Food freshly cooked. Waited no longer than 10 minutes for food to arrive. Good service at till. Very quiet could have done with a little music. Portion of chips with burger not up to standard elsewhere but burger very tasty.
Recent visit to Gateshead for 3 days, so eat here each day. The food was hot and with a pint and usually less than £30 for two, can't complain for the price. Staff friendly and easy to speak to.
I hadn't been for a while so thought I would go here for tea with my daughter. I got her the chicken nuggets & chips. How hard & cold the nuggets were I think they were cooked a few days beforehand & left on the side. I got the burger & chips with American cheese & maple cured bacon. The burger, cheese & bacon was cold. They slapped two freezing cold unmelted cheese slices on top of each other onto my burger. I think the bacon was cooked about a week ago as it was so hard & unedable. Also I think we got about 10 chips between the two of us. I wish I got pictures. Won't be coming back. The food is absolutely rotten.
Always pretty busy, food prices have went up which is expected but no longer worth what you actually get. Food comes out quick and is hot, probably due to a microwave. The beer was nice and cold and a bit cheaper than local pubs, wouldn’t be my first choice but would probs come back for a quick lunch.
Food is pitiful for the money. Decided to go here for a burger; thinking it would be better than a McDonalds meal......how wrong we were. For the money we paid we could have gotten a much better tasting burger, with a McFlurry, for the same price! This burger was meant to be the 'American Style Cheese Burger'....served with small 'chips/fries'.....this companies food has gone so downhill over the years its unbelievable. Don't waste your money here on this type of food, just go to McDonald's instead, at least you know what you get for your money!
