Buca Di Beppo - North Tyneside

Disappointed with the new layout of the communal areas. It was much better when it was a seperate bar and restaurant. We went for a relaxing family birthday meal (our 2 course meal was included in our room rate) and found it to be anything but relaxing. No designated eating areas therefore we were surrounded by drunk, rowdy people knocking our chairs whilst we were trying to eat our food and generally being disruptive. Tables are too close together. The new work space where the bar used to be is a waste of space at the weekend. I think the hotel would benefit from creating a section for people who are having meals and a section for drinks only. There's nowhere else to sit in the hotel for guests. Couldn't fault our meals or the service however will not be returning for food at the hotel, we will just dine elsewhere if we ever stay again.

Food was nice but a bit pricy. Sunday’s are my preferred time to go with the Sunday lunch offers.

I enjoyed my stay this week, I was travelling alone through work and the staff made me feel very welcome. The service was very prompt and the food lovely. I liked the atmosphere in the eating area although it may not be to everyone’s taste, it was bright and busy with people having meals.

We decided not to dine there as it was full of kids shouting running around, we likened it to a blackpool bar on a Saturday afternoon.

Upon checking into the hotel I went to the restaurant to check my table booking I completed online. They had no record of this but could still book us in. I would have been disappointed if I hadn’t checked and went to restaurant and couldn’t be fitted in. Other than that great service
