The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Exceptional food, at a good price and very good service. Will definitely be back with family and friends. Recommend the home made pies.

My recent visit to left much to be desired. While the oat flat white was good, the sandwich mix-up was a letdown. I received a cheaper sandwich instead of the one I ordered and paid for, and the staff's lack of friendliness added to the disappointment. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I couldn't address the issue immediately. Hopefully, improvements in service and accuracy can enhance the overall customer experience at the shop.

Played today, Mon 26th August, Great layout, but sadly the greens are diseased and awful, and the tee boxes are terrible, very expensive bar, and no food being served, even though there was a competition on, and the bar was busy, Sadly one to miss in the future.

What a lovely meal we had! Pleasant service. Delicious food. Great surroundings! Nothing not to like. The roast loin of cod and steak with all the trimmings were excellent. Will definitely go back!

The place itself seems nice enough - a good aesthetic that screams rock n'roll. However, the online presence really lets the place down. "Book a Table" says the website. I booked a table. Only to receive an email saying I didn't need to. When we arrived, two tables were marked "Reserved". Based on information found on the various online sources we could find, my other half (looking to celebrate her birthday), chose SF having seen "a selection of grilled cheese sandwiches", and offers on a "range of cocktails". The evening got off to a poor start when we got to the bar, and the only two non-lager/cider options on the draught drinks were both out of stock. Undeterred, we asked for one of the "range of cocktails", only to be told they were not doing cocktails. Undeterred, we finally found (barely) suitable beverages and found a table. We waited for the menu, and were disappointed to find it was much smaller than the online presence had led us to believe. Calling over one of the staff, we were told "We don't do those anymore". When we pointed out that this really should be updated online, we got "Yeah, its all changing". At which point we left to go home. Where we could enjoy drinks we wanted, and the full array of delights available from local takeaways. One word of advice - if you promise burger and chips, and deliver burger and chips, I'm happy. But if I visit on the basis of online information, and you don't have what you've marketed, I'm going to be elsewhere.

Had a great afternoon here with my wife. Great prices and the bar staff are tremendous. A big shout out for Claire the barmaid who couldn't have made us more welcome and went above and beyond to make our afternoon even better. This lovely lady saved us a great deal and welcomed us to a saving app. It's great. (Money off booze. Say no more). Thank you Claire. We definitely recommend this pub. It's stood the test of time and will definitely be here for a lot more years to come. Proper pub. Proper people and Proper bar staff. Thank you. See you soon 🍻🍻🍻

Next to our hotel dead as a dodo did not have my best tiple brandy good views but a waste of a large building.

Very overpriced for what it is. Stopped off here today for a quick bite and a coffee. Ordered a Cheese & Onion toastie at £8.25 and a coffee at £3.25. The toastie was a very light in the filling department given the price and it came with a tiny ramekin of crisps and a dollop of coleslaw. No cutlery was given or offered. The coffee was plain filtered from one of those glass jugs where it sits and stews for ages. The staff are pleasant which is why I’m not giving this one star. The rest of their food might be brilliant which I would hope given the high number of excellent scores on here but for what I received and was charged £11.50 for the privilege it was vastly overcharged. Won’t be stopping here again which is a shame as it’s in a decent spot for stopping off between Newcastle and Edinburgh.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal in lovely surroundings. The staff were great and food was really tasty. Desserts were also fab with a good selection on offer.

Lovely tasty quality food. Not your usual pub grub at all. Good service and atmosphere. We will visit again very shortly.

I ordered the beef chilli nachos for around £5 - it was served in a little box which was filled with nachos smothered in lovely salsa, chilli and guacamole. It was lovely, too much for me to finish off...so i took the rest home for later. and the moretti is only £3.50 so what's not to like

Nice pub, cosy atmosphere makes you feel welcome, staff are very friendly and helpful. Alot to choose from on the menu, food looks amazing or just a few drinks whatever you prefer.

We were staying at the very nearby Old Hartley campsite and decided to book Sunday lunch for ourselves and 2 friends. Two of us had the pork, one had beef and the other chicken. All stunning. The meat was excellent quality and well cooked. The Yorkshire Pudding tasty, lovely selection of veg and gravy. Probably one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in a while. Excellent service and food was beautifully presented. 2 had the chocolate caramel brownie for dessert which again was excellent. All in all a lovely Sunday lunch. Thank you.
