The best restaurants in North East

Cup cakes are beautiful and 4 for £6 is a bargain, man on the stall in Durham today was lovely, friendly and patient while we took a while to decide as everything looked amazing 👏

Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and owners who really care about customer experience. Top notch range of cocktails and friendly chat and advice. I hope Chris and Becca have much luck in their new venture. Cocktails are outstanding!

We've been here a few times but, since we last went, the owners have made the decision to be mainly takeout with a small amount of seating indoors and outside. We really wanted to dine in or sit outside and, with the outdoor seating being very popular today due to the sunshine, we opted to sit on the very comfortable bar stools at the side. Our yummy lunch was delivered in minutes and it was well presented in a little basket. I opted to get a takeaway coffee to take back to the car and it was delicious (and in a fully compostable cup). I thoroughly recommend the flat white and biscuit syrup which takes like biscoff. Overall, our experience was wonderful and it's clear that the staff really care about their customers and are super helpful. Thanks to all three of you for such as lovely lunch.

Loved it! I had a great dxoerience with my family. The host was very sociable, attentive and entertaining. Food was delicious.

Went for a trial shift here once and the staff are super lovely and friendly💎Good vibes and Good food :)

Pizzas and parmos are to die for! Absolutely delicious! My child commented best pizza they'd had. Fresh cut home cooked chips seal the deal! Good size portions definitely fill you up and make you want to order again. Delivered quickly by friendly driver. I would definitely recommend you won't be disappointed! Thank you! xx

Amazing place ..quality beers and wines to buy and you can also enjoy sampling in house ..lovely atmosphere , great music, warm and friendly :) Would highly recommend a visit 👍

What an amazing resource this is and much needed, it is so good to be able to stop for refreshments in a friendly and welcoming environment. The menu is good and reasonably priced and the service is excellent This is the perfect venue, friendly and non intrusive but a listening ear if needed and the opportunity to meet others. Not everyone drives and having this cafe at the entrance is perfect for those coming on public transport or anyone just wanting a friendly Face and a drink hot meal or snack... Well done to the owner and staff.. North Tyneside council. This is a real asset and I hope it gets your continued support. Carol Mulrine

Absolute gem of a place! The food is so incredible! Their “posh” chips are out of this world and their belly pork is stunning!! The smell of the fire fills the surrounding area (and smells great!) The guys absolutely beam with enthusiasm and pride and are so friendly! Quickly becoming a regular treat in our household and very lucky to have it in our area!

Regular weekly coffee very good price, staff friendly.

Went to see a band and I agree it is an ideal venue to go to for live music.TA categorise the venue as a restaurant but it should really be a music bar.

Met the mam himself there. The legend, Harvey. I am sure one day people will be wanting to visit his eatery as much as that Salt Bae bloke. Wonderful Chinese chicken! I'm sure the cellar bar will be open at some point soon!

Generous helpings of excellent food at reasonable prices, with friendly, efficient, helpful service & a patio where you can eat outdoors with a view of the River Tyne & the hills beyond. I found the place by accident, & am now a regular. I especially recommend their fried egg sandwiches (in an enormous bun), their delicious quiche, their original pasties, & their fabulous baked potatoes with salad. (And if you like spicy food, be sure to try their spicy onions - they’re wonderful!) Oh, & don’t forget to try their home-made soup 👍

This is a lovely cafe. A small menu but everything is first rate. The cakes are absolutely awesome. Really good coffee. The owner is really friendly and you feel very welcome. Looking forward to coming in the summer and being able to sit outside.

Definitely recommend the pulled pork or hot beef sandwiches and of course the home cut and cooked chips. Staff friendly and service excellent, 10/10
