Wyvestow's Bar & Bistro in South Tyneside

Always get a very warm welcome and staff are very attentive. Great value for the quality of the food and drinks

First time here, group of 8 for Sunday lunch and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Food and staff were great.

The food was excellent atmosphere very good service for food good the drink service was a bit slow but to be fair it was very busy we will certainly go back

Went in yesterday with a party of 13 for a meal from the Christmas menu. The table wasn't sufficient to accommodate all of us, so after a bit confusion we got another table set up. The starter was tasty what there was of it, everyone agreed the portion was a bit sparse. Got the mains and same again it was cooked ok but not the size portions other guests dining there were getting from the normal menu. The sundries were slow to come out, we had to ask a few times for the veg to come so we could enjoy our food. The main gripe was one waiter in particular by the name of Pavel. He was extremely abrupt with members of our group. It is off-putting when you go out for a meal and are trying to enjoy yourself. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Pardon the pun.

Great night. Staff were all fantastic even with a very busy restaurant. Food was delicious, huge portions. Restaurant decor was beautiful.

Lovely food but the service is slow

Lovely service and beautiful food ❤️

I ordered Feta Chicken which was devine. We enjoyed live music, tasty cocktails and incredible service throughout the night. Can’t wait to go back.

Great food, service, price and atmosphere!

Great staff and excellent food on a Friday night acoustic singer guitarist highly talented creating a lovely atmosphere

Went tonight for my 60th birthday. Food was delicious, service was shocking. Very disappointing. Would have liked a dessert and more drinks but took way too long. Not even busy by this time. Not the same since Vane left.

Lovely surroundings. Helpful staff. All round good experience. Been a few times and will be there a few times more.

Excellent food served in a welcoming environment.

Great food and delicious cocktails

Excellent food, excellent service!!

Fabulous food,only down fall lamb was a bit chewy,but we got over that,the rest including dessert was fantastic,service very attentive and beautiful surroundings,will deffs be back to try the menu mid week.

The food was delicious and very good value. The service was also good.

As always food and service well delivered, cant wait to return.

Great food, good service and value for money. What's not to like!

Delicious food, lively setting. Saturday was a busy night, nice atmosphere and people getting in the festive mood.

Always love a trip to Wyvestows! Visit regularly for drinks but last night had a meal with friends and the staff are always very attentive, food is lovely and ambience and decor are perfect. Live music adding to the Friday night feels and always a lovely cocktail.

Very nice place with good food however £25 for a bottle of wine cannot be justified

Thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. Excellent food. Excellent and attentive service.

We had the best time Friendly excellent service Super clean Delicious food

Really good. One of our party is coeliac and Wyvestow’s staff couldn’t have been more helpful or considerate. We had a lovely evening.

Enjoyable Sunday lunch although we would have preferred veg to be warmer

We always chose to eat here when dining out food is always very good although this time the lamb wasn’t as nice but we still enjoyed our food desserts are always very nice service is very quick staff very friendly all in all a lovely place to eat

Service was exceptional, food tremendous

Love this place George and Hannah great mine hosts Staff extremely professional . Live music nights make the bar area congested

We had a lovely meal and the service was very good and the atmosphere was enhanced by the live music

Amazing food, drinks, great service what more can you ask for. Staff are hard working and food out of that kitchen is incredible. Thank you.

Beautiful surroundings friendly staff gorgeous meal and a really great night.

An amazing restaurant. First time eating as I’ve only ever been in for the delicious cocktails. The food was outstanding and the service was second to non. It was my husbands 40th and there was a big group of us and they were so attentive.

Second time I have been with my sons food is delicious

My wife and I visited for our wedding anniversary and the food was impeccable! Quick service, attentive staff, the entire restaurant was immaculate! The only downside is parking, it’s not the easiest place to park, and it isn’t clear whether you can park at the Westoe rugby club car park (you can).

Nice place for a special occasion

Brilliant service, incredible food! Second time here and i want to keep going back to try more of a very well composed menu! I am not from the area but i wish i had a restaurant like this near where i lived. Looking forward to my next visit already!

Fabulous Sunday dinner, delicious tender meat (loads of it), served with perfect veg, gravy and Yorkshire puddings. Excellent value. Lovely friendly and polite staff and great atmosphere. Thank you

I would definitely go again and also recommend to others. I didn’t give full stars for the atmosphere because there was live music - a good singer - but despite that it was so loud I noted everyone was raising their voices to chat. I was meeting friends I’d not seen for a while and it was very difficult to hear the conversation. Other than that, I was impressed with the layout and the food was divine.

The food was AMAZING. We left sooner than planned. We found the live music a bit much. Would have stayed for dessert had there been a quieter atmosphere.

10th wedding anniversary, amazing meal both starter and mains, service and atmosphere also great. Live singer on in background, finished with some lovely cocktails. Can’t believe we have not been here before will definitely be back. Fantastic service from very professional and polite young lady think her name was Darcie. Fantastic service, polite and friendly, a credit to your establishment.

Lovely meal as usual, friendly but not intrusive staff. Food cooked to perfection

Great food, friendly staff and a nice place to eat. Loved the saxophone!

Lovely food as usual, service and atmosphere are great. A great night!

The BEST pizza - I ever had . Lovely pizza The staffs are amazing 💯

Been a few times for our meal and the food and service is excellent, only thing is on the mixed grill i think it should have something like tomatoes on the plate. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic food, brilliant staff, great atmosphere, best restaurant in Shields!

Fantastic meal.... Excellent service and great value for money

Great food, excellent service and, good prices. It’s always a pleasure to dine (or just have a drink!) at Wyvestows.

Great food, excellent service.

Food needs to improve, service isn't the best but it's a lovely place. Although the Sunday lunch is delicious.

Food was delicious,service was great and the place itself was lovely, definitely will return

We came to celebrate a 21st birthday, and have been left very upset and disappointed at the service today, after waiting over half hour for our table , we then wait over 45 minutes for our starter to arrive which for for some of the party was served cold. Main course again waited ages and the whole table was severed separately. Not a very good experience at all .

Just been for a 40th birthday meal with my wife. Food was exceptional as was the customer service from every single member of staff. I've worked in retail for 10 years and now work in a different customer facing role and this type of customer service is the service to be proud of! A massive thank you to everyone tonight for an amazing meal and experience and to George, thank you, you should be very proud of the staff working tonight. Will 100% be recommending Wyvestoes and will 100% be back. Thank you

Visited Wyvestows for my 40th birthday tonight with my husband and had such a lovely experience! The young staff working the floor were super friendly and attentive, the food was absolutely 10/10, trust me - we had all 3 courses 🐷 such a gorgeous setting and atmosphere, looking around the room seeing how the staff interacted with other customers it was as if we were sat in a room of family and friends. Couldn't recommend more highly, special mention to George for making our experience even more special. Will 100% be returning 💜

Disappointing meal in lovely surroundings. Would not go back

Waited 20 minutes for staff to take our order, would have been longer if I didn't get up from our table and approached a member of staff. Once order was taken, my order was missing when the food arrived, so waited another 7 minutes. Not a great experience overall. Unsure what the problems were as noticed there were plenty of staff working!

Great night out with fab atmosphere. Highly recommend

Young staff are spot on. Very enthusiastic and very polite and courteous. Meals, drinks, prices, ambience and good service made for an excellent night. Will return. 👏

Great food, great service would recommend.

Booked a table for 8.30 to have food with a friend and some nice cocktails, staff where great! We had a lovely booth and ordered cocktails which were great. Then ordered a pizza each both tasted amazing. Will be back again soon..

Food is ok and it’s a lovely restaurant, but the service lets it down, there was 6 of us and we waited ages for food and we only had one course, they could do with more experienced staff.

Service very poor. Food was tasteless some of our food didn’t arrive even though we pre ordered. Had to ask for cutlery won’t be going back

Read the reviews. Last night it took one hour for cold starters to come, twenty minutes for mains, 25 mins for coffee tea after coffee didn't come. Seriously food is the best but service is really bad.really bad. Restaurant owners invest loads in buildings, get the best chefs then blow it bay having young inexperienced floor staff. I'm all for young staff but they need training

Food OK waited ages between drinks delivered and food order taken, 2 starters arrived waited for 3rd then a long wait for mains, thankfully our waiter Jay was a breath of fresh air super friendly and helpful we were offered free desserts & coffee because of issues,but after waiting for the bill had to go searching for it, Jay again sorted it out as we had a taxi waiting

Jay made the evening he was polite , and made you feel welcome don't let him go ,!!! Service very slow due to the chef leaving night before , hopefully replace chef

Had a lovely Sunday roast there

Visited at lunchtime and very quiet. Food was absolutely delicious. Good range of beers.

As a big seafood lover, I had heard of the mussels starter, well that did not disappoint, probably the best muse broth I have had, so onto the main, Crap & Lobster risotto, well so,so disappointed, vastly over cooked, lobster very rubbery & risotto just a mush, first server asked and explained issues, took plates and left, when paying the bill, asked again, explained, next time you come mention it and you can have a free round of drinks, really, at £25 for a risotto, don’t think I’ll bother.

Small table stuck in the corner in packed dining room,even though we booked way in advance for girlfriends birthday. Strange menu,doesn't know whether it's Italian or Turkish or what.

Came here with my friends recently, i wanted to leave a review to say the service let this place down a bit! Took about an hour for our food to come which was literally 3 of the same salads and 2 of the same pastas. They did however offer a round of drinks on the house which was lovely. But we also never got asked for drinks for about 40 minutes at one point and struggled to get the waiters over as it was so busy. We had a different waiter every time - may be best to recommend certain tables to certain waiters? Food was lovely however barely any chicken in the chicken caeser salad :( As for drinks, quite steep to be charging £7.50 for a single gin and lemonade.. its shields not london!

Can never fault this place, absolutely fab

First time we have dined here, food lovely, decor great and lovely atmosphere, staff friendly

A pleasant welcome and seated quickly. Starters ok but request for bread to mop up tasty juices slow. No spoons. Cutlery not changed between courses. Chicken ‘Kiev’ just a nicely cooked breast with with garlic butter poured over. Other chicken dishes the same with a different sauce poured over. Veg included frozen peas! Pudding a disappointing claggy cheesecake, poor quality ice cream and squirty cream. Young waiter very nice but unable to deal with queries over meal quality. All in all in all an underwhelming experience.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and a lovely Sunday lunch.

We have dined here a few times, every time it's been outstanding. Highly recommended.

Been here a few times and I have to say the food and staff are fantastic !!! Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm back. 👍

Outstanding meal last night. The service and quality of food was amazing. By far the best in the area. Staff are brilliant and make this place. George is brilliant. Would definitely recommend and go back

Saturday evening dinner was the BEST. Waitress service was great. Food (BBQ Steak Pizza) was the best i’ve tasted.

Went here on Sunday and can't fault it. Very accommodating for special dietary requirements. Food amazing, quick service and a relaxed atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Will certainly recommend.

Fantastic food, amazing staff and great atmosphere, I would highly recommend for meals and just drinks

Had a lovely lunch with family. Service was excellent and prompt. Food was good, but too much olive oil on pasta ,for my husband.

First time going here, id happily go back. Food was really nice, sometimes when you go places and see prices you don't get your "moneys worth" the portions here are big so if you normally get a side with your meals (like me and my partner do) maybe don't lol the atmosphere and design of the place is great. Will 100%be returning

Vane, George and all the staff I can not thank you all enough for making our mams send off as perfect as you made it. I have been devastated from her loss, and having everything as perfect as I could have it was so important to me, and our family. You all did just that, the room was decorated perfectly with mams photos and flowers displayed so lovely, the buffet was just beautiful the chefs did her proud, the food was perfect. I know how hard everyone worked and how friendly and respectful everyone was. Mam loved going every Sunday for lunch, so there was nothing more fitting than to have mams wake with you. There could not have been a better place to celebrate mams life, in a room filled with natural light, bright and colorful just like our mam. You did our mam proud, and I will never forget it. Love to you all Derek and family

Fabulous restaurant and bar can't fault it

Great food could not fault anything

Taken here for a birthday surprise, fabulous time, great food, helpful and friendly staff, perfect night

Lovely Decor food delicious and staff so friendly
