The Blind Pig in North Tyneside - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Myself and my husband popped in tonight for the first time. We had heard good things about the live music so thought we would try it for ourselves. The music was fantastic but we were absolutely horrified at about 7.45pm when we were asked to stop talking as apparently the acoustics of the room meant our talking was interfering with other people hearing the music. I am truly baffled as to how one couple talking about their week can interfere with a musician with an instrument, microphone and speaker!! To be asked to stop talking in a bar on a Saturday night in Tynemouth is quite unheard of. We understand that there are some miserable, unreasonable clientèle around but I strongly believe that management should have used their common sense in this situation and dealt with the situation differently.

We wandered in for a drink and stayed for food. Found in an innovative setting, this is one of a few food and drink places in the repurposed church in Tynemouth. We found the staff to be incredibly friendly and attentive, something that makes a hell of a difference when you’re spoiled for choice. The Sunday lunch was really nice, too. Tasty gravy (plus an extra helping) and a really good Yorkshire pudding. Well worth looking out; we will definitely be back.

Really pleased to find this spot, lovely atmosphere and drinks. We'll definitely be calling in again.
