"Prima is a real gem of a restaurant, a stone's throw from both the Quayside and from the centre of town, so definitely a convenient location but it can get busy, especially of a weekend. I was there recently on a works night out, in a party of at least 25 people, seated upstairs along with two or three others parties of over 25 people too. There was a great atmosphere, a real buzz about the place, and the staff really were enjoying themselves, which was great to see! I did think that with so many large parties eating all at once, the food would either take some time to come out or be rushed and of inferior quality. Wrong and wrong! All our orders came out around the same time (as best could be done with such a large group and the food was excellent. There's lots to choose from, as a guide my starter was scallops with black pudding, parma ham and salad the scallops were cooked perfectly, my only teeny complaint was that the black pud was a bit overdone! Main was a Pizza Lucifero (nice'n'spicy had to be done , and that was also cooked perfectly, the thin base cooked through but not overdone, the right amount of toppings, really tasty. Lots of clean plates and happy people at the end (I would've had a dessert, but everyone else was feeling full and I didn't want to be the lone greedy guts... All prices seem very reasonable from the menu, although cannot really comment as this one went on the company tab. However, I would definitely come back here given the prices. So, if you're looking for somewhere in Newcastle with great food, excellent atmosphere and superb staff, you'll not be disappointed should you opt to come here."

"Amici London failed to live up to its reputation. Even though they have an amazing patio with heaps of sun, the service was terrible! It took a long time for our drinks to arrive and even longer (1+ hour for our food to be brought to the table (even though we pre-ordered . The rosé was very watery, though pricy. The salad I had was very dissappointing. I ordered a burrata salad which consisted of a piece of burrata, literally 4 cherry tomatoes, a little bit of rocket salad and some pesto on top (which tasted like the pesto from the supermarket . Very plain though I paid £13!! I 'm not an expert but the burrate wasn 't creamy at all (it tasted more like mozzarella and even though I ordered a main, they served me a small portion. When I checked the bill they charged me for a main-sized portion (I brought this up at the counter but they wouldn 't recognize my problem as this is just the portions they serve and no one has ever complained about it . We ordered coffee for dessert for which we waited another 30 minutes. When we decided to ask for the bill instead and leave the coffee (as we had another appointment to go to the waitress suddenly decided to make our coffees anyway which we then were forced to get as a take-away. The coffee beans were burned and we paid the price of a regular/large-sized coffee but got served a small one. We mentioned all of the above and made note of our negative experience at the counter but we had to pay full price and (more importantly didn 't even get as much as an apology! I respect it being busy and the staff being a bit rusty after just another lockdown but I have never experienced such a hostile response when bringing my negative experience to the table. Hence this review."

"we thought they might like to know that the fuchs and the hounds were awarded 5 stars on gastrohub. here is our review of the website. another day, a new pub, at least for me, dad has been here before. this beautiful pub in the small village funtington, just wants them to come in. especially on a dreamy winter day, when the dark falls on you from a gray and solemn sky, she entices you through his doors, into the warm, where you can forget the grip of the winter and enjoy a few drinks and a few hot dips. the pub is much bigger than it appears first, with an additional restaurant area behind the bar. despite its size, the pub was warm, a basic area in pub hospitality. we checked the menu, including the special table, and were perhaps impressed. this was certainly one of the better menus that we have, showing a clear flare and imagination. I had expected the half of the prices to reflect the ingredients and dishes, perhaps in the unacceptable clip, but we were pleasantly surprised. the most important meal cuts at £12 £14, which we would consider about the right to a good pub with high quality food. I chose piri piri piri huh with seasoned sweet potatoes and spinat, papa from the special board, put his believe in the drawn steak in a blase and squeaky cake. we have softened the warm and friendly atmosphere, as we have waited for the food and watched the Goldilocks mirrors both temperature and corresponding music. before our meals arrived, and it was immediately obvious that the cook has a wonderful eye for the presentation. both our plates looked stunning, so we quickly sneak in to see if it tasted as good as it looked. that did it. the chicken was juicy, the sweet potato slightly seasoned and delicious, and the spinach was buttery and luxurious. dad's blase and squeakcake were just as perfect so he couldn't make any criticism. if we found a single error, and I notice that this is objectiv, we found the parts a little small. as the pub-geeks we are, we have discussed this to a certain extent. we have decided that as a publican there is a fine line, between which leave their customers feel short changed and leave them with space for a desert so that a few more penny’s collect. we have decided that they have fallen on the right side of the line, and to prove our point, we then ordered a desert. I had white chocolate and orange bread and butter pudding, dad had an individual lemon meringue pipe with Blueberry compot. both of them were delicious. that is undoubtedly a very fine pub. they have looked good and really all the groundboxes. the employees are efficient and friendly, and they have not accused of the overriding policy that is so widespread in many gastro pigs. there is a fine cook in the kitchen, and above all, eating is excellent. we always ask ourselves for every pub visit if we would return with friends and family. the answer in this case is a sounding yes."
