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...!

With plenty of spacious seating on the patio and tucked away in little corners of the garden we found a lovely little table for 3 in the sunshine. For winter months they have 2 main buildings and 2 out-houses which are very pretty and well decorated inside. Post-birthday night out I was a little worse for wear and ready for a full English and a good cup of tea unfortunately the breakfast cut off point is at 11.30 however I wasn't too disappointed as the rest of the menu left plenty of tantalizing options for me to choose from! The waitress came over to take our orders and helped me choose between 2 dishes that I was torn over. The drinks service was a little slow but the food was timey and the presentation on all the dishes was amazing! My Dad opted for a seafood platter, which came with smoked salmon, crayfish, cockles, mackerel and crab slaw all served with sourdough bread, hollandaise and aioli sauces - seafood heaven! My Mum went for the lamb and goats cheese burger that was divine! The lamb was cooked to perfection with it being pink in the middle and served with a yummy mint yogurt dip and sun-dried tomatoes. I was stuck between the club sandwich and BBQ pulled pork open sandwich. On recommendation I went for the pork, which was served, on sourdough toast with melted Monterey cheese - heaven! I was having food-envy looking at the lamb burger but was not in anyway disappointed with my pork. Finishing off our meal with the Parlour's specialty - ice creams all round! I have a new found love for the homemade lemon meringue cone... There is so many flavours including apple pie and the originals too - its an ice cream lovers heaven! Our leisurely lunch here was fab and they are also promoting the "Super Club" on the 18th of July that is a diner's paradise! With three courses plus their homemade ice cream at £25 a head it doesn't break the bank either. This place was definitely worth the 20-minute drive and I will be back to try their dinner menu!

It was a really yummy cake! The sitting rooms were so cute, we were in the garden shed , and there was the main room, and the ice cream parlour and outdoor sitting. A really well done place, with layout and set up. Sometimes tea shops along the high way have a whole room full of junk they are trying to sell to you and then cramped sitting. But not here I think I saw a few cute things for sale but mostly they were focused on their food and I was told famous ice cream! Well done for keeping the place about whats most important... the food! Friendly service and tasty treats. It was a bit slow because they were super packed and under staff. The waiter apologised for the wait and said someone had called in ill! I can only rate it on the cake and coffee because I didn't eat anything there but I imagine it would be good .

They do a selection of panninis at £4.50 which includes nice chips and FRESH salad. Stella is on tap and the staff are friendly. The only thing that made me feel a bit weird was when the waiter came out with two panninis. My table was expecting a cheese and tomato one (mine) and a pepperoni one. The waiter thought they looked both the same so they must be the same. I'm the kind of weirdo veggie who freaks out at the thought of touching meat. I was reluctant to lift the lid. Dilema. Nevermind, when the right one was put in front of me I fully enjoyed it. There is a childrens play area out the back and a bouncy castle which can be fun when no one is looking. Watch out for the dodgy turning into the car park.

I could have sworn that you were all consigned to the sands of time, but here you are, still dotted around the A1. Given the options I had travelling home - Moto or you, I was definitely plumping for you. Now, don't get me wrong, I had had some good times at Little Chef, and LC excels in basic cholesterol generating food. Which was perfect, as I really needed a hot breakfast to line the belly for my trip back up to Scotland. I could have chosed smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, but honestly, I felt like that would have been a letdown, which in fairness is entirely unjust. Go for the veggie breakfast instead. Thumbs up: exchanging toast/fried bread for sauteed potatoes without as much as a glance Thumbs up: rushing my cup of tea over. I was so cold, and so very happy to see that pot arrive. Thumbs down: Veggie sausage was gross. Little Chef still isn't the cheapest option in town, but this particular operation was shoulders above the motos that blot the motorway landscape and I am glad I held out to find an LC to take my main break from riding. I missed service stations in the states - now I wonder why, when in reality, these places tend to be absolute holes, but some are most definitely better than others.

We just happened to be right by West Avenue yesterday & completely starving, so we stopped in to check out their lunch fare. The hotel lobby is very well appointed, modern and elegant. The cafe itself, open from 8am to 6pm, has a modern European feel to its interior. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. The menu ranges from traditional breakfast items (including kippers?!) to gourmet burgers and sarnies. We had a tuna melt and a gourmet burger with homemade salsa and fries - both very tasty. The Cafe appeared to have a full bar but I didn't really see anyone drinking there at the time, except for coffee - which was fantastic by the way! They also have a very good cake selection. We had a slice of their Beetroot & Hazelnut cake which was suprisingly tasty and moist! (Don't worry, it didn't taste like beetroot at all, but it did have a lovely pink colour). The clientele appeared to be typical Gosforth middle class. The prices weren't cheap but I did feel we got good value and a pleasant experience out of our £20 lunch including drinks and pudding. Definitely will try this place again.
