The White Swan in Gateshead

It's an amazing building, both from outside and inside. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend a concert here and I loved every minute I spent in there. Everyone was welcoming and helpful, all areas were nice and clean and the views from the building are particularly superb!

Always a lovely visit here . The food is always good and the staff are amazing .

Our first time here and couldn’t fault it. The service was great and very professional We both had starters one of them being the duck pate which was really lovely followed by steak which was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back

Needs a better eat-in setup The food was great but while we were sat eating we had people all around us queuing and waiting for collection so felt like animals in a zoo really... I had the Al Capone burger which was nicely assembled and cooked well. The pulled brisket was more like pastrami though. The chicken tenders were good but could have been crispier. I was disappointed that I had to pay extra for a dip and not only that, I paid for 2 because the server misheard me changing my choice... No other sauces are offered (e.g. ketchup, mayo, BBQ) and I had to ask for napkins. Definitely somewhere I'll try again due to the vast menu but I'll try to pick a quieter time. Next visit: Great food but still not met my high expectations... To my word I visited during a quieter time than the last time so had a much better eating experience. The chicken tenders were much more enjoyable this time around too. They were proper strips rather than large breast pieces. Super crispy and tasty and went nicely with the brisket gravy dip which was quite salty but that's not a bad thing in my opinion! It did seem like basic granulated stuff though and I expected some sort of brisket remnants. I went for the 'What a Whoppa' burger this time which was cooked nicely and assembled with care too. Great flavour from the patties but it felt like a higher quality big mac really. The bun was good quality but needed toasting and buttering because it was quite dry and plain. Some bacon might have elevated the burger a bit. I'll visit try again in the future I'm sure, and hopefully experience a burger that is a pleasing to eat as it looks on their Instagram.

Superb been going there for many years now alway a great meal and value for money 👍
