The Gunner in North Tyneside

The food was good for a cheap meal. I was fascinated as used to go here over 50 years ago when I was on a split shift at the local hospital. It's still very recognisable inside.

Friendly attentive staff and prices very competitive. Look forward to returning and sampling the food.

Good value food and drink down load the app 20% discount at certain times nice staff

Everything was fantastic, the staff are lovely, the food was beautiful and its a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and total value for money! could not fault it and will most definitely be going again and I have already recommended it to people...100% best place I have been in a long time!

Another lovely night in the Gunner, Lisa and the rest of the staff were friendly helpful warm and welcoming as usual. It's a modern pub offering an old fashioned personal experience. Food is lovely and very reasonably priced. The team at the Gunner always try to accommodate your needs where possible. A very rare experience in the modern age, we travel as far as the south of Spain and the Highlands of Scotland (regularly) and can honestly say that this is quite a unique experience, all down to the team at the Gunner, thanks team see you again very soon.

Still fantastic value!! 2 mains for £ 10.49... seniors lunch 2 courses for £4.99... Frienfly staff, a warm welcome and big sports screens. A regular for our family.

I'm disappointed with Scampi portion size. Quite small.

Propper pub with a great vibe inside and out

The constant of North Shields,friendly atmosphere & helpful staff, canny food, what's not to like?

Nice friendly pub, occasionally go here for food and chats with friends

Good food at an amazing price. The service is excellent. A great place to watch sports, especially the Newcastle United and England football games. Great atmosphere.

Food was awful, beer tasted sour. Awful lunch

We held the wife's wake the gunner could not do enough for us everything we wanted was there no problem at all recommend it

This place was lovely and the staff were very helpful we were did not book just turned up and had a good experience and good food and drink even though we have never been here before thank you very much for holding up the Green King standard 😀

Quality with a good price friendly staff. A regular haunt

Sunday lunch was lovely .will certainly go again.

Loved it, food atmosphere etc. We went lunchtime till 4pm . No kids , was like an adults only pub which was fab. Service great too .

Popped in for Sunday lunch. Roast Beef and all the trimmings and half of bitter for £10. Friendly staff. What could you possibly complain about?

Great choice of meals, friendly staff!

Nice atmospheric place, very nice service.

Absolutely loved the food and service at this beautiful pub. I'm over visiting from Australia 🇦🇺 and really loved the English vibe along with the friendly and over and above service. I highly recommend 👌

What a little secret Gem. Delicious food, the veg was plentiful varied and so fresh. The service was so friendly attentive and professional not in your face. Will gave us a nice quiet table and the young lad serving was so lovely and smiley. We will definitely be returning. 😍👍👍

Love the gunner staff are fab food is fab and service is super quick recommend to families and anyone really even the customers are lovely.

We were a party of 6 with a booking for the Christmas meal on Saturday 23rd December. My elderly Mam who has dementia starting shouting & swearing & crying out. The waitress Lisa was absolutely fantastic with our Mam & came over & talked to her & put her at ease, bringing her little treats & making a huge fuss of her. You could see this was so genuine & that she had such a caring nature. We were so grateful & so appreciative to Lisa for this small but huge gesture. Lisa, you are a credit to yourself & the Gunner are so lucky to have such a lovely thoughtful team member.

Male member of staff was abrupt. Food was basic, kids meals were way too small. Adult meal was tasteless and overcooked. Following on from my review and a recent call to the Gunner, I am happy to report a positive outcome and have respect for which my issue was dealt with. Thank you.

Enjoyable visit. Reasonable food. Decent service.

Diner was lovely and great service.

Christmas Day at the Gunner - what a lovely day. The food was exceptional, fantastic portions, the service was excellent and the tables were beautifully decorated. Thoroughly enjoyed it, not a single complaint.

Really impressed! Been before but not for Christmas dinner. Absolutely great! Fantastic staff, friendly atmosphere, food was lovely! We booked in advance and tweaked 2 courses due to a fussy eater. very nice. Will be back

Christmas dinner 2023, food absolutely amazing and plentiful! Felt really relaxed and comfortable! Not rushed in any way, staff checked we were ready for the next course each time. Unbelievable value for money at 43 per head for three beautiful courses! Could not have been happier! Staff are so friendly and absolutely lovely!

Lisa our waitress was absolutely fantastic. We were here for a xmas meal with our elderly mam and Lisa made sure nothing was an issue. She was amazing.

Lovely people great food good service

Really nice pub. Very clean with pool table and sky sports. Had a really friendly atmosphere

First class hospitality . Great service from a friendly and attentive team . 10/10 for customer care !

A wonderful experience visiting,,,food is also enjoyable,,have only lived locally for 2years and this local pub is certainly the best one welcoming everyone,,,well done for,,,staff excellence and a very happy experience,,,thank you all.

Lovely family pub in North Shields. Enjoyed breakfast with Mrs Clause. Good value food.

We visited the Gunner to have breakfast with Mrs Claus. We all had a fantastic morning.

Thank you, we’ve had a brilliant time today at the Christmas party. Lovely breakfast, lovely friendly staff, and great entertainment 😁

The Gunner is a fantastic local pub, the staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and warm. The food here is decent, on this visit we enjoyed the Sausage and Mash - it was quick to arrive, good value for money and very tasty.

Festive Fayre that was absolutely delicious. Started with prawn cocktail followed by traditional turkey dinner which was nice and hot. The table was set for Christmas, napkins and Christmas crackers. Food was served when we wanted it with exceptional service. Highly recommend and we might just be back for another!! The Gunner really is one of the best pubs around.

friendly good range of real ale couldn't be more helpfull .Great deals on dri ks.

Watched the match great environment. Staff friendly and efficient

6 screens in this pub. plenty chances to see the match.

Visited on a busy Saturday afternoon just before a footy match was due to be shown on the TV's, as we didn't have a booking were were allocated a 'reserved' table and advised we would need to have finished in a couple of hours which was fine. After ordering food we were served by a very nice lady called Lisa, who to be honest was probably one of the best serving staff in the whole Green King chain of pubs and restaurants, very professional, chatty and not in your face like some others. As my son has very recently moved to the area I am very limited visit again very soon. Thanks Lisa you were great.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and a welcoming staff, Lisa especially! Suggested for all the denizens of auld Shields, especially if you like chicken.

Lovely freshly cooked home made food.

Great place for beer garden and a pint 🍺

Nice food, very friendly staff.

Staff so helpful, food fantastic and very well priced and I have recommend it to family and friends.

Used too go here since I was 18 with my family in the old Harry blacklock days was a good pub then , now it's a pub with click and a miserable manager ,don't know why it's a greene king pub should have stayed a blue star pub , but you know some places chane for the best but unfortunately this one has gone worse.

This was the worst meal I have ever had in this pub .

We drink and eat here most weekends. The staff have became our friends they go out of their way for absolutely anything, nothing is a problem to them. The food is always lovely, I’d definitely recommend the kebab wraps they’re amazing. Whilst all the staff deserve a mention our lovely landlady Joy has to be the most kindest selfless person I’ve ever came across. Well done you lot you make the bar !!

Absolutely best food around and big portions. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend anyone to go you will enjoy it . 10 out of 10 .

Beers and telly's and pool. All you could want in a pub. They do food as well

Good town bar, awesome sausage rolls

Food spot on nice atmosphere staff friendly

As a coach driver, it's not easy to find somewhere with great food and hospitality. I came across this pub back at the end of 2019 and found it to be very warm and welcoming with great food. As I was in the area again in April 2023 I went straight to this pub and I found it still to be warm and welcoming, clean and tidy. Still serving good food. I will be back again. Keep up the good work in these hard times.

Always a great place to visit, whether you're popping in for a few beers with friends, a meal with friends or even dining alone you are always made to feel welcome by the staff. A great pub to watch sports in, with plenty of TVs, it's difficult to miss the action. Food is good value for money with plenty to choose from, you are covered from light snacks to juicy burgers and tender steaks.

Watched the cup final great atmosphere and good beer.

Good menu and food served quickly once you place your order

Clean pint friendly Geordie staff

Lovely place, nice staff, good atmosphere 👍 👌 😀

Good service, beer wasn't great.

Good food. Good price. Good pub

A Christmas Day dinner at an amazing price. Great food, catering for vegan and gluten free. Nice Christmas touches on the tables. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Very relaxing.

Really good so friendly so helpful

Lovely and warm even though every other establishment has turned their heating down. Food very enjoyable. My friend and I both had pies (Potato & Cheese and Corned Beef) which were very tasty with peas and chips. Too full for dessert but hopefully next time - fancy a few of them. Customer service very good. Will definitely return.

Regular at this pub,great beer,good food,great service !!!

Great affordable food comfortable surroundings friendly staff. Food is well cooked and tasty. A warm cosy place for a sociable meal and a chat. Child friendly too.

Nice surroundings good food and a large range of beverages

Meals always piping hot and love the gammon and the apple pie is tremendous Staff very friendly we will be back

A great place for a good value meal, staff are very friendly

Been long time since I've been there, cracking bar great staff 5*

1st visit today. Love love love that it's dog friendly. Food was delicious, well presented. And the waiter John was very friendly and delivered exceptional service throughout. Can't wait to go back

Very nice pub , cosy and plenty of comfortable seating. Great staff John Paul especially. Good selection of beers , wine and spirits . 👌

About as welcoming as the gates of hell, miserable barman who is clearly the one person in the world that can manage to serve a flat pint of Coors.... and at over £4.00, that hurts Not good at all. Won't be back 👎

Lived in sheilds over 10 years always drive past decided to call in was well worth it food was lush

Really can’t thank the management and all of the staff enough for all of the care they give to my elderly mum. Week after week they make sure she is looked after, make sure she gets home safe and they check up on her when she doesn’t turn up for her weekly lunch. They go above and beyond and my family and I are so thankful. These are old fashioned values that are rare in this era and really demonstrates how much this pub and staff are valued across the local community. Food is always tasty and good servings. A gem of a local pub.

Friendly staff. Good that they have calories on the menu.

Always friendly, good food choices and reasonable pricing. Great for watching sport.

Dog friendly, nice staff, nice food

good pub atmosphere > very popular, best booking table if dining in ! , quiz nights , sports screen

Good service and good real ale, Abbot Ale, Rivet Catcher etc.

Visited the Gunner yesterday heavy rain and cold. Ordered the all day breakfast which arrived hot and looking good, the negative was that as I was about to start my meal a member of staff decided to open the back door, it was pouring down and the draught was terrible on my back ( table 14) as the door was open all the time, I was so cold and uncomfortable that I left.

Always a warm welcome everytime we arrive.

Spent a couple of nights here with family and friends not long again, friendly staff and good food and drink. Would definitely be back

If I could give a non star rating I would, its shocking going there for food, I really don't know why I bothered but had my daughter with me walking past she wanted food so we went in, from past experience I knew it was going to a waste of time & money & my gut feeling was spot on waited 45 mins for food tasteless small portions, after ordering from the App I got told to do it at the bar in future it seems to be so short staffed all the time same two people rushing around. Had to take my daughter to get a burger on way home, she told me not to kick off with the service so I did not if on own I would of it was awful, I know a greene king manager & he has told me its a troubled boozer not great service at all no one can seem to get it right. But never again keep walking towards the takeaways

First time to visit. Busy but very friendly staff. Order using the app, drinks and food served quickly, good value for money and a good menu. Recommend it.

Brilliant, family friendly pub, top manager. Been again, even better !!!! Still going strong this place !! Always good beer at the best prices and the food is always spot on. Big Kris on the bar is the life and soul of the place, cannot knock it !!!

The first time for Sunday lunch and we weren’t disappointed. The size of the meals are amazing and so tasty, we both had hand carved turkey. We shall definitely be returning even though we eat here through the week sometimes too. Great value for money.

A regular for years; good food, lovely service, great atmosphere, clean and accommodating :))

Food good, excellent friendly service. Good atmosphere

Clean bright welcoming pub. Food good and white wine delicious 😋 Very limited parking.

Nice pub friendly staff who sell good food and drinks at reasonable prices

A decent 'estate pub'. Food was reasonable and a good price.

Lovely meal, terrific value, friendly staff. Definitely going again.

First time in ages been here only popped in for coffee it was like warm milk think they forgot to put coffee in .

Really nice staff and the place was awesome! Very clean and the food was fantastic.

Fantastic place, 7 of us booked a table on our way to the boat. They were very accommodating with us, we asked for the football and it wasn't a problem, we couldn't fault the service from the staff👍 absolutely 1st class, definitely book a table in advance.

Nice central family friendly pub with a good food menu reasonably priced and a good selection of beers and wine well worth a visit
