Had a large end of season party for a girls football team, there were around 40 of us. The communication beforehand was brilliant and the person I spoke to was really helpful. We had a large amount of pizzas and chips in a buffet style and they were all amazing as were the staff. Everyone enjoyed it and we?ll definitely be back.

Went for lunch here as my partner fancied the carvery. I myself had seen a photo of this delicious looking burger from the reviews so decided to get one. The burger I got was not the same as the one I had seen. 2 skinny tasteless patties that looked like they'd been stolen out of a rustler burger undercooked bacon with a cheese slice on top and undercooked chips. Took one bite and told the waitress to take it away. The service was good though the refund was sorted straight away as I had declined a replacement meal

Went for an unlimited breakfast bought X2 asked about the breakfast pizza and was told it was being made asked again to be told they had to wait for delivery for ingredients and that she will ask but it should be ready.. we sat waiting over an hour to again be told it won't be long! We waiting over 2 hours awaiting thos breakfast pizza and to have nothing. There wasn't much choice and the hash browns had been over cooked to a heard crumble. Under cooked soggy bacon. Just an overall unpleased and over priced at 19.00 when they ran out off coffee and everyone had to wait or attempt to find staff to get one from the bar.

We came here for breakfast a few weeks ago. I absolutely love the waffles and normally love an astley arms breakfast. However we arrived well before the end of breakfast and us and others were waiting for food for ages. When we got to the counter there was only fried bread, a couple of eggs, some overdone bacon, and tomatoes. We had to ask for sausages, eggs, beans, and waffles. The chef brought things out slowly. Then 30 mins later came out and said the steamer wasn't working so no beans... my mam suggested microwaving them. So then we got beans. Don't understand why the chefs don't pop out every so often to check levels of what's left, and put food in when they're getting low. Such a shame as its on our doorstep.

A long drive from Wallsend for a carvery to find that they only had a small slither of gammon left.Bearing in mind that The Astley Arms built their business on carvery meals it makes me feel sad to think that the current manager doesn't place the correct value on the carvery being functional. It felt a bit like you might feel if you visited pizza hut and they had little or no pizzas on that day.... Or McDonald's and they had no burgers.... I mean, c'mon... what's going on!Does a potential customer need to call ahead to ask if the carvery is fully operational? That is.... Do they have meat?The pub/restaurant looks run down and desperately in need of a refresh..... With few customers and unenthusiastic staff.C'mon Astley..... Catch up!

3 of us called in, given a menu, got our drinks went to order 2 Burger meals 1 carvery, No meals being served only carvery, went for the carvery, a lady already there had been waiting 10 minutes for gravy, we stood for 7 minutes for the chef to serve us. 1st time at the Astley unfortunately it will be the last time. No complaint about the food, it was hot and tasty to be fair.

We had booked a table but had to go to the bar to order. After a 45 minute wait the food arrived. Pizza was pretty much inedible, very thin and tasteless - not 100% or fresh like the sign says. The chips were dry and hard. We will never eat there again, it was shocking.
