Boy were we surprised - this pub was such a good find! The interior atmosphere is very warm, very English and generally pleasant. Traditional pub meets some modern elegance with 2 woodburning fireplaces.The lunch deals were fantastic. I've posted some pics of the food we had - it was so YUM especially for the prices. Wine by the bottle is quite reasonable as well. I noticed that they have a pretty large beer garden outside so I can't wait for summertime to try that out. Definitely worth the trip - a long but lovely walk from Regent Centre metro station (probably 1.5 miles). Will definitely return...!

This is a very relaxed pub with quite a nice outlook and very comfort seating areas. If your looking for somewhere to get a very cheap meal and feed the whole family, then this is definetely a pub to visit. If you like a little bit more of a buzzy environment then there is always the bar where you have a choice of darts, game machines or pool. There is adequate parking available and its positioned directly on the bus route into Newcastle City centre, so a great place to start your night out in.

Food would take ages and occasionally they would stop taking orders I don't know if they've given him a kick up the backside or kicked him out altogether, but service is so much quicker now, and definitely worth the wait even when it takes a while longer. There are plenty of parking spaces, and the staff are nice if you're like us and always fancy a good bit grub when you're out and about at the weekend, you won't be disapppointed.

Another 'spoons bar. What would we do without them? However, sitting outside on a summers day, (…read moreyes, we DO get them in the NE, occasionally) with a pint, watching the Tyne flow past, is truly idyllic. Cheap beer, reasonable nosh, and a good view, what more can you ask for?.

Situated on Hexham's main street, the Tap & Spile (aka 'The Tap') is one of the nicest pubs in…read moretown. Incidentally, it also doubles up as a B&B, but having never stayed there I don't think it right to comment on anything other than it's main public house functionality! So, The Tap is one of those traditional, unfussy pubs that doesn't try to pretend to be anything but, which is very pleasing in this era of identikit gastropub-cum-nightclub efforts springing up everywhere. There is always a good selection of beers on offer (cannot really comment on anything else wine or spirit-related) including a couple of guest ales which are different each time I go, each well kept. One little moan is that the prices are creeping up into London territory - £3.80 for a pint seems a little steep. The bar is smallish but centrally located to the main seating areas, of which there is a fair amount. It can get a little cosy at the usual busy times but never had trouble getting a seat after too long. Am usually in there every other Monday evening and it's a nice place to have a quiet pint or two and catch up with people. Not had a chance to try their food yet, but am reliably informed it is rather good indeed - clearly need to find an excuse to back up this source of information. What is nice about The Tap is that whilst more of a traditional establishment, there is a good age range of people in there, so it doesn't feel like you're in one of those locals pubs, where you may not be as welcome as you first thought... Various events are also put on during the week: Quiz & Curry on a Monday, Pies on a Tuesday and Thursday, plus a regular Sunday tea-time live music offered up by local artists and bands. A nice mix of activities, but doesn't detract from the fact that this is still a great pub - worth checking out if you're ever in Hexham and need your thirst quenching!

We came here on a Saturday night as it was recommended by a local. We booked a table by the phone…read moreand arrived at 8pm. The place had a nice buzz and was very nicely presented. We were seated right at the back, between the window overlooking the terrace with outside seating and a dark blue wall. The lighting was also not enough so it was a big difference to the rest of the restaurant. Still, we received good service for a pub, but not good enough if they're going to be priding themselves as a gastro pub. Still, the food is excellent. I'm sorry my pictures don't do it justice. (I had to use flash 'cos it was too dark.) We ordered the soup of the day (potato and leek), the salt and pepper squid to start. The soup got the thumbs up and the squid was fresh but it lacked both salt and pepper, which was no bother when the rings were so easy to eat and the batter so crispy! For mains we had a fish and chips - the fish was a bit too dry for my liking and the chips were under cooked but the mushy peas were good; 10 oz rib eye steak - it was wolfed down in minutes it was cooked to perfection; cajun chicken burger - chicken was tender and nicely flavoured and the sweet potato chips were not soggy at all; pork belly with mustard mash - I felt that this was the winning dish (again, sorry my picture looks crap) the pork had the right amount of fat and the lean parts were tender. When I noticed that crackling was missing, the waiter brought a whole side dish of it and they were GOOD! All crisp and no annoying chew! I was honestly too full to eat dessert but our friends ordered a sticky toffee pudding and a hot chocolate brownie smothered in chocolate sauce. They came piping hot and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Both were generously portioned and were tasty according to my friends. Definitely come and try out their food. Avoid sitting at the very back though!
