"Our first visit, but not our last: reviews have mentioned small portions but as a trencherman, I was surprised by a good portion of squid (starter) with an excellent seafood tagliatelle as my main."

"Join the Natural History Society of Northumbria and visit the nature reserve."

"Fantastic Italian menu alongside other dishes on their special board. Best ever Lasagne, Pizza Calzone and Calamari amongst others."

"What's all this nationally about not being able to get appointments? Never any bother here if you ring just after 8.00"

"Quiet local (at 4.30 pm) with friendly staff and excellent real ale. Limited food menu available."

"Excellent venue for a family party (ma's 80th) - great buffet choice (hot and cold) Have also had Christmas parties here with disco etc."
