The best restaurants in Cleadon and East Boldon South Tyneside North East

A bit pricey for a simple country pub. Remember it when it did catering and served very good wholesome meals which for a while was discontinued and at last has now returned to catering which I will review in near future. Fairly shocked by a simple single Bells whisky and coke costing a whopping £5.05 There is limited parking at back though do not park in the narrow road at the back as it upsets not just the residents but those living on the estate further alon and if lucky, you can find the odd parking space at the front. I do like visiting the place and it is very nice pub with a pleasant external sitting area at the back.

Just been into the Toby Carvery (also known as The Britannia) located in Cleadon Village. This place is well worth a visit as the carvery is really delicious and it has plenty of choice, there are also vegetarian and vegan options. I think it was all really good value for money. I will highly recommend this venue. For anyone who hasn't tried it, it is worth giving it a go, I think you will be very impressed. Their Tuesday quiz night was also really good, it was varied, fun and internet proof enough to make it virtually impossible to cheat.

I don’t normally like writing a negative review but I feel I must on this occasion. On arrival we found out there was no ice cream, which was a disappointment to our granddaughter. Still could have ordered in blocks of ice cream. Darren was very welcoming, he booked the table that we asked for which was great. However the venue was stifling hot, many customers complaining. Chef was lovely, happy and cheerful, great with the children. However I must say the food was a huge disappointment, dried and very sparse. No broccoli, parsnips, sprouts as I was expecting. Was informed that these are only on at a weekend !! And it’s cheap enough !! Pasta very dried, food all over the front of the unit, which I wiped away. Ladies toilets were filthy. If it hadn’t of been for our grandchild we wouldn’t have bothered. Now this child loves her food. Even she said she didn’t like her food, (we made no comment about ours around her). Toby if you want customer’s to be happy with what you are producing you need to be doing better. Just look at your competition along the road !!! Will we be back, unfortunately not for food.
