Went here on a Friday lunchtime with some German friends over for a few days. What met with/by what I Can only assume was the manager (blonde hair). She was so friendly & welcoming. Taking time to speak to our German friends & then recommending where to go next. The next thing we noticed what not only the nice welcome but the excellent price. Cheapest round all weekend. Thank you making mine & my friends time so good.

Visiting from Canada, I went into the Black Garter for a pint or 3 after shopping a bit at Grainger Market. The first barmaid was obviously rude and / or racist as i was standing there for a good 3 or 4 minutes; there was nobody else waiting to be served but she still wouldn't serve me. Then another waitress came along and she was very friendly and poured me a perfect cold John Smith's. In fact she is the one who took my pic standing at the bar. Met a wonderful group of people from Hebburn who knew friends in common, as I used to live in Newcastle 25 years ago before I moved to Canada. Met a friendly chap next table who had many an amusing tale to tell. Later I was told this is probably the roughest bar in Newcastle! LOL ....but I didn't feel that way at all when i was in there. I got asked to spare a cigarette twice by the same 2 guys standing outside -- I gave him a cigarette the first time but not the second time. But there was no trouble when I said "Jez, share the thing guys, they're so expensive!" No idea if the place deserves the nasty reputation it currently has. But I felt just fine in there and actually had a very enjoyable afternoon. I gave only 3 stars for service because of the first waitress who chose to blatantly ignore me. Rest was fine.

If you want an authentic Tyneside city center pub, look no further than The Black Garter! Well kept beers, friendly staff and great atmosphere - especially on match day! No messing around or you’ll get it from the landlady - a wee Yorkshire lass that can deal with the most boisterous customers! Weekends great evenings with Ophelia Balls and DJ Chris Parker. We’ll be back, definitely recommend!

Never seen product so violently marked up as it is in this store. You'd think with two competitors parked directly opposite they'd make an effort but they rarely do. Wish they'd use the premium they get from rinsing customers to invest in some air fresheners and AC as well.

Tiny place on the main street but also had seating inside. Staff in here are fast and efficient. You can get plenty of different sandwiches cold or hot and a small selection of cakes as well. The quality of the sandwiches are pretty high they even shredd the lettuce finely so they obviously do a lot of prep work. Good flavours and ok bread. Decent place for a snack if you can find some parking on the side streets.

An hour long wait for breakfast and instead of an apology, the manager arrived at the table on the defensive stating that they had pre orders which had taken priority. After the food finally arrived, they had the audacity of adding a compulsory service charge. Good food, but a manager who wasn’t fit to run the venue.
