“ Called on spec. on way up to Newcastle, we're really glad we did. We ordered off the "small meals" menu. The meals are substantial, even the small ones. The pan fried liver is cooked to your liking, unusual and very welcome. The slow pork and black pudding was amazing; really good local black pudding. The gravies on both meal were excellent too. ”
“ This place is a hidden gem, everywhere stopped serving food early on Sunday and we was running out of hope... but then... we found this place... Glowing in the sunset! The only one still going and busy! Venue was nice and staff were so kind! Very helpful on the food selections. Portion sizes is AMAZING for value. We would 1000% recommend coming here if you’re near by! Proper homemade food, absolutely belting! ”

“ Superb meal at lunchtime - we had the lamb shank and the braised beef. Both were really delicious and melted in the mouth . Big portions for a great price and service excellent - a lucky find that we've saved in our favourites for another visit very soo . ”
“ We went as a 3 generation family party for a birthday. The service is excellent - really quick, cheerful and 100% efficient. An example is the care given to ordering for a gluten free (Coeliac) grandson - details were written onto the kitchen order, double underlined and very clear. The food was excellent. Piping hot, well cooked and obviously using high quality ingredients. If you like a good meal and lovely service, this is one for you! ”
“ Excellent place for Sunday dinner, parking can be a problem when busy. My photo is the superb Beef & Pork belly buster ”
“ A family regular for big birthdays, great food, staff always friendly and long term owners, clean and tidy. Last visit of 10 people, ordered up front at the request of the owner to make sure the food was available and food was all ready on arrival at the same time. ”
“ We were away for the weekend and had a lovely meal here , so much so we came back the next night . Food is absolutely delicious home cooked and large portions too , staff were all very friendly and helpful , very clean , great atmosphere and not too expensive. We will be returning in August when we stay that way again , just wish you were closer to our home so we could come more often , although it probably won't be good for my waistline ”
