Spring Gardens in North Shields

Ah, Spring Gardens – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in North Shields. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are an absolute highlight; they're warm, attentive, and really add to the welcoming vibe, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The drinks deals are spot on too – think cheap pints and that Friday night prosecco offer where you can belt out a tune, which sounds like a right laugh for a casual get-together. Plus, after its recent refurb, it's all spruced up and tidy, with outdoor seating that's ideal for soaking up the sun with a cold one in hand. It's no surprise it's so popular, given it's open seven days a week starting at 11:00. On the flip side, it's a shame they've stopped serving food, as that might disappoint if you're after more than just drinks – and do watch out for the crowds, as it can get packed, leading to a bit of a scramble for seats. All in all, if you're up for good value and a bit of singalong fun without the fancy frills, it's definitely worth checking out, but maybe plan ahead for those busier evenings.
