The Tudor Rose & Mamma Rosa Italian Restaurant in Gateshead

We called in on our walk to the end of Hadrians Wall. We wanted a drink and a rest! The landlady was so welcoming and friendly. She has only been there for three months and we wish her every success in her new venture. Served a great pint!

Britains best pub, woman behind the bar couldn’t do enough for us. Was that good we patched train to stay another night Will be back

Really nice pub with good atmosphere and even nicer bar staff who looked after us all weekend, would highly recommend!!

Fine as a pub, but they don't serve any food whatsoever, despite what it says on their website. They claim they have no control over the website.

Great place, wonderful staff and a mint atmosphere. One of the best places to come for a few drinks and food. Highly recommended to everyone

Great atmosphere and great selection of drinks. Provides friendly service and good fun on karaoke night on a Friday.

Place is amazing, friendly and clean. Always something on through the week. Staff are amazing&friendly

Always in, so welcoming. Staff are amazing.. favourite pub. Even put a photo up on the wall of me to include me when coming in … 100/10 recommend

Great people and better atmosphere, great for a quiet pint or a fun quiz night! The bar staff are friendly and the drinks are well priced and are poured well!

This is our local where we used to go for a few pints after work or sit out on the patio in the summer, but since it’s been taken over, it’s gone way downhill. It seems to be the new management’s mates that are always there and they’re all loud, brash chavs. I used to like this place, but having a few surrounded by people that have no social etiquette is not for me. Poor show, new management. Poor show.

7 of us went for food today ,the plates spoke for us, every one was empty, lovely food and great value thank you

Wen Tom ate my. CHESBURGER I WAS VERY ANGRY I called in patient 101 and he bit him I went on a rampage and killed half the staf after that all they did was lie there I may as well never come back

It was my first visit to this pub. It won't be my last. The staff are very friendly and I had the best pint of cider I have had for a while. Although the pub is a bit dated it is very clean, with a very friendly atmosphere. Back up north again soon, so will definitely be back !

We occasionally pop in for our sunday lunch very welcoming friendly staff fast service and the beef dinner are absolutely delicious you can also get take away dinners just take your own plate lovely beer garden at the front gets packed in the summer

we visited this pub two weeks ago and noticed the sunday dinner so we decided to return yesterday and sample the lunch well 6 different veg two yorkshires and a chicken breast that looked as though it came off an ostrich my wife had 4 slabs of beef both meals were perfect if the rest of the menu is as good as sunday lunch well they are on to a winner. great friendly service and good ale the most astounding thing was the price two dinners with all the trimmings £11.50 yes thats right two dinners for less than the price of one in the town and as I say it was quality if you are in the area give the tudor rose a go its a warm welcome good beer and great food!!! well done to all thanks again

Absolute JOKE of a pub. NEVER open between 12 noon and 1pm on a Saturday. Turned up 3 times on a Saturday lunchtime to find the door LOCKED, apparently because its WINDY! Limited food menu these days when they are open. Would NEVER go back. Hope they go BUST. Bring back the old landlord, who didn`t LIE to you on the phone, saying they open at 12, when they don`t!

I have been three times in a row and told there is no food on for one pathetic reason or another. My strong feeling is that it was during the very quiet off peak times and the manageress just couldn't be bothered to cook. It doesn't seem welcoming at all and the music was blasted right up when her daughter arrives from school so not good if you want a conversation. Locals seem to be treated okay though so if you are local enjoy!!!!

Very friendly with a warm welcome nice locals pub with food entertainment at the weekend heated smokers area bonus

Absolutely appalling customer service! I suffer from IBS and needed to use the toilet approx 20 mins ago but got turned away by the lady behind the bar and told I had to buy a drink before I could use the toilet! To say I am angry is an understatement, would you turn away a young child with there parent or an old person for that matter! Disgusting service and I will be spreading the word!

If I could give this place a zero - I would. I can't express my shock that my husband (who has a serious medical condition) was turned away from using a TOILET (a basic human necessity) by a very rude member of staff causing him great distress.Not only was he turned away but was told in the process (and whilst in excruciating pain) that he must buy a drink if he wanted to use the facilities. DISGUSTING.Would a child or elderly person be forced to part with money if they were in the same predicament? I highly doubt it.I seriously suggest the member of staff in question receive some customer service training to learn some skills in basic human empathy.

Just enjoyed one of the tastiest Sunday pub lunches I’ve had in a while. After having read previous reviews I thought I would ask about takeaway as wife just out of hospital, very friendly lady on phone told me that was fine and to bring with me my own plates and something for the gravy. After a 5-10 min wait out came two hot plates of food (chef had heated up plates to keep dinner warm) and my jug of gravy. Pub has a nice welcoming feel once inside and staff are very friendly and chatty. Now to the food, beef that melted in the mouth, 2 puds, roasties, mash and plenty of fresh veg what more could you ask for. Looking forward to when wife is back on her feet so we can visit again.

Really nice Sunday lunch - wanted something to take home to eat on a Sunday and my local pub really was spot on. Just took my own plate along with me and was given a huge portion of tasty home cooked roast dinner. The staff were friendly and the food was well priced, I will definately eat here again and will no doubt be back for another take away Sunday dinner.

Lovely food and drinks at great value. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. They also have good offers and deals nearly every day.

Dicen comida de pub todo el día - no lo digo. Llegué a las 7 de la tarde para el té y me dijo que la cocina había sido cerrado por un tiempo. Decepción.

Stopped off for a quick bite as I had a meeting in Newcastle and didn't know my bearings. It was a lovely pub,with fantastic food on offer. The guy on the bar was really helpful & friendly.

Después de haber visitado el local de IKEA - Mi esposa y yo decidimos parar para comer algo a la hora del almuerzo. Pasamos un hotel que no estaba sirviendo comida y vino a la Tudor Rose. Parece un poco descuidado desde el exterior, pero no dejes que esto te engañe. Por dentro es un típico pub local. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y elegir el menú limitado los domingos. Usted podría tener una cena de carne asada o pollo asado. Tuve la carne, mi esposa tenía el pollo. Su comida resultó ser un medio pollo con todas las verduras normales, budines Yorkshire (2) y una salsa muy agradable. Mi plato de carne era como tener dos filetes en el plato. La comida era abundante y delicioso - la carne fue probablemente uno de los mejores carne que he probado en mucho tiempo. Volveremos aquí de nuevo.

Llevé a mi residentes para su almuerzo de Navidad el jueves y las mesas estaban hermosamente ubicada, el servicio fue excelente y la comida era buena relación calidad precio. Una comida de 3 platos, todos verdura fresca y caliente, no me puedo quejar y todo por £9. 99 por cabeza. Lo recomendaría para una cena de grupo o para un buen almuerzo de domingo.

The Tudor has become my local in recent months. I've eaten there once, drank there many times, and murdered the karaoke on too many occasions - my apologies to the owners, Chris and Gemma. The atmosphere is tremendous, always friendly, never raucous. Mid-week it's chilled...

Internet says Food served weekdays 12 - 7pm. So does the board outside. Went at 12:30 in the rain - asked what food was on - We're not serving food toll 4pm. About turm - Leave.

Called into the Tudor Rose while the cat was getting groomed. Seemed a lovely cozy place, cheap beer, cheap food, staff were nice to chat to about the place so we arranged to go over on the Saturday night for a change. Saturday night came...

Buen ambiente, a 2 minutos de la puerta y la comida es genial. Ja me Hungry Burger trayecto te durante horas. patatas fritas también algo pesada

Called in with my parents after shopping for less than £5 each we all had an amazing beef dinner home cooked Yorkshire pudding which was huge and the beef was so tender! Would totally recommend a visit, can't believe the price

I go to the Tudor for a pint and some craic and it ticks all the boxes. Recently refurbished it's warm, welcoming and friendly. The quiz night is fabulous and the Quiz Mistress, Anne, is a star. The curries are sumptuous and the range of drinks second to none. If karaoke floats your boat you're well catered for by the hilarious and engaging Graeme. And if you like a bit of Americana....well there's the Ginger Elvis. What's not to like?

My brother in law loves a quiz night when he comes to England so we headed to Tudor Rose as Tuesday night is £4.95 for curry & a drink followed by the quiz at 9.Previous reviews fairly slated the place but I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered chicken passanda, beef madras and I had chicken jalfrezi, meals arrived promptly were extremely good value for money and full of flavour.The bar staff were helpful and polite, next time my brother in law is home we will be heading back. Can't comment on the quiz yet!

Went tonight for a quick and cheap meal. Wish we hadn't bothered.Between 3 we ordered a starter platter, and 3 mains.After 10mins my friends main arrived? But no starter platter? I complained and was told Oh it's just being made- an hour after we ordered we received the starter platter. And I asked where the mains were- to be told "Oh we thought you wanted the starter first"-erm yes an hour ago and ideally before my friend had finished her main! Main courses came 1hr10mins after we ordered-and missing half of what we ordered. The waitresses haven't got a clue. There was only two tables in and 90% of the food is fried. Everything was just vile. I don't know what the chef is on but its not this planet. And obviously doesn't know how to run a kitchen. Never again!!!

We've lived locally for years and used to enjoy the cheap and cheerful vibe.Sadly after it was taken over the service and food is appalling. No customer service. Food is bad. I miss Giovanni! We won't be going back. We've given them three strikes, now we're out. Local pub ruined. On the plus side, an amazing cafe has open just down the road called Dunston Staithes Cafe.

Just so no-one else makes a wasted trip here like we did, the Italian restaurant within The Tudor is no more.

A group of us - (10 students) were in the area, hungry after a round of go karting at the local track and in desperate search of a pub lunch on a drizzly Tuesday afternoon. The Tudor Rose came recommended and what a find! The pub was almost empty and the staff were quick to accommodate our request for pushing some tables together. The waiter / chef at the restaurant is a wonderfully friendly Italian man who introduced himself and was very patient with our order. We all designed from the amazing value set menu - £6.45 for a 2 course lunch. The food is great, well seasoned, fresh Italian food. The portion sizes are very generous indeed and for such a large order the food did not take too long. We were all too full for pudding but if we are ever in the area again we will certainly be returning - thanks for a great afternoon!

Have eaten here a few times and always pleased with the food. I enjoy trying new foods and here they do a Persian dish of the day, as well as grilled kebabs and flatbreads. Friendly staff and very relaxed. Great place for lunch!!

Regularly eat here due to the great personal service from the staff and food that surpasses some of the more expensive traditional Italian restaurants in the locality in terms of quality. A genuine, experienced chef who puts a lot of care and effort into every dish.

this pub/restaurant came as quite a surprise we were warmly greeted and served by the owner who is genuinely an Italian chef and has quite a line of patter. as we called in on a Sunday we decided to have the Sunday roast which was very nice lots of thick sliced meat and a big bowl of veg piping hot and nicely cooked to accompany it. an absolute bargain at the price. we did not intend to have a pudding for afters but the meal was so nice we decided to have a sweet to finish it off. now my wife must be an expert on sticky toffee pudding having consumed heaven knows how many in loads of restaurants and the one presented to her was declared" the best ever" and having had the fudge cake I have too agree that the deserts here are brilliant. no mass produced freeze dried product here these are made by the owners wife who he proudly informed us is a pastry chef. for a local pub this really came as a surprise to us a warm welcome nice food and a nice crowd of locals made what was just a quick lunch into an occasion

If you like your pizza to be thin, crispy and full of flavour then Mamma Rosa is the place to eat. None of the gimmicks of the American pizza chains, just authentic Italian pizza done to perfection and served with a smile. The Tudor could do with a bit of a make-over, but the food, a separate business run by an Italian chef, is excellent.

Called in here whilst in a bike ride and wasn't expecting what we got, sat in the middle of a housing estate just off the river Tyne nice walled beer garden where we could keep / watch our bikes, tudor style apperance oak beams etc real ales on tap good wine menu and reasonable drink prices food was mainly Italian pizza and pasta was a speciality with some English dishes on the special boards prices were again reasonable service was quaint but helpful Overall a good experience and we have since returned for one of there music nights with friends and was a great night

Popped in as it is just along the road. King prawn starter came with 2 long hairs in it which we got replaced. Next we ordered the marinara pizzas and while we waited the bar maid came out to say your pizzas will b a while longer as the chef has burnt them! When they arrived they were very watery and quite tasteless. Prices were good but i suppose u get what u pay for. Won't b eating there again.

A bit too slap dash. no organisation, which can be quite quaint in an independent, but here just led to disaster of burnt food, served at different times, i finished while my colleague was still waiting, toilets filthy...oh need i go on

The service here is warm and friendly. Food is tasty and plentiful with a good choice to suit everyone. Will definitely be back!
