The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Had a great lunch in the Magpie club today. It was lunch with Santa. We had really good food and I loved the pink roast beef. The Santa experience was nice too. The service was also lovely it felt like lots of the servers were new to it. So I mention these things as a little more polish would help. Four examples; table was set for bread but no bread was served and we had to ask for ours after the starters were delivered. Other tables were then sorted as a consequence. Second, we ordered tap water for the table with our drinks order and had to ask again at main course (the server was most apologetic). Third the menu said garlic bread with cheese as a kids starter and we got garlic bread. I pointed it out and all garlic breads after that were then cheesy. We ordered a cheese course and it came without biscuits a knife or butter. These things didn’t spoil our experience in the slightest but if they were sorted then it would have been a much smoother experience. We will definitely be back as the food, ambience, service and experience were all good.

Well we have been here loads of times and has always been good. Went today Fri 29th March 2024, Ok it’s Good Friday but you would think they would be prepared. After a bit of a wait watching people get served that came in after us, a waitress came over and took our order but there was only small fish and no large, well call me a conspiracy theorist but the small fish was half a large fish so where were they getting the small fish from 🤔. It was plain to see that it was all to do with money as the small fish was £7 something and the large was £12 odd… so along came our meals and it was ridiculous a bit of fish 4” x 6” and about 15 chips if that. Well I’m sorry but we won’t be back ever for the sake of making an extra few quid you’ve lost two regulars… plus gave the girl a £5 tip before we got the food and she didn’t even say thanks! Shame on you

Garlic bread with cheese pizza Cod n chips Meat patties are unreal 5 out of 5 worth a try peeps rag is always good to have a laugh with

I have visited Darcies a number of times now with my Nanna who might I add swears by this place. They always treat her and her friend like royalty and always go the extra mile to make sure they are both happy! All of the food there is home cooked to perfection and tastes amazing. I’ve had the Yorkshire pudding wrap multiple times and it never disappoints potions are huge and good value for money. Lisa and the rest of the staff are lovely! There’s no doubt that she knows exactly what she is doing. I will happily be returning to Darcies and can’t wait to try the chicken nuggets my nanna raves about!

I got a recommendation from a friend to try this small cafe / tea room and I was not disappointed. Its a cosy little place set on the Wansbeck riverside just outside Ashington and it serves a good selection of reasonably priced snack food and delicious cakes. Access is via a ramp at one end and stairs at the other, there is both indoor and outdoor seating, toilets (including disabled) are clean and dogs are welcome. Just outside the cafe is ample parking with a picnic tables, a nice childrens playpark and for the more energetic a lovely riveride walk. Food was very good quality, very tasty and good portions (especially the cake!!) A great base for an afternoon out with the kids, give it a try.

called in for lunch while staying at the hotel food was very good and nice surrounding they were due to close but kept the restaurant open so we could have lunch thank you

Hay tantas opciones disponibles para elegir, ya sea que desee un desayuno, sándwiches, una merienda rápida, tostadas o una buena comida casera caliente, ¡Jeanette's Baguettes lo tiene todo! Toda la comida está recién hecha y sirven ofertas especiales regulares (su lasaña es la deliciosa). El café en sí es muy limpio y cómodo para que te sientes mientras disfrutas de tu comida y bebida. El personal es muy educado y acogedor. Los precios también son muy razonables. ¡No hay nada que no te guste de este lugar! Recomiendo totalmente una visita aquí: -)

The Old Post Office is a very lively pub that offer a well priced range of beers and was one of several pub's we visited in the Byker district of Newcastle. A proper local boozer that was really busy when we visited early in the afternoon and packed to the rafter's with many watching the horse racing and having a few pint's in this superb local boozer. The Old Post Office is unmissable as it has a Red Post Box as a pub sign and this pub has a red painted exterior.The inside has a traditional pub interior and superb seating options and we had no trouble looking for a seat. When here we had a Strongebow brewery cider which were very refreshing on a very warm day and well priced. The Old Post Office won't be to everyone's taste but I like pubs like this as they are full of local characters and local pubs like this are slowly disappearing across the Uk and whenever we get a chance we alway's visit these pubs as they bring me back to when I first started drinking in pubs. The Old Post Office is really easy to locate from Shields Road-Edwin Street bus stop it is a short walk.(This is my first review of the Old Post Office). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-10.00-23.00. Friday-Sunday-10.00-00.00. Nearest Bus Stop. Shields Road-Edwin Street bus stop.

We love Hotel Chocolat and we’re excited that there was an outlet that served drinks and Ice Creams. We were not disappointed, from the service to the drinks and ice creams it was very very delicious. I had the billionaire sundae which was to die for.

Popped in a here a couple of times after parkrun with eldest son staff always nice and friendly as he loves the sausage rolls. Great bread and cakes as well I love the rock buns.

The William IV on High street is a local pub in Gateshead that offer a decent range of beers and was one of several pubs that we visited on a day out around Gateshead. A solid old style boozer that is housed in a traditional pub style building'the interior is again a traditional pub interior with lots of good seating options and an outside area at the back with extra seating options. I don't know why but I adore going to pubs like this as it brings me back to when I first started drinking many years ago and most of the pubs I visited where like this. This pub was very busy when we visited as where most pubs we went to in Gateshead and when here we had a couple of bitters from the John Smith's brewery which were well served and priced. This is another superb local boozer and is well worth visiting as the staff were friendly and they offer a well priced range of beers and is very easy to locate from High Street bus stop it's a minute's walk.(This is my first review of the William IV). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-10.00-23.30. Friday-Saturday-10.00-00.30. Sunday-10.00-23.30. Nearest Bus Stop. High Street bus stop.

Ye Olde Fleece is a fantastic local pub that offers a decent range of beers and can be found on High street in Gateshead. Ye Olde Fleece was one of several pub's in Gateshead that we visited and had a beer on tap which we haven't had in a long time which was McEwan's beer. Ye Olde Fleece itself is a joy to go to as the pub has a good atmosphere with nice staff and friendly locals and well priced beers. With a traditional pub interior and brilliant seating options throughout the whole pub interior and its a joy to visit especially of a Monday as it was very lively. When we visited we had a pint of McEwans dark beer which I haven't had in year's but it was fantastic and well priced at £2.50 for a pint. This is a superb pub and well worth visiting and very easy to find from High Street bus stop it's a short walk.(This is my first review of Ye Olde Fleece). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-11.00-23.00. Friday-Saturday-11.00-00.00 Sunday-11.00-23.00. Nearest Bus Stop. High Street bus stop.

Great bar for lovely cocktails and if the suns shining and you hit happy hour you're in for a great time. The staff are always nice here and in the pub upstairs (maltings) and they make a fantastic raspberry mojito and salted caramel expresso martini. Been here with partner and family and everyone enjoys it. Top bar.
