Cumberland Arms Tynemouth in North Shields

You know, I had a great time checking out the Cumberland Arms in Tynemouth – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, tucked away near the seafront with stunning views of Tynemouth Priory. I have to say, the food really stands out; their roast dinners are spot on, all fresh and hearty, and it's clear they put effort into making everything authentic and satisfying. The staff are an absolute delight, always on hand to sort you out, whether you're after recommendations or need something adjusted for dietary preferences – it's that kind of thoughtful touch that makes a visit memorable. On the downside, I did notice from a few comments that one or two dishes might not quite hit the mark, like needing a tad more sauce on the Lamb Dhansak, but honestly, it's a minor quibble in an otherwise fantastic experience. If you're heading to the area for a pint and some grub, I'd say it's well worth a stop; it's got that cosy, community feel without being stuffy, and you can tell why folks keep coming back for more.
