The staff were really on it, clearing plates promptly. I asked for a wine suggestion to go with the lamb, and their pick was spot on. Made the whole meal come together nicely.

Friendly staff and decent food selection. Portions are generous for the price.

Popped in on a whim. The spicy lamb skewers were spot-on, really well seasoned. The vibe was buzzing, maybe a bit too loud for a proper chat, but that&#39;s fine. Solid spot for a casual bite.

Spaghetti bolognese was spot on, really good. Huge portion too, couldn&#39;t finish it all. Dars was a legend, sorted us out quickly. Just what we needed after a long walk.

The chicken livers starter is the thing here. Properly cooked, still pink inside, with that peri-peri sauce. It&#39;s got a real kick, not just heat but flavour. Comes with a decent chunk of bread to mop it all up. Always order it.

Been coming here for years. Food&rsquo;s always solid, never had a bad meal. Prices are fair. That&rsquo;s it really.

The staff were really welcoming to my grandchildren, even though we just had drinks. The mocktails were pretty good and decently priced.

Bottomless brunch was spot on. Drinks kept coming, and the parmo was a solid choice. Quick service too.

The food is consistently delicious and beautifully presented. Dishes such as the fish and chips, mushroom risotto, and sticky toffee pudding are particular highlights, showcasing the chef&#39;s skill and attention to detail.

The cinnamon rolls were gone by 11:30. A real shame, as the smell of them baking was the whole reason I walked in. Next time, I&#39;m setting an alarm.

Crab sandwich was fine, nothing special. But the chocolate cake? Scrumptious. That&#39;s the move here, stick to the pastries.

Service was spot on. Attentive but never pushy, even mentioned a kids-eat-free deal. The acoustics were a real plus, could actually hear my friend talk. My only note is the wine list felt a bit limited for the price point.

Pippa was a gem on a packed Friday night. My lamb was a bit under-seasoned, but her wine suggestion was spot on and really saved the dish. She kept things moving without ever making us feel rushed.

The space is really nice, bright and airy. I had the eggs with ranchero sauce and the salt baked chicken, both were lovely. The smoked salmon and feta croissant looked good too. Just a really pleasant spot for a relaxed lunch.

The cheese and meat board was a real highlight. Generous portions of manchego and chorizo, all perfectly paired with their crisp house white. Service was friendly and unhurried. A solid choice for a relaxed evening.

Graduation dinner was lovely. The staff were so attentive, especially with my dietary questions. The seafood platter was fantastic, really fresh. It&#39;s a cosy space, so it did get a bit noisy when full, but that&#39;s my only note.

The full English was a proper plateful, really well put together too. You definitely get what you pay for here, the portions are huge. Left feeling very full, no need for lunch after that!

Spring onion pancakes were the star for me - crispy edges, fluffy inside. Dumplings were decent, but the pancakes really hit the spot. Service was friendly and quick. Solid lunch spot.

The tasting menu was absolutely superb, with each course exquisitely presented and simply bursting with flavour.

Came for the bacon sandwich everyone talks about. It&#39;s a generous portion, really good quality bacon. Could easily share one between two if you&#39;re not starving. The atmosphere is lovely, and they&#39;re very welcoming to dogs.

Great spot for a first full English! The staff were so welcoming, which made it a really nice place to catch up with a friend.

Been coming here for years. Staff are always friendly and quick, even when it&#39;s packed. You&#39;ll want to book ahead, especially on weekends. The food&#39;s reliable, which is what matters.

Booked ahead and glad we did &ndash; it was packed! The place is really clean and tidy, which made it easy to just relax and chat with my mates. Perfect for a casual catch-up.

Fish and chips done right. The batter&#39;s light and crispy, and the cod is always fresh. Chips are spot on, never soggy. A proper classic.

Our go-to spot for a lazy Sunday brunch. The lattes arrive steaming hot every time, which I really appreciate. Portions are generous, so you won&#39;t leave hungry. Staff are quick and friendly, makes for a relaxed morning.

The banana and peanut butter toast here is the best in town! The flat white is also very good, and the barista is incredibly nice.

The food is pretty good here, especially the pasta dishes. Prices felt fair for what you get, which is decent quality. Portions are fine, not huge but enough. A solid choice for a casual meal.

The service here is solid. Staff kept our drinks topped up without being overbearing. The waiter suggested the lamb dish, which was a good call. It&#39;s the kind of attentive but relaxed service that keeps me coming back.

One of the best halal dine in, if you are in Newcastle.with almost 70 plus items, value for money. The staff is very well mannered. The food quality is great.I will recommend it if you are around.

The staff were really helpful and knew their coffee. They explained the different beans and helped me pick one that works well with my home setup. A decent spot if you&#39;re looking for something specific.
