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 to Yolo for breakfast this christmas eve first time eating at the venue. Had high hopes as staff friendly and interior very inviting but wow was the cooked breakfast a let down had the full english and where do i start. Toast burnt Eggs with no runny middle Bacon looked uncooked Sausage looked and tasted like cheapest frozen sausage they could find Smallest portion of beans ive ever recieved on a breakfast And black pudding on par with sausage cheap skinny slice no taste. And had the pleasure of paying a small fortune for what was probably the worst cooked breakfast ive recieved anywhere. Will be my first and last visit for food at Yolo unless they make huge improvements.

Well ! What can I say ! Never disappointed about the blackbird. Went for a family Sunday lunch and it was excellent as always! Great fair price for the quality of food served, staff amazing, presentation perfect and fast service n food . Would recommend to anyone to give it a try. 😊
