100% coming back

Staff friendly and efficient, decor nice and good ambience

I had an amazing time here came out for food great food from Beth great service from Julie and had fun on games night with Laura. Definitely would recommend.

Bit disappointed on this visit as we came down for a Sunday dinner and they have stopped doing them but the website says they are. Went for another dish and that was also not available. Great atmosphere and service but website needs updating. Also needs an update on the menu.

Great service from all the staff! Great food from Jack and great beer and service from Laura! Great pub to visit. Highly recommend!!

This night out was made by laura amazing customer service. She made my drink with passion and had a personal touch about her

Spot on, lovely food, fantastic value for money

Nice local boozer, friendly staff live music on from time to time

Great Wednesday deal of a burger at £5

Great meal here very good value for money and good service

Food was spot on, shame about the group of lasses at the top near the pool table, spoilt the vibe about talking about getting bags of coke and swearing their heads off.

The new menu offered the Sunday dinner which was simply delicious. I upgraded to the large Yorkshire (be rude not to haha) absolutely tasty and would recommend it. Hats off to the chef lizzie 😊😊

Food was really nice, service was excellent, Saturday afternoon busy but not to busy. Will be going back.

Food was really nice. Service was excellent. Lovely girl behind the bar. Don't know her name but it was Wednesday 18th October at about 5ish

A lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Service was quick and staff friendly. The only minor annoyance was a sticky table! Otherwise great.

Nice little local with good food. Sandra behind the bar very welcoming and great with the customers. Football on TV, good atmosphere.

Laura is amazeballs 10/10 Good drinks, nachos are massi Good times for all, drinks are banging, tunes are dece

All good but struggle to get upstairs for toilets and dissabled toilet used my most male regulars not to clean

Cake along with the wife, had some great food and good quality drinks served by Laura. Thursdays are BOGOF burgers so for 7.99 you cannot knock the prices

Well, I made it, despite your directions" . Bellowed quietly my boss for privacy we will call him Chalmers Ah, Chalmers, welcome. I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon! I replied It was at that moment I ran to my kitchen only to find my roast is burnt and gasp in horror Oh, egads! My roast is ruined! But what if I were to purchase food from the Ben lomond and disguise it as my own cooking? I chuckled Delightfully devilish, Seymour. I begin to climb through the window, but Chalmers entered the kitchen. Superintendent! I alarmed I was just...uh---just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise! Care to join me? Chalmers: Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, he asked (a problem they never have at the ben lomond) Uh... ooh! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmmm, steamed clams! I quipped back [Once Chalmers left the kitchen, i breathed a sigh of relief, climbed out the window, and runs across the street hopped on the 27 and popped to the ben, where i bought burgers and french fries and onion rings to replace my burnt roast. Lucky it was a Thursday where they are buy one get one free I enter the dining room with the fast on a silver tray (provided by me not the pub) I hope you're ready for mouthwatering HAMBURGERS. I announce I thought we were having steamed clams. Rebuttled my boss who's fake name I've already forgot Oh no, I said 'steamed hams'. That's what I call hamburgers. I replied You call hamburgers 'steamed hams'? Said boss man Yes! It's a regional dialect. I replied Uh-huh. Eh, what region? He quipped Uh...upstate JARROW Really? Well I'm from the dark side and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hams'. He said rudely Oh, not in the dark side no. It's an primrose expression. I retorted I see. He said gravyly He takes a bite out of a burger and chews it a little, while i sips my drink a lovely Fanta orange I picked up at the Ben lomond You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at the best pub on Grange Road the Ben lomond he said with a mouth full of meaty meat Hohoho, no! Patented me Burgers. Old family recipe! I replied lyingly For steamed hams? He alleged Yes. I replied Yes, and you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled. By Paul the best chef in the world He said getting that description bang on Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... excuse me for one second. I said caught outedly Of course. He said smugly I enter and leave the kitchen swiftly upon seeing it is now on fire Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped. I said stuffed and unconcerned about fire Yes, I should be--good lord, what is happening in there?! He said unable to quench the satisfactory feeling of that burger knowing life had peaked and would never be the same again Aurora Borealis? I replied quickly and fastly Ah- Aurora Borealis?! At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?! He sounded surprised but not as surprised as I was at the value of the food Yes. I said sayingly ...May I see it? He quized ...No. I stated We exit the house as the kitchen fire grows larger not to worry we where off to the pub for more ben lomond burgers and fries . The house is on fire! Shouted agnus who is irrelevant to this tale No, it's just the Northern Lights. Obviously Well, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham. Much like they serve a delightful pint at the Ben lomond

Food was amazing as always made by Paul beth was also very friendly and helpful 😀 will definitely returning

We had some absolutely delicious food and possibly the best pint of Guinness in Jarrow from Laura (along with amazing service!) Deffo worth a visit!

My partner and I eat here almost twice a week, we can never fault the service here, the food is always tasty and hot thanks to the chef Paul, and if there are any requests the servers Laura and Sandra are always happy to help make the experience a good one. We also like to bring our dog here too as the pub is dog friendly, the staff love to give our dog a treat or two which is a lovely touch and a bonus when our walks turn windy and wet.

The Ben Lomond has friendly staff, a welccoming atmosphere, easy service, Laura has a knowledge of the bars stock and can offer recommendations for what you are looking for.

Awesome burgers, the chips and onion rings are to die for. The staff are amazing and always efficient

Great service as usual from a very smily Laura... Will deffo be back, food was 100% spot on and the service is second to none, all staff are amazing and friendly and helpful

This pub has to best the best in Jarrow , the food , drink etc is exceptional. The bar staff are amazing ,friendly and down to earth just what you want when having a quiet pint , meal or a night out . Thanks Laura, Sandra and the team .

Food was over cooked but otherwise good evening out

Proper old fashioned me Menu but in a good way!!!!! Corned beef pie with gravy And jam and coconut sponge with custard Really friendly staff

Friendly staff and value for money on drinks and meals

2 for £11 on food is quite a deal. Just what you would usually expect in a small town bar.

Good value meals warm and friendly atmosphere

Loved the food, price and quality to my liking.

Great value for food and bad staff are super friendly!

Always feel nervous about eating out with the children as my son has autism and does not settle well in most environments. Turns out there was no need to worry in the slightest. Not only was the food lovely, member of staff called Laura seemed to sense my sons trepidation and was unbelievable at putting him at ease! This meant that not only did he actually eat and stay seated, I was able to enjoy and finish my meal! What an absolute credit to the company she is! I will definitely be taking the family again and all the better if the lady that helped is on shift too.

Had such a fab time, literally can't wait to go back and Kieran was such a babe really looked after me and the girls and helped us out pick something good to eat, Kieran was such a gentleman can't wait to go back for round 2 ♡

Good selection of beers. Had a sandwich not very exciting

Lovely food and a free Prosecco for all mums.

Came in with a drink for a friend at about 4pm today for st.patricks day. The bar was full and everyone was fully of joy, even though the staff were rushed off of their feet Abbey and Laura did a great job of serving everyone with a smile.

I would like to express how wonderful Sandra has always been when I visit regularly, no matter how busy not matter how late she always greets me with a welcoming smile! The reason I return on a regular basis is purely because of Sandra, Green king are extremely lucky to have such a wonderful lady workinf for there company! Give this woman a Pay rise or promotion she one in a million Thanks again

Great food, great service! Friendly regulars! Was served by Laura! Definitely recommend a night here!

Love this place, good food and drink at a decent price, dog friendly too
