The Shire Horse in North Tyneside

Unfortunately my wife had a fall leaving the kings arms which we visit regularly I would like to say a big thank you to Shannon who sat my wife on a seat and provided help and support also the young male nurse who checked for broken bones also some of the regular customers who were a great help also not forgetting Gemma who was very helpful many thanks to all the staff and customers for their kindness . And of course the food and service is first class Thank you all .jim & Carol cook (Irish)

Brilliant day for bank holiday, great entertainment organised by Lewis, great staff (Julia) and great vibes all around

We usually just call in here for a quick drink having never tasted the food before, but we'll definitely be back for meals now. My husband ordered scampi and chips and he was delighted with both the portion size and the taste. He actually said they were the best scampi and chips he'd ever had. My meal was also very tasty (mac n cheese). The lady who served us was very friendly and helpful, explaining how if possible, they would tweek the food shown on the menu to suit our tastes. She also said it was perfectly ok if I ordered a kids meal as I don't have a huge appetite, but always feel like it might be frowned upon. My husband was also pleased with his pint which apparently doesn't always taste the same in each pub so well done Kings Arms.

Came for Sunday lunch Service was good Food nice and hot when arrived Partner had the Sunday roast beef ,veg ,Yorkshire pudding said was lovely I had the bbq cauliflower wing salad which was lovely

Clearly short staffed and overworked but we were greeted with a smile, our order taken by Stephanie who not only took all of the orders but ran both bars single handed. We got our meal much faster than we anticipated and it was delicious. Staff so pleasant and attentive. 2 more staff members were called in and as soon as they arrived they immediately started work. A very pleasant lunch ,thank you

Really pleasant staff,nice variety of drinks ,was served by steph who was loverly and polite & always smiling,a credit to the bar.will be back nice place to relax

THE KINGS ARMS KILLINGWORTH. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Just popped in after shopping. Had a very warm welcome when arriving.The atmosphere was very relaxed It was very clean We decided on the steak pie chips and peas (which arrived with an extra gravy boat each) we were not disappointed. It was so tasty that we both cleared our plates (quite a rare thing). A very enjoyable experience. Thank you Steph and team. Will definitely recommend The Kings Arms Killingworth

Great friendly service. Surprisingly good burger. Lovely Staff! The team that were on Jemma, Steph, and Xander all did a great job

Sunday lunch was very nice, great fast service, friendly staff, beef was spot on, nice yorkie, good gravy, good value too

Excellent atmosphere, food was lovely prepared by crazy claire and served by the lovely jemma , will definitely be back

Quick and friendly service at the bar. Food order taken quickly, server was pleasant, food was lovely, we had fish and chips and hunters chicken. Pub was very busy, but no delays in food arrival. Shout out to Jemma for excellence customer service throughout all transactions. Food wasn't expensive and having a 30% off voucher was great. Would definitely visit again, even without a voucher.

The staff are always lovely and welcoming Steph and team can’t do enough for you. They’re now trying to different things for charity and to encourage people to come in

Great service and very cheap drinks Steph was very kind and helped us out with ordering food and drinks yessa yessa

Served by Steph, friendly and great service. Lovely food. Thank you for the extra serving of Jalapeños!!

Fantastic service, food and drinks staff really polite food came out piping hot and was delicious well done

Terrible attitude from a member of staff, very rude about mine and my families children which of one is disabled! Seriously need to rethink some members of staff! Definitely not kid friendly even though they have a 'kids corner'.

Always come in for a cheeky pint and a chat to the staff are always amazing. If I could pick them out it would be Shannon, Ethan, julia and lewis over the time I have been. Don't have food here much but always amazing when...

I visited the Kings Arms last week with my daughter, when ordering my meal the first question I was asked was “do you have any allergies?”. I am coeliac and therefore allergic to gluten so to hear an establishment go proactive to allergens was music...

Been in today to watch the football and for something to eat. They were totally run off their feet today but Kerry remained professional, and service with a smile! The food was good and but too full for pudding so cant comment on that. For...

Nicely decorated, been many times in the past before lock down , I felt as all the staff couldn't be bothered they seemed uninterested to serve you, or anyone, food was average unfortunately, we both order the sirloin steak which really wasn't very nice very...

I was served by Kerry who has really good attitude and very polite. Some great knowledge of gluten free food with amazing choices on offer. The puddings were delish!

I'm sorry but it was awful . Reheated fish was served and all it was , was burned batter . Inedible. Never again .

Every time I visit this welcoming establishment I'm greeted with a massive big smile from Steph and her team. Nothing is to much when ordering food or getting served at the bar what a delightful bunch hats off to you guys and girls.
