Wheatsheaf Inn — Restaurant in North Tyneside

Absolutely horrendous experience this evening. Visitors to the area and decided to spend the evening in the beer garden. Walked in and joined the orderly queue at the bar. Several people got served in front of us, but when it got to my turn at the front of the queue several locals had come in, stood themselves at the bar, and the barmaid totally ignored me and walked off to serve the locals that she obviously knew well. The bar was empty when we joined the queue and we waited nearly 15 mins as it was, but to then be completely ghosted in favour of the locals was terrible. We walked straight out after making our feeling known to the said barmaid. It wasn’t as if everyone was stood haphazard at a busy bar. The queue was formed at the fill and she was well aware of the order of serving. It was a totally deliberate act to ignore me in favour of the regulars who had entered the bar area well after us. Made us feel very uncomfortable. Terrible way to...

On a trip to my place of birth we were looking for somewhere to have a Sunday lunch . The Wheatsheaf was recommended , it must be 30 years since the last time I was in the pub . Sunday is booking only and after our roast I can understand why , the chicken and pork were both excellent . Roast potatoes and mash , homemade sage and onion stuffing , huge Yorkshire pudding , 4 veg cooked just right and plenty of gravy . We finished with blackberry and apple crumble and custard , delicious. I noticed homemade rabbit and blackpudding pie on the menu , so we made a return visit in the week. I was not disappointed , the pie came with new potatoes I asked our lovely waitress if it was possible to have mash . The chef was very obliging (thank you) , we returned the next Sunday for another of this chefs lovely roasts. I'm home now and won't be back in the North East until early next year when I will pay another visit to The...

This pub had a very varied menu and it was hard to pick one. In the end I plumped for the steak and kidney pie which came with chips or potatoes, and veg. As the ultra friendly barmaid told us the chips were home made we went for them. They were delicious, crispy but soft and buttery inside. The pie was the best I have ever had. It was stuffed with meat and the pastry was lovely. It was a very big portion. We couldn't manage desserts but had coffee with cream which was also delicious and came with a chocolate mint. But the best thing about our meal was the barmaid, who was so friendly and funny, but also informative about the menu. I think it will be our new favourite place, and we have a great menu selection to...
