Called in for lunch, midweek. Great value on the lunch menu. One course for £9. 2 for 12 and 3 for 15. I ordered the potato skins for starters and mince and dumplings for main course. Both were delicious. My daughter ordered mince and dumplings and apple crumble for dessert. The beer was lovely and there was a huge range to choose from. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back soon.

I've walked into this building more than cpl thousand times but this was the first time since the schooner became the fog on the Tyne, it was literally like walking into a different building, it was sad but in good way and it looks like it's finally had that much needed face lift.
Great welcoming from the staff and place was clean, tidy and well presented with a great new layout, we ordered from the lunch time menu and took advantage of the all burgers £9 in January offer, I had the BBQ brisket burger which was delicious and packed a punch from the jalapenos, my wife had the scampi and they said it was the small portion but I don't think she could have ate another bite
I didn't know what to expect and I was hesitant to go down and see the changes but I'm glad I did and I'll definitely be back if they keep making food that good
Get down and try it for yourself

A place that has recently had a full face lift, bar lift, everything. Slightly hidden away but well worth finding. Good selection of beers, lagers, ciders. Staff are brilliant, including the chef, we can vouch for the burgers, beef and chicken. Not a huge place but ample room on an afternoon. Street parking at the front, children tolerated.

Waited a hour,Sunday lunches came and were cold,yorkshire puddings were like rubber,roast potatoes had never even seen a oven and the veg all dried out. We had them take them all away and we got refunded.

What a find this delightful venue right on the banks of the Tyne, that I never new existed. Great venue for live music as well as a most friendly atmosphere and clientele. Went to see GYROSCOPE who were tremendous as usual. I would definitely visit again and would highly recommend this pub.
