One of the best bites in Byker! Couldn't recommend this place enough especially after a nice tootle around Ouseburn - staff are very welcoming, great selection of drinks (especially beer) and food to die for!! Would definitely get the slow cooked beef brisket fries!!
When I asked for Sunday lunch recommendations, this place was the most recommended by FAR. Absolutely worth the hype couldn't fault this dinner at all, just be sure to book in advance. We got a pork belly and a beef and also shared some stuffing and pigs in blankets. Dinners were around £17 which is really good for the quality and portion size we were all stuffed! Fluffy but crispy roasties, creamy mash, tasty honey carrots and loads of gravy! From what I could see they only did mains but tbf you don't need starters or puds
Tanners Arms Pub Review
Visited Tanners Arms recently, and while the experience had some positive points, it ultimately fell short of my expectations.
First, the service was great – the tall server was friendly and welcoming, which made a positive first impression. The pub is also dog-friendly, which is always a nice touch for pet owners.
However, the menu was a bit underwhelming. While it’s a pub, I expected a bit more variety. Most of the options seemed to be either chicken or beef burgers, with about 90% of the menu being Cajun chicken-related dishes. I was looking forward to trying something new, given the pub's high rating for food, but sadly, it didn’t live up to the hype.
The food itself was average. The chips were greasy and had a distinct old fryer oil taste, which was disappointing. The burger, despite being advertised as "gourmet," was very plain. It lacked any dressing or interesting flavor – just a basic burger with no excitement. For the price (£17-£25 per person), I expected more.
The venue had a nice atmosphere, but it could use a little work in terms of upkeep and ambiance. Unfortunately, I didn’t use the toilets, so I can’t comment on those.
Overall, I wanted to love this place, but the food didn’t quite hit the mark. Would I return? Maybe for a drink or to try something else on the menu, but I’ll be lowering my expectations for the food next time
