The best restaurants in Ponteland East Northumberland North East

First time for us to visit Char Mausum and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Service was excellent and the food was fantastic. Best chicken pathia I’ve had. Everything was fresh and full of mixed flavours. 10/10 all round and can’t fault anything 👍

Popped in for lunch before driving home to Glasgow after arriving at Newcastle airport. Food is absolutely delicious! Baked potatoes were huge and very tasty. My husband raved about his soup and sandwich combo. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, wish I was closer to be able to pop back in!

I visited here for a cooked breakfast a few months ago but have also sampled their great lunches over time and gave it the best rating possible and proclaimed to all those who would listen, that this is the best in the area. Unfortunately my recent visit didn’t live up to my own expectations. Ordering exactly the same full English cooked breakfast, I was served by the wonderful staff here and picked a table. I was the only one in a waited for the quality to be put in front of me. Unfortunately the presentation let it down straight away. I wondered what had been put on the plate and found it to be a large upside down mushroom. I’m not that picky but every one I’ve ever had was the right way up? …ok that might sound picky! The yolk had been broken while cooking so I got a yellow looking flat egg. One of the sausages was burnt which was left on the plate and the other tasted a bit strange, so was left too. The black pudding was also a little dry. Strange that I was first in on opening and yet these ingredients didn’t seem fresh or the quality I experienced previously. The bacon was superb though! Now here’s the strange thing about this place. I’m used to salt and pepper on the table or at least some of those little sachets to hand. When I got the breakfast I was asked if I wanted sauce. I got it and the guy walked away. Went to look for the salt and pepper. No salt and pepper. I asked at the counter and the staff member turned to the same guy in the kitchen if he had the salt and pepper and he said “I’ve already asked him” before turning to see me standing there. Now this isn’t new. Myself and the family have joked on other visits that the condiments must be on rationing. Overall, disappointed on this occasion, but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back for their lunches etc. the girl on the counter is superb and I’ve always found the ambience of the place good.

Stayed here for business on more than one occasion and the staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent. The rooms are so spacious and the beds are so comfy clean and the staff really can’t do enough for you would recommend this very welcoming friendly place.I do travel a lot for business and stayed in a lot of different places and this is one of my favourites.

Average at best and pricy for what we received. Young girl on till didn’t understand order, had to repeat several times. Service abysmal. Food average at best, cold drink can and glass plonked on table, no ice, none offered. Wouldn’t recommend.

The management and staff were all very friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast.

Booked a table for our anniversary on the 16th for the 19th, arrived on that evening, booking hadn't been put in the diary . Was told they could fit us in, but would only be allowed 1.5 hrs for the table. Spoilt our special day.

India was incredible! Food was amazing too! Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian food in the area!

Great food as always, look forward to our next meal

Beautiful wedding venue staff so attentive and foods absolutely amazing 5*

Great experience here today for lunch; excellent friendly service and the food is top notch.. Will be back soon.

Simply amazing, the fish and chips are out of this world, and there is no doubt about it, they were the best I've ever had. This experience was also nicely paired with the customer service, the team are the real asset to St Mary's Inn

A dinner meal out for 12 was very good and served by very pleasant staff.

Amazing food and service. We have dined in house numerous times and also used the collection takeout service. The food is great

Good pub food. Nice environment. Friendly staff and efficient service. Easy parking.
