"We hadn't been to the Keel Row since living in Cramlington about 30 years and recently decided to go there for our weekly pub lunch. I had noticed on the on-line menu that all the listed awards were years old, being upto 9 years in the past, but decided to ignore this fact and take a chance, especially as there was one item in the mains that we hadn't had before. We got a table for two and our menus. I noticed two old chips lurking under the table but my wife didn't think that it was worth mentioning it to the staff. I had the prawn cocktail, which contained the smallest prawns I had ever seen and a mediocre sauce. My wife had creamy garlic mushrooms, which was plain with no garlic taste at all. For mains, we had both wanted the sizzling Shanghai mixed platter but were told that it was off, as they had ran out of Hoisin sauce! The alternatives were pretty standard fare. My fish and chips had a relatively small battered fish which was wet and soggy inside, with tiny, mushy flakes, as opposed to the large, solid flakes elsewhere. My wife's checken was unremarkable. We also had a loud pub phone ringing nearby unanswered for several minutes, despite the place being fairly quiet and also noticed that tables were wiped down without being sprayed as in other places. Also, tables and chairs were moved around nearby while we were eating. Overall, this was the poorest meal experience we had come across in a very long time and, needless to say, we will not be dining there again. Certainly not recommended and an eatery to be avoided."
