The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Ponteland East Northumberland North East

I visited here for a cooked breakfast a few months ago but have also sampled their great lunches over time and gave it the best rating possible and proclaimed to all those who would listen, that this is the best in the area. Unfortunately my recent visit didn’t live up to my own expectations. Ordering exactly the same full English cooked breakfast, I was served by the wonderful staff here and picked a table. I was the only one in a waited for the quality to be put in front of me. Unfortunately the presentation let it down straight away. I wondered what had been put on the plate and found it to be a large upside down mushroom. I’m not that picky but every one I’ve ever had was the right way up? …ok that might sound picky! The yolk had been broken while cooking so I got a yellow looking flat egg. One of the sausages was burnt which was left on the plate and the other tasted a bit strange, so was left too. The black pudding was also a little dry. Strange that I was first in on opening and yet these ingredients didn’t seem fresh or the quality I experienced previously. The bacon was superb though! Now here’s the strange thing about this place. I’m used to salt and pepper on the table or at least some of those little sachets to hand. When I got the breakfast I was asked if I wanted sauce. I got it and the guy walked away. Went to look for the salt and pepper. No salt and pepper. I asked at the counter and the staff member turned to the same guy in the kitchen if he had the salt and pepper and he said “I’ve already asked him” before turning to see me standing there. Now this isn’t new. Myself and the family have joked on other visits that the condiments must be on rationing. Overall, disappointed on this occasion, but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back for their lunches etc. the girl on the counter is superb and I’ve always found the ambience of the place good.

Stayed here for business on more than one occasion and the staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent. The rooms are so spacious and the beds are so comfy clean and the staff really can’t do enough for you would recommend this very welcoming friendly place.I do travel a lot for business and stayed in a lot of different places and this is one of my favourites.

Called in for a late lunch after a morning fishing. The fish and chips were excellent. The landlord is obviously passionate about the food. Call if you can you will not be disappointed.

Went for mid morning breakfast, not busy waited 50 minutes for half warm food. When I asked for staff, where is the food it came out immediately. It had obviously been standing for some considerable time. Due to pathetic service, I overrun my parking place by five minutes and received a £42 fine. I will not be visiting YOLO again on account of poor service and poor food.

Took my 90 year old dad out for lunch today. It was great as carpark outside so he didn’t have to walk far. They make sure they take your car reg so you don’t get fined. The service was excellent, straight over with menus and took drink orders- staff were lovely. Food was amazing, dad had regular fish and chips which he loved, I had crispy beef salad- starter portion with chips- loved it. Price was reasonable- my only complaint would be that desserts were pricey- £10- so we didn’t bother but…. The meal was great and venue had atmosphere, I would def go back
