"Visited spotted cow for my birthday on Saturday 16 September. As my family reserved a table once we arrived the table was all set and ready for us. The girls and guys working there greeted us straight away and made us feel very welcome. The restaurant was lovely and quiet for a Saturday but that made it even more special as it felt cosy and secluded just for us as a family. The girls came straight away to serve us beverages. Once our food was ordered we all gathered for a lovely family photo which one of the girls took they couldn’t do enough for us So helpful and caring even describing the menu and taking time and patience with us whilst being fussy and asking lots of questions. If you’re in elwick and fancy a yummy pub meal definitely go here. They are amazing and we love visiting. Specially for the girls and guys working here they’re just absolutely lovely and it would not be the same without them. Thank you all for making my birthday special your a credit to the pub."

"Have been here a few times now for Sunday lunch and I have to say the food has been lovely every time. Veg and meat are always cooked freshly and perfect and gravy is very tasty. Only criticism is gravy could be a bit thicker. Staff are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble, even for fussy eaters like myself. Parking: Plenty of parking available Price per person: £10–20"

"We went to this restaurant for a meal and it was absolutely incredible. I ordered the chicken parmesan and my husband had the Turkish mixed grill. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The staff were friendly and the location was fantastic. I can't think of anything negative to say at all. Thank you so much! Ratings: Ambiance: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5"
"Book a table as you don’t want to be disappointed. The food is amazing for a local pub/restaurant the meals are presented like Michelin star restaurants, but for incredible prices and not not small portions either. All fresh quality meals. We all had different meals...and we all complimented them. The staff are fabulous quick to tend to your needs and very warm and welcoming. Katie is a credit to the team and she went out of her way to make us feel welcome. We will back"

"I booked for 10 of us on Saturday night. We sent in our menu choices via Facebook messenger. We were running slightly late for our booking and were told that was no problem. We arrived and were directed to our table with a warm and friendly welcome. Drinks orders were taken and our pre-ordered food started to arrive. Everything was spot on, generous portions, friendly staff and great food. Definitely recommended"

"We went to this pub yesterday for Sunday lunch and we were very impressed. It’s a really nice cosy pub and the staff were all so polite and helpful. We both ordered a starter of chicken liver pate followed by beef with all the usual veg and Yorkshire puddings. In all honesty, next time we will order one portion of pate to share because it came with far more toasty bread than you usually get and we ended up asking to take quite a lot of the pate home with us. The pate was to die for, as was the excellent chutney. It was served with rocket and other leaves which were crisp, fresh and delicious. The main course wasn’t far behind and it was piping hot. The beef was so tender and tasty and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The gravy which was plentiful tasted incredible. It’s our first time and certainly won’t be the last that’s for sure."

"I met up with friends at this restaurant for a meal, and this was my second visit. Last time, I had the steak Guinness pie, which was fantastic. This time, I decided to try the chicken tikka masala pie. I have to say, it is one of the best pies/meals I have had in a long time. The crust was perfect, with plenty of chicken and sauce inside. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and we all left with empty plates. The staff were very attentive, always checking if we needed more drinks and if everything was OK. Overall, we had a great night and will definitely be back."

"My husband booked an evening meal as he wanted somewhere special as his family was visiting us. His uncle ordered Whitby crab to start. This was a teaspoonful of crab! for My husband ordered fillet steak which was crispy on the outside and tough...in the middle, served with a few tomatoes and mushrooms Mine meal, was the worst. I ordered the lamb with jersey royal potatoes and carrots and I was offered a complimentary choice of veg to accompany the carrots. The lamb was presented in a dish and I waited for the potatoes and carrots to arrive but on further inspection I uncovered, hiding under the lamb, a potato that had been sliced into and as for “carrots” I found one tiny whole carrot the size and width of a child’s little finger! I had to remind the waiter about the complimentary veg broccoli oh and it came with kale too ! Bonus! My husband and I were so embarrassed and wanted to enjoy our dining experience with our aunt and uncle who had travelled from West Yorkshire to see us, but the food was somewhat to be desired to say the least. We were all so disappointed and we will certainly not be recommending!"

"We normally order takeaways from Chick Pizz regularly I count at least sixteen orders running back to September on Just Eat. The food is generally excellent. Yes, there had been the odd mishap along the way pertaining to missing sundries (pitta/sauce) but nothing...worth complaining about. Yesterday however they left an entire meal out (chicken strips)! Upon ringing, the receptionist, who had an incredibly poor command of English, was very much abrupt: 'your chicken strips are in the box he insisted . He started mentioning a burger (which we hadn't ordered) and getting diverted as said, his grasp of English was very poor, but his manner was abrupt for which there are no excuses. He didn't even ask our name/address but simply blurted out, I will get your chicken strips out to you and hung up. If it was me, and I imagine most people, I would have handled the situation thus: 'I am incredibly sorry about this; I will get your missing meal out to you immediately and immediately enacted on that, throwing something extra in as an apology. Irrespective, we had serious doubts the errant meal would arrive considering he didn't request name or address, and naturally it didn't arrive! The portion of the meal which DID arrive incidentally was excellent (as it usually is). My explanation for given them three stars for food is that we are discussing an 'invisible meal here, and naturally the value is a one star as we paid for something that didn't arrive. So as a consequence of this, my frequent usage of Chick Pizz comes to an end sadly. I say sadly because their food is excellent and I will miss that. Shame. They will lose a ton of custom from us over this as we were regulars."

"Food was of very low quality. Chips had been re-fried at least twice and were rock solid and full of grease. The steak was like rubber. 9 of us went, not one of us had anything good to say about the food apart from 1 that had a hot pot which was ok. Maybe it was a one off, maybe not.

"I visited The Smith’s today with my daughter and enjoyed reminiscing about my youth and family events held there in the past. The venue has maintained its charm but updated and modernised to offer a lovely environment both indoors and outdoors for drinks and food. Everyone we met from this family run venue from the owner to the bar staff and chef was so friendly and welcoming. The food was cooked fresh to order, although it takes a little longer it was well worth the wait. No microwave warm ups here. The pie chips and vegetables where lush with lovely thick gravy. My daughters Parmo was lovely too with chips and fresh salad. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks"

"The staff at the restaurant were friendly. The vegetarian burger was delicious, but the fries served with it were fried too much. The chicken special dish came with cold, overcooked roasted potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding that was also overcooked. Overall, it was a disappointing experience considering the Morning Star was recommended to us. I'm not sure if it truly lives up to its reputation as a gastro pub."

"Although not local we don't mind the 45 min drive to eat here. Great food, really good prices, good portions, good staff although occasionally slightly inattentive but nothing to worry about. Nice atmosphere, always busy. We especially love the kids menu as it's something like 7quid for the children to eat some decent food with a drink and desert, when you think a happy meal and ice cream from MCshit is a fiver at least.... And the adult 2 course happy hour is great value."

"Food was nice once they got my order right, unfortunately we were seated right next to the kitchen doors even though there was ample seats further away but on the whole we will return but not on the same seats. Parking: A very small onsite carpark maybe 6 or 7 spaces, on street parking was already full I had to park right on a wide path which I do not like to do as it impedes pedestrians, maybe all the parking is taken up by staff they should think of there customers parking more. Wheelchair accessibility: There was 1 disabled parking space in the small car park so only 1 disabled car at a time as other parking would not be suitable for a disabled or even people with general mobility issues."

"this is a busy restaurant with great ambiente. I guess eating is decent. unfortunately the service was bad during our visit. eating came irregularly two of our party received their meals almost 10 minutes before the others and eating was cold. the personal reacted after a complaining and the management offered a discount and an apology. unfortunately, the evening was spoiled until today. a shame. but I will give this to my next visit to belfast a great lie."

"needed somewhere to have a Sunday Lunch as we were holidaying locally and called by on the off chance they could accommodate three adults, child and a dog. There was a sign to say 'sorry fully booked ' however upon asking is there a long shot for a table, they kindly offered us a table in the bar which was perfectly out of the way and roomy. Attentive service and a great community atmosphere, the food was excellent. Thank you team Badger Hounds!"

"I visited for the sunset sessions on Sunday and had a fantastic experience with the tapas food. The service was good, and the music was enjoyable. My only complaint is that food service ended at 3:30 PM; I really wish it went on later. There were plenty of customers asking for food after that time, so it seems like a missed opportunity for them to generate more revenue. Despite this, I had a great time and will definitely be back on another Sunday."

"Went to Gatsby yesterday totally expecting to be turned away with the ‘eat out to help out’ deal on. Someone came to see us at the door and told us we could have a table straight away, just had to leave our pushchairs near the front where there was space which isn’t a problem. Brought us over a highchair prompt for the baby. Ordered at the bar and waited about half an hour for food. Came to £16.60 for 2 kids meals 1 with ice cream and fruit shoot, 2 adult meals and 2 large cokes with the 50% off. The kids meals were beautiful. Home made chips, pizza was clearly home made and was delicious, chicken nuggets were proper chicken very nice. I had lasagne which came with garlic bread and chips but am greedy so ordered onion rings aswell all was lovely. Partner had the pepperoni pizza which was really nice too. Decent size portions and really nice food. Forgot to take photos unfortunately Also just wanted to add how friendly and welcoming the member of staff was who dealt with us."
