The New Crown Inn in South Tyneside

For the 2nd time in the last 10 days we visited the New Crown for an evening meal, encouraged by your 30% off vouchers. As last week the meals wete excellent. I had Rump Steak and my wife had Hunters Chicken.

Very clean and kindly staff and also dekicious food

We popped into the New Crown for breakfast this morning very tasty 😋. The service with a smile that we received from Kaitlin was second to none. So if you want a tasty breakfast with great service the New Crown is well worth a visit 👍

First time I've been here, food was very good,I would definitely be going back.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch. Lucy did a cracking job, especially given that the pub was so busy. She managed our expectations about the wait for food, and managed to get our food out quicker than expected.

A lovely afternoon. Food was really nice. Hot and arrived within the time said when ordered. Lucy was so nice, nothing was too much trouble, thank you 🙂

Very friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and Lucy was a great host with a good sense of humour. What more could you ask for?

Booked with a special offer but would have definitely been happy at full price nice and spacious food very well cooked to everyones own preference and plentiful excellent service warm friendly atmosphere no rushing was first time but will definitely come back very family friendly

Went with family lovely atmosphere really cared for approach Lucy especially food really good no no nonsense satisfying really good value for money and each meal done to individual requirements then out of ten will be back

We had our organisations Halloween party there, and everything was fab…the buffet was served at the exact time we asked, and it came out hot and fresh! Meg was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble….We will definitely be booking future social events here👍

Great pub.....food always very good. Dog friendly.

I spilt my water and Charlotte and Georgia cleaned it up for me, very nice people 👍

We have just had the worst food in south Shields ever don’t go to NE33 3NG if you want quality but if you want poor food that is the place

Jess and Lucy were amazing. Meal was lovely, service was fantastic. Will recommend x

Great meal. Lucie was very pleasant, great service. Will be back

Have had Sunday Dinner at the New Crown, I would strongly recommend it. We was served by Lucy who makes you very welcome. All the staff are very friendly and polite. The New Crown also does very good meals during the week. If you haven't tried it yet, then why not try it today you won't be disappointed.

Lovely food, nicely cooked vegetables on the Sunday roast, great service from Lucy and the team

Hi went here for something to eat and drink.. Great food and what topped it off was one of the workers Grace..She brought are food and drink over but also had a conversation with us, she was so genuine and very upbeat and great at her Job. Thanks again Andy

Came for the psychic fair, but it wasn't very good

Been today for lunch and the food was delicious.. The atmosphere was very relaxed with nice mellow music on in the background and Grace who served us was very polite and thoughtful and always made sure our needs were met.. I will definitely be coming back in the near future as I'm very satisfied with the experience. 😊👍

Pleasant staff. Served by Lucy.food good tho there were no chips just fries.

My husband and I visited last evening with our son and daughter in law and our two year old granddaughter. We had two steaks ( surf and turf) which we upgraded to sirloin, a margarita pizza, a child’s margarita and a spicy burger. Services was very swift and food was excellent. Sometimes steak in a pub is a gamble but both steaks were cooked perfectly ( rare as we requested) and perfectly seasoned. They had great flavour and were juicy, not dry. All the accompaniments were lovely and presentation was excellent too. We also had desserts, which were lovely. The chocolate brownie sundae and banoffee tart looked good, little one had a lovely ice cream, beautifully presented so she loved having a real dessert too and I loved the apple crumble which was fantastic! I would also like to add that the staff were fantastic! They were so friendly and nothing was a problem. Our granddaughter loved chatting to them and showing off her toys. They made time for her which was lovely. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go again, it’s a family favourite now!

Went for tea with my friends, food was lovely and service was fast. Staff there were all friendly I was served food by jess and she seemed very hardworking and always had a smile on her face overall great experience! would come again!

The food was great ! The service was fantastic especially Jess she was so friendly and helpful.

Lovely service, very friendly staff (Lucie) food was great!

Lucy was more than helpful and the food was lovely, would recommend.

All the staff, including Lucie, gave me and my friends an excellent birthday meal!!

Our main server was Lucy and she did a brilliant job

Went for dinner as a family. Food was very nice and steak cooked perfectly when asked for rare. We had Lucy serve us for most of the evening and she was lovely and attentive. Other staff members didn't seem too happy to be there and were quite abrupt when we said we'd booked but they had so recollection of this. Ultimately the food was great so we will come back and hopefully be served by Lucy again!

We’ve been coming to The New Crown for a while now and the service and atmosphere is second to none. Lucie usually serves us, a lovely girl who always has a smile on her face and who is always up for a laugh.

Great service from Lucie! Always friendly and positive, brightens my day everytime i come in. Food was amazing. Lucie is always up for fun and makes me and my partner feel welcome. We come regularly and without fail Lucie always provides great service and a friendly face!

Great place, very busy due to great north run but service was excellent

Me and my wife got a meal today my wife git a jacket potato cheese and beans which was a joke sprinkle cheese and exactly counted no more then 8 beans

Lucy was great food was lovey lucy was an absolute gem made us feel welcome and made sure our food was great all round super star

They have just put the beer up again. Second time in the last couple of months. But the staff are very friendly

The food was very tasty and good and hot, waiting time was good and the service very friendly. Price very good as we used the vouchers. No complaints. The Where's Wally table is most amusing.

Haven't been in years but welcome atmosphere

Food nice , although sunday dinner not the best , staff welcoming and kind and good bar . Update . Went again 20 aug . Very nice food , nice staff once again . Soup , chicken wings , Marconi cheese was delicious !

The children's party's are just the best at The New Crown, great staff go above and beyond, excellent entertainment, children are entertained from start to finish, Thank You to all involved, it was a great day 🥳

Attended the Dance Party on Saturday 17th August and have to say the team done amazing, in this current climate it was great that the pub put this whole afternoon on for free, there was face painting, bouncy castle, games, pizza making, dressed up characters and great prizes! I brought my 3 year old granddaughter and 15 year old disabled great-nephew, the entertainment team were fab with both, aswell as all the other kids! A massive well done to Grace and her team, u’s definitely pulled it out the bag

Attended a family birthday celebration last night. Booked tables in advance with ease, ordered food which was all lovely and very reasonably priced. Staff very polite and the pub had a great atmosphere. Special thanks to Meg for arranging this who was helpful as always, she checked to see that everyone was enjoying themselves and had what we needed etc 😊

Great atmosphere attention to detail and super friendly staff who are so helpful and nothing is a problem to them entertained our little one whilst waiting for his meal fabulous views and staff making this a pleasure experience and value for money with panoramic views will be back soon

Staff lovey nice clean lovey place to have drink,will call back again

Had Sunday lunch with the wife, good portion , goldilocks Yorkshire puddings, attentive service in pleasant surroundings , will definitely be back

Lovely food which was enjoyed by all! Ideal location, being at the sea front. Very friendly staff with a welcoming atmosphere.

Lucy served us and was fabulous food was hot and tasty. The New Crown never let's you down

Terrible give this place a wide birth if you are looking for a decent meal.

Great food, great atmosphere. Service was really quick and the food was lovely. Lucy was amazing, Full of conversation and a great help. Thank you.

Reasonably priced food, great service from Lucy. Thank you!

Haven't been for a while but have to say the food was excellent. Steaks were lovely as were the trimmings. Staff very pleasant a quick service.

At a friend's christening, fab buffet and two lovely girls serving . Very enjoyable .

Nice to sit out in a warm evening, average fodder beer, but then again I have high standards, where are the all the local beers ??

Very enjoyable visit for Sunday lunch served by Lucy such a friendly polite young lady.

No food just had pint. Cruzcampo £5.60 a pint. 19/07/24.

I found the QR code website ‘order at table’ hopeless. I went to the bar and ordered there instead, as I was unable to view my basket and tried again; but there was just a total with double the items! It didn’t work with one of the bar staff trying - so our food was ordered at the till. Their card reader wouldn’t read my card in my Apple Wallet, so I used my debit card. We got our food relatively quickly. The steak was surprisingly good and the salad okay. The Jam Rolly Poly is bit small for £4.99, but hits the spot! Coffee is not bad - but the black is awful: like dishwater! Ladies toilets are terrible - no ventilation: the floor is damp with condensation. The sink overflows are all dirty with black mould. The main toilet door desperately needs painting. The toilet seats are all loose! Cigarette bins outside are over flowing and there’s broken glass in the car park…

Really enjoyed the Fish and Chips. Service and staff were great. We’re looking forward to coming back.

It’s ok. Never changed over the years . Hand dryers don’t work in the Gents Toilets . Not great.

Great staff and food, Staff member Lucy was more than helpful and went above and beyond when we came in for Sunday Lunch. Would definitely recommend!

Great food, reasonably priced and brilliant table service from Lucy.

A huge thank you to the staff at The New Crown. They were incredibly accommodating for our family gathering for my Nana's 80th birthday. We'll definitely be back!

Nice staff, perfectly acceptable pub grub, thanks folks

Yet another lovely evening at the new crown with friends. Nice meal and very good service especially from Lucy she’s an asset to the fabulous team.

Lucy cooks the best steak baguettes ever. Out of this world. What would the New Crown do without you. Well done.

Me and my family went in on Sunday to watch the England game. My mam was with us who isn't great on her feet. I asked staff if they had and spare seats, not only did they bring seats but they brought a table out so 8 of us all got to sit. Can't thank you enough for your hospitality especially as you were all so busy. Thanks again James.

The online order/menu was difficult to use because the search function was bugged and disappearing when clicked, and 3-4 meals we wanted weren't available (that may have been because they have a reduced menu on a Sunday as they do a Sunday roast, but that was unclear at the time). The food itself was very nice, worth the money. The desserts especially were very nice. The staff were polite if not a little distracted. Designated drivers beware, £3.70 for a soft drink is a little steep.

Amazing atmosphere and food was delicious, would recommend and will be coming back

Inflated prices and shrinking portions. Disappointed that one of our favourite places to eat has decided to increase prices and shrink portions. Had a "light bite" and although I don't eat much I was taken aback by how much the portions had shrunk and the price had increased. The daily offers no long exist on the menu either.

Had a really nice Sunday lunch. Served by Lucy who was really friendly and helpful. Didn't have to wait long for food to arrive. Nice pub.

Booked a table prior to our visit as there were 7 of us, including a 3 year old. Menu has all the classics for pub grub. I wasn't particularly hungry so ordered from the children's menu which was good as I hate food waste. All the meals looked very appetizing. My meal I'd asked for fries but they brought chips (probably hubby's,fault) When my daughter mentioned it to the very pleasant waitress she immediately went and brought fries The chips were shared between the men so they were happy. Lovely relaxing family meal , will certainly visit again when visiting South Shields

Popped in for a drink after a meal tonight and had a lovely time. The bar staff were really friendly and chatty and the atmosphere was great. Quick service.

Propa good chicken and dog friendly. Lucy is very good server give her pay rise!!

Had a lovely lunch today frist time food was hot and staff were lovely will be back soon

Food was lovely & reasonably priced. Our server Lucy was so friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Bar staff were lovely as well. We'll definitely be back

Went in with a friend for a spot of dinner, food was delicious and very well priced for the large portion size we got, good atmosphere and attentive service, I’m fussy and asked for a few things to be removed before cooking and it was all spot on. Quick service, I expected to wait longer than we did.

Lucy was a delight to be our waitress very well mannered helpful we will return x

Great food today and fantastic service from Lucy

Food is good, drink is expensive 😩

Ama,ingredients place to have dinner at the front of the sea side.

Lucy was very attentive with our order and checked several times on if the food was acceptable. She never stopped the whole time we were in the pub. We are here 3 or 4 times per week and all staff are always great.

Lucy was an excellent host. She was courteous and accommodating. Appreciate her efforts.

Staff very friendly and good with the kids. Love that dogs are allowed in. Put candles in my sons dessert and sang happy birthday to him. He was delighted!!!!!

Meg was our server and she was fab, she was so friendly and helpful from the minute we walked in. We had the chicken kebab and it was gorgeous.

Well over priced , over £10 for a lager and a cider.

I was there for a birthday party. Excellent atmosphere, excellent service and excellent venue!!!

All the staff were very friendly and helpful

I ordered the lasagne which was lovely, but unfortunately the salad was horrible + the garlic bread was burnt. So overall I would not recommend this establishment although on a positive the staff were lovely.

This was the first time I have ordered food here, I ordered hunters chicken the chicken was hard or was overcooked, the rocket was slimy, chips were fine. I would never order food or recommend food from here again. My friend ordered lasagne her salad was absolutely disgusting slimy and her garlic bread was burnt to a crisp. 2 very disappointed customers 😡

I had my 60th birthday here. The food was excellent, lots of it and beautifully arranged. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend this place for any occasion.

Our first Sunday lunch, absolutely gorgeous. All the meals here are lovely. Grace is an excellent hostess, compliments to the chef, loved the carrots. See you soon.

Lucy our waitress was amazing made sure our food was delivered quickly. Meggie on the bar as always gives a warm welcome and makes you feel at home ❤️

Lucy is a fab member of staff and very friendly and attentive as is the lovely lad with his hair in a pony tail who is THE BEST table cleaner and glass collector in the business. The New Crown has turned in to a really popular pub with a great atmosphere and lovely staff.

The new crown is a great place with good food and beer at a reasonable price. The service is excellent. The staff are friendly. We often go there 👑🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Best sea front pub and eatery on the beautiful South Shields coast-line. Lucy as always was the best hostess in serving our scran and drinks. She enquired about how our meal was and as per we replied positively as it was lush.

Lucy was a very attentive and polite member of staff, always checking we were ok and the food was good! Thank you Lucy, we have had a lovely night

Lucy served our family, we had great food and great service.

Lovely food and Lucy who served us was so nice

After a coastal walk, myself and partner came in for shelter, warmth and hydration. As soon as we came in we were greeted by the the most wonderful and sweetest barmaid - Lucy. She was full of smiles and joy, carefully asking our order and paid attention to our requirements. Lucy’s customer service was excellent and engaging. A wonderful experience and young girl to had met this evening. We will definitely be back.

Lucy was our server - lovely young woman, really polite and helpful

Lucy made sure we were comfortable and was friendly and attentive. Will come back

Lovely staff excellent food, staff member Kaitlin /Caitlin was more than helpful assisted us by the table as we were eating so we didn’t need to disturb our date, went above and beyond to bring out a sharing plate for us both to pick at with extra plates for less mess, was honestly perfect couldn’t fault it and she is constantly checking on customers and cleaning round Made the evening extra perfect without even realising
