Newcastle Marriott Gosforth Park

Had to persuade the bar staff to let me have a restaurant meal in the bar to start with, apparently the two are not normally mixed, ie bar meals in the bar, restaurant food in the restaurant. Thankfully I eventually got my way and settled in front of one of the many large screen TV's around the bar area. Food took a little time to arrive with a delay between my starter and main course arriving but no major issues. The food was as expected it was OK if slightly expensive but served by friendly staff. Early start in the morning meant I didn't get to test drive the breakfast so can't comment on it but I think next time I stay I might be tempted to see what other places there are to eat in the area.

What is it with Hotels that think they have carte blanche to charge stupid prices to people, and I mean people who work on the road travelling all the time in general, if your a tourist and pay then thats up to you. The food for 5 of us was ok but around 14 pounds for a 3 quid burger, thats nothing special, well thats 5 of us not coming back to eat at this bar and grill

We understand the hotel has recently changed hands and this takes time but being served two different chicken dishes both undercooked is something that shouldn’t happen. The bar is comfortable, presentation was good and the front of hour staff were pleasant. This may have simply been a very unfortunate visit for us but would definitely put us off returning again.

We decided to return to the site of our wedding reception 30 years ago. The staff made it feel like a special evening and the quality of the food and service was superb and good value

Really good so many hotel eateries are bland and disappointing, but this was top notch. Good quality ingredients and well cooked. Really pleasant and friendly service they even picked up that it was our wedding anniversary and brought us complimentary champers!
