I cannot believe the most recent reviewās that give this place a bad name. Bar staff would never spit in someoneās face or bar someone for not being British. BNP attitude?? Get lost,man,youāve probably not even been in there before.
This is a fantastic pub/restaurant with a wonderful reputation. I highly recommend it for the wonderful staff,management,choice of beerās,priceās and most of allā¦.. the food. We were in tonight and the food just melted in my mouth. Everything is obviously made from scratch with fresh ingredientās. Iām a Michelin star chef so I know when food is good. Who else offerās freshly made Confit Duck,Bacon Chop,Smoked Haddock Chowder,Sea Bream,Sausage and Caramelised Onion with mash etc anywhere else in North Tyneside?? The most youād get in any other pub in the area is a rustlerās burger with a pickle in!!
Book in advance as it getās busy on the weekendās for food. And donāt even get me started on how delicious the Sunday roastās are.
Donāt go anywhere else.

Not uncommon - In the past all I have been able to eat were chips.
We gave it one last try this evening and it was quite possibly the most disgusting meal Iāve eaten in a long time.
The ātrimmingsā consisted of almost raw carrots and sprouts.
The roast potatoes looked and tasted like 2-3 day old ones that had been reheated.
I complained to the waiter part way through the meal (he was apologetic) and again when I returned most of the meal uneaten (again he was apologetic and said he would pass my comments onto the chef).
Ā£15.95
I will not be returning.
Edit: Pub now been taken over and WOW what an improvement since our last visit 3 years ago when I gave a 1āļø review. Definitely 5 stars now. Food...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreJust spent a frustrating and disappointing 45 mins in this so called classy local bar/resturant. Prebooked a sunday dinner for myself and my wife and when we arrived it was just a joke. A long queue at the bar for a drink and gave up waiting as the bar staff served anyone who came to the bar rather than the long queue of people waiting. Went to the restuarant part for our meal, no tables ready as they were full of dirty dishes. Eventually taken to a table which he cleaned for us and said he would return to take our order for food and drinks. Nobody came for 20 mins and after another customer complained she had been waiting ages for her order and they had served someone who came in after her we gave up and left. Unless they sort things out they will lose alll...
