This pub has a split personality. It's trying to be a Tynemouth pub in North Shields; the muted paint job, shabby chic stylings and mismatched chairs and wallpaper all point towards NE30. But it doesn't work. The food is inconsistent roasts great one week, shoe leather the next. They have a good range of beers...but they're usually off or poorly kept. I could do without the music, but people must like it. The staff aren't unfriendly as such, but they could be friendlier. Stop looking at the clock when people order food. Smile a bit more. I get the feeling the whole place could do with an hour or so with someone who knows how to do this sort of thing properly North Shields isn't short of frie...
This pub has great decor, good selection of beers, is nicely lit, clean and the staff are friendly. But the atmosphere is ruined because of the awful radio 1 style music that they play (sometimes quite loudly so you can't have a conversation). It just doesn't seem appropriate for a cosy pub to have pop music like this blasting out. I've even seen them put commercial radio station on so you get adverts blasting out in between the awful music. It's a real shame as it could be a great pub but myself and a number of other people I know are put off because of the music situation.
The place on the whole isn't bad at all. It has obviously diversified from a normal local pub on a corner to trying to break into being a gastro pub.The food is imaginative if not a little different to what you expect. By that I mean that it doesn't serve what I would class as authentic spanish food, more of an interpretation of it!All considered it is definitely worth a visit and hopefully it will be when it's a little quieter. I've been several times and seen it quiet and peaceful as well as loud and busy. Many people use this as a stop by on their way into town.
The restaurant has recently changed management. The staff is very friendly and provides excellent service. I plan to visit again in the future and would recommend this place to others. It is a great place to enjoy a quiet drink or celebrate a special occasion. I have not tried the food yet, but I have heard positive reviews.

I used to enjoy this pub. It was nice for about a year and a half, until last week when Nicholas grabbed me and Michael, the owner, shut the garden door so no one could see. A few days later, I was barred from the pub. It's a nice pub, not too exclusive for my taste.
The food at this restaurant offers great value for money with a wide variety to choose from. Unlike some nearby pubs, the atmosphere is relaxing and the locals are friendly. The pleasant experience is enhanced by the nice staff.
Good pub with really friendly staff , the prices are reasonable ant the decor is rather rustic but good , although we haven't dined there the food looks good at a reasonable price
Fantastic quality burgers with home made fries and home made relish. The beer is good as well so get yourself there and sat on their comfy quirky chairs and enjoy!
