Dun Cow - Newcastle upon Tyne

Sadly this place has gone really down hill. Food was terrible, we had to send it back. White wine was warm, their answer was to load it with ice which just watered it down! When we complained it made no difference and we were just handed the bill!! We use to go here weekly but now wouldn’t go back again as the last few times have been awful!

Wow! This Sunday was amazing. The food and drinks were excellent, served by a flawless team in a pub with a wonderfully friendly atmosphere. Overall, it was a fantastic family outing. This hidden gem definitely deserves recognition. Hats off to everyone involved, we will definitely be returning!

This pub advertises food being served 12-4 on Sundays. Today they had ‘run out of food’ in a half-full bar at 230pm. Disappointing.

Walking from our hotel in Jesmond to Newcastle we happened upon this bar called in on the way back, what a great find, pleasant staff serving, nice atmosphere, good service lovely cocktails, sat in the conservatory area which was light and airy, great outside area which is a great sun trap until mid-late afternoon. Only gripe was, another group nearby were vaping indoors, not a fan of smoking or vaping shouldn’t be allowed on the premises, mind you the staff never visited our table in the time we were there so didn’t see it either, maybe if they had it would have been stopped.

Giving this local bar and kitchen a third chance after some very iffy past experiences, we were quietly optimistic that things would have improved with new staff and menus. Sadly it was not to be. Played safe with two of the advertised pub classics ... fish and chips and gammon with eggs, chips and peas. The fish and chips were burned and oily, the gammon tough as old boots with more of the burned greasy chips. Add a dirty ketchup bottle and a sticky varnished table and no desserts to choose from as it ‘wasn’t a Sunday’ and you get the picture. Never again. No more chances.
