The best restaurants in Blaydon Gateshead North East

Tina and claire are wonderful! Great bar staff on a friday night. Great bar snacks

Really busy on Mother's day, but staff were really good getting the meals out. Food was really good and plenty of it. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely be returning.

Fuimos para el almuerzo del domingo y conseguimos un montón de todo y la carne estaba tan sabrosa y derretida en la boca. La camarera le preguntó a mi madre si le gustaría un plato pequeño ya que los almuerzos normales son grandes, mi madre tenía el plato pequeño y no pudo terminarlo todo. Bueno, definitivamente volveremos.

Excellent food and good value. 3 course menu runs up until 9pm on weekdays and only £9.95.

Room for a very clean. I am in a wheelchair. I had help from all the staff. Especially Katie. She deserves a payrise

Worst diner ever. Surprised it’s open given the service we experienced at the time was anything to go by. So unlike the theme of which we received in USA that’s it’s hard to believe it is the same chain. Staff serving us lacked the appetite for helpfulness.

Mi mejor amigo y yo nos lo pasamos muy bien en el servidor. Tenemos dos hamburguesas y más entrantes. El lugar estaba limpio y el servicio era rápido

Room and breakfast was a bargain. It is around the corner of the metro centre. And easy enough to find if pulling off the motorway. Rooms are a good size for a couple of nights. My bed was lovely and comfortable. There was a tv, and wifi, but no plug sockets on the bedside. The bathroom has a lovely deep bath and large rain shower head. The hotel is currently being refurbished but it doesn't cause problems. I would definitely come back. Staff are very friendly, but I was disappointed that there were no breakfast muffins. If you like continental breakfast then get up ear5. 12 am departure means you can have a relaxed morning.

DONT EVEN BOTHER- used to go here quite regularly as a family now they don’t even take walk ins- RUBBISH- what a shame it wasn’t even busy

Perfect as always and delivered early

me and my partner came here for some lunch after a bit of shopping, we stood outside unaware if we had to wait at entrance or just go in . no one noticed us so we walked in and asked “is it okay if we find a table” which the rude women working replied “well your already here aren’t you” we were ready to leave at that point as there was just no need, we still stayed and the food was lovely, could not fault the food, compliments to the chefs that day! the same women then dropped a piece of paper on the floor and kicked it in anger (seemed that way) then picked it up walked over to the bar area and threw it over the bar, terrible customer service from her. I expect a reply from a manager to explain this women’s behaviour?

El servicio es terrible! Cuando llegamos, esperamos en una cola para sentarnos ya que necesitaban ver si había suficientes mesas disponibles, a pesar de que la mitad del restaurante estaba vacío. Nos pusieron en una mesa extremadamente pequeña en un espacio reducido entre dos familias grandes, a pesar del hecho de que cada mesa estaba disponible al otro lado del restaurante. Había un espacio mínimo entre nosotros y las otras familias, lo que significaba que nos seguíamos empujando accidentalmente y nos seguíamos sentando accidentalmente y pisando los abrigos y bolsos del otro mientras estábamos luchando por mudarnos. Había un montón de mesas desocupadas, así que era bastante extraño que necesitáramos esperar para obtener un asiento y terminamos en un espacio extremadamente estrecho. No sé por qué no estaban sentando a nadie al otro lado del restaurante, pero probablemente fue porque el personal no quería servir a más personas y no quería limpiar más mesas! El servicio después de que nos dieron una mesa también fue terrible. Nos dieron el menú y rápidamente decidimos lo que queríamos pedir. Sin embargo, esperamos más de 40 minutos sin que nadie viniera a tomar nuestra bebida o pedidos de comida. Habíamos intentado encontrar un servidor, pero no había nadie disponible alrededor de nuestra mesa. Como teníamos poco tiempo, finalmente tuvimos que irnos sin comer ni siquiera tomar una copa. Cuando nos íbamos, el hombre de la puerta nos preguntó si habíamos disfrutado de nuestra comida, y le explicamos que habíamos estado esperando durante más de 40 minutos y ni siquiera habíamos recibido nuestros pedidos de bebidas. Se disculpó, pero no parecía que reconociera lo que dijimos. Definitivamente no recomendaría a nadie para visitar a menos que tenga alrededor de 4 horas que perder.

Kala was an amazing server as always, she always goes out of her way for everyone and makes the experience worthwhile, thank you!

First visit, definitely be back

Never been to sambuca before and I never really wanted too as I know it's a chain and the food is likely all frozen, mass produced, and thrown into a microwave, we called in because my daughter was off school that day and we had a trip into ikea, ridiculous queues for the restaurant so we left, she's pasta mad and sambuca having the afternoon specials on, decided on giving it a go, gut instinct told me not to bother, but my daughter ruled the roost on this occasion, 3 courses for just under a tenner, Sat down and ordered some drinks, my full fat coke was flat, great start, Starter: Potato skins- thick, greasy, with a side of awful garlic mayo, terrible, Main: arrabbiata- a very weak thin sauce, lumps of cherry tomatoes and sliced uncooked green chillies mixed into the dish, over done tagliatelle, my word, this truly was the worst Italian meal I think I have ever had, My wife had the lasagne, you know it's been in the microwave when it comes to the table in a silly little white dish thats hotter than the sun and its overflowing with bubbling cheese and tomato sauce, ridiculous, my daughter had the spaghetti bolognese and to be fair, this wasn't bad whatsoever, the specials come with an ice cream at the end, just plonked onto the table, no choice on flavours, obviously only vanilla available, (2 scoops) covered in a strawberry syrup that i didn't ask for, couldn't wait to leave, a truly disappointing experience, hand on heart i will never return to this chain again.
