The Beaconsfield - Gateshead

Myself and five friends went out for a Christmas meal. The food was fantastic, with only one person in our group having a starter of prawn cocktail. For mains, four of us had turkey with all the trimmings and two had steak. The food was very tasty, hot, and well presented. The desserts, including cheesecake, apple and blackberry crumble, and Christmas pudding with custard, were amazing. Collette Aspinall provided lovely service and couldn't do enough for us. Despite the busy bar, the staff remained attentive and our service was not affected.

Went in on Saturday night for the rugby with my pals and the atmosphere was brilliant definitely helped by the team Tony, Harry and Aidan who were behind the bar ! beer was spot on and our burgers were both beautiful cheers !

Excellent value for money. The food was delicious, staff very friendly and attentive. Love this pub.

I have been frequenting this pub for the past year and the progress it has made is remarkable. The friendly Collete has always greeted me and my friends warmly since our first visit. There is plenty to enjoy at this pub throughout the week, from a well-run pub quiz on Thursdays hosted by Owen and Aidan to the regular showing of football matches. Since coming here, the pub has changed management and I must commend Ant for the improvements he has made. The food is consistently excellent (especially the chicken mix) and the outstanding customer service is top-notch. Harry at the bar will make an effort to get to know you and remember your preferences, making him a valuable member of the team.

Absolutely love this pub. Staff are so friendly and atmosphere has been great for Christmas and the football! Food has dramatically improved. Collette did a great job with breakfast with Santa and Ant has made the pub one of the best on the fell again. Shout out to Shannon, Faye and Martin too always happy to help.
