The Bonny Comet in Gateshead - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Enjoyed restaurant week menu. Interesting orange wine. STP very good

Lovely setting and food was very tasty and plentiful. The atmosphere was excellent. Busy but still great service and food and drinks arrived without delay.

The waitress was amazing. Very friendly and definitely knew her job

First time visit for Restaurant week had set menu £20 for starter and main meal, both were delicious. Staff were friendly and couldnt fault the service wont be driving next time look forward to sampling the wine and cocktails.

Food was good apart from the roast potatoes being inedible and my beef being tough. Service was great at first but then waited over 40 minutes for our main meal and it wasn’t very busy. The main girl serving us was lovely and attentive always making sure we were ok for drinks. Just a shame about the wait for food.

Food always amazing, service brilliant, and a lovely, airy, clean space, nice and local. Love it here. Highly recommend!!

Lovely food, the staff were all very friendly and accommodating of our baby. Thank you

Staff are very friendly however took a while for a drink order to be taken. Had a beef wellington, however was not a Wellington instead a beef pastie which was nice but lacked a bit of flavour. The potato was bland and dry. Gravy was very watery and again lacked flavour. Overall great place for Instagram pictures but not food.

An afternoon lunch for my partners birthday we were expecting it to be quite quiet. However we were very surprised to see all tables full, and people having to be turned away disappointed .

Came here for the restaurant week. Meal was lovely and staff very attentive.

Great food and very good service - as ever.

Lovely family Sunday lunch for 11 of us! Food and service excellent.

This time our visit was for the Eat to the Beat night. What a great idea and a great night. BBQ was outside, food was delicious with a great choice. Burger, cod in bacon, lamb kofta, chicken, prawns and chorizo skewers, lovely chunky chips and a range of side dishes and sauces & hummus. Eat what you would like, all staff are so friendly. It was a privilege to meet all of the kitchen staff too, who equally smile as much as the front of house staff. The live duo sang a good mix of songs very well which gave the restaurant a lively ambience. I'm keeping my eye out to see what you've got coming up next. Unfortunately we can't make your end of August one but I'd definitely recommend it to those who can.

The service was superb - relaxed yet attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. I'd highly recommend the pork belly bites, Comet Burger, Chicken Supreme, and sticky toffee pudding.

Gorgeous reataursnt, beautiful food and great service. They also do a brilliant cocktail

Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch, coupled with fantastic staff

Went with the family for Sunday lunch. Couldn't have been better. Dog friendly too. Amazing.

Went for my birthday with family and it was amazing. The food was fantastic. I had the leg of lamb and it was melt in the mouth perfect. I had peach melba cheesecake which was delicious. The staff were great and couldn't do enough for you. Will definitely be going back soon.

Very enjoyable family Sunday lunch; very good food, generous portions, great service and very pretty interior. Will definitely go back!

Visited with the in-laws on Saturday night. Upon arrival we were shown to the table and brought water instantly. The waitress then asked if we wanted the air con turned down / off. The waitress then presented the menus and the special board. I went for the scotch egg as did my brother in law and then the lemon sole, mussel & prawn pasta. He had the burger.My wife and sister in law had the goats cheese croquettes followed by the lamb. All washed down with some excellent bottles of Sauvignon blanc. The restaurant was busy but the service was attentive and prompt. The food was excellent, none of us could find any fault, we will definitely return.

Four of us went here yesterday. We were all very impressed, food, staff and venue were all perfect. We all had fish and hand cooked chips which were amazing... Can't wait to go back again. I would definitely recommend this restaurant

Food was absolutely stunning! I got a seafood pasta special and the muscles and prawns were so fresh and delicious- pasta sauce was genuinely unreal. Lovely atmosphere and decor, so so impressed and I will defo be returning!!

Food very average. Had a good pint.

Been meaning to try The Bonny Comet for a while now, finally got around to it and so so glad I did! Couldn’t decide what we wanted from the amazing selection of dishes so opted for a sandwich each and the kitchen offered to half them for us, both were amazing! The smiling staff were so welcoming and we ended up staying for an unintentional cocktail, which was beautiful! So thanks for a lovely afternoon, will be back soon!

Lovely restaurant at the end of the street.

Me and my partner were out enjoying the sun today, while we were looking around at a few places to eat this place really stood out as the host was in and out of the building giving proper care and attention to each customer. Upon arrival we were 10 minutes before lunch service had began but they took our orders and got us our drinks. The inside atmosphere is by no other term, gorgeous, the host was in the process of changing out the fresh flowers on each table and the place was spotless, warm and cosy. Just as service began the food arrived, me and my partner ordered the ham hock starter and the pan seared fish and it was all fresh, well presented and absolutely delicious. At all stages of our visit staff provided a warm, caring and well put together service. As an establishment they should be proud for how they've excelled. We wouldn't ask a thing be changed.

Yummy gourmet food at a very reasonable price in a very pleasant, chilled atmosphere. Hayley and her team are lovely and very friendly.

Very good 2 course lunch. Food exceptional and reasonably priced. Menu small but good quality. Lot of Gluten free options too

Lovely place in the heart of Low Fell. We attended for a wine tasting evening but had cocktails and a light bite before hand - all very enjoyable! Lovely staff, decor and ambience 5*

We ate early evening and the restaurant was just under half full. The seating is good and we were greeted on arrival. The staff were attentive and brought water and asked us if we wanted a drink. We ordered both the cheeseboard and bread selection as Starters. Both were disappointing - the cheeseboard had a 3 cheese offering and it was the usual suspects: cheddar, Brie and blue cheese. They were tasty, but the portions were small. In contrast, there were plenty of crackers - but these were those awful hard, snappy Peter’s Yard style type. They were so hard you were in danger of chipping a tooth. The bread selection - such as it was - was generous, but of only 2 styles of the same bread -with herbs, or without herbs. The pots of oil and balsamic were tiny in comparison. Both mains were good - Coley with crushed peas and chips. The belly pork was fatty - but that’s belly pork for you IMO. The worst part was the truly awful Old Fashioned. I am very familiar with the recipe using black walnut bitters and maple syrup and have had it at other venues, and at home. It requires a measured hand to get the amount of bitters (2 or 3 dashes) correct to balance the drink. Sadly, this skill is lost on whomever made mine; it was so bitter it was undrinkable. And after 2 sips, I abandoned it. Shame on me for not sending it back, but then again, no one asked me how my drink was after taking away the almost full glass. Overall? It’s OK. Not particularly special; just OK and the food is fine. I would go back if I wanted a nice meal locally. But I wouldn’t go here for a special occasion, because there is nothing I tasted that lifted it to a level which warranted it as a special choice of venue.

Beautiful food, reasonably priced and cater for gluten free seamlessly. Staff very attentive. Lovely surroundings. We will be back again

Lovely Sunday dinner at a reasonable price. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The place is comfortable and clean, and the location is very handy, ie walking distance. Very happy.

Came for Sunday lunch whilst visiting family for a few days. Absolutely superb meal! Hope to come again when we next travel up from West Sussex later this year.

Fabulous Sunday lunch again! Dave had the mmm Scotch egg starter then beautiful rare Roast Beef. I was lucky enough the have the mmm Gluten free Croquettes then the delicious Roast Belly Pork. Everything we had was cooked to perfection & I am so lucky to have found the Bonney Comet & a Chef who really loves making Fabulous Gluten Free dishes. Thank you everyone for such a great meal & such lovely friendly service ✨️😊

My wife and I had Sunday lunch and it was our first visit. Very pleased with food and service. Not rushed and very nice atmosphere. Will be visiting again and we have already recommended restaurant to our daughters.

Rather lovely venue in Low Fell for a treat.

Beautiful food. Great service, great vibe x

The wife and I had our anniversary meal there, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was great. I only mark the food down because the sirloin steak for 2 people was a bit cold when it was served, however the roast potatoes were delicious (I couldn't have enough of them). I also had the banoffee mille feuille which was nice. We'll go back again to try more tasty food.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly, accommodating and professional. Good quality food and drink.

Comfortable setting/atmosphere, delicious food and friendly service overall - really nice waitress (Hayley). Good prices for lunch set menu and selection of drinks. Def worth the visit 💯

Wow, what can we say. Atmosphere 100%, Food 100%, Service 100%. We absolutely love this place and can’t believe it’s gone under our radar. We will definitely be going back, sooner rather than later.

Great service and atmosphere. The meal had a bit too much salt, but I still enjoyed it.

Seafood supper night highly recommended

Great food and service, Great roast dinner!! we’re looking forward to visiting again soon.

Just came in for a few drinks and even came back after strolling the streets of Low Fell, the service from Rachel and Reece was amazing - so attentive, nice and relaxed atmosphere with a great wine list. But I must say the margaritas are amazing We shall be back Woop woop

We had a great experience here. The food was delicious, waiting staff lovely and a special mention to the chef who very kindly made a desert for us just as he had finished his shift....extremely grateful!! We will look forward to our next visit.

Excellent Sunday lunch- busy but good atmosphere

Delightful restaurant and great value. I hope it does well for its self and cannot understand why anybody would give anything less than 5* :)

Brilliant! Will definitely be back. Great price too. The sticky toffee pudding was one of the best I've ever had

Amazing meal last night. Restaurant week menu was superb. Food and service was great with a warm, cosy atmosphere. Couldn't recommend enough.

Food was good quality and staff was very pleasant.

Went into tonight for a 3 course meal for restaurant week and it was delicious! Would be happy to go back and pay full price for sure. Such big portions,service was also amazing. There was a good range of alcohol free drinks which in itself was great as I feel being alcohol free is becoming more and more popular and not many places accommodate this. Definately recommend and will be back!!

Me and my boyfriend went for the Restaurant week menu. We were both really impressed by the food, service, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. I'll definitely be returning.

We've visited many times now, with family and friends and we've found consistently good food, tasty cocktails (virgin Margarita is delicious!) lovely vibe and great service. Fab addition to the fell.

Beautiful Sunday dinner & fabulous service

Visited for Sunday lunch for our first visit we will definitely be back very friendly staff

The restaurant is beautiful, quiet and charming. The oysters were fresh, beef wellington was very salty but otherwise great, and the desserts were amazing! The staff were very nice and polite. Overall very pleasant experience. And the price was good too. I did not expect to pay just £30 per person for side dish, starter, main and dessert, and coffee.

Lovely restaurant, food was gorgeous and the waitress was very helpful

Fantastic three course meal and excellent value for money. Everything cooked perfectly. The Rioja Tempranillo wine was also great quality. Molly looked after us brilliantly too.

Best Sunday dinner I’ve been out for. All the food was amazing, lovely atmosphere, dog friendly, friendly staff. Will be back!

Beautiful food in a lovely atmosphere.Owner and staff were very friendly and attentive.First vist it won't be my last.

This is a new favourite place of mine. Put it this way ...I've been 3 times in 4 weeks since my first visit. Absolutely flawless. Amazing food, great service, and a cosy atmosphere. I'm going to be a regular.

Nice place for good and a drink

Lovely Sunday dinner and amazing sticky toffee pudding . Friendly service and cosy modern decor. Definitely be back!

Been a lot of times for breakfast, never any other meal. The breakfast and the coffee is the best I've found in Gateshead. Really nice inside, lovely atmosphere.

Nice. Service perfect. Had the cheese burger with the lush chips and onion rings. If I had to be super critical, the meat in the burger was a bit salty, but still very tasty.

Great to have this brilliant place in our neighbourhood. Had brunch with a friend last week and had one if the best brunch dishes ever. Haggis with mushrooms and duck egg on sourdough toast. It was fab. Friendly stylish place with spacious comfortable seating. Excellent service and efficient friendly service. What's not to like?

The fishcake with peas and pancetta was amazing

Fantastic, will definitely return

My favourite place to eat in Low Fell. Really creative vegetarian and vegan options, lovely presentation and attentive staff. As much a place for a casual coffee as a celebratory meal.

Hidden in plain sight. Spur of the moment visit…….what a great choice. Amazing food, didn’t want it to end. I’ve had scotch eggs many times but never as good as this, just amazing and the cheeseburger was equally as good. Sounds like simple dishes but don’t be put off by it. They would never disappoint.

Great food, great staff, and a great place.

Delicious food, attentive and friendly service.

Had Sunday lunch on 15/10 food was amazing great service will be back for more

Amazing Sunday lunch, great vibes, fantastic cocktails and even better service!

First timers, absolutely beautiful space, food and service. We'll be back!

Food was gorgeous. Staff very friendly and lovely atmosphere.

First visit here for my daughter’s birthday. Lovely restaurant, great ambience, delicious food. Also dog friendly! Thank you to Grace and the Chef for the lovely little surprise at the end!

Great lunch at The Bonny Comet, absolutely lovely place. Great look, feel and ambiance. Food was lovely and good value. The Scotch Egg starter was absolute delicious!!!!!!

What a fantastic place, can recommend as excellent. Great food and extremely friendly and professional staff. Thanks for a lovely evening. 😍

Had set menu, food was great. Will definitely be going back

Great little find! Best food,great ambience, lovely attentive staff....highly recommended! Enjoy!

Such a lovely vibe due to amazing staff, stunning venue and the food is beautiful To think this is just on my doorstep beats some of the places in Newcastle Perfect little find

Went for an early tea/dinner Great food and great service

Excellent service , and beautiful food . Lots if gluten free choices x

The vegetarian Sunday lunch was absolutely gorgeous with delicious flavours and the sticky toffee pudding was to die for. The service was attentive and efficient whilst maintaining a relaxed comfortable atmosphere.

Really lovely place, chilled atmosphere, staff are great and food even better

Really enjoyable experience overall.

Food was delicious, service excellent if you don’t mind a bit of a wait, atmosphere and surroundings very good. The only thing in terms of value for money, most dishes were slightly expensive for what you got and was shocked at the price of the steak, not helped by the lack of transparency as menu only showed ‘market price’ but certainly wouldn’t order that again. Expected it to be a bit higher than the other main courses (and they were quite pricey). The steak was nearly £30 more than those!) Although delicious I’ve never paid anywhere near that much for a steak.

Very good. Fresh food, well presented and excellent service.

Absolutely gorgeous food, best company, fabulous staff and beautiful ambience 🥰❤️😘

Amazing tasting menu, good value quality ingredients. Really good friendly service.

It's the culinary version of the emperor's new clothes story for the people of Low Fell. Expensive and very average food.

Food is tremendous, service is with a huge smile, despite being fully booked and busy, service was quick and staff friendly

Amazing food and staff that seem to genuinely care about the service they provide.

Food superb, so lucky to have this restaurant on our doorstep. The place is done out beautifully and couldn't fault the staff, very friendly and attentive. We loved the new menu. Would definitely recommend The Bonny Comet.

Food and service fantastic. Definitely recommend such a nice vibe

Great service and one of the nicest burgers i’ve ever had, i would recommend it to anyone 👏

Great little restaurant, I love the Gluten Free options! The Full English was amazing I've never liked mushrooms but those mushrooms where amazing! I am already planning a trip to come back here as it was so good the first time!!

Lovely food and some great staff! A chilled yet cool feel about the place. Really enjoyed it! As did the wife. Would definitely go again.
