  “Went to the morning cloud pop up and a member of staff helped carry my drink up the road because they ran out of cup holders! 10/10 service and the drinks were equally as fantastic.”

  “TLDR: waited nearly 45 minutes for overpriced watery matcha, would not return 👍 I’ve been seeing TikToks about the Morning Cloud pop up at cog and wheel for months now, saving them and sending them to friends, itching to go to one of their “Beats n Buns” events with scran on the tyne. I LOVE matcha, I LOVE cinnamon rolls, and I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks!! We arrived at 11.40 and they’d ran out of cinnamon rolls - sad but understandable, just get here early if you want one. We got a little pastry donut muffin thing instead that was still really nice! Nothing but good things to say about scran on the tyne, just wish they had more stock. The matcha though…. Oof. We were told there would be a 15 minute wait, which again, is understandable, so we ordered and waited. Good matcha always takes a little longer than your standard iced drink. Cut to 40 minutes later (Forty!!!!! Minutes!!!!! For 2 drinks!!!!!) and a woman comes out with 3 drinks for us - it’s the wrong order, lmao. Turns out there were two of our order numbers for some reason. Another few minutes later and our drinks finally arrive, and I really thought that they’d be worth the wait at £6.95 each, but that was one of the most disappointing matchas I’ve ever had. I’m not even a real matcha snob, like I can enjoy the cheap stuff, but this was so weak and watery and just tasted like syrupy milk (or in my friends case, “cinnamon water”). To be fair, the syrup in mine was nice, but that’s about as generous I can be. I think waiting that amount of time for an item of such disappointment quality is just insane. They were fairly busy but no more than a typical cafe on a sunny Saturday morning, so idk. Would not bother, would not recommend!”

  “Nice pub with friendly staff. The beer garden gets a lot of sun, although there are parasols if it gets too toasty. I didn't try the food, just a drink while I waited to check in to my room upstairs, but lounging in the garden was a thoroughly pleasant experience.”

  “I come here quite often and it’s easily one of my favourite places. Had the chicken roast on this visit and it was excellent – really well cooked, generous portions and full of flavour. Everything on the plate was spot on, and it’s exactly what you want from a proper roast. Finished with the sticky toffee pudding, which was rich, indulgent and really lovely. Dom in the kitchen did a great job, and all the staff are consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. The prices are better than reasonable for the quality and portion size. Always a reliable place for a really good meal.”

  “Went for bottomless brunch about a week ago and was not worth the £35 we paid. Cocktails tasted like premixed stuff and the options were limited. Food was terrible and also limited options once again. I got the chicken waffle and it was burnt. Bacon on top was black underneath, the waffle was like a toaster one and was so overcooked and hard then smothered in golden syrup. My partner got a chicken burger and it was just bang average. For a 2 hour bottomless brunch we only stayed for an hour and that was because it took the bloke who worked there 10 minutes to bring menus after being seated, then took another 10/15 minutes after to order food, then good took about 20 minutes to make. In that time we had 3 drinks each. 2 cocktails, 2 house lager and 2 vodka cokes. Honestly not worth the money. Won’t be returning”

  “Nice roast, a shame the Yorkshires were all so burnt! But a good veggie option and lots of gravy. Staff were nice but did feel like we were bothering them whenever we asked for the bill/drinks etc. reasonably priced and a good atmosphere!”

  “Classic Cog & Wheel was absolutely filling and tasty for the price of £9.50. I will definitely get this again if I come back. Dead man's Daiquiri was also a refreshing fruity drink (£8.30)to complement the meal. My friend ordered Fish & Chips, I took a small bite and found it flavourful unlike most places. So I highly recommend this place as it is a real value for money.”

  “What a fantastic little venue off the main road. Has a fantastic vibe and a great decor. Staff are super friendly and accommodating to your every need. Good selection of drinks from beers to cocktail to spirits. And the menu is quite cool with some great options regular stuff you would see elsewhere as well as their own specialities, food tasted great and can recommend the chips with the cog dust.”
