A delightful blend of creamy ice cream topped with rich chocolate sauce, crunchy nuts, and a cherry on top. Perfect indulgence!

"quality of marketing for food delivery. drive to north of rustest, direction docks, they will see a series of humble hangars. go through the door of the next, the powder magazine and prepare to be woven. it has a lounge feeling, with enhanced brightness and generous support of comfortable seating. there is a hip-touch to its mix of old and new inner-queues. service is professional, precise and perceptible. eating is exciting, an excellent mix of traditional and modern cuisine that influenced British culture. the food proportions are enormous and the price is perfect. powder magazine is a place to relax and socialize at the weekend, more than a full culinary experience. So they come and take a friend or 3, take a few menus, enjoy."

"Lovely restaurant overlooking the bar, nice outside seating if weather permits. Service was friendly and attentive. Had mussels with sea vegetables to start which was good but very salty, maybe soak the sea vegetables to expel some salt. Monkfish was excellent and cooked, seasoned perfectly. No room for dessert so ordered a macchiato coffee but received a cappuccino. Good wine list and reasonably priced, **** Mary could have been better as it lacked spice and served with too much ice making it watery."

"Unfortunately the Sunday menu has shrunk yet again only choice of beef or pork now if wanting a roast lunch, Food arrived in a timely manner but lukewarm. Terrible issue with flies not enjoyable having to keep swatting them away from Food and drinks. Service charge added to bill ...why , it should be customers choice to tip, not to be made to feel uncomfortable if you don't Want to. Tipping used to be because it was poorly paid, minimum wage changed that, I did ask if the servers got the tip and they do and the server said they work hard so deserve it, ummm they are being paid to work hard. Seems to have had a big change of staff, unfortunately put of going again."

"I remember this place fondly as a favorite haunt, and it still holds a special place in my heart. However, I was disappointed to see that the beautiful mural on the wall had been painted over, replaced by a simple bird. The addition of a new walled garden at the front of the pub creates a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately, the recent storms have left the site in need of some repair. The prices were reasonable, and the staff were exceptionally polite and friendly, going above and beyond. It was a shame that the outdoor heating was not working during our visit, as it made for a chilly experience. Despite these minor issues, the company I was with made up for any inconveniences. It's been a while since I last visited and socialized here, and the cost of a quick pint was a bit of a shock to the wallet."

"Bowled over yet again. This pub has had some significant renovation/improvement of its dining area since our last visit, but has lost none of its atmosphere, charm or the personal service for which we enjoy it."

"Sometimes if I am shopping in Newcastle or meeting a friend I want somewhere to go for lunch that is quick and easy. Marco Polo is an italian restaurant which fits the bill.The interior is modern and not done out in the traditional style of many italian places. I think maybe they are trying to attract the business side of the market rather than families.If you go at lunchtime the place always seems to be busy although they do have more seating upstairs. Partly this may be because they do a business lunch special which comes in at under for either soup or garlic bread and pizza or pasta. Often it is cheaper to go for this choice than to buy a pasta or pizza on its own although there are a couple of restrictions of dishes that aren't included in the deal.Staff are friendly and helpful and the place is great for a quick bite at lunchtime for a bargain price!"

"I made a reservation for a table of 7 at 7pm online. I received immediate confirmation online as well as an email to confirm our booking. However, when we arrived, the staff mentioned that they had no record of the reservation. Despite the restaurant only being half full, they were able to accommodate us. We had chosen this venue primarily for their Sunday roast, which we heard good things about and is served until 9pm. Unfortunately, when we sat down, we were informed that they had run out of Yorkshire puddings. Shortly after, they took away the Sunday menu and said it was no longer available, but we could still order from the regular menu. When my mother-in-law asked if she could swap chips for mashed potatoes with her pie, she was told that the mashed potatoes were already designated for other dishes. At this point, we decided to leave. The staff did make an effort and seemed understanding, but appeared annoyed when we left since they had already started on a few drinks. The restaurant appeared nice and had a good atmosphere, but the menu was on the pricier side. Other diners were also heard complaining about long wait times even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. Overall, we were extremely disappointed with the entire experience."

"Cafe Pacifo is a perfect place to go with friends who are used to seeing you pig out! The food is tasty and plentiful! Expect a massive portion...that you WILL EAT ENTIRELY. My group of 6 waited for under ten minutes to be seated, and we received excellent attention from our waitress. She took our drink order and recommended we do the margarita jug rather than individuals. The jug is perfect for a big group, and we ended up doing two rounds. For my meal, I had the steak AND chicken fajitas. The chicken was tender, the steak was juicy, so it was a lovely combo! The fajita comes with something like 5 tortillas and loads of fillers-guac, roast peppers and onions, sour cream, rice, beans...you name it! Decor-wise, this is a fun restaurant. Bright colors, boisterous...clearly a great place to go with your friends. And..if you are like me, don't go on a date here as your partner will think you are a massive glutton."

"beautiful restaurant with view of the bar, beautiful outside seats, if the weather allowed. service was friendly and attentive. had to start muddles with sea vegetables, which was good, but very salty, perhaps the meergy pleasure to sell some salt. monkfish was excellent and cooked, seasoned perfectly. no place for dessert so order a Macchiato coffee, but got a cappuccino. good wine list and cheap, **** mary could have been better, as it does not season and served with too much ice makes it watery."

"The staff were friendly at this restaurant. They have a large screen for watching football. The restaurant itself is a bit run down, with old furniture that needs to be upgraded, and could use a fresh coat of paint in several areas. The men's toilets were dirty around 9pm, indicating a need for a thorough cleaning. I didn't dine here, possibly due to the aforementioned issues; it seems more like a pub for drinks, with cheap beer. The outdoor areas are nice. Families with children were present early in the evening and appeared to be content. The price per person ranges from £1-10."

"No record of booking on turning up, therefore no allergy on record. Staff inattentive and largely absent. We were shoved in a corner next to a wall. Forgot my half of the drink order; I asked for coffee and they brought out a cafetiere with just water in it. Food came out well into booking time, items removed (not substituted) because of my allergy even though I flagged it on my booking. Toni was great in checking in after and boxed up what we felt we couldn't eat because we had run out of time. Wasn't sure what to expect price wise because it's not clear on the website but have had much better teas for that cost. It's a shame because we hadn't been before. Is the missed booking because you take from multiple booking sources? A bit disappointing, we probably won't do it again."

"My family hasn’t visited The Hengist for a couple of years and was a little apprehensive in booking a table after reading the reviews. But- we thought we would give it another go. Our table was booked for 6pm, there were a couple of other diners already eating, the atmosphere was pleasant. Our drinks order was taken and these arrived in good time. Cocktails were lovely. We ordered a sharing board of bread, this was delicious. Main course, burgers for the ‘kids’ and husband and I had the lamb with an extra portion of chilli green beans. The food was very good, service was good. Staff all pleasant and professional. Desserts ordered were the brownies, mango sorbet and a vanilla ice cream. All what you would expect. I think if you haven’t visited this restaurant for a while- give it another try. Whilst it’s not a Michelin starred restaurant anymore, it was still a lovely place to get dressed up and enjoy a relaxing evening out."

"My family and I (all 30 of us) had a celebration Sunday lunch today for my Mum’s 80th birthday. We had the most delicious food that was plentiful, served promptly and hot no mean feat when there are 30 hungry mouths to feed. All the staff were friendly, supportive and went over and above to be kind and helpful. A special mention to Alex and Kieran who were patient, supportive and kind when my cousin fell ill. We are all so very grateful for all that they did for us. We would most definitely recommend the G&D Graveley and will be back soon to sample some more of their delicious cuisine. Thank you for everything x Also a shout out goes to Mike (an off duty Police Officer) who is a regular he was outstanding with his offer of support and swift action to help us. Thank you x"

"We had a fabulous meal, we booked for NYE as it advertised a disco, we enjoyed dinner and planned to join the dancing. We ended up staying at our table as it was just too full and actually so rowdy we were put off. The staff were brilliant, and could have done with more help, but they worked so very hard and were conscientious. The toilets, by 11pm were awash, apparently the gents were the same, which wasn’t pleasant. All on all, we had a good time, but could have been better."

"I was so looking forward to this big night out and have to say I was left very dissapointed. On arrival at the door I was handed two flyers for buy one drink get one free. This was at 1925. After struggling to find your restaurant in the darkness I was greeted by a staff member and shown to a large booth. There was a large party on a Christmas night out occupying the length of the room. It took 25 minutes for our drinks to arrive as it seemed to take 5 staff members to serve this table of 30! We were then handed our menu which compared to the online menu was reduced considerably much to our dissapointment. Your website mentions no alterations during December. We chose our food and the starters arrived relatively quickly. After our initial dissapointment at the poor service it was somewhat redeemed by a gift bag containing a Christmas card, sweets and more drinks vouchers. We ordered 3 drinks each (expensive cocktails) pleased with our vouchers that we were only paying for 3 of the 6. On trying to redeem these I was then informed the promtion finished at 1900 note I was at a 1930 dinner reservation!! Not at 2100 as advertised on the vouchers. I was then informed by the surly girl that Tiger Tiger have the right to remove or alter these promotions at any time. Nicely done legal eagle!! Overall. Totally gutted. My nice mother daughter Newcastle trip that we saved so hard for was ruined. Not even a genuine apology from anyone. I wont be back. Oh and your toilets are disgusting!!!"

"This is such a friendly family run hotel/restaurant that it would be very difficult to find fault with it. I never have. Matt is such an innovative chef and he has such a light touch with spices so they are very flavoursome but not overpowering. I had the Sizzling Gambas, Nasi Goreng followed by the Berry Pavlova all of which were to die for. I keep threatening to break in an steal his recipes but I doubt I could do justice to them. I came here with 11 friends, all had different meals, but none of us were disatisfied or disappointed, in fact we had a great time. I would certainly recommend this venue to even the fussiest of people. I will certainly be back for more. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble and Natalie is very accomodating."

"The waffles at this restaurant are absolutely amazing, they are thick and soft and incredibly delicious. They may not look exactly like the photo on the menu, but when I asked to have them topped with the fruit they had that day, it was even better. Maddy, our server, was very friendly and welcoming. I also tried the halloumi avocado burger, which had a thick slice of halloumi inside. It was so filling that I couldn't finish it, so I recommend it if you have a big appetite. A friend also suggested trying the spicy wings, so make sure to give them a try as well."
