“Had 2 course lunch special good value and very tasty, staff very pleasant.”

“Brilliant! Destiny was fantastic, super attentive and personalised our experience. Best bottomless brunch in Newcastle by far! Great job guys, keep it up!”

“Came here for my girlfriend birthday, we both really enjoyed it. I have an allergy and Dan was super helpful and accommodating. The server Rianna was lovely, she made my girlfriend’s birthday very special. Thank you to them . Food was lovely and great price.”

“The Shed never disappoints. It's the best local pub around. Just when I thought you couldn't get better than their burger and perfect chips, their Xmas menu comes out. The lamb shank instantly melted in my mouth and is definitely worth the price!”

“Brilliant George Michael and Wham tribute night. He looks and sounds like him. Great atmosphere”

“Good staff, great food this time around! Our whole party enjoyed the experience! Another visit, same excellent experience. Love coming here! 24 June 2023 Another visit but not so good this time. Below par food from the vegetarian menu with ingredients missing from the salad. Really quiet but the service was also a bit lacklustre. Ordered from the app at the table which is a worrying experience as it often tries to order the mains again when you add food was a little below par. 19 Oct 2024 Another visit with my father in law and although the bar and waiting staff were as excellent as always the standard of the food is dropping rapidly. So few flavoursome filling vegetarian options I reverted to fish and chips again and yet again the fish was overcooked (our last visit had the same problem and when asked by the waitress if it was alright was told by her several had been sent back that lunchtime). Is this a kitchen staffing problem or is the frozen battered fish they use just poor quality?”

“Our first visit here a czhange of location to meet with family, i read some reviews and was happy to change locations. We ordered 6 different meals, we did wait about 40 mins for service to arrive, a bit longer than I would have expected however we weren't disappointed the food arrived hot and was delicious. " i would recomend the pie " but in fairness all my family did enjoyed their choices, the staff were attentive throughout which was pleasing . I asked my family of their thoughts and it was thumbs up to return on our next get together.”

“Absolutly lived this place, al the staff are amazing & friendly, down to earth, I especially got on with Shuv, she is one of the best bar women iv ever met, anything I asked was no problem even though I was specific with my drinks, she made them perfect for me everytime & had a great laugh! & prices are reasonable! Fantastic, thabk you all for accommodating our familys gender reveal party & even our "after party" once the gender reveal had ended, great place!!”

“Lovely food, ordered the Surf and Turf which was amazing and hot. My mum had the Caribbean Jerk Chicken which was equally as nice. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere too. Definitely recommend. Thank you.”

“Daughter recommended this place so took her and my wife. They have a pretty good menu that caters for vegetarians as well, and the food did look very good. My daughter went for the curry platter, this was huge. My wife had the sizzling halloumi with sweet chilli sauce and I had the Barbacoa beef steak; these last two both came on the sizzling platters and they really were sizzling. The food was excellent. Really nicely presented and perfectly cooked. Way beyond my expectations. We also each had a sundae for dessert; salted caramel profiterole with chocolate ice cream, the Cadbury lover with chocolate ice cream and the lemon meringue. All came in large sundae glasses with loads of sauce and cream. Delightful meal, would recommend and will visit again.”

“Cherry Tree Bar & Restaurant is an absolute gem and easily one of Newcastle’s standout spots. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, relaxed atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between stylish and comfortable. The food is exceptionally good value — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or a special occasion. The drinks menu is equally impressive, offering a great selection to suit all tastes. What truly sets Cherry Tree apart, however, is the service. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring you have a great experience without ever being overbearing. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so well looked after from start to finish. If you’re looking for fantastic food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere, Cherry Tree Bar & Restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be returning”

“Katie, our server was fabulous today. We were there for a bottomless brunch and she was amazing and her attention to detail was amazing. Throughly enjoyed our experience and highly recommended.”

“We came for Christmas lunch 13 of us. Staff were excellent they were so postive and nothing was a trouble for them. Food came out quick, portions were massive and it was delicious. We will be back! Our favourite at the moment xx”

“Organised a festive menu party of 23. I & others cannot speak more highly of our satisfaction. One or two discrepancies with pre order but probably caused by ourselves with late changes. All amendments resolved without question & with an obliging smile. Food of the highest quality & service exceptional.. sincere thanks to your staff who were a credit to the hospitality sector. See you all again very soon”

“Everyone was happy with their food, including kids and adult meals with gluten free and vegan options. Even had some live music to add to the fun. Staff lovely and very helpful. Welcomed the dog too!”

“Had the Korean bbq rib, absolutely fantastic, tender and the corn on the cob actually had flavour unlike most places!! We will definitely be having it again next time, we'll done chef Jim!!”

“It's a cool, typical English pub. It's very common to see English older people drinking beer. Good staff, the only minus is that they close early. Large selection of alcoholic beverages, and the prices are the best”

“We both ordered a smothered platter. The steak was exceptional! Generous portions of all 3 meat. The layout/design reminded me more of a home with sofas and large spaces. It was late on a Sunday evening, yet staff was still welcoming and friendly. Perfect start for our holiday en route to the airport.”
