The Fell Chippy in Gateshead

Well popped in with my friend today for a quick drink and a bite to eat I had the poached egg avocado and toast and it was absolutely perfect eggs lovey warm runny yolks whites cooked spot on avocado vibrant and fresh as could be and the toast wasnt just any old slice of white bread it was unreal have to say thank you to both of the Donna's who served us lovely friendly welcoming girls nothing but smiles all the time we were there fantastic meal fantastic staff and compliments to the chef simple DIFINE.

I have visited many Wetherspoons restaurants and was very disappointed with the quality of food I received at this one. I ordered the Ultimate Burger. The 2 thin patties were blacked on both sides and very hard. You usually get this if you put a frozen burger on the grill. Also, they refused to take any Scottish £50 and £20 bank notes. Their Head Office advised not to accept these notes as they had received a number of counterfeits. There are special market pens, etc that bar staff use to check notes so unsure why this was an issue. Very inconvenient.

Ate here for 4 days whilst on a coach trip. The establishment was clean and the staff were pleasant, but there were a few things that let it down. My main concern was that there were no sneeze guards over any of the food, particularly where the desserts were laid out and everybody had to pass/wait in order to get their main meal. Likewise, in the hot plate area there was no food protection whatsoever, and while this may not be a mandatory requirement, this is the only hotel in years that I haven't seen this in place to protect customers and staff alike, even before covid times. The breakfast is very good although we missed some mushrooms with our full English, and ironically the fresh bread is covered with a tea towel. The dinner portion sizes were a bit hit and miss, as one evening my partner got 1 small fishcake, 3 new potatoes and a bit of veg, not very substantial for an adult, yet my stuffed peppers and vegetables was a good size. We also thought that £37 for a bottle of Errazuriz Chardonnay was very extreme, and while we understand there has to be a mark up, we didn't pay this much in London!

Rather disappointing experience the receptionist was as welcome as the wife when I've been out with the boys all day got to the room no shaver point in the bathroom and no toilet brush how do you avoid the skidmarks when you been on the bevy in Newcastle

Great selection of beers etc .. Typical spoons frozen food Cheap and affordable 👌
