The best restaurants in Ponteland East Northumberland North East

Food was much nicer than expected! Wasn't too keen on the egg fried rice or thai chicken- both tasted like microwaved ready meals. But the prawn and seaweed, the beef udon and the dim sum were all fabulous. Thank you!

Went today for a sunday roast, got a beef dinner with a side of mash and crackling. The dinner was luke warm, apart from the turnip which was hot. The beef was absolutely stunning and the rest of the food was nice. The side of crackling was meant to come with apple sauce, we had to go to the bar to ask for this as no one came over and asked how our meal was. Not really a biggy. The most disappointing part for me was how dirty the place was. We booked for 6, our table had not been wiped down and the food next to us had food underneath for the full duration of our visit, there was also what look like egg splattered up the wall. Overall, poor customer service and dirty even though the beef was amazing I do not think I would go back here.

It is fair to say that that we had a mixed experience here. We went as a family group and some members of the group really enjoyed their meals, but others found the food poor. My own meal was a large portion size, but felt like a definite case of quantity over quality. Another member of the group felt the same, and said her pizza was very stodgy. But the person that had the steak really enjoyed that. The staff were friendly but seemed uncertain and lacked confidence. It was very quiet on the evening we went, and there was a very sterile atmosphere. Perhaps some music would help, and some attempt to make it feel more cosy with the decor - it is all quite bland and there are still Covid social distancing stickers on the floor. All in all it felt quite average. Certainly room for improvement. If you find yourself here, maybe have the steak!

We took visiting friends from Canada for a midweek dinner. We all thought the food and service was excellent and will be returning soon.

Called in for a late lunch after a morning fishing. The fish and chips were excellent. The landlord is obviously passionate about the food. Call if you can you will not be disappointed.

Intrigued by Greek/Mediterranean vibe we booked Mambos for an early evening dinner. Reception staff showed us to a table in a largely empty restaurant and we ordered drinks, wine, mains and desserts and coffees afterwards. The waiter / waitress were really friendly and swift. The food was good and served hot, although due to the questionable orange/pink neon lighting, the chicken appeared perfectly no and uncooked. Note: it probably was cooked, only in appearance it was off-putting. Dessert and coffees were also nice. But here is the rub: for the first time in any restaurant on any continent, myself and partner were asked to vacate the table and finish our drinks at the bar while the restaurant remained with many empty seats. Poor management decision! I took back our generous cash tip from the bill wallet before leaving with great disappointment and will never return. Shame on you. You have good efficient people, good food and drink, but poor management decisions do not encourage local return business.

My partner & I came here on Sunday for a spot of lunch we both had Fish & Chips ( I had salad with mine instead of chips) I have to say the fish was amazing I would say 100 times better than you would get at a fish shop. The batter was so light & crispy and the fish tasted so good. The staff made us feel so welcome happy smiling faces and we did not have to wait long before our food came I would whole heartily recommend plants plus for lunch

Desayuno y cena muy buenos. Mucha variedad con buenas opciones sin gluten. Precios razonables. El personal realmente amable y servicial. Realmente recomiendo este lugar.

Went for mid morning breakfast, not busy waited 50 minutes for half warm food. When I asked for staff, where is the food it came out immediately. It had obviously been standing for some considerable time. Due to pathetic service, I overrun my parking place by five minutes and received a £42 fine. I will not be visiting YOLO again on account of poor service and poor food.

Took my 90 year old dad out for lunch today. It was great as carpark outside so he didn’t have to walk far. They make sure they take your car reg so you don’t get fined. The service was excellent, straight over with menus and took drink orders- staff were lovely. Food was amazing, dad had regular fish and chips which he loved, I had crispy beef salad- starter portion with chips- loved it. Price was reasonable- my only complaint would be that desserts were pricey- £10- so we didn’t bother but…. The meal was great and venue had atmosphere, I would def go back

The honey it's delicious. 2 stars because I paid for 2 340g jars odd English heather honey and 2 340g blossom honey. Only 2 jars were delivered in time for a Christmas present and I'm still waiting for 2 more after sending 2 separate emails. Phone calls not being answered

Called in at lunchtime for a couple of drinks. This is the second time but no more. A man, the same on both occasions standing at bar had the foulest loud mouth He was actually talking to the barman and two others Every other word began with "f' He had a dog with him This time he pulled seat out at one of the tables for his dog to sit at Absolutely disgusting. My husband mentioned to barman who grinned and apologised Not good enough

Fantastic food,very good portions and great value for money,the very best in the area. Eric behind counter is always very helpful and very friendly

Food lovely as always. Doesn't seem like staff can be bothered, no words spoken other than calling out order number - Not sure how they expect me to carry 3 drinks as 1 person - ordered 9 nugget meal and 6 nuggets given. Disappointing as food is always spot on!

Best kebab I’ve ever had and amazing home made chilli that makes or breaks it for me. The lady serving was fantastic so helpful and professional.
