The Keel Row - North Tyneside

Quick pop in today with family. Just gone 12pm on a Thursday and particularly busy. Found a nice table and ordered the food and drinks at the bar. Staff are great. I chose here because of the extensive menu so all 4 of us were catered for including the vegetarian among us and the good prices. A lot of the meals were under £10 which is handy these days. Was told by one of the family that the roast beef on the roast of the day was a bit tough but ok. Got to admit I was a bit disappointed with my “homemade corned beef pie” as it was simply a bit of puff pastry sliced in half with a dollop of hash inserted inside. Not the beautiful short crust pastry plate pie most pubs and cafe’s serve up. Overall, a decent enough visit for the quality and price but nothing that excites. Service was very good even though busy and the place is very dog friendly.

Lovely little find, good wide ranging menu and lovely decor inside. Staff welcoming. Good pricing and large portions. My rare steak was perfectly cook and we all enjoyed our meal. Only feedback I would say would be could do with an comprehensive allergen list and staff could have been a bit more attentive to the tables as we had to continue to ask for service especially when we first arrived but as mentioned very friendly and cheerful

Small but quirky pub on a country lane in Seaton Deleval, but very dog friendly and very family friendly. The pub is of a Victorian era with the decor very appropriate for the era. We chose 2 Sunday dinners, a Carvery Bap and a Scampi, all were piping hot when they came out and well laid out. The Meat was hot, the gravy was meat gravy and there was the option was gluten free. The dog friendly was a big sell having our little pooch, we were able to sit in the bar amongst other dogs and despite him barking, there was no problem. The staff are extremely friendly, very welcoming and attentive to your needs, there is no push to finish and they check if all is okay with food.

This was our first visit to the pub and we will return when we are next in the area. We were a party of 5 and all had a fabulous meal. I can certainly recommend the Swiss chicken. Bonus it’s dog friendly so our four legged friend could join us.

We call in here every year when visiting the area and are never disappointed. I had the steak and ale pie which must have had 12 huge pieces of beef in which was absolutely delicious and my wife had a cheese, ham and mushroom omelette which she said was lovely. The prices are so reasonable. Some places would be charging the same for one of these meals that we paid for both. There are always lots of staff around and nothing is too much trouble. Will be back next year!
