The Stonebrook in North Tyneside

We haven't been in for a couple of years due to you know what but I'm pleased we did today. Our server was attentive, but not pushy and very friendly and pleasant. He made a change in my husband's meal with no query at all and double checked our order. The food came out within 10-15 mins and was piping hot, not lukewarm like other establishments. I had one of the best curries I've tasted, plenty of chicken and full of flavour. They have a good choice of non-alcoholic drinks for those who don't drink or are driving, a nice change from the usual offerings of fruit juices and pop elsewhere. It's reasonably priced too for the quality of the food. The atmosphere is relaxed, though it was late afternoon when we went so not too busy. Overall, an excellent choice if you want a relaxing couple of hours out and we recommend it to couples and families alike

We went for a meal here again and it was lovely. I think the people working there are nice and nothing is too much trouble. I like how your not having to go up and down to the bar to order, as it’s all table service. The food is tasty and freshly cooked, spoilt for choice and desserts are good if you have room still. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Our first visit since stonebrook. Love the decor, very comfortable seats. Would have given 5 stars for a nice atmosphere, very friendly & welcoming staff but not all was perfect. Had a variety platter. Chicken in milk was lovely. Gammon steak equally so. My beef steak, although cooked just as I like it, was both tough & bland. I would go back cos you can't condemn for 1 fault.

I had the vegetarian Christmas Dinner and Christmas pudding and it was absolutely gorgeous! Well recommend a visit. The staff are so nice and helpful. Price was very reasonable.

Cannot fault this pub, the lady serving us was friendly and efficient, drinks order taken within a few minutes of being seated, served minutes later, food order taken straight after and took around 20-30mins, the food was tasty, fresh and good value for money, 2x drinks, 2x Sunday roasts and 2x deserts cost us just over £30 which was perfectly reasonable. Only surprised it wasn't busier!

Staff are always pleasant but food menu has a focus on up-selling and drinks menu doesn't have prices on.....why? You wouldn't put a food menu out without prices.

Breakfast is not very good, below average in fact.The Continental part is good, however the cooked breakfast is rubbish.The beans are tasteless, the vegetarian sausages are tasteless and have some weird skin hanging off them, the eggs were okay, the hashbrown was also tasteless and soggy.Waste of money.The coffee from the machine and fresh orange are both nice though.Very disappointing. Its lovely inside though.

Decent Sunday lunch, extra toasties and Yorkshires is a nice tweek to the options on the menu. It took us about 30 mins to get our food as they were quite busy with it being a Sunday. I would say the Holystone is reasonably priced, not the greatest Sunday lunch I've had but I'd most likely return if I was in the area again. Staff were spot on and professional throughout the sitting and very accommodating to our requests. The venue it's self is very nicely decorated, we sat out towards the conservatory which had plenty of lighting and enough space for four of us. The chairs are nice to sit on but quite heavy to move which could be a struggle for an older person. Some of the veg was a little under cooked but still edible. Had problems with stock and only limited items on the menu, however a lot of restaurants in a similar position at the time of our visit with supply chain issues.

This is a pub we call into occasionally if we're in the area. Always find the staff very helpful and friendly. The beer garden is brilliant on a sunny day and much larger than it looks as it goes around the side of the building. Prices for both drinks and food are about average compared to other places, burgers are good. Well worth a visit if you're in the area or want to try somewhere different.

Just had a lovely festive lunch with friends. Prawn cocktail , turkey then slow gin trifle. My friends had pate ,steak & after eight mint sundae. Everything was delicious & because we ordered in November we got a free bottle of prosecco .All this for £13:99. The service was excellent ,very pleasant staff & nicely decorated dining room. Needless to say we will be returning soon.
