Amazing local community pub with great staff and a big selection of wine, cocktails and a huge amazing of lagers and craft ales. A rotational food service is also brought on-site most Friday/Saturdays which is a great option. Weekly/monthly events including the open mic night and fantastic comedy club are also an added bonus.

This community-owned pub was a great choice for a beer after a Saturday afternoon dog walk. There's a broad choice of quality beers and it's pleasantly decorated. It was a lovely place to sit, chat and enjoy ale.

It must be at least 15 year since my last visit, but I can say that the Ye olde Cross which is now a community run pub is 10× better & welcoming to families with their bairns & walkers.. even better you can fetch ya derg in. Beer selection is most excellent with a good choice of Cask, Keg, cans & bottles.. there's also a canny selection of bottles & can in the fridges with a choice to take out. As for the food.. the Ye Olde Cross offers some very, very good bar snacks from crisps & samosas to some tremendous gourmet locally sourced Scotch eggs. Will I return for another visit? Oh yes! And it won't take 15 year for it to happen

Incredible pub, run amazingly by Mick and the team. This is our local, and we hope, like everyone else I'm sure, that the team who run it, stay, or at least what they offer the community, is kept and unspoiled. Great selection of drinks, which is refreshed regularly, with plenty of activities throughout the week, both night and day. We had a party here recently too, after coming here for the past few years, and it was faultless.

Ye Olde Cross is by far the best pub in our local area. Having been in many years ago before it closed, and seeing what it's now become, you wouldn't think it was the same place! It doesn't matter what day you go, it's always buzzing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of community events and activities to keep everyone entertained. The drinks selection is second to none also, there's something for everyone. Numerous food pop up events and takeaway opportunities too. A must visit bar if you're in the area.

What a fantastic pub! There's an outstanding selection of beers (AF too), some wonderfully friendly staff, they're dog friendly (kid friendly too) and have outdoor spaces for those sunny days. They regularly host open mic nights, comedy nights and have a selection of food vendors most weekends. I'm certain you would struggle to find a better establishment!

Lovely, super welcoming community run pub. From the greeting you get from the bar staff, through the amazing selection of drinks available to the decor, everything is friendly, accessible, and cool. We often get into chats with other people in the pub because its one of those rare places where everyone feels at home. Great atmosphere, best selection of beers anywhere in the North East and a really interesting programme of events in their lovely upstairs space plus pop up food vans most weekends. Also fully wheelchair accessible.

Extra special place. The vibe and atmosphere makes perfect sense when you learn that about 500 people of the local community own it. The only community-owned pub in the Tyne Valley; and run by the fantastic Mick and Hannah. Plus great cask and keg beer and lager!!!! Plus a massive range of canned beer and lager! Plus great whisky!! Ask for Whisky of the Month or better still come to the Whisky Club, 7.30, second Wednesday of the month. £15, blind tasting four whiskies. Brilliant!

I'm slightly biased as I'm one of the hundreds of community shareholders who own the pub. The ever rotating beer selection is excellent, always something for cask and keg drinkers. The options for everyone else seem popular too. Regular pop up food vendors at the weekends but always reliable for a packet of crisps or two to wash down the pints. Keep a look out on the Facebook page for regular events and community activities. #Morethanapub

Was a bit down finding out the premier inn’s location isn’t the best but just saw this Chinese takeaway is in walkable distance and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be AMAZING. Absolutely the best Chinese food experience I’ve had since I came to the UK. HUGE portion but very affordable price. My mate said prawns and battered chicken are very authentic 👍. They also give free spring rolls. Owners are so nice and friendly. Strongly recommended
