The Coach Inn in North Tyneside

Visit this pub frequently with family and live in forest hall. It’s a lovely pub and we always call in for a drink on a nice day when walking the dogs. They’re friendly and welcoming to all of us, and we always get what we want. It’s a pub, so you get what you bargain for - we normally get two pints of Stella, and large glass of wine and a fruity cider of some sort. We usually get like snacky food to share, nothing too high end. Anybody giving this pub a low rating, for honestly can’t understand why (unless they really dislike dogs). There isn’t a waiter, it’s all bar service, but it’s honestly lovely and always and the staff are always more than happy to help

Had my daughter's baby shower there last Saturday, paid for buffet (very disappointing) felt like they had just got frozen bags of party food!! behind the bar - the fridges were empty - no bottles of beer etc not even any J20, he kept going to Aldi down the road to buy things! don't know what the hell is going on in that pub!

Decided to give this place another go when we heard the Jam Jar owner was getting involved in the management. Big mistake!! We asked for about 6 different drinks before we found something that was available, I am not talking complex cocktails just draft premium larger, cider or a decent bottle. We had to wait in between each question whilst the barman went to the end of the bar to talk to what I can only assume were friends or regular customers. We eventually got menus and ordered food which was actually ok, but when we asked for mayonnaise we were told by the barman it would be a couple of minutes as he was too busy. He then proceeded to go back behind the bar and talk to his friends / regulars.

One of the strangest dining experiences ever , when we perused the beer pumps was informed of the beers that were available as a few of them were not on , fair enough , no craft beers or cask, but never mind it was predominantly the food we were here for.

Wat a nice pub had great food the chef came personally to ask if everything was ok the steak and ale pie is fab will go for my Sunday lunch can't wait

Visited last Saturday for something to eat and a couple of drinks with friends. Very pleasantly surprised as there was live music on and a happy hour which was on twice during the night. The staff were very friendly and attentive and overall had a lovely night. Will definitely be returning!

Had an amazing Sunday lunch and drinks with friends and family! Staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning this Sunday!

Where do I start? Excellent bar staff let down by one terrible owner who really should sell this pub or just let it die in peace. I feel embarrassed for the poor bar staff who have to explain to customers that there is hardly anything to drink. I hope Jam Jar man comes to the rescue and starts running it on his own. What a complete and utter shambles.

What is it with pubs who let their beer supplies run out and bottled beers and no coke, no slimline tonic very limited drinks very poorly run pub

Have visited this local pub several times (it's close to my home) i was very disappointed, recently taken over as an alleged Gastro pub at approximately 7pm on a Sunday evening there was no menu's available,although condiments were on table's,a male appeared from the kitchen in a dirty yellow t/shirt (apparently the chef) followed by a member of staff who although the place was quite walked past my friend and I four time's before a pleasent young man (manager) greeted us and explained the discounted drinks procedure. Female's obviously under the influence and in charge of young children who were running riot, drunk female sitting at the bar puffing on E cigarette. It's a shame that this local pub has deteriated so much my only hope is the new manager gets a grip and fast.

After reading a review in the local paper how this Pub was under new management and was looking to the...

I went here to have a late birthday celebration with family. The service was probably the slowest we have ever experienced and when the food did arrive 3 out of 5 meals were cold. They had probably been sitting around the kitchen waiting for someone to serve them. The BBQ sauce on two of the Nacho meals was inedible and clashed horribly with the mayonnaise. What a complete waste of money. Probably ok for a drink if you weren't in a hurry as they have a kids play area. Goodness knows how bad it is when it is really busy.

We ordered and waited ages for our food which was cold when it eventually arrived. I think the price far outweighed the value of what was corn chips with cheese and pomegranate with bits of chicken and chorizo as small as the pieces of sweetcorn one member of staff attending so I suspect the meal had stood in the kitchen for a while. Value at £8.50? I don't think so. Told the solitary barman and after briefly arguing the meals were hot he said he would inform the chef. Never again.

Came in to try this place out after hearing lots of great feedback and wow were they right. I had the chorizo, beef and pulled pork burger and it was absolutely outstanding. Can't recommend the place enough. I want another now just thinking about it. The staff are also so friendly and can't help enough. The whole place has a really warm and welcoming feel to it. Will be back real soon

Called in with my wife for lunch. It took them half an hour to take our order then another hour for food to come to the table. Food was overpriced and not at all what we expected. Paid over £20 for the experience and came out feeling like we had been mugged. The place itself was quite pleasant and the staff were friendly but they just dont seem to know how to run the place. Dont think that we will be back.

We popped in to try the tapas after hearing the pub had changed hands . Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We ordered 5 dishes of tapas between two of us thinking that would be enough, especially as that cost £17. We had prawns, calamari, chicken wings, crab cakes and pork. There were 4 bits of each . Absolutely gorgeous, but for £17 we felt a bit ripped off and we actually came away hungry still.

they now do deliverys on sunday dinners.so tried them out for me and my family wish that i never bothered.never again an adult portion is like a babys dinner 1 slice of meat and and a tiny portion of veg.you can tell that it is not cooked by a chef just someone they have pulled in of the street it was rotten the kids also left there dinner.my dogs even refused to eat it

Sister and I looking to have a late lunch 2 30. Called in and asked if still serving. Was told two of the mains were off but we still found something delicious to eat. We decided to share so picked tai fish cakes with chilli sauce. Homemade tortilla with chicken BBQ and cheese and homemade salt and pepper chips. Everything was cooked fresh and so tasty. Very reasonable and good service. Will definitely go again.

The New coach Inn has recently had a major refurbishment and is under new management. It has returned to a pub which has a very pleasant atmosphere and the staff are extremely polite. Evidently the Tapas are supposed to be excellent can't wait to try them and the Sunday lunches look very good value

The staff are clearly finding their feet. They'd ran out of chicken and gammon for Sunday lunch so we were a bit nervous. However the beef and the pork were lovely and generous portions. I had a cheese burger and although I asked for it they did put sauce and such on however the manager was more than happy to exchange this for a new one. Ice cream and deserts were lovely and great portions. Waitress was more than happy to check if I could eat it due to allergies. And the kids were very happy with their mini egg gift! Will visit again!

OLA ! Senors SenoritasHad already tried the lovely burgers , or borgas, as us geordies say! so decided with some trepidation to give the tapas a go, was a bit worried as the last time we tried tapas was in Frigialana , a lovely Spanish village in the mountains ,(not the cheviots) and a pub in forest hall, no disrespect wasn't exactly the setting to compete! so surely they would not match the Spanish, well tell you what, they are not far away, opted for the 5 tapas with 2 glasses of wine, we were not sure whether to have 5 or 7 tapas but we compromised by having the 5 and a portion of the fantastic garlic bread they do , her who must be obeyed loves the garlic and I love the chilli, how about I just tell the chef to do half an half said the girl serving us, Perfecto ! love the garlic bread as it is served in the style of a tortilla so you do not get that stodgy too much doughy thing , that sometimes spoils some garlic bread, so to the tapas, very tasty potatas brava , nice piquent sauce, meatballs in a very tomatoey (is that a word!) spicy sauce, garlic mushrooms that were cooked to perfection and still al dente, some "Spanish" rice? and some prawn and crab balls , and of course the lovely garlic bread, my only regret we could have probably managed the 7 ! and will go for this next time because there definitely will be a next time, and the beef and chorizo in red wine will be on the list, if I could suggest improvement it would be top make the crab and prawn balls a little more fishy tasting but all in all a superb meal , served with a very cheeky red wine , one has always felt the merlot grape has a softness to it(awnlee kidding but sounds like ah kna worra terking aboot) now if they can get a decent and rotational real ale in, they will have ticked all boxes, a great addition to the local area and just what we need , I predict this place will go from strength to strength once word gets out , the challenge is maintaining standards and continually improving , staff are a valuable asset to any customer based service and can have a bearing on whether you return, the staff here seem genuinely customer focused and genuinely want to please . the Spanish call it tapas , we call it a picky tea and whats not to like aboot picky teas! adios amigos , Buenos noche

Visited the new coach inn tonight with my girlfriend for tapas, walked into a lovely ambience & log fire, ordered drinks and as we were in the 5-7 happy hour we hit button and received 25% off our drinks! We opted for the 7 tapas for £22 with 2 free glasses of wine and we were not disappointed, the tapas menu is simple but at the same time has a different variety, the crab prawn & chilli balls were outstanding & along with belly pork, patatas bravas, chicken wings, garlic king prawns, garlic mushrooms & meatballs I must say this self taught chef MUST be tried, the bar staff were very attentive & friendly & all in all the new coach in will be definitely be visited again! The beer garden is very cosy with modern furnishings & fairy lights making an extremely cosy comfortable environment, this place is newcastle/Jesmond standard on your doorstep without the bustle, 12 out of 10 coach inn, we will DEFINITELY be back soon!!!

Waitress / barmaid great but run off her feet. So understaffed. Kitchen service awful. Brought mains with starters. Sent mains back but when we got them back they had obviously been kept warm on a hotplate. So chips cold and rice hard. To be fair the waitress gave us free drinks and didn't charge for the meals we returned but she was totally let down by the kitchen staff. Actually, the food seemed to be of decent quality if it hadn't have been cold / hard / reheated. This place could be so good if the kitchen was better organised. Get some more / better staff and we might return. Until then .....

Not been in for a while and popped in to see the refurb and to sample the tapas from the new menu.We paid £17 for five dishes and two small glasses of wine. Food was delicious and quick service, it was quiet.The range of tapas was good.Hope this is a sign of things to come and the Coachy is back on the up once more.

Dropped in here tonight by chance and very pleased we did! Fantastic deal with the tapas and wine. Food was beautiful, staff very friendly and place was looking really good. Well definitely visit again (and soon!).

I visited here with a group of friends to try out the new tapas menu and was very impressed by the new menu and decor. It's just been taken over and you can tell that there's been thought put into the vibe they are looking to create - think a more laid back "as you like it" type feel. We got the deal for £22 where you get 7 tapas and two glasses of wine. It's definitely good value for money and we left full and rather tipsy (we ordered another bottle of red!)Patatas Bravas & the belly pork were my favourites. I'll be visiting again!

There hasn't been a decent beer of food choice here for a while now so I hope the new management can get it right.They are halfway there, food was good but beer choice still poor, hope this improves.A three rating is definitely a step in the right direction, I hope to increase that in the future.

Visited with the girls on Friday evening for some tapas and wine, loved every second, wine was lovely and tapas unreal, I would definately recommend it.. such a good deal too. Can't wait to go back.

under new management.the food now is fantastic.the chef harry has new menu and i urge everyone to try.the coriander & garlic crab & prawn balls are to die for with a mayo & sweet chilli dip.please go and try.

Went here for tea yesterday with a friend we each had the coriander prawn balls and shared a portion of peri peri chips, presentation and taste were spot on, will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu, I must mention the bar staff who were very polite, friendly and helpful the new management have got it right more people need to visit

Lovely food. Fish and chips great, kofta burgers excellent and great service going the extra mile to get more ingredients for the mac and cheese when it had ran out. Very good customer service too. We will be back!

I went with my grandchildren for lunch they had the children's meals & I had a burger homemade chips and slaw! WOW the burger was amazing as where the chips and slaw! Definitely eat there again...10/10

Rumour had it there was a new owner and new chef and new menu , always been a bit of a boozer in the past so went there with some trepidation, but glad to say massively surprised,menu is limited but that's not a negative because quality over quantity seems to be the principle , they seem to specialise in very special burgers but the Pad Thai caught our attention, but we were guilty of unconscious bias because we were not expecting much , surely only thai restaurants can do a decent thai, but hey what came was quite amazing, and they did not skimp on the chicken so great value, A USP was the fact they offered it mild, medium or spicy , , we were well impressed and we followed it with home made fudge ice cream, now we have many home made ice cream places at the coast , so they had something to live upto, this effort was superb, to be honest we find some of the ice cream parlours have the ice cream too rich, so it was as good as we have had doon the coast,we were served and very warmly welcomed by a lady with a southern accent, who was really friendly and genuinely concerned that we were enjoying our meal. my only minor niggle is real ale was off but the pint of boddys was next best thing , I understand Sunday lunches are good if anything near the standard of the evening meal we had they will be worth having - we will be back and thanks for the discount vouchers, hope you have success in an area that was desperate for something a little different

Lovely restaurant and bar burgers are out of this world and all homemade as well as the rest of the food and also going to start a delivery service on just eat. Staff very friendly and polite nothings a bother lovely family atmosphere and clean and tidy beer garden out the back highly recommend people visit this place.

Lovely restaurant, the new menu is phenomenal, staff are very polite and friendly, very highly recommend a visit

Can only describe the Kofta burger as nothing less than incredible. So tasty and the sauce they have on it is outstanding. The burger comes with either hand cut chips or fries with a choice of seasoning on. I have the salt and pepper hand cut chips. Absolutely to die for. Will definitely be making it a regular stop for food!

Came here for lunch after it being recommended following a refurb. Have usually avoided this place but I have to say it looks really nice inside and the staff are very attentive. Above all however, the food was excellent. My Thai burger was home made and really tasty and my wife's stir fry was also lovely. Have already recommended this to the family and I'm looking forward to going back soon. Hope they maintain this standard and make a success of the place.

I would just like to say my family took me to the new coach inn for a birthday meal we were a party of 12 and nothing was a trouble for friendly and must helpful staff very prompt service and the food was 10 out of 10 all the family were over the moon will definitely be back thank you

I called in for Sunday Lunch with my partner to be greeted with excellent service with a smile. We were seated immediately and orders some drinks. We ordered straight after the drinks arrived and chatted about the decor and style of the bar had changed from our last visit.The food arrived, it was excellent in view of the price we paid. I talked to the staff about what they're trying do with the place. You can see the staff are passionate at making this place work.It was nice to see.This is well worth a shot in my opinion.Worth ringing ahead I'd say their specials looked good.

Love the Sunday dinners here. They're so cheap and the food is amazing! Definitely recommend going here

Myself and 5 others have been going to the pub every Wednesday for the last 2 years, its noisy and not the cleanest of places but the staff made up for it, we turned up last night along with about 30 others (first time since before Christmas) to be told that the pub was under new management and the quiz would not be on.... the quiz master was not needed, they would be starting a quiz up at the end of the month.... it was a ludicrous situation, we ended up all of us including the quiz master at another venue nearby.. needless to say they were delighted to see us on a very quiet Wednesday night and happy to have us there every Wednesday.. The Coach Inn was left empty and shall be most Wednesdays from now on....

the sunday dinners are a joke they would not fill a hamsters tummy and i did not enjoy it as not very nice but eatable

Great friendly pub with a quaint surrounding excellent outside seating area with a bouncy castle for kids. Friendly staff with a good food menu

My husband and I have been here more than once for sunday lunch getting 2 good size dinners for £10 pint of lime and soda or pint of orange and soda only £1 each dinners are all home made and are delicious. From outside this place doesn't look inviting but dont be put off staff are friendly and theres a good atmosphere will definitely go back

What a charming little pub . A very good selection of drinks on tap and some really nice food .sunday lunches sell out very fast .lovely beer garden on sunny days .and some real charactures in the bars .live music on most weekends and plenty of sport on the teles a great litle local. bar staff and manager are very welcoming and chatty

Dinner was homemade, it was lovely. Yorkshire puddings tasted homemade. Good price, bar was nice and relaxed for the kids and staff were friendly. Will definitely return. Only negative is the chicken tasted a bit dry. Will try a different meat next time.

Lovely food - good price.Fantastic bar staff and very friendly.I would recommend this place to everyone.All food is fresh and home made - love it!!

Visited here for lunch. Good food at a very reasonable price. Nice area to sit outside. Just needs a few more ales on draught as only one which went off when we were there which was a shame. Very family friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Family of 4 all had different meat available nd the beautiful fresh veg was amazing x the yorkshire puddings to die for nd meat had plenty taste service was brilliant just so full couldnt eat pudding ! Definatly go back and recommend for tasty quality home cooked food amazing x

We went in for a sunday lunch and got the two large sunday dinners for £10! Couldn't believe the value for money, the portion sizes were huge and all homemade. Absolutely beautiful hearty meal and a great pub atmosphere. Dogs are welcome as well which is appealing to us as well. Would really recommend as great value and couldn't fault the food. particularly tasty homemade yorkshires!

Living local we have often passed The Coach Inn en-route to Sambuccas and always planned a visit, I wished I had done so earlier. When we arrived the bar was busy as the Football was on, I was greeted by the friendly bar staff who took our order for Sunday Lunch (£10.00 for two) and drinks. We say down and enjoyed the atmosphere while we waited for lunch, when it arrived the plate of food was huge....I had pork Lynne had beef accompanied by roast potatoes, roast parsnips, mashed potatoes, mashed swede, carrots, peas, stuffing balls, Yorkshire pudding (homemade) and lovely thick meaty gravy....I had to mention all of this because Quantity and Quality a rare combination. Two clean plates and two stuffed patrons. All in all we will be back, please don't drive by this Gem, pop in for a real friendly reception, good food, good beer and great atmosphere.

Took family been here many times and always happy with food and service. Home made food great taste and decent portions nothing too much trouble.

Nice quiet pub, friendly staff... Pleasant! Food is ok, cheap & cheerful... Chips are homemade and desserts went down a treat! If you want a cheap quiet meal with your family then give it a go... 2 meals for £10... Can't complain :-)
