Love the quirky decor but the service was slow and the toilets were a disgrace! Place looks like it could do with a good clean and wallpaper hanging off walls is not a good look! Felt that food was overpriced too. Sadly won’t be going back.
Amazing food and service. Really consistent in the quality and presentation. Great variety on the menu and very good value for money. We’ve never been disappointed here and keep coming back.
The service was fast and the staff were always attentive. The afternoon tea was delicious and substantial. The cost was very reasonable. Will be coming back again and will recommend to others.
I really love this place - The venue is amazing, great service and the food is brilliant. It ticks every box so I would definitely recommend it!
Lovely meal, beautifully cooked mains and reasonably priced. Sweets were nice too but sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie would have been better served hot. Nice atmosphere and staff very friendly and accommodating. Thanks again - we'll be back!
A disappointing experience, dirty toilets, smelly hall, dry sandwiches, stale cake & scones . Jam served in plastic packets, had to keep asking for a cup of tea/coffee. Serving staff uninterested, only 6 people in the restaurant! we left & went to eat elsewhere.
Food was lovely...... however the service needs to be worked on after arriving having a table already booked we were told we would have to wait to be seated which was fine but the way we were told this wasn’t very welcoming! When mains came out we had no knife and folk we had to ask and waited 5 min to receive them with or mains getting cold....ordered a glass of wine waited 10mins to receive that think she forget! The other staff seamed very friendly maybe the person serving us was having an off day.....
Great food but room was cold Needs more heating Excellent cocktails The shin of beef was extremely good Shame that not everything on the menu was available even though it was only 1830
Lovely service and amazing food. The food is brilliantly priced and delicious. The cocktails were amazing and ok priced. No long waits in-between meals and it was a Saturday afternoon Thank you
Great food, lovely staff and unbelievable views! Nice looks too! Gluten free options available & no problem. Can recommend the leek & potatoe soup and the haddock fish & chips.
Lovely food and drinks. Great view. Very poor service, not for the first time have we been disappointed with the service unfortunately. A real shame.
First time experience and was not disappointed. Food excellent & well presented. Service was less attentive but inderstandable as they were very busy. We will return.
Great value February sale offer 3 courses for 14.95 , enjoyed scotch egg, rump steak and sticky toffee pudding, will definitely make a return visit
Staff were very helpful. They allowed us to move tables in order for us to have a window table. When it came to ordering drinks, they recommended 2 fantastic gin & tonics. Food was excellent value for money
Very friendly waiters and bar staff. Great table with a view, food a bit slow in coming but well worth the wait it was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.
The food is really good and reasonably priced. Very nice Cocktails. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The view is wonderful. We had a lovely evening, Thank you.
Kids loved there tea. Kids drinks could be more themed just a plain glass for kids drinks which took away from overall theme of the tea
Amazing view Food value and tasty food! Early evening menu is a steal Great down to earth service, try to accommodate all requests Love it
Food was great, a good choice of beers, surroundings were very nice, a little noisy due to a party. Would definitely return for another meal.
Excellent as always. Top class food & top class service. Happy to recommend. Definitely should be on your list to pay a visit. You won't be disappointed.
Lively, busy restaurant with a great atmosphere and great food. A good night out. Chocolate brownie for dessert is absolutely delicious. Great views over the river too.
The location was beautiful right above the fishquay and looking out over the river. The roast dinner was too small the portion you received and the meat was overlooked. The fish and chips was nice. However my friend ordered the burger and was told they had ran out only to see half an hour later other people getting burgers. When I questioned the waitress on this she said they had just had a delivery, although it was a Sunday at 5:30! I would recommend for drinks, maybe we just got a bad day for food.
Staff were lovely but did not appreciate being severed dirty and chipped cups and off milk not what I expected after paying nearly £50 unless things improve I won't be back .
Amazing! Lovely food and great service we will definitely be back in the future! Great selection of real ales and the cherry mojito was delicious, good vegetarian Sunday lunch option.
Took my 80th dad there for mad hatters tea ? Service wasn't great we don't like cream on scones staff mumbled when we asked for butter ? Put In area with lovely view but very noisy
Food and service were both excellent. The venue provides wonderful views over the mouth of the Tyne and easy parking away from the crowds who descend on Tynemouth village at weekends.
Excellent food and service. Thanks for your help when our car wouldn't start. My second visit and I will be back again very soon. Joy maxwell
I'd been raving to my family about how fab this place was so decided to take them for afternoon tea . Portion sizes seem to be massively reduced from the last time I was there . Very disappointing today
It was excellent for the young ones, but we had booked as 2 adults and were put in a room full of fancy dressed kids. Not conducive to a relaxing afternoon tea, so we left straight away. In future, it should be made clear that things are children based to avoid this disappointment. Since when have children had "afternoon tea"?
Staff were friendly and attentive, food was very good quality and value and the venue had a fabulous view over the quayside. Background music was not entirely appropriate to the venue or food though. Will definitely be booking again!
Lovely place and good food we got a window seat as asked only thing wrong my partner and son got ample sandwiches I only got 2 small ones
Service was appalling, no menus apart from cocktails which were never offered to purchase, we had to go to the bar to ask for extras that never came, and just take away bags ?! for cakes not boxes?! balloons popping and rowdy children in the next room made it a party atmosphere with loud music but no people ?!>>>> not as I expected and for the price paid ! won't be back
Excellant. I would highly recommend. The staff are brilliant as was the mad hatter afternoon tea. Next time we go, we are definately going to try the cocktails because they sounded good as well.
Spent a lovely afternoon at How Do You Do enjoying their mad hatters afternoon tea for my partners birthday, incredible setting looking over the mouth of the Tyne and the staff were AMAZING! We have already booked to go again next week for another family birthday and cannot wait!! Thank you so much :)
Had a lovely afternoon on what was a cold rainy day , views lovely and the staff very helpful would return again and recommend to others
I was very disappointed with my visit to How Do You Do, the afternoon tea was the worst I've ever had. There was no choice of sandwiches - it was a case of this is what you have and there's no room for manoeuvre, the scones were cold (normally they are a least warmed up), the cakes were all shop bought and weren't very nice, there is no way that it was worth £21 for 2. The customer service was really poor, my friends and I did not enjoy the experience at all and we will not be returning here again.
The afternoon tea was one of the nicest I have had, lovely views of the Tyne and friendly staff. A lovely way to spend an afternoon
Quality off food excellent, friendly waitresses but very poor structure and organisation as well as putting up with a door banging during the entire night there! Two starters not available. Mains came quick which was good.. then proceeded to clear two plates, left the 3rd and never came back! We then left without having a desert and felt disappointed. Shame as it has a lovely setting, good food and some nice staff!! Need to get better organised basically
Had a mad hatters tea party and it was very filling and enjoyable!
This was lovely, not over busy so you could chat without having to raise your voice; quaint and quirky, furniture is a miss match but it looked perfect, the little things make the difference. Staff were all lovely and friendly too. Would have liked a bit more selection on the cakes :)
