Il Girasole Ashington

Il Girasole Ashington

Verified
4.8(86 reviews)
93/100
Il Girasole in Ashington is a cracking little spot for Italian grub, with top-notch pizzas and friendly vibes that have most people coming back for more, though watch out for the odd delivery mishap.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – especially the pizzas, which folks rave about for their delicious dough, crust, and toppings; it's like a taste of Italy right here in Ashington.
  • Great value for your money, with meals that leave you full and satisfied without breaking the bank; one reviewer even mentioned a lovely three-course Christmas menu for around £28 each.
  • Friendly and welcoming service that makes you feel right at home, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or having them cater a special event like a wedding.
  • High marks overall, with a solid 4.8 rating from plenty of happy visitors, showing it's a reliable choice for a tasty meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was one disappointing experience with delivery through Just Eat, where the pizza was described as absolutely horrible, so it might be best to dine in rather than order out.
  • They seem to prefer cash payments, which could be a bit of a hassle if you're used to just tapping your card – worth keeping some notes on hand just in case.
  • No clear operating hours listed, which might make it tricky to plan a visit without checking ahead, potentially leading to a wasted trip.

Hop 77

4.9(50 reviews)
93/100
Hop 77 is a charming little micro pub in Ashington with cracking beers and a warm, chatty vibe, though its limited hours might catch you out if you're not prepared.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home, even remembering your face from previous visits.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of craft beers on offer, from keg and cask to cans, so there's always something to suit your taste.
  • The atmosphere is spot on – it's a welcoming spot where you'll find plenty of people up for a chat, making it feel like a proper local hangout.
  • It's dog-friendly, which is a lovely touch if you're out with your four-legged mate.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours are quite limited, only running in the evenings and not every day of the week, so it might not be ideal for spontaneous visits.
  • There's no website or phone number listed, which can make it a bit of a hassle to check the latest details or plan ahead.
  • As the business isn't claimed on Google, it might not have the most up-to-date info or events, which could leave you wanting more from a modern pub experience.

The New Premier Club

4.9(24 reviews)
90/100
The New Premier Club is a charming little spot in Ashington, where friendly faces and affordable drinks make for a welcoming escape – a real hidden gem for a relaxed night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and regulars are absolutely brilliant, making everyone feel right at home with their warm welcomes and friendly chats.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a pint or a round without worrying about the cost – it's proper good value.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere, perfect for a sociable night out with entertainment on offer, and they've got safety measures in place to keep things comfortable.
  • As a local spot, it's welcoming to all sorts, whether you're a regular or just passing through, like those caravan folk who had a smashing time.
Areas for Improvement
  • It doesn't have much of an online presence, so it might be a bit tricky to get the latest info or updates before heading over.
  • The reviews we've seen are a tad outdated, from a few years back, so it's worth checking if things are still as tip-top as they were.
  • With it being a smaller club, it might not have the same lively buzz or variety you'd find in bigger pubs, and it's more of a local affair.

The Portland in Ashington is a lovely spot for a bite and a stay, with top-notch food, comfy rooms, and welcoming vibes that make it a go-to for a relaxed outing.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

Areas for Improvement
  • Wi-Fi can be a bit unreliable at times, dropping out in the evenings which might frustrate you if you're trying to stream or work.

The Grand Station Lounge is a friendly Ashington pub that's brilliant for catching live sports and enjoying a wide drink selection, though it can be hit or miss on busier vibes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and owner are absolutely brilliant – always up for a chat and make you feel right at home, which really adds to the welcoming atmosphere.
  • It's a top spot for sports lovers, with loads of screens showing everything from Premier League matches to boxing, and they even have a massive screen for Newcastle United games.
  • The drink selection is fantastic, especially their huge range of spirits and gins – it's one of the best in Ashington, perfect for trying something new.
  • They've got some cracking events on offer, like live music and themed nights, which keep things exciting and make for memorable evenings out.
  • The food menu is spot on, with hearty pub classics, delicious Sunday roasts, and even afternoon tea options that hit the spot after a few drinks.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit quiet at times, so if you're after a buzzing crowd every visit, you might find it a tad underwhelming on off nights.
  • Some drinks feel overpriced, particularly the draught lagers, where the selection isn't as varied as you'd hope for a pub of this size.
  • The location downstairs might not suit everyone, especially if you're popping in for a quick one and prefer something more accessible.
  • While the decor is quirky and fun, it doesn't always stand out from the crowd, so it might not wow you straight away like some other spots do.

  • Some reviews mention it being just okay compared to other spots, so it might not stand out if you're after something more exciting.

Generous George is a friendly local spot with top-notch staff and scrumptious food, though it has a few layout quirks and can be lively with the little ones.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, helpful, and go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, like Jonny sorting things out or Dan the chef whipping up delicious pizzas.
  • The food is a real highlight; it's tasty, served quickly, and offers great value for money, with plenty of choices for vegetarians and a welcoming atmosphere to enjoy it in.
  • It's got a clean and attractive decor that creates a pleasant vibe, and being open seven days a week from midday to 11 PM makes it super convenient for a casual get-together.
Areas for Improvement
  • The layout can feel a bit off for some, making certain spots uncomfortable or not quite right, even if the decor is nice overall.
  • It might get a tad chaotic at times with younger ones around, like playing darts or pool, which can disrupt the peace if you're after a quiet drink.

  • It's got great value for money with affordable prices on a solid range of drinks, from draught lagers to craft beers and wines.
  • The food is a real highlight – tasty pub grub with options for everyone, including excellent vegan choices, and it's served quickly.
  • There's a lovely beer garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun with mates, enjoying a meal or just a refreshing drink outdoors.
  • It's family-friendly with live sports, events, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to pop in for a casual get-together.
  • Plenty of parking and full wheelchair access, so it's hassle-free to visit, no matter how you're getting there.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit tucked away off the main paths, which makes it more of a locals' spot rather than somewhere you'd stumble upon while travelling.
  • The hours can feel a tad early for late-night fun, typically wrapping up around 11pm or midnight, so it might not suit night owls.
  • While it's got a great vibe for regulars, it doesn't seem to draw much passing trade, so the atmosphere might be quieter on off-peak days.

It's a welcoming hotel with a handy restaurant, offering solid comfort and friendly service right by the countryside, though it has a few niggles like noise and staffing.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going the extra mile to sort out any mix-ups or special requests.
  • Rooms are clean and comfortable, with lovely views if you opt for one, making it a great spot for a peaceful overnight stay.
  • The food in the restaurant is generally spot on, with tasty options and even little touches like Easter gifts that add a nice surprise.
  • Free parking and Wi-Fi make it convenient, and the location next to Queen Elizabeth Country Park is perfect for a quick getaway.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some rooms aren't the most soundproof, so you might hear a bit more than you'd like from neighbouring stays.
  • There can be times when the team seems a tad understaffed, leading to a busier atmosphere than ideal.
  • Occasionally, the food might not be piping hot, as one person mentioned with their curry, which is a bit disappointing.

The Lord Barrington is a welcoming little pub in Choppington that's all about relaxed vibes, cracking pints, and a friendly crowd – ideal for a laid-back catch-up with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and regulars are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in – it's just like chatting with mates down the local.
  • Prices are spot on and reasonable, so you won't break the bank for a good pint or a bite.
  • It's got all the classic pub vibes with a pool table and dart board, perfect for a bit of friendly competition after a few drinks.
  • They serve up homemade fresh oven-baked pizzas that sound absolutely delicious – a nice touch for when you're after something more than just a drink.
  • The pints are top-notch, especially the John Smith's, which folks rave about as the best in the area.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours are a bit limited, just from 3pm to 11pm every day, so it's not ideal if you're looking for a spot earlier in the day.
  • There's no website or phone number listed, which makes it tricky to check what's on or get in touch if you fancy popping by.
  • With only a handful of reviews out there, it might not be the most buzzing place, and it's unclaimed online, so it could do with a bit more attention to shine brighter.

Bubbles Bar

4.1(167 reviews)
81/100
Bubbles Bar in Ashington is a lively rock venue with a cracking atmosphere and friendly vibes, but it's let down by pricey drinks and a younger crowd that might not suit all tastes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The live music scene is absolutely buzzing – it's a proper rock bar that encourages new bands and creates a fantastic atmosphere for music lovers.
  • The staff are top-notch, always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home.
  • There's a solid selection of beers, spirits, and cocktails, perfect for a night out with mates.
  • It's a unique little hideaway off the beaten path, which adds to its charm if you're after something a bit different in Ashington.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be seriously overpriced compared to other spots in the area, which might put a dampener on the fun.
  • The crowd tends to be on the younger side, sometimes leading to a rowdy vibe that might not be everyone's cup of tea.
  • It seems to have lost some of its old-school appeal, turning into a place that could feel a bit overwhelming if you're not up for the hustle and bustle.

The Rohan Kanhai is a welcoming Wetherspoon spot in Ashington, offering affordable grub and drinks with friendly service, though it's showing its age in places.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always serving with a smile which really makes you feel welcome.
  • Food is solid and offers great value for money – think a hearty burger and pint for around £12, perfect for a casual bite.
  • It's spacious and comfortable, with a lively atmosphere that can get buzzing, especially during events like bingo.
  • Opens early and stays late, making it convenient for a quick breakfast or an evening out.
Areas for Improvement
  • The decor feels a bit dated and worn, with mentions of sticky carpets that could do with a refresh.
  • It can get quite loud when it's busy, which might not suit everyone looking for a quiet chat.
  • Food is described as average at times, so if you're after something fancy, it might not hit the spot.
  • Some areas seem in need of a spruce-up, like the carpets, which detracts from the overall experience.

The Mighty Oak and Acorn Bistro is a charming little bar in Ashington that's earning rave reviews for its top-notch Sunday dinners and friendly vibe – a real hidden gem for a relaxed pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday dinners are absolutely unreal and seem to be the talk of the town, with one reviewer calling them the best around – perfect for a hearty meal after a long week.
  • It's got a solid 5-star rating from all who've shared their thoughts, giving it that welcoming, community feel like your favourite local spot.
  • Open seven days a week with flexible hours, making it easy to drop in for a pint or a bite whenever the mood strikes.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a small handful of reviews so far, it's hard to get a full picture of what it's like on a busy night or if there are any hidden quirks.
  • No website means you might struggle to find more details online, so it's a bit of a leap of faith if you're not already in the area.
  • The operating hours listed look a tad messy, which could confuse things if you're trying to plan ahead.

The Round House Cafe is a delightful community spot in Ashington, serving up tasty, affordable grub in a warm and sociable setting – ideal for a relaxed catch-up over tea and scones.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The food is spot on – think delicious breakfasts, hearty lunches, and Kath's legendary cheese scones that everyone raves about.
  • Prices are really reasonable, so you can enjoy a good meal without breaking the bank, like a bacon butty and coffee for just over £3.
  • It's got a strong community vibe with activities like knit and natter groups, which add a lovely social touch.
  • Free WiFi is a nice bonus, perfect for popping in while you're waiting around or working nearby.
Areas for Improvement
  • The signage could do with some improvement; it's a bit tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area.
  • It's only open five days a week from 9 to 3, which might not suit everyone, especially if you're after an evening spot.
  • With just a handful of reviews, it's hard to get a full picture, and that one lower rating suggests it might not click for absolutely everyone.

Central Bar in Ashington is a friendly local spot with a cosy, nostalgic feel, ideal for a relaxed pint, though it has a few rough edges that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and owner are absolutely brilliant, making you feel right at home with their warm and welcoming manner.
  • It's got a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a fun night out with mates, especially if you're up for some good old-fashioned craic.
  • The nostalgic vibes take you back to the '70s, with mentions of icons like Alice Cooper, which adds a charming, throwback appeal.
Areas for Improvement
  • The music selection seems a bit limited and might not excite everyone, as one person found it a bit of a yawn with no heavy tunes on offer.
  • Operating hours can be confusing and inconsistent, with the place sometimes feeling closed or not as reliable as you'd hope.
  • It doesn't seem to have much of an online presence or buzz these days, which might make it feel a tad outdated or under the radar.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location is absolutely spot on, right in Queen Elizabeth Country Park with stunning views and outdoor seating that's perfect for a sunny day out.
  • It's super family-friendly, with an indoor play area and a dedicated kids' menu that keeps the little ones happy while you enjoy your meal.
  • Prices are quite reasonable, especially with lunch deals starting from just £5 and that tempting Sunday carvery for £12.99 – great value for a hearty feed.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and quick to assist, making the whole experience feel welcoming.
  • There's a good variety on the menu, including tasty options for vegans and some solid dishes like burgers and crumbles that hit the spot.
Areas for Improvement
  • Waiting times can be a bit of a drag, like one experience where it took 40 minutes for the main course to arrive, which puts a damper on things.
  • Food quality isn't always up to scratch; for instance, a pizza that felt like it came straight from a cheap frozen pack, rather than something freshly made.
  • Custom requests might not go your way, such as being turned down for adding extras like mushrooms, which is a shame if you're after something specific.
  • Desserts have had mixed reviews, with one described as a big bowl of slop, so you might want to skip them or keep expectations in check.
