great home cooked food and great atmosphere. friendly helpful staff.
There were 4 of us dining and we all had something different. Everyone agreed the food was lovely. The staff were all really nice and friendly. The place itself looked amazing - the Christmas decorations were lovely. The only reason I didn't give 6 stars is because the service when ordering was really slow.
First time and was excellent. Will go back again. Staff were very helpful and food was lovely. Not to expensive but was very very tasty.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent. Large portions and piping hot. My parents whom were visiting the area enjoyed the bbq pork dish which was tender and very tasty. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to return
poor meal. steak n ale pie had 2 pieces meat. steak tough and dry, chips not very good. presentation not good. nice staff giving prompt service. Food big disappointment
If some thing is not right just let them know straight away they are very helpful there were 9 of us but my son's egg was hard they brought a fresh one with a runny yolk
fast service and lovely home made traditional food especially the chips 😉
local pub, great atmosphere, great quality food and staff friendly.
Meal was really nice. Steaks cooked perfectly. Comfortable and cosy atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. An overall excellent experience. Would recommend the Poachers Cottage as a place to eat.

Food is always amazing in this pub, cannot fault it. Staff are friendly and helpful. Pub has recently been refurbished and looks good! I would advise making a booking because it can get really busy.
Lovely meal lovely waitresses very good with my granddaughters allergies plenty of choice and plenty of space between tables ,overall a really nice restaurant also nice and warm
Large menu with some strange combinations like chicken with bacon and cheese covered in mushroom sauce. Surprised how nice it was ! Chips are like fish and chip shop chips. Friendly and fast service. Decent beer ie Wainwright but not a huge choice.
The food is so delicious here and you get a good choice from the menu. The portion sizes are perfect and the prices are excellent, highly recommend.
Nice atmosphere in the Pub with friendly and obliging staff and the food was fabulous and excellent value for money. This was a return visit and we will definitely be returning again.
Excellent food quick service and they were busy with a large funeral buffet. Good value for money and friendly staff On line booking with Quandoo was easy and efficient.
Another fantastic meal. Welcoming and helpful staff. The food was super and such great portions - we all left feeling full (in a good way)
Another fantastic meal 😀 a great selection of meals and helpful staff. We all agreed that our food was lovely and pleased with the choices we made.
Large portions and steaming hot and very tasty. The only downfall was the length of time for the meals to be served. Good value for money though!
Have eaten there several times. The staff are always very pleasant. The food is well prepared and cooked, not restaurant quality but very good pub food. Will happily return.
Excellent meal and service. Visited with family from Australia and we had a lovely time. Would definitely go back again. May go a little later in the evening as it was very busy at 6pm.
The food was absolutely cooked to perfection. There was 4 of us and we all had something different and everything was really really nice. Staff were fab very helpful and pleasant. Tables were cleared quickly which I personally like . If I had to say 1 negative thing about our visit ....I think the place is ready for an update. All in all though I would definitely go back.
Our second visit here prior to flying from Newcastle airport. Great service and big portions. A mistake with the food order was quickly resolved. We’ll definitely use again before future holidays.
Excellent food as usual. I had the t bone steak from the special board with onion rings, tomato, mushroom, chips and salad, my husband had the 16oz gammon with egg, chips and salad! Absolutely cooked to perfection and super homemade chips!
The staff at the poachers cottage couldn't have been any more friendly or helpful. The service was excellent and the food delicious, my father really enjoyed his first poachers experience
No one showed us to our table had to find it our self's. The heat in restaurant was ridiculous every table people had menus as fans no air con.
No one had time to read the booking request so there was no table put aside for us. Also they send a voucher for £5 off my first dinning experience which was at5ached to an email but they don’t have internet so I couldn’t use it.
The pub was busy even on a Tuesday evening, so that was a good sign. We ordered sirloin steak and scampi, a glass of wine and a beer, very good value at £25. The food was nice and the service was quick and friendly. On the negative side the pub has seen better days and I felt it could do with a deep clean, but it clearly isn’t a concern to your regulars. I would go again.
A hidden gem food is all beautiful and cooked fresh. Portion size is also really genourous would definitely recommend to anyone after delicious pub food
Lovely food, big portions and really friendly staff. Home made chips are the best I've tasted. The Prices are reasonable too. We will definitly be going back again soon.
Been to the poachers cottage lots of times and never been disappointed always have a very good time always give good service and the food is really good keep up the good work.
We travelled to Newcastle and called at poachers Cottage for late lunch. We both had the Liver which was very good along with great service at a reasonable price
Lovely food, but I wish the place was a bit cleaner, and it's not the first time I've had to remove someone else's lipstick marks off my glass prior to drinking from it!
The Poachers is a lovely place and has great food with excellent choice
We had a lovely time service was excellent as was the food first class friendly place staff always polite and helpful we will be back on a regular basis xxx
Excellent food with a good choice of menu. Family friendly and lovely setting.
There was a variety of options and the food was good at the Poachers. However, the restaurant would benefit from a revamp and some TLC.
Very Good homemade food at very reasonable prices, excellent choice on the menu catering for all tastes and appetites. Good choice of drinks including tea and coffee as well as alcoholic drinks and soft drinks.
Had trouble finding the pub following the sat nav. Had a good choice of food from light bites to a main course if you wanted
Always excellent with a good variety of drinks and food menu at great value prices.
exellent friendly service food is great and not badly priced family of 3 can eat for £36.00 starter main and pud great hot food stakes are brilliant
Got the rump steak which was lovely, homemade chips and a large dianne sauce, the meal was great. Fast service too with friendly , helpful staff
Homely atmosphere, lovely food & excellent service. My only recommendation would be a fresh fruit option for dessert on the children’s menu. Worth the drive.
Food is lovely here, there is plenty to choose from and the service is very good this is a lovely place for family meals out and caters for everyone.
Food was very good plenty of choice on the menu and specials board Staff were very friendly and the service was good and everything was very clean and tidy the only thing was the toilets were very cold but facilities were adequate.
Food and service both fab, made to feel really welcome. Atmosphere was lovely, quite full but looked after well. Food served quite quickly. Lovely time.
