The best restaurants serving British food in Bywell Northumberland North East

Great food, superb service and a welcoming atmosphere. Just make sure that if you come for a meal that you are hungry, very hungry...the portions are large and delicious... Great place for a casual dinner or just dropping in for a quick pint. Parking can be an issue but it's worth the walk... A real all season Pub that embraces events and includes outdoor seating for alfresco dining if the weather permits. A wonderful place alongside theTyne that should not be overlooked..

Another brilliant meal at Winships, beautiful calamari, mussels, and pasta. Brilliant service from Jack also. Lost count of the great meals we've had here now! Couldn't recommend enough.

For some reason we had not been here for some time and walking through the doors on a dark and windy Halloween evening immediately wondered why not? The food choice and quality is top class. As are the friendly and very efficient staff - both in the restaurant and at the bar. While the decor and ambience is everything you could hope for in a lovely country pub, restaurant and hotel. Excellent value too. We felt welcomed and treated in a special place where the staff - front of house and kitchen - made that extra effort to ensure everyone went home with a smile on their face. Well done to all involved.

We hadn't been to Wylam before and stumbled upon The Ship by accident. So glad we did - real secret gem. Dog friendly, food amazing and Kay and the staff very friendly. Our turkey pie was full of turkey and I have no idea how they cooked the chunky chios- but want the recipe. Even the root vegetables were melt in the mouth gorgeous. We even got a small doggie treat free of charge. Definitely recommend

Your restaurant lost £100’s worth of business this afternoon - so laugh at the following message by all means but your manager should be aware of how his/her staff operate at least on a Saturday afternoon. We were due to have the fixed price Christmas menu(£35 each plus drinks). When we ordered drinks they took a long time to arrive - surprising when only two other tables were dining - it was apparent at that juncture there was a lax attitude about the staff. We ordered our food and waited for our starters to arrive whilst we could hear a mixture of loud, raucous shouting/laughing coming from the kitchen of which an unacceptable level of repugnant language was heard. When the waitress came to collect our starters, she asked if we would like to order dessert, presumably the staff had had no briefing about which courses were starters and mains. I requested that she would inform the kitchen staff that the repugnant language and noise filtering through to the dining room area be resolved. It wasn’t - it stayed the same. At this point an individual with a grey hooded sweater came out of the kitchen and was leaning over the bar and larking on with your staff. We waited a significant amount of time to receive our main courses before deciding the level of service was not up to standard to stay any longer - no mains received. We offered to pay for our drinks but your presumable lead supervisor on shift simply replied ‘Divent worry about it.’ I suggest you have a word with your staff and improve your standards with a professional manager on shift if you want to avoid losing more money and have people told to avoid your restaurant!

Called in on new years day, had a 'hot shot' parmo, food was excellent, staff were friendly and helpful, would recommend

Recently taken over after 25yrs, really disappointing, mediocre food and service. This place used to be rammed for lunch yet today was only missing the tumbleweed, waitress miserable, food v average, lukewarm and worst gravy ever, all veg on the plate, never asked once was the food ok, never came and asked us if we wanted more drinks or dessert. I’ve worked in catering and know how hard a good lunch service can be but with only two in the whole place they couldn’t have cared less….bring back hot plates, steaming bowls of veg and good beef gravy 😢

Shocking food, dry, overcooked hard burger overdone chips dry bun Friends Breakfast mushrooms black couldn’t cut through bacon
