The best restaurants serving British food in North East

Went to the Poachers to see Copperhead Great band.

Do not go. My friend went to this pub on Tuesday and ordered the chicken fajitas and 24 hours later had the most horrible pain from sickness and diarrhoea. I visited with my friend on Wednesday and again both of us were ill all night with sickness and diarrhoea. We all ordered the chicken fajitas which I do not believe to be a coincidence. The food was nice however we waited an hour from ordering and have been violently ill since. I will not be returning to this restaurant and advise others to check their food before eating or avoid the place altogether.

Booked Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about this roast! One of the best Sunday roast I had, chicken was seasoned perfectly as well as the veg, cosy setting, friendly staff and excellent portion size. 10/10

My husband(!) and I had our wedding lunch here 31st October 2024. What a delightful time we had! As we were catering for 30 people, we used outside caterers (can recommend Community Catering) and The Hub made sure there was enough space for them to set out food lovely. The bar selection was great for our needs and they even ensured there was a small cocktail menu available at our request (pina coladas are delicious!). Jill and Heather took care of our every need when arranging the event (and during) and I think were even more excited than me! They made the space absolutely beautiful for us. Many of our guests had not been before and were very impressed and will certainly be back again soon as customers. The other staff in attendance on the day were great too, happy, friendly and polite. It is a fabulous little hidden gem of a location which is perfect for a walk (or cycle!) along the Quayside or the Ouseburn, with beautiful views along the river Tyne with backdrop of the bridges. Although we were unable to use their food at our event, we have eaten here before and it has always been delicious. It is worth noting too that they use as many local suppliers and small business as possible which in my view is really worth celebrating. Keep an eye on their drinks menu as it changes with the season which is a lovely little touch too. On a cold day, you can still sit outside to enjoy the view too as they even have some blankets that you can borrow to keep the chill off. Thanks again, from the new Mr and Mrs Burnett.

Love this cafe/ restaurant! My boyfriend and I had the best breakfast this morning of their Hangover Crumpet and Eggs Benedict. They were full when we arrived ( always a good sign) so they switched on the heaters and gave us blankets outside while we waited and then we got our table. Such good customer service, the staff are all so friendly. Definitely a new favourite breakfast stop in Jesmond and can’t wait to try a cake!

Friendly staff. Fantastic views if you’re lucky enough to get the window seats. Have eaten a few times here and always accommodating to add or change things to meals on menu. Had turkey sandwich with home made chips on last visit which was delicious. Dogs are allowed in an area of the pub with water bowls supplied.

My husband and I went for Sunday Lunch. We were greeted by friendly staff and escorted to our table in the warm and comfortable restaurant. There was a good selection or roasts on offer and a vegetarian option. We both chose a meat option which came with a very good range of vegetables. It was really delicious and I would highly recommend. I think we shall become regular visitors.

beautiful little tea room in the beautiful village of Broadway 🫖 fresh, homemade scones served warm with jam + clotted cream, homemade shortbread and bacon, brie and cranberry sauce sandwiches all served with loose-leaf tea ☕️ and a latte. dog friendly 🐶 (includes doggy biscuits). friendly, attentive staff as well - thanks girls ☺️ would 💯 recommend.

Nice meal. Big plate full, great service. Will definitely visit again.

Must day this pub surprised me, the food was unreal & the beer selection extensive it had a great selection of ales available. Very homely atmosphere & nothing was too much trouble for the girls working. Just moved to the area and what a great find on our doorstep will be regulars we think.

Standard happy hour fare. The specials look really nice too.

If you like pie this is the place to come - they are home made and just lovely - served with home made chips too. There is a huge menu of other things to eat too. Nice ale and fantastic view - all in all a decent northumbrian pub - will definitely be back
