Won a competition for free meal for 2, thanks again for picking my name.
Staff are nice and friendly, waiting time on the food was quick and food was really nice I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.
Went in by chance for some food and was absolutely blown away with how lovely the food was. Would definitely recommend �
Visiting our relatives in Newcastle and we had a great meal at The Red Kite tonight. Lovely place, yummy fresh food and friendly staff. Great service, many thanks.
We booked the afternoon tea (£25 for 2 people; you have to book and can't just order it when you arrive) and chose the hot selection. When we turned up we were seated straight away and the food - huge, beautifully presented, amounts of it - arrived a few minutes later. They have really thought about what people would enjoy, and added some unusual touches such as the little bottles of milk shake. All of it was delicious.
Went for a meal with daughter sister and niece on way to arena last night we had steak special it was beautiful and well worth money, staff were friendly and pub was lovely and clean will be returning
Ate outside after a lovely walk along the river. Lovely food and very dog friendly -the waitress brought a clean water bowl out to our table without being asked .
Very nice, good portions and reasonably priced. Puds very good to. Staff friendly.
I would recommend it.
I've passed the Red Kite so many times and always wanted to explore! It looks such a delightful traditional road hotel/pub and always seems so welcoming!
I was really hoping for a pint of delicious Red Kite but sadly they cannot sell that but perhaps I can persuade Heineken to let them stock it for my next visit!
I had the Wainwright I think , which was tasty, and I ordered a steak pie with mushy peas and chips. I had a super view over their nice outside garden at the rear and to Derwenthaugh Woods and the Red Kites' sky. The dinner was indeed lovely and because I'd been so impressed I had a Pudding, hot chocolate brownie with chocolate ice cream. Mmmmmmm!
Waitresses and all staff very attentive, friendly and helpful and nice clientele!
I'm sure you will be well impressed as I was!
(Oh toilets good too and child friendly pub!)
Stopped in for a bite to eat and drink after a walk along the Derwent. Good food and great service and I was only sitting in the beer garden.

Went for lunch and got some great sandwiches! Staff were really kind and the atmosphere was chilled. Lots of toys in the corner for kids to play with.
The food took a second to come out, but was worth it.
The Red Kite has been taken over, and the new occupants are fantastic.
It used to be you waited ages for service but not anymore, very attentive staff, menu, drinks, order, food delivered, dessert, exceptional.
Loved the Sunday lunch.
Definitely be back again
Called in for a light lunch. Soup 🍲 and a sandwich 🥪 £8.00. Excellent food and great value for money. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back again.
Excellent dog friendly pub with amazing pies. I was a little disappointed the Chicken Balti pie wasn’t available so went for the Chicken, Ham & Leek pie instead. Probably means I’ll have to go back again 😀
The pies do take 30 minutes to cook, which we didn’t mind, but it’s good to know that ahead of visiting if you are in a rush. They’re worth the wait!
Came to this lovely friendly pub for Sunday lunch. We weren't disappointed, the food was lovely, the staff were very friendly and the pub has a great atmosphere. It's also dog friendly which is a bonus. There's a great big beer garden at the back, lovely to sit out with a drink in the sun. Will definitely be back.
On behalf of all the parents of St Joseph's Highfield I would like to say a massive Thank you for accommodating us on year six leavers. You have gone above and beyond for us and the children and hospitality has been great. service and food fantastic.
Lewis was our waiter for the day who was absolutely delightful
We had super the day which was a root vegetable for three of us and a side of potato skins and a homemade pate to die for
Definitely will be back definitely recommend and begrudgingly leaving this as it'll probably be a lot busier next time! 🤣🤣
(Update aug 2022) Devastated- it changed hands in April and no longer the amazing menu by previous owners.
As many other have pointed out, it's now just typical pub food and nothing like menu was before 😢
The only two items now that was remotely from the previous owners was the goats cheese and the prawns. Admittedly both were DELICIOUS, and I'd have again, but limited options not rushed to come back.
Staff still amazing, and the decore etc is still really tastefull, classy and lovely. Just menu range is disappointing.
Original review Feb 2022: Lovely decor, interior, ambiance, space, view and most of all an amazing menu with really pleasant simple well prepared dishes ! 5*
First visit and won't be the last. Amazing food, best meal I've had in a while. Great service in a beautiful place.
Ok been here tonight for the 1st time with the new owners. Great service, lovely staff and atmosphere. Bought tickets for the charity night at end of July going to be great night. Ps Harper your hair doesn’t need brushing it looks great🤣
Nice place, good feel to it. Be great to bring kids to in the summer, the outdoor area looks really good and open straight onto the Derwent walk. I got the cheese and bacon topped potato skins and they were awesome, definitely recommend.
Nice place. New owners and menu. Staff were friendly and helpful and food was outstanding. Will definitely go back.
Stumbled upon this lovely pub after a long walk, very much in need of a drink and food.
We ordered the Sunday carvery and honestly couldn’t fault it. Amazing food and the staff were all lovely.
Amazing desserts too!
Highly recommend.
Cool pub we stoped at on our derwent walk.The food and customer service was awesome! Nicola the manager was rocking it and ran a tight ship.
