The Queens Head in North Tyneside

The best batter on huge cod bites and pineapple rings. Chips done to perfection and plenty of them in the portion. I love their gravy and curry sauce too. Great, friendly customer service and fried fresh with a short wait. Plus to be able to park right outside. Thankyou

Lovely friendly host in this pub which had live music on the Friday we visited for a drink

Was delicious. They rang to say they were running late but it actually arrived within the time stated when ordering.

On Sunday the 17th of November i thought I would treat my granddaughter for a Sunday dinner. Going of some great feed back we managed to go to the ship inn at benton we arrived 20 minutes before we were booked in and that's when the nightmare began .a large group of youths were outside making a racket and rather obnoxious to customers arriving let's put that to one side on entering the pub we were met with a rather un warm welcome the waitress was more interested in what her boyfriend had been up to the previous evening. We asked for our table and were met with a load of faul mouthed cheek from her saying we had arrived to early so that to one side made our way to the bar to order some drinks the warm welcome continued there i asked for some drinks and was blanked coz someone she new was there and served him first I accepted this and eventually got served. The drinks were over priced and served in dirty glasses. We were told our table was available so went to sit down only to find the previous customers dirty plates and drinks were still on the table we asked could they be removed only to be told to chill out and when she had time they would clear up .eventually we got a clean table and waited to order our food .we ordered Sunday roast x3 after waiting another 25 minutes it turned up well it was disgusting under cooked served on dirty plates and basically wouldn't let a bog eat of them i complained yet again about the food and was met with a barrage of cheek I told my partner and granddaughter we were leaving .as we were walking out the door I managed to look into the kitchen witch is in a right mess and looked very un clean I will never be going back there and would strongly advise others to follow suit in my opinion the place needs shut down and new staff in place horrible horrible atmosphere horrible staff and basically stay well away from it please Please people if your after food go else were the ship inn at benton is a total nightmare

Best in the area, our family favourite & they even happily cater for our son who’s autistic & likes his pizza with no sauce. It’s a small gesture to some but they’re always so happy to accommodate us which means a lot to us. Great staff, great food & great value for money.
