Wheatsheaf Public House & Resturant in Gateshead

Our local.never ate here before till today .friendly staff and food to die for .we poved our mixed grill we even fed the dog to 10/10 from is two cant waot to pop along again soon !

Good honest food .there were 5 of us for tea, and none of the food disappointed the fish and chips had thin crispy batter, not the slightest bit greasy.the fish itself was so fresh that you could almost hear the fishermen singing shanties. Two of our party had pizza, a thin crust, and plenty of topping .Just like Mama used to make. Our ladt dish was a jalapeño burger nice thick juicy burger .The chips were freshly cut home made and really tasty. All 5 of us had our appetites filled with no room for pudding .Maybe next time. The young girl who served us was polite and attentive . We had 2 rounds of drinks, and our total bill was less than £80 .We will definitely return

When we arrived I explained we didn’t have a booking but as it was 1:45pm assumed that would be ok. Waitress said they were busy so would have a wait for food which I said was totally fine. Tried to order drinks at the bar and the stressed waitress told me to go back to my table as it was table service. Food ordered and what came was incorrect asked for a plain cheeseburger and just received a plain burger. I ordered jalpeno and chorizo burger and received a cheeseburger. My son was told to take his bike straight outside as the floor had just been replaced and we were trying to do this as I didn’t want the bike inside either!! A family with a large wheeled buggy were not questioned on their dirty wheels on the new floor! Food took ages to arrive and nobody came and took our dessert order! Didn’t dare go to the bar as it was apparently table service! Won’t be going back! Poor service and food, chips undercooked and only interested in large bookings!!

Great food, warm welcome, lovely staff. Excellent value. Visited for dinner whilst staying in area on holiday, so good we went back a few days later.

We live locally ( 20 years) and for whatever reason we have never visited before! Tonight we put that right and boy how I regret not calling in before.Fabulous home cooked food, brilliant staff,spotlessly clean. We will be back.

The food here is beautiful & the portions are big. We usually come in a large family group here and nothing is ever a bother to staff and service is always quick.

Fabulous food and service was great especially from a young waitress called Holly wel certainly be back

Wow amazing food, we turned up on Mother’s Day and sat in the beer garden. All dinners had been booked out (understandable on Mother Day) so we couldn’t eat. Nevertheless it was a nice day, the restaurant had a lovely spacious beer garden so we took full advantage. A cancellation had lead to us being able to have a Sundays roast, it did not disappoint. The two waitress’ , Molly and Nicole gave amazing service. Would highly recommend 10/10

My partner and I called in for a drink here last night (28th Sept) and then returned for a meal. The staff were all very welcoming and when we ate, the food was lovely. We had prawn cocktail and garlic mushrooms as starters, followed by lasagne and chicken and pasta with cheesy garlic bread to share for mains. Personally, my only complaint was that I couldn’t eat all of my pasta as I was too full and, even worse, too full to try the stem ginger sponge 😩 we’re planning on returning and having a child’s pasta portion in order to remedy this lack of pudding! 😂

No contract details for track and trace EVER collected. Young male server walking around inside and out with his mask around his chin the entire 1 hour we were there. Asked for menu 3 times before we were given one. Asked for water without ice. drink arrived with ice. Parents asked to keep their children close by. In fact the children gathered at the bottom of the steps where hot food and drinks were carried over their heads. Toilets rotten loo paper all over the floor. The fan in the ladies was covered in dirt so much so I thought it was fur.

Had sunday lunch at this Pub today and must say it was very nice.We booked up on the morning and arrived to be seated as discussed,The food was ordered but there were no starters being served.The food was very nice approx £9 per main course and a sweet for £4.The food was delicious and the service was very good -- just make sure the door is open at the rear to get access as per the signs.Would i return - Definitely.Would i recommend - Definitely but book a table to helpout organising tables.RECOMMENDED,

Had the Valentines menu last night... outstanding meal and value for money ... Highly recommend any of the dishes. The staff are lovely and carnt do enough for you..

Excellent place to meet up with friends. garden available for children and lively adults Food is good value and large portions.

My wife and I had Sunday lunch at this ph and must say it was very nice. We booked a table for 1pm and were seated straight away and our drinks order taken. We both had starters of garlic mushrooms and potato skins with 3 x meat main courses ordered by both of us. The food arrived promptly and was hot and nicely cooked.The service was very good and the restaurant was soon full by 130pm. There is easy parking to the side of the ph and the bar is dog friendly. The only reason I gave 4/5 is that I prefer mashed potato instead of boiled potatoes and mashed turnip instead of cabbage. Would I return - definitely, well worth a visit.

Nice staff and good food, it was quiet when we went but that's how we prefer it plus its all changed since the last time we were here for the better I think

Took advantage of being able to take our dog into the bar area and enjoyed a very tasty and wholesome meal served up from a decent menu by very friendly staff The cod wrapped in parma ham was very tasty and the mixed grill was huge and good quality The whole experience was very enjoyable - even if the bar area is a little dated and basic

Had a very nice mid week meal as part of a leaving party for a work friend Andrew. Everyone said they enjoyed their meal and I can certainly recommend the mince and dumplings.

Took eight of our family for a meal in the bar as one of them brought a dog with them, it was a good meal enjoyed by everyone, even the dog enjoyed the company 😁

Bland food. Cold restaurant and warm wine. I had such high Hope's. And was disappointed. Wont return. Tomato pizza garlic bread cold and not fresh garlic. Left horrible taste in mouth. Pizzas very bland indeed and stodgy base and not enough tomato. No parmesan or black pepper offered. Chips were cooked in old fat. Inedible. Wine was warm. Asked for a chilled one and was offered a an ice cube!! No no no. Sorry not a winner for me.

Visited this pub last evening do not be put off by the front of the pub, it is lovely inside has good a massive conservatory which is a dinning room. The food what can I say it was excellent could not fault anything and it was reasonably priced,ask about the portion size before ordering as it would be a sham to not finish all of it.The service was excellent too the staff very attentive nothing to much trouble well worth a visit. And a well kept pint.

Lovely food reasonably priced but even better is the excellent service from the lady who I think is the manager and the lovely young waiting staff. Well done and highly recommended.

The Wheatsheaf offers pretty good value pub food served up in either the bar or their restaurant by enthusiastic and hard working staff

The food here is freshly prepared with fresh ingredients. A good selection on specials menu which all tastes good and well presented. The staff are very obliging willing to help customers with special dietary needs. They are also pleasant, professional well presented.

Visited for late lunch and a few drinks in the sun, wife recommended after visiting with work so thought we’d give it a try.

We were a little disappointed that the pizza oven wasn’t on last Sunday. But the disappointment didn’t last long. The Sunday lunch was great quality for the price charged. We all had a good meal and deserts to finish off.

We’re not local so no previous experience, reading back through the reviews we expected a good meal and that is what we received.

New people in this restaurant who are very welcoming the place is bright and clean. The menu is adequate and the food well cooked. The waitress was professional and helpful making sure we were happy to be there. Overall a good visit

So we visited today as a family group and can not really complain about the food or staff

Food seemed ok, then we visited the toilet before leaving, it had not been cleaned for months, writing this feeling sick as if that’s what the toilets like I can’t imagine what the food prep area might be like. How can the toilets be neglected so badly every day? Such a shame as the food tasted ok and the trip to the toilet spoilt it all. :( deep clean needed ASAP

Called in here recently for the first time to give a try, the food was tasty but my starter fried goats cheese was a little over done. Main course was very nice and a good size portion. The only thing that would put me off from returning was the decor, it was clean and well kept but it didn't have the restaurant atmosphere.

Called in as was passing. Friendly helpful staff couldn't do enough for you Meals lovely all fresh Will definitely return

Lived locally for over 20 years and never visited this pub. On a Saturday afternoon was passing and decided to pop in and have a drink. Not many in but that was good. Staff friendly and helpful and we decided to stay and have a meal. Within about 10 mins the restaurant began to fill up and by the time we left was packed. We went for a Thai curry which we enjoyed. Only thing that could have improved it would have been the option of sticky rice. Staff were great and we will be returning.

Second visit for Sunday lunch and this was much better than last. The pork loin Sunday dinner is beautiful! The best pork I have ever had. We ordered sticky toffee pudding with custard for dessert and it was gorgeous! Kids played in the massive beer garden and made some new friends. The only negatives I have are the toilets need updating urgently and the beer garden needs to be maxed out to its full potential. So much space, you could fit a lot of children’s play equipment. Happy children = happy adults!

Hadn’t been in this pub for around 10 years despite living 300 yards from it. Popped in tonight for a couple of drinks and a bite to ear. The staff were very friendly, the drinks well priced and the food was very good. Big portions, tasty and reasonably priced. Now I’ve been in we will be back regularly

Frequently visit this place with my family as the portion sizes are massive and the prices are decent. Ordered off the special lunch time menu and got a hot beef and onion baguette. It came with hand cut chips which were amazing and was very well satisfied with my choice. Others in the party had sweet and sour chicken and mince and dumplings. Another amazing meal.

Have been here a few times and have not been disappointed. The service has always been great, Sam goes out of her way to help you. The food has always been lovely. Would recommend it to everyone

Just had Sunday lunch with kids and food was good. All 3 children cleared their plates which is unusual. Would definitely come back. Staff were friendly and prices were reasonable.

This place is terrible. I’ve just come back from here and had red Thai curry with chips and rice. ILook at the picture of the chips they were vile the place is soulless avoid!!!!

3 good meals one fish two meat all well served and cooked , at a very good price and plenty of it . the meals we had would have cost £60-00 including 1 drink each how ever our bill came to £32-80 including drinks

Quick tea needed so decided to try Mafaldas’ Kitchen attached to the Wheatsheaf. It was an excellent choice. Salt and pepper prawns went down very well and will certainly be a repeat order next time. All dishes are home made, including the desserts.

Had a lovely meal here on Friday. The king prawn starter came with a delicious coconut and sweet chilli sauce - I wish they would sell it in bottles! The mains were piping hot and again delicious. I had beef stroganoff and although for my taste I would have liked a little more paprika, it was still one of the best stroganoffs I've ever eaten and the meat was really tender. Hubby didn't manage to eat all his pizza so brought the leftover home and he enjoyed it just as much for lunch on Saturday! The waiter was well-mannered and efficient, and the background music was at the right volume not to be intrusive. We have no hesitation in recommending Nonna's.

This place has been a little hitty-missy over the years but it seems to have cleaned up its act with new owners and a new menu. Visited last week with family. We were a group of 7 and some of us arrived at different times. Staff were very attentive and brought us drinks and breadsticks before food. The menu is varied and has a good choice. I ordered a Thai red curry and it was fabulous. It came with rice and home made chips which were to die for. Others got mince and dumplings, cheese burger and scampi. All looked amazing. We stayed for desert too. The sticky toffee pudding is amazing. We have previously tried Sunday lunch here too and it was very good. We will definitely be coming back.

Great Sunday lunch, great selection of meat on the mixed meat trio, lovely fresh vegetables, piping hot, staff very attentive. Great value for money, sticky toffee pudding was delightful, great friendly place. Best Sunday lunch that I have had for a while in the area. Keep it up.

Called into the Wheatscheaf late friday evening and was not disappointed.. My wife and daughter had starters and mains which were all fantastic espically the white wine mussels. Staff very friendly and also very helpful too. will return again for the musells soon.

Had a lovely tasty meal, consisting of pizzas which were lovely and fresh. And seabass in a seafood sauce and gnocchi which was really tasty and served hot ( heat wise ) Give it a try. Could possibly do with some background music to give the place some ambience. Large Garden with plenty of outside seating and kids playthings. Would definitely go back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. service was excellent and so was the food will definitely be going back xx

We popped in to try as recently reopenend under new management.Very nice good portions cooked to perfection staff very nice lookforward to my return visit.

A new Italian on our doorstep we had to try it but left it a little while for everything to bed in.

Been calling in for a couple of pints during the day and can't fault the place. Been tonight for food and the match with the family; staff are excellent and the food was very very good.

Sometimes pop in for a pint after work and take my son in for his tea on a friday...very friendly staff i must say that.food was ok as we sat outside young lad gave us food with no cutlery or napkins...big mistake !!! For that only gave it 3 stars instead of 4

Our second visit since it reopened under new management. Another great meal in pleasant surroundings, all freshly cooked and excellent. Served up by keen and friendly staff. We shall return 😀

Had beers and stayed for a meal. Food was very good. A mix of Italian and British on the menu. Between four of us we tried both. Nothing left on the plates. Food is better than usual pub fare. I highly recommend a visit.

Had a great meal sirloin steaks were amongst the best we have had and the house red complemented them. The pub has reopened with new management in an Italian style "Nona Mafaldas". It has a pleasant play area/beer garden and the staff were friendly

Fabulous afternoon sitting in the garden of this lovely quaint Pub, service was excellent, food was very tasty and plenty of it, drinks served nice and cool just what was needed on a hot day, lovely surroundings of trees and greenery , very enjoyable afternoon.

After a recent recommendation and upon hearing that the Wheatsheaf is under new management we decided to give it another chance. We visited on the 16th December and were taken straight to our table. We both ordered a hot roast sandwich. The baguette was filled with beautiful beef and the home made chips were the best we've ever tasted! Beautiful food at a reasonable price, quick service and polite staff. We hope to return soon.

This is a soulless restaurant it resembles a sea-side café with pale green paintwork and basic seating. The food was alright after the manageress kept telling us that they needed shopping so items were off the menuu

Food was fantastic and very cheap. Clean and tidy also. Staff where very polite and very cheerful. Great for a pub lunch. Will be back

On a cold rainy day called in for a bite to eat . Very surprised at the friendly welcome the great service and quality of food at such a great value price . Varied menus and good atmosphere would recommend to anyone .

We turned up at the time we booked our table to find out that there was no record of our booking so two small tables were quickly put together.There was a fiftieth birthday party in the conservatory and a few kids were running about.We also noticed a poster stating that there was live music at 8.30.Two of us ordered garlic mussels as a starter and one ordered the black pudding stack. Both starters were very tasty and as I had decided not to have a starter I wish I had ordered one.Three of us chose the rib eye steak and I chose to have the mix grill. The rib eyes were one of the best tasting steaks my family have had,the mix grill had everything but the kitchen sink on the plate,but the biggest thumbs up was the HOME MADE chips and PROPER onion rings in a crispy batter.I could not finish off my meal as I was stuffed.The only off putting thing was that we had to ask for our plates to be cleared but I think that extra tables were being put out for the birthday party could be accomodated.

El personal era encantador, la zona de juegos exterior era genial. Por desgracia, el asador era completamente estándar. La carne estaba super exageradas y cayendo a pedazos.

Called in en route to the Arena, decent bar service, provided with menus, sat at the first table next to the door, be careful of the large square shaped chair as it's falling apart so had to change it, ordered our meals, 'whale' & chips...

Empezó mal con que lima plana fue sustituida por botellas de soda y cal y ninguna disculpa. Pedir comida y oído el caballero después de nosotros que dijeron que habría un retraso en la comida. Este mismo señor fue servido y terminó en 30 minutos. Fueron 35 minutos de servirnos sopa de ajo y champiñones para empezar - la sopa estaba aguada y setas nada especial.

Cinco de nosotros vinimos aquí para el almuerzo en un festivo. El lugar no estaba tan lleno, pero aún así terminamos esperando casi una hora para la comida (nos ofrecieron postres gratis como compensación). He de decir que, aunque la comida estaba muy buena y bien presentada.

Llamamos aquí esta tarde, con nuestro perro y estuvimos muy contentos de poder sentarse dentro y comer (bar restaurante, pero no cualquier propietario de perro dentro, apreciarán este! ) La comida era fantástica! Tuve la ballena! Bacalao y patatas fritas (delicioso). Ensalada, guisantes blandos, simplemente genial. Mi marido tenía pollo burger (un pollo entero empanadas mama) comimos unos hace 5 horas y todavía estamos llenos! El personal era encantador, así como algunos de los lugareños. Fue una sorpresa muy agradable y sin duda volvería otra vez!

visited this pub for the first time after work with a friend. ordered scampi (I know I could have been more adventurous) but what made the meal was the home made chips, you cant beat them. Presentation was fabulous staff lovely and friendly. would go back again (hope to go back soon) if you haven't been then try it you wont be disappointed)

Have to be honest I wasn't expecting much looking at the outside, but was in a hurry.Very Welcoming staff. Quite a varied great looking menu. Food was awesome, I had Creamed mushrooms and the Burger very affordable too. Thanks :)

We just popped in on driving past ... the place was very warm n friendly and set out very well... not knowing what to expect .. the menu looked great.. we sat looking out to garden which I bet is great in the summer for families..all I can say is the food was fantastic the chips are absolutely delicious.. we are definitely going to return and try the Sunday roast very very impressed.

After hearing friends describing how nice the vegetarian burger was I had to go and try it for myself, as I've just started my yearly healthier eating once again. The depth of flavour was absolutely outstanding and the sweet potato fries just finished the dish off just nicely. A must try dish at only £9.95 but if 2 adults dine they have a special deal on Monday - Friday Where you can have 2 meals for £15. Lovely new menu with a great choice for everyone's pallet. No one will be disappointed with all the choices available and to top it off children eat free too. Highly recommend the Wheatsheaf give it ago yourselves and you won't be disappointed.5 stars isn't enough.

called in on passing, and not disappointed. Friendly staff excellent menu.The food was hot, plentiful and tasty, menu explained offers available. We both had shin of beef, with dumpling and veg. excellent could not fault. We will be calling in again, certainly recommend

Great atmosphere, we were well looked after. Ordered from a great menu.I have got to say that this was the most fantastic meal I have ever eaten. Great service. I would recommend this establishment to anyone. Very inventive food at great prices. Well Done !!!! Going back for more very soon.

Four of us went down for lunch today. I had heard about new management/chef/menu and wanted to try it out. Good size portions and great flavours. Well presented and filling. I had the fish and chips which comes with crushed peas and tartare sauce. It was delicious and I would highly recommend. My mum had a dessert which looked great and she said it's the best apple tart she had had in a long time. Sister and brother in law enjoyed soup, and a mushroom sourdough starter as well as fish finger sandwich. All happy customers! Quality ingredients and great combinations. I'd go back again. A few people have reviewed and said price was disappointing. Not sure what they were expecting but my main course was £12.50 and well worth it.

After hearing it had new owners etc we thought we'd give it a try today and tbh it was very disappointing my fish was all batter and hard at tht my partner had the pork belly and it was so greasy on top of that no lager on draught and had to be poured from cans!!!All in all decorated nicely but the food has a lot of room for improvement

Recently refurbished, the decor is very tasteful with a lovely area overlooking the garden which is perfect on a Summer's day for dining or a few drinks. Always found the staff very friendly and welcoming. As for the food, everything has been delicious and I especially love their Sunday roast chicken dinner! The menu is not the usual standard pub fayre!

We live nearby and thought we would give it a try as we heard that the pub had new owners and a new chef. What a difference! It was nice and cosy and we were well looked after (+2 small children). Firstly the menu exceeded expectations. I can recommend the Prawn Bhaji as a starter and my rib eye was top draw!! My vegetarian wife went for the Gnocci. We were both impressed. The owners Kelly and Martin couldn't do more for us and they made the kids feel very welcome. Overall it was a great evening and we will definitely be going back. Quality food at a fair price too. Thank you

We've popped in here a few times over the past few months and always had a nice meal. Ok so it's a bit pricey but if it's good then I don't mind the price.So today we called in for Sunday lunch. I had chicken wings for starters. They looked awful, I think the chicken must have been anaemic before it died. To be fair they tasted ok but presentation left a lot to be desired.I had the pork loin and my better half had the beef.It was served with roast potatoes, a slice of carrot, a teaspoon of swede and a Yorkshire pudding.The veg was served separately in a dish and consisted of some kind of cauliflower cheese slop, red cabbage and this green stuff that had something to do with peas.The meat was tough almost tasteless and the veg, well I'd rather delete that from my memory.It wasn't great to be honest and we did tell the waitress who told us the chef was new and they had received a few comments.Not all positive either.So the bill came to £34.00 including 2 cokes. The place was empty when we arrived at 2.00pm and no one else came in whilst we were sat.We won't be back.

Great local pub which is also dog friendly. The food menu has also changed which is very nice home cooked five star ⭐️

Second visit in the last few months, both times food was delicious, massive potions, really great value for money and friendly, lovely staff

The staff are very friendly for food but the last time the menu was one price and were charged another and believe it or not you cant buy a half of lemonade with your lunch only larger glasses ...... in a pub unbelievable which cost £4 and £10 for our Sunday lunch. Today I called in for a pint and it was nowhere near a full pint plus they were pouring part bottles of wine into one bottle with a funnel so can't recommend the wine either.

Having googled dog friendly pubs just off the A1M, 3 of us stopped at the Wheatsheaf. Whilst the bar was very quiet they welcomed us all in, providing a drink of water for the dog straightaway. The food arrived quickly, although there was only 1 other couple in there (but it was a very wet Thursday evening). The food was excellent, large portions but freshly cooked. The staff were very friendly and the bill a nice surprise! An excellent stop and break for us all.

I visited here today with a very close friend of mine, we were warmly greeted by Martin and made to feel like nothing was to much trouble. We had both a Starter and a Main course both of which were gorgeous and beautifully presented. Martin was very attentive without being pushy. We will certainly be back and look forward to trying a pudding next time.

6 weeks ago visited since under new management , looked good, menu was fantastic great choice. Service bit slow but friendly , meals were very good. Then visited within 3 weeks, menu was smaller , meals were microwaved and tasteless, sorry don't what happened within 3 weeks but wont be returning.

Nice place, nice staff, you get a good welcome here. Service is very good. Sunday Carvery has been replaced by a menu. The choice is good. The food is very good, if a bit on the expensive side, but STILL !!! the yorkshire pudding is terrible. Exactly the same as last visit. It was hard - dried out - tough - it has to be the worst yorkshire pudding ever. If only they would change this, the whole experience would be so much better. It's not difficult - the frozen foods section of any supermarket has yorkshires that cook from frozen in 4 minutes - how hard is that. Sorry to go on, but it's not just me has noticed. Anyway, good place to take kids, nice outside area for the good weather days. Worth a visit.

Popped in on a sunny evening while out walking the dog. They have a lovely garden, ideal for children and if weather good, perfect for catching the sun all afternoon. We were welcome in the bar with our dog and ordered burger and chips. Was delicious.. A little pricey but worth it for quality food. Staff very pleasant too. Adjacent to coast to coast cycle path so good drop off point.

We always considered the Wheatsheaf to serve the best Sunday Carvery in the area so were very disappointed when we returned to find they no longer have a carvery on a Sunday. However, we ordered two Sunday Roasts from the Menu expecting the same quality. When the food arrived it was a good sized portion, however, the food was mediocre and the yorkshire pudding was so hard and crisp you couldn't cut into it. The pub has recently been refurbished albeit to a high standard, however, we felt the quality of the food let it down. The other thing to note is that their website is out of date and a Sunday Roast is now £12 for one course. We had a pint of beer, a coke and two roasts - total cost just short of £30. On the day we ate there no way did it justify the price. When we mentioned the price discrepancy the guy we spoke to wasn't interested and said 'they were having trouble with the website provider'? Very disappointed - Bring back the Sunday Carvery!

Today we phoned for a table of three, they fitted us in and were made very welcome on arrival. We were told it was a Sunday menu only today. We each ordered a different main meal and we were not disappointed. Great Yorkshire puds lots of gravy and more than enough vegetables. Meats were a good cut. Two of us has a great dessert to. Overall a great lunch, thanks Kelly.

Went for meal with daughter and friends, daughter did not like sausages on children',s menu so I tried one and bit into a tooth size bit of bone. I pointed this out to the waitress who took it to the chef who dismissed it as just a piece of gristle.My friend then bit into his chicken kebab and found a bone in it which was again shown to the waitress who said this would be pointed out to the chef and manager.When the bill arrive there was no mention of a discount but this was not the object of our complaintOn paying for the meal the manager had no knowledge of the complaints so the waitress was clearly lying to us, I was offered a discount by the manager but I declined as I told her I just was pointing out the poor quality of the food from her supplier,I cannot recommend this venue until they resolve the issues with their supplier

Went for the family fun day on bank holiday Monday. Great atmosphere, excellent staff, lovely BBQ and lots for the kids to do,m. There is also a lovely park for kids to play in in the big beer garden. Will definitely be back.

The Wheatsheaf dates back to the 16 th century .Recently refurbished it is a fabulous place to eat and drink .Large outside garden area with play area for children .Dog friendly also .Amazing food serving a great variety but hanging kebabs are a speciality .Friendly staff .

Excellent service, great menu and fantastic food. Refurbished and is extremely pleasant inside, with a lovely conservatory area. Large outside area with loads of play equipment for the kids, including a bouncy Castle. Really nice place to go for a meal.

My partner popped in here somewhat on a whim on Saturday. Neither of us had been in before but we will certainly be back! The food was absolutely fabulous, the service was great, the pub was lovely and clean (we sat in the conservatory area) and we were both really impressed with the whole set up - the gardens looked great and had good play equipment and a bouncy castle for the kids too. Food wise, we both commented that they were possibly the nicest home made chips we'd ever had. Often when you see chunky chips that like in a pub you usually get only a handful, or they're undercooked, however they were LOVELY here and a fabulous portion size too. I had the fish and chips (one of my stable dishes I usually pick when I'm eating out) and I must also say that the fish was lovely, the tartare sauce was also possibly the nicest I've ever had and I must say the novel use of the pea plant itself as salad was excellent as well. Something I'd never seen before and despite usually leaving all salad items(!), this was actually surprisingly nice!! :-)We will definitely be back!

I love this quirky little restaurant in Chester - Le - Street. A great value lunch.The food was excellent, well prepared and served. All the staff that we met were very friendly and efficient and made us feel welcome.We chose from the standard menu and the daily specials and all the courses were served in a timely manner. Fantastic little restaurant.I had the chicken liver parfait, red onion marmalade to start with followed by the lamb and both dishes were excellent and good sizes too! One of my friends had the sea bass, which she said was superb!Great work guys thank you so much.

Went along for a few drinks in garden and decided to grab a bite while we where there. We decided on the sliders which are three mini burgers done three different ways with homemade chunky chips, we decided to not have blue cheese on one of the burgers as we are not big fans but each burger was delicious. We shared the burgers between two of us but it could easily be a meal for one. Service was welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Yet again another excellent meal, been a few times during the week so we decided to try the Sunday lunch and it has to be the best I've had. I ordered the beef which was lovely and so were all the trimmings, my boyfriend went for the wheatsheaf burger he said it was amazing. We wanted to have a dessert but unfortunately we were far too full.

You know when you find something great you wounder whether you should tell everybody or try and keep the secret to yourself.The best steak and ribs I have had in the UK so far. Travelled all the way from Leicester but well worth it. Lets start with the starters the wings and ribs. Both succulent and well cooked. The ribs where so nice and well cooked, the meat just melted in my mouth. The quality of the meat was 10/10.On to the main course ordered 4 different steaks between us all perfectly cooked to our liking and the sauces where awesome too.If you are a chip lover you will fall in love with these bad boys, nice chunky and cooked to perfection. Finally the service was also 10/10.Staff and management very nice and welcoming. With a lot of morals and values. The service was incredible all night long.Thank you so much for a wonderful evening, we'll definitely be all back soon.

The establishment has just been refurbished and appears very clean, however, although it is a dog friendly pub, I was very put off by the number of dogs that were allowed to just roam around the bar not on a lead. several times I had to ask the owners of the dogs to stop them jumping on the chairs and basically standing on my jacket that was beside me. Each time the waitress came through from the restaurant area the dogs would run in to the eating area. overall a very bad experience and I do like dogs.

Been a few times over the years as just live up the road today was a spare of the moment visit and I can honestly say it was well worth it very nice food indeed we had a cajun chicken burger which came with thick home made chips and slaw and belly pork which was with carrott puree fondant potatoe and carrott crisps mmmmm amazing don't normally have a sweet but was that impressed with the main I indulged oh am so pleased I deem lime cheesecake with calvados sorbet ought of this world was very pleased with Bill as we had 3 alcoholic drinks each and the whole bill only came to £55 can't recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning very soon ")

Had a lovely evening meal here. We'd been three years or so ago and it was very tired. The new owners have it just right. A friendly, smiling welcome from the landlord and extremely helpful waitress. Good food and very good value. Two real ales, nicely kept. Good choice of wines by the glass. Recommend the ham hock terrine with lovely home-made pease pudding, and excellent soup. Lunchtime specials till five thirty. The food isn't as good as - say - Eslington Villa, and the ambience can't match Latimer's at Whitburn - but for a local pub, it is spot on. We'll become regulars.

The food here is excellent since the recent refurbishment. Wife and I dined here during the first weekend in April. The starters and mains were excellent. The only thing is the home made rolls were a bit hard. If they were soda bread they never said.Apart from that great food at a great price.THe restaurant deserves more custom. It is far better than the Barley Mow just up the road and not far behind the Lambton worm

Lovely lunch. All cooked to order, good value at £16 for two dishes. Hubby had chicken kiev andI had chicken curry. Staff friendly. Will come again to try Sunday lunch.

Fabulous new menu, great tasting food.Husband and I called for Sunday lunch, he had the beef and I had the chicken very moist, great roast potatoes. Now open until 4pm on Sundays for food.1st class.
