Wetherspoons in Gateshead

This pub is near the car park, so well located as a rendezvous point. It was pleasant to sit down and enjoy refreshment while waiting for my designated driver (who was still shopping a good couple of glasses later).

Busy but food wasn't as tasty as expected although it was certainly hot. I got chicken nugget type meal. It was meant to be spicy . It was blande

Went for a Friend's Quiz night. The quizmaster and the quiz were fun, as was the mini free pizza they gave people. I wouldn't rush back as the rest of the food was not good at all and the place was freezing cold.

Pleasant enough pub but they produce very short “pints”. Wish I had ordered at the bar!!

Staff have no clue what they're doing, 6 stood behind a bar trying to use the till or having a chat while numerous patrons are waiting to be served, overall a dim dusky atmosphere felt my self getting depressed with the lack of natural light, with multiple drink options not in service. Tables needing to be cleared but once again staff too busy having a natter or trying to suss the till.I'd honestly go to a different wetherspoons as this one is the worst I've ever set foot in. Glad I have left and went over to the cocktail bar in the yellow mall of metro centre.

Had a really good night here. There was one bar maid, around 5ft with dark hair, that really deserves a mention. She looked after us amazingly well and helped our night go off without a hitch. Only 4 stars simply because they are a very busy Wetherspoons and appear to sell out of things on a regular basis. Great place otherwise

I have to say shopping is not my favourite past time ! However came up North to visit our daughter and her partner. Included in the visit was the mandatory shopping excursion to the metro centre for some holiday clothes . Was well knackered after dragging our heals around many of the shops and decided to nip into trusty Wetherspoons for a meal and liquid refreshment ! The place was heaving, extremely …busy as expected at about 1 pm. Now initially I was somewhat apprehensive re the amount of people and the lengthy delay we anticipated in getting served . However our fears were soon allayed by the extremely hard working and friendly staff. We placed our drinks and grub order via the Wetherspoons App. Within ten minutes our drinks arrived closely followed by four piping hot main courses! The staff were friendly and attentive, they were constantly cleaning and clearing tables. The service and value for money this branch of Wetherspoons provides is second to non! Our food was excellent. Of course this isn’t a gourmet eatery where you might like to take a picture of your grub rather than neck it ! It is however an Oasis of value for money food that’s going to hold your ribs together till tea time. Served quickly by staff who were warm and welcoming. Jobs a good un , many of our southern eatery’s could take lessons from this chain and indeed this branch !! Ten out of ten ! Made shop almost pleasurable!!

Genuinely couldn't fault anything about the service here. It's a Wetherspoons at the end of the day so you get what you pay for. However on our visit we ordered the food via the app, and it arrived piping hot about 10 minutes later. It tasted great, and the drinks were good too. No complaints from us at all.

I’ll open by admitting I didn’t eat here or drink here. I walked in with my family on a Sunday afternoon and the place looked post apocalyptic. The carpet looked like it had its own life-form it was that dirty. The whole bar area just looked tired and old, it put me in mind of a truck stop cafe on the M6. The tables and pretty much everything else were so sticky an extinction rebellion protester wouldn’t need to glue themselves to it, just sitting down would do the trick.So in summary I took one look at the place and left and would recommend anyone else to do the same. It’s a shame really because this absolutely isn’t my experience of other pubs in this chain.

Big pub was good amount of space to have food. The menu was limited to choose from but t has something for everyone. The place was clean and the staff was friendly and hot on the trace to clean the table down once someone leaves. So you can tell hygiene was high on the priority of staff. Very good. The food came out fast and it was nice. Give it ago you can't go wrong
