Pub · Newcastle upon Tyne
Sunday roast is the big draw here — beef and a nut roast both land as properly cooked plates rather than an afterthought, and puddings are worth leaving room for. The rest of the menu holds up too: fish and chips, burgers, a good drinks list including a local rum. It's a genuinely snug room, warm and low-lit, with outdoor seating, free parking and buggy access to get in without a fight, plus high chairs and a kids' menu. Staff are patient and unhurried — one family found a lost wallet handed back without fuss. Two honest snags: it fills with TVs and noise on Newcastle match days, when kitchen waits stretched to well over an hour, and Sundays get busy. Book ahead, avoid match days with small children, and it's a lovely lunch. Dogs welcome too.
