The Dolphin in North Tyneside

Food was spot on but dogs on furniture is a put off especially on the tables

First time we had been great food all homemade and staff was lovely will definitely go back

Great little pub, never knew this existed, little gem of a place Very welcoming staff Nice, relaxing atmosphere Lovely pint of aspalls cider Love the proper fire Very clean and nice decor Definitely be back to try the food, it looked amazing

Went to celebrate my birthday. Couldn't fault anything. Staff and food were amazing. Will definitely be going back again.

Love this place and thrives local. Longest standing inn left in north Tyneside and great pint great food and a Sunday dinner is a must.

Went for Sunday lunch.. Food was amazing... Staff very polite and friendly 👍

Definitely recommend this pub. I’ve eaten here twice recently, December and January, both times the food has been really good. They serve traditional pub grub but it’s prepared fresh and cooked on the premises and tastes like homemade. The service is excellent, even when there has been a very large group of us and the staff are friendly, efficient and very helpful. Great local pub.

Amazing Sunday dinners. Dog friendly which is great.

Excellent food, service and great range of drinks. Staff are very helpful

** Dog friendly?????? .... popped in for a quick drink this afternoon. No room in the main bar so was told there was a table in the snug. Had my 2 dogs with me and we sat down. There was another dog in there so mine barked to say hello. We had literally not even taken our coats off, when this person piped up with "I don't want those dogs barking when I'm having my dinner". He was so rude and aggressive that we were not going to sit in a pub with that kind of clientele. BTW.. its a dog freindly pub with a separate restaurant... so why didn't you sit in there you ignorant prick! Will never go back again.

Beautiful Sunday lunch staff very friendly and a nice cosy pub

Called in on Sunday for Lunch..Unplanned. As never being in there before.,Was greeted with a warm welcome even so we didn't book.. As we where the first customers in,We got a seat and ordered our meals Nice Sunday Roast.. Got to say it was lovely.. Must mention the staff for the excellent service......

The Dolphin is a hidden gem. Flavour packed tapas, delicious, good quality, quantity, great value and friendly service.

Great pub, great food. Great for watching football

Good quality home cooking at a very reasonable price

Unexpected wow! We shared 3 Tapas and a bottle of wine for only £25!! The tapas were excellent, great flavours, freshly cooked, homemade and generous portions! Definitely worth checking out!! Hoisan pulled pork pancakes, delicious! Thai fish cakes, with real fish, definitely homemade, really good! Harrissa lamb patties excellent! Chickpea and sweet potato Goan coconut curry, lovely!

Great pub. Good choice of beer and such a good vibe about it

Great food great beer and great service

Booked for Sunday dinner and it was phenomenal. Thoroughly enjoyed everything, will definitely be back.

Great food. Friendly staff. Lovely back room for families and friends Many thanks.even catered for me and Smaller portion

Was there for a wake and the buffet was very good

Food was way above expectations. Freshly cooked, amazing flavours. Unassuming decor. Welcoming friendly staff.

Walk in on a very rainy day without a booking and the staff were lovely. They found us a table in the bar which fine by us. We ordered 2 Sunday lunches, lamb and beef. Food was cooked to perfection. All home made veg and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Couldn't fault our meal. Only complaint was that we had no room for pudding. Would definitely recommend booking. We will be back.

Very friendly staff, amazing food and a very good selection of ales, lagers and wines. Can't fault the place, very well kept local boozer.

Sunday dinner, absolutely amazing and very reasonable. I'd recommend at the drop of a hat

Just want to say big thanks to all staff and the chefs. First time here and a very warm friendly welcome and service. The food exceptional and well worth the price fab thanks again guys will be back

Sunday lunch was quality. Great service and friendly staff too.

Very disappointing service, order was not correct, server shrugged shoulders. When mentioned to the manager who said "I'll promise you it'll be better next time" but no offer of compensation as we still paid the bill. Bad hospitality considering we recently moved into the area and have lots of visitors. Fortunately there are much better places to frequent within walking distance.

Fabulous food and super friendly. The lunchtime specials are amazing value

Mid-week lunch, pleasant service and excellant meals for 6 persons. All reasonably priced, defo go again.

Been here for Sunday lunch three times now and every time the food is a very high standard very delicious, reasonable priced and good sized portions. The staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcome would recommend to anyone

Great atmosphere great food good prices

Fabulous Sunday dinner! Great food, service and value. Can highly recommend. So glad I booked a table as very busy but food arrived quickly, lots of fresh vegetables and lovely desserts.

Been here several times because it's a friendly local pub that serves good home-cooked food with specials during the day for mains and all day for a tapas/wine deal.

Dolphin. First class service, Food, Drink, Atmosphere top place.

Superb one lamb and one pork take away Sunday lunch. Absolutely delicious thank you deano and team xxx

First time today in many years and I highly reccomend it. Great food and excellent friendly service. 5 star.

Delicious food and a lush atmosphere. Great little pub.

Great bar, lovely food, big portions

Lovely pub with good beers and even better food

Sunday dinners are to die for! So good! Massive well done to the chef and management!

Staff and management not very welcoming

Really nice bar, often passed. I'm glad we stopped and enjoyed the ambience.

Just brilliant for food and drinks

Once again, we were not disappointed. Top food, top pub, top team.

Just had Sunday lunch here with my husband. We both opted for the roast beef, the whole dinner was absolutely delicious with plenty of meat and beautifully seasoned vegetables covered in very tasty gravy,this was our first visit here but won't be the last.

Attended a funeral wake. Friendly staff and they put on an excellent buffet.

Lovely Sunday lunch and great value. Will definitely be going back.

Great little pub, has large dining area at the back which is great for a family Sunday roast. Staff are always welcoming and polite.

Excellent choice of drinks, food is the best in Tynemouth. Very dog friendly, lovely atmosphere. Great for sport watching also.

Thank you for making us feel welcome. We enjoyed our roast very much. Lots to choose from and lovely service. I must come back and try the sticky toffee pudding!

We have called into the dolphin on a number of occasions either for a cheeky pint or 2 and some food and usual food and drinks come with pleasant and quick service as normal and again last night (thursday) food and drink served with speed and smiles although must say coujons were a little darker than normal tased lovely but a little too crisp for me, but my partner was eating them and she was fine to have them a little toastie otherwise a lovely night out and met some nice people good friendly pub and nice atmosphere

Popped in for a bite to eat today decided on the tapas deal fantastic food and service will definitely be back

Friendly staff who take the time and effort to welcome their guests. Our new favourite and when we’ve introduced family and friends they have all enjoyed the experience as much as we do

We were served large portions of hot food when dining here for Sunday lunch today. The roast pork (with all the trimmings) was moist and the hot beef sandwich (served alongside potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding and a serving of gravy) went down very well. Service was spot on too - it’s so good to visit an establishment where the staff know what they are doing.

It was top notch. In my eyes they are the best sunday dinner around !! But i went with an old pal of mine for lunch maybe tuesday.. and it was equally amazing :) he had the shin beef stew and i had the posh scampi and it was the best date we've ever had since 2019 thankyou the dolphin crew X

Having just been here for a family wake, we found the staff very friendly and proffesional. The food was exceptional, especially the chilli, highly recommended. Would strongly recommend this place for any event. A pleasure.

Unfortunately, a private function was being held in the restaurant, but there was a warm welcome in the bar and snug, which were quite comfortable. Service was friendly and efficient and prices were reasonable. Home made mince pie with shortcrust pastry was delicious; a generous portion with chips and peas. There is a good tapas offer with wine - the prawns with chilli were excellent. The car park is very small, but there is space for parking on the road. Is this a problem for nearby residents? I look forward to visiting again and enjoying a meal in the restaurant.

Lovely traditional pub, a warm welcome, great drinks and food...highly recommend

Very nice grate food and fantastic staff 👌

We have been here a couple of times now and can’t not give the place a glowing review. The staff are caring and friendly on arrival and continue like this your whole visit . The drinks were good and the food is amazing.. well done to all at The Dolphin what a great little pub well worth a visit if you are local or a tourist you’ll get one of the best northern welcome

Amazing .... Been a few years since my last visit, will be back soon for sure.... 👏👏👏

We stayed in North Shields / Tyne-mouth for a weekend and passed the dolphin a couple of times going to the beach. Thankfully we stopped had a look at the menu and sampled the beer - fantastic food, great beer and such VFM. Friendly run pub which. Is clearly v popular. Well done

Beautiful pub, lovely cosy atmosphere

Lovely pub gorgeous food brilliant value for money staff always very pleasant

First time I've been here got to say the Sunday dinner was amazing .I had the mixed meat combo which was huge .just a shame they have stopped doing the lamb .but will definitely be returning

Lovely Sunday dinner .friendly staff .Will definitely be back just sad they have took the lamb off the menu

Great food,,lovely staff great atmosphere

Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and Sunday roast was delicious. Wish I had a bigger appetite as deserts looked lovely as well

Good beer but lacking in atmosphere due to daytime TV showing

The Dolphin serves an exceptional sunday Roast..got to be no1 on the coast. Locally sourced produce cooked to perfection. Thanykou.

Great experience, nice and chilled here with a large selection of food with your drinks. Clean with realistic prices on there food. Look forward to repeating this experience again and again. Thks

Fantastic Sunday dinner all fresh vegetables and beautiful cooked will definitely be back

Haven't been to the Dolphin for a long. Thought we would pop in before we went to Tynemouth Festival and couldn't be more happier at the service. Staff were so friendly and went out of there way to help. I had fish and chips, food was amazing. Might be a bit pricey but it's definitely worth it. Will a million % be going back

Fantastic food and craking cold beer , deffo worth a visit.

We go to the Dolphin Quiz ,which is great ,and even better are the STAFF,who take your order from the tables . They are so efficient ,friendly and really add to friendly ambience at the Dolphin . 3 cheers for the bar staff . !!!

Excellent service and food Friendly staff

Great friendly local pub nice staff and really good food and excellent value with a good selection of beers and lagers perfectly kept.

Finally managed to get in to try the Sunday lunch after a few recommendations. Really enjoyed it. I went for mixed meats & whilst you usually get a smaller portion of everything, I ended up with loads of all 4 meats on offer that day. No complaints!

I enjoy popping in for a couple of drinks now and again. Nice to see the fire going these days over the winter and fair price for drinks. My only gripe would be that (personally) i don't think having daytime TV on is necessary -...

A popular pub not far from Tynemouth Village. Large restaurant area at the rear and bar at the front. Meals must be OK as there are always a few people in for food the 5 or 6 times we've been in, and popular times you'll struggle to get a seat in the bar. Staff are on the ball for your drinks. Small carpark at the rear.

Who ever has this pub now is putting a lot of effort in an wants to make it work. From Sunday lunch to watching the match or a casual pint, every visit was great.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Nice staff.

Went for tapas with friends we hadn't seen for ages. Food was fantastic and staff lovely. Highly recommend this fab pub xx

Food was a bit pricey but was worth it for the quality 🙂 salt and pepper squid with sweet chilli was lovely and the staff were realy friendly Thank you for making me and my colleagues feel welcome 🙂

Nice room food ok. But Sunday lunch was just too much thrown on a plate

Sunday dinner was good. I expected to be better after reviews, but some of the veg were undercooked

Lovely Sunday lunch. Good size portion and lovely fresh veg and served hot! Cosy surroundings. Dog friendly. Highly recommend

Visit for a family sunday lunch food nicely served piping hot and nice size portion

My partner and I visited the Dolphin yesterday evening for tea and it was absolutely gorgeous. Food was spot on, ambience is lovely and cosy and the staff are super friendly too. I think we have found our new local! We have booked in for...

Frequently visit - good value and wide choice on the menu, excellent food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

The tapas Tuesday deal is great value! Service was very friendly and very efficient/helpful. Blazing cozy fire. Food was plentiful and tasty. Will return.

Great Sunday lunch served here, I had the lamb and it was great quality with plenty of juicy meat and lots of trimmings. A good selection of drinks on the bar which were well priced and served by friendly staff. The place is dog friendly as well which is a bonus if you have or like dogs. Will return when next in the area.

Went there at the weekend there was 15 of us had 1 big table the food was very nice and service very good would go back there again

The food was lovely and it was a great atmosphere

Booked a table for 4 sat.30th Oct.first visit under this management. Great night food was first class all fresh veg.table service was excellent pub full good atmosphere well worth a visit will certainly be back

Sunday lunch not too good. Lamb very fatty as was the pork. Made staff aware when paying and they had absolutely zero interest at all. Won’t be returning here.

just had the clucking hell Chicken burger topped with mac and cheese with chips salad and a side of hot sauce, absolutely beautiful I highly recommend 👌🏼

Delicious food and lovely staff.

Lovely Tapas. Generous portions nicely served. Friends ordered Scampi and it looked amazing. Definitley better than average. Friendly staff
