Great food. Not a large menu but plenty of choice. Fish and chips excellent. Highly recommended We have only had drinks here. Fabulous friendly staff. Lovely bar area and outside area, mostly dog friendly. We will be back for dinner, the menu looked good. and fantastic, atmosphere but the food was nothing out of the ordinary. Beef arrived warm not hot, lacked gravy. Mackerel starter was nice. To be fair it was Christmas fayre and they were quite busy so it maybe better through the year. All in all was a nice evening. I had a great evening at the Delaval Arms with two friends last night. The atmosphere was really welcoming with a vibe throughout the pub. The food was delicious! I had the stuffed mushrooms for a starter which was amazing, followed by the beef burger washed down with a refreshing pint of Cruzcampo. For dessert, I couldn't resist trying the Sticky Toffee Pud, and it didn't disappoint! We all had a great time catching up. All the was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be returning soon! Had Sunday as part of a group booking in the upstairs room. What a beautiful room with great views to Whitley bay despite the sea fret. We were a large group but our server coped brilliantly and it wasn’t too long a wait for the food. I ordered the small beef which was almost perfect. The let down was that the beef wasn’t the expected pink as the menu suggested. It was tasty and we had plenty of veg to choose from. I do wonder if the veg portions would be the same had I been eating in a couple something I’m planning on going back to test. Some of the group got deserts which looked amazing with the cheese cake being called delicious. One other downside were the upstairs toilets which looked like they could have done with a clean. Overall a value in beautiful surroundings and I would recommend. Bloody lovely, had a Sunday here. The food arrived quickly and the portion size is very good, I struggled to finish because of the size. Tasted incredible, I believe they mix mint sauce into the gravy which makes a lovely flavour. Would recommend Booked for Sunday lunch while in the area as I'd heard the pub had a long standing reputation for great food. Was impressed by the decor, very cool take on a traditional pub. Service was first class , looked after us very well, the selection of beer was also first class. The big let down was the roast I'm afraid , specifically the beef which was tough and full of sinew, we struggled to cut it and my parter left most of hers .Im not a butcher but looked like some brisket which needed slow cooking for 4 hours not a joint to be served pink.The chef should never have sent it out and considering the rest of the meal was superb I'm surprised, possibly the ran short at as we were there later in the day. Shame as we really liked the place but left feeling disappointed. Great and delicious food. GF available on most dishes. I have know about this pub for years but never visited until it was recommended by a friend for an evening meal. We returned a week later with another friend. Lovely local What a fantastic place to chill on a Sunday afternoon! My partner and I under advice from the bar ordered a local beer that was out of this world! Friendly and the customers were all lovely too! Thank you for a great time! Great atmosphere, fabulous food, and service. Food is top-notch. We only went for a few drinks and nibbles. Had a starter then ended up ordering the main course and deffo worth it. Highly recommend. 19/06. Yet again 5-star with all the staff. This is the fourth time we've been now and ordering different food from the menu every time we go it's with a 10/10. I can not recommend this place enough. If you haven't been yet.? I highly recommend one. Yet again amazing food and 10/07/21. Steak was unreal and well worth every penny, Service and management more then you can ask for. Massive thank you to Michael, Simon and Ed. And all the . 5star We've visited & eaten here twice now, while out for a walk along the coast. There has been a lot of money spent on decor, and it has the potential to be a real gold mine given the location, but sadly for us, despite the food being good, we probably won't return. The whole pub is dirty - as an ex pub manager, I always look at details, and things like the cleanliness of the loos make me question kitchen hygiene. Everywhere needs a thorough deep clean to bring it up to a standard. If you're not bothered by dust & dirt, & only looking for grub & drink, then it's fine, but not for me. Sunday lunch was absolutely gorgeous, everything was well seasoned, VERY tasty and portions were perfect. Only fault would be that the meat could have been a bit hotter but beef melted in the mouth and couldn’t fault flavour. Definitely will be back! Amazing food definitely worth a visit, also dog friendly Such a really nice place to celebrate with a really lovely view and chilled out surroundings. we thought the were so friendly and helpful. The food was really nice and we had everything we needed to enjoy this special day so thank you to you all.
