The best restaurants in Blaydon Gateshead North East

Lovely service today in the Bull from Tina and Claire . Lovely friendly inclusive atmosphere. Nice drinks and reasonable prices . Opening hours are a bit random .

Absolutely beautiful, was bloody gorgeous, would deffo recommend xx

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.

I arrived in Newcastle at 3 a.m., having driven 7 hours from Hastings on my way to Scotland. I had no reservation, but the very helpful receptionist phoned around other hotels in the area to try and find me a bed for the remainder of the night and succeeded brilliantly

Amazing food my favourite restaurant!!

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

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.

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?

The service is terrible! When we arrived, we waited in a queue to be seated as they needed to see if there were enough tables available, even though half of the restaurant was empty. We were placed at an extremely small table in a tight space between two large families, despite the fact that every table was available on the other side of the restaurant. There was minimal room between us and the other families, which meant we kept accidentally nudging each other and we kept accidentally sitting and stepping on each other's coats and bags as we were struggling to move. There were plenty of unoccupied tables so it was quite strange that we needed to wait to get a seat and ended up in an extremely cramped space. I don’t know why they weren't seating anyone on the other side of the restaurant but it was probably because the staff didn’t want to serve more people and didn’t want to clean more tables! The service after we were given a table was also terrible. We were handed the menu and quickly decided what we wanted to order. However, we waited for over 40 minutes without anyone coming to take our drink or food orders. We had attempted to find a server, but there was no one available around our table. Since we were short on time, we ultimately had to leave without eating or even getting a drink. As we were leaving, the man at the door asked if we had enjoyed our meal, and we explained that we had been waiting for over 40 minutes and hadn't even had our drink orders taken. He apologized, but it didn't look like he acknowledged what we said. I would definitely not recommend anyone to visit unless you have around 4 hours to waste.

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

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.
