Tyneside Tavern And Mazzoli Italian Kitchen

Arrived as a coach load and got served really quickly when we arrived. Black sheep on tap. Ashes cricket showing on two televisions in our bar. We didn't eat, so I can not comment on that. Toilets clean. It's a lovely place, and I really recommend it. Lost a service star as later there was only one staff on and I didn't get served when they were changing the barrel, which I accept happens, but I had a dry 15 minutes! Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Visited as a group of 40 or so for a retirement celebration. Venue offers ideal combination of a cosy bar to meet up, then move through to restaurant for a meal. Bar and restaurant service, and food, couldn't be faulted. Recommended. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Visited at lunchtime and enjoyed the fixed price lunch menu. Had our dog so ate in the bar. Food was excellent, very good value, staff were friendly and welcoming. Look forward to a return visit.

Was in the dining area 3 weeks ago and the food was excellent and very reasonable priced. Five meals, four soft drinks and one IPA cost was around £83; very reasonable these days. On Sunday, went to the bar to watch football. Place was empty, which was surprising, given it is a very clean and welcoming place. Got a taster before buying a beer, then had a few IPA £5.50 a pint for the latter. Again; very reasonable given I paid £6.80 for same IPA in Edinburgh last week. Great service on both occasions and I will make a point of going back soon. Kid friendliness: Dining room allows kids in during day, not sure about bar.
