Raby Arms

We had Sunday lunch for four people and were very pleased with the food quality and quantity and also the attentive service. Our food order came very quickly, which did not give us much time to relax and chat with a pre dinner drink. Next time we would ask them to wait a little while before serving. Our only criticism was the presentation of the food which was not particularly attractive with roast potatoes scattered randomly on the plate and pieces of the meat hidden in different places, buried under veg or mashed potato. It would have looked much more appetising if a little more care had been taken in placing the food on the plates. However, it was still very nice, well cooked and reasonable value. The staff were warm and welcoming and we would recommend it.

Went for the Sunday Roast...had the Beef dinner, it was lovely and very tasty. Got plenty of beef and a extra side of pigs in blankets. The food came out within 10 minutes of ordering... before the drinks even came. Took photos of the duo meat dinner as we went back again a few weeks later. Probably the best Sunday dinner I've had in a long time.

First time in this easy accessible we'll located bistro bar, we have to say that we were made to feel very welcomed, service was A1 and food was excellent. After my wife went to bar to pay the bill, and go to our car, I had to check with the staff to ensure that they had not undercharged. We were informed that the had not. So we left really pleased with them whole experience 🙂 well done

I've been a customer here on and off for a lot of years. Admittedly disappointed some months ago when they took Moretti off and tried to replace it with the pig swill that is Madri (I'd rather punch myself with a strap brick than indulge in drinking this dishwater of a lager) ... However Staropramen is also on offer, and whilst not the nectar or Moretti, it is decent enough. Last night myself and my daughter called for food and the food was excellent and the service outstanding. It was a busy satury night, they found us a table despite this, food was served quickly, price was excellent, and the food was really good. I had pork loin with peppercorn from the special board which had bags of flavour. Chips were superb. My daughter had pizza, which although was bigger than her torso (she is only 7) she had a good go at it and said the pepperoni was top notch. Staff were absolutely lovely ... Even showing my daughter to the female toilets and giving her a hand when she couldn't stop activate one of the taps lol. Highly recommended this place since it's been taken over. Hopefully they stay local focused and don't go the route of many local pubs closing early if quiet etc. If they look after the customer long term then this place is onto a winner! EDIT visit 2 Fish and chip Friday 2 for £20 phenomenal value! Photos added. Fish superb. Batter light and crispy. Chips excellent. EDIT visit 3 (one week later) Fish & Chips Friday special price raised to £24 (20% increase) alongside numerous price rises across the menu. Some specials removed (including the excellent pork loin) and menu starting to look less competitive for lunch. Limited smaller plate lunch menu available. Frustrating to see after a number of recent visits. Food wise fish much thinner and had a slightly odd after taste Chips still excellent. Batter slightly overcooked this time and heavier. No staff asked if the food was ok during this visit even when collected and half was left on the plate.

Very nice they had reserved part of the pub for us to sit in. I was there at the end of a day with my walking club. 🚶‍♂️🥾🥾🎒🎒🧥🧥🧤🧤 The day was fine till about 13.00 when the rain started and stayed for the rest of the day. The staff were very pleasant and helpful the Tyneside Blonde beer was very nice as was the Atlantic Pale. The chips 🍟 weren't too bad either. Thankyou very much to all concerned.
