The best restaurants in Ryton, Crookhill and Stella Gateshead North East

Best breakfast ever, enjoyed it very much. Coffee was nice too. Staff where lovely. Calm and quiet good for me being autistic

Best food around the lasses are class Fantastic food and good prices

Called with my daughter for the first time June ‘23 after hearing positive reports from friends. We weren’t disappointed in any way. Nice menu with savoury and sweet items - some lovely cakes on offer too. Service was A1 - parking directly next door and a couple of outside tables too. We enjoyed it.

Wonderful local place to meet for Breakfast, lunch, brunch and early supper. Friendly staff and large portions. After too many years, feels like family. Really care about customers.

Can't comment on food as we were only having drinks, cracking little pub very friendly staff and brilliant atmosphere with brilliant live music

Great pub. Had lots of nice beer here. I've promoted a comedy gig upstairs. Lovely management. Proper community pub

Lovely local restaurant. Great food and great value for money. Always good service and never leave unhappy ☺

Chicken and sweetcorn soup Is excellent. Black bean sauce & Cantonese dishes were very nice. Fried rice, chips and prawn crackers are good. Wasn't too keen on the house special fried rice needed gravy and more meaty bits. Would recommend a visit.

Kind of poor today, asked if I could swap some salad instead of chips out of the offer which they used to do and refused therefore charged a lot more. Batter was soggy on underside of fish and waiting time was poor, waited 30 minutes considering I was first in the building at 11am.

Absolute hell hole The whole place stinks of stale beer, drains and who knows what else, it looks like it hasn't had a good clean in years and the toilets are disgusting. The decor is absolutely bizarre, they've for some reason turned a traditional historic pub in the heart of old Ryton into this weird, grungy, dark place that has the vibe of a heavy metal basement bar. The neon lighting, strange paintwork and bizarre signs and scrawlings on the walls just add to the creepy feel of the place. If you're a cyber-goth you'll probably love it, if you fancy a nice pint and food in a welcoming atmosphere avoid it like the plague

Always been regulars but I’m not working due to covid 19 we’ve not had a Chinese in 9 weeks due to loss of income. Was so excited to hav our favourite Chinese. U now had to order then they text u to pay. So I waited & waited then rang to be told it was delayed. 45mins later rang again still delayed. She said I know you’re regulars but we’re very busy I said not to bother they will need their regulars back when this settles down. Obviously taking too many orders. Think I had a lucky escape as people have now said the food is reheated. Will becoming a regular somewhere else

Popped in whilst walking my dog. Staff were unfriendly and not at all helpful. No evidence of any stotties whatsoever was just told to look at the sandwiches in the fridge. No obvious menu to look at just the main board. Left without ordering

Excellent food served by very pleasant staff.

Great food, large meno with very detailed description of each dish. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great cafe food and service first class You also have little ollies garden nursery and bridgefields garden store on the same site
