The Grainger Bar & Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

10/10 service, we did the bottomless brunch and we were never left with empty glasses, out server Siddhant was lovely, friendly and helped with everything we needed

They literally have a food hygiene rating of 1.

Great night out, attentive server for drinks and food. Music was a good mix and photo booth was a great addition to the night. Female staff very attentive when people drink a lot 😅. Only downside was the female toilets, most stalls were broken or blocked and there was someone selling things on one sink so there was limited room, can imagine they're better not on a Saturday night

My wife and I visited on Easter Monday. Although the decor and atmosphere is beautiful. The food was a real let down. Being from a fine dining Italian background myself, I can truly say this was the worst Italian food, we both have ever had. Garlic pizza mozzarella. Pale and under cooked. Potato skins with "yogurt dip" and some sort of Asian sweet chilli sauce over powered by Chinese 5 spice. Topped with fried rocket. (Why) Wild mushroom risotto was mush and sticky over powered by garlic and too salty from the amount of "grana padana" used. Would of been nice to have the mushrooms through the risotto, not dumped on the top. Onto the carbonara linguine. What was that. Sauce brown from the pan being too hot when rendering down the pancetta. Pasta was over cooked, cream was reduced too much causing it to split. Pasta was a bowl of tasteless grease. My wife had 3 fork fulls of her risotto and I could only manage to eat 1/4 of the pasta. We both had a cocktail each from the premium menu. Also a let down at £12 a pop. The menu pricing is ridiculous for what it is and ontop of that a 12.5% service charge. Taking the bill to close to £100 for a two course monday lunch. The only service was, to carry plates to our table. There was no actual service and I had to ask for a spoon to to eat my pasta. Come on guys, it's the little details like a spoon to be put down when a guest has a dish with a long strand pasta. The food is back street Italians at most. If it wasn't for the decor and ambience the place wouldn't have as much popularity. (Fact). Babucho has always been nothing but Italian so why now has it started adding in middle Eastern dishes, with bought in packet flat breads, even most Middle eastern takeaways now make fresh flat breads, Confusing but never mind, we will never be back. Food is same level as a sambuca for half the price. If you want good food and don't mind the decor go elsewhere and and save yourself some cash.

Excelente bar en Spittal Tounges, cerca de la BBC. Popular entre estudiantes y lugareños por igual. Dividido en un área de bar a un lado y un comedor informal al otro. Buena comida, incluyendo un magnífico almuerzo de domingo. Un montón de televisores para mostrar todo el deporte que pueda desear. Amplia zona de estar al aire libre para cuando el sol brilla. Lo más importante gran personal. Amable y acogedor para quien nada es demasiado problema. Y no toleran riff raff . . todo alrededor soberbio local
