  “Took the kids here during the holidays and couldn’t have been more impressed. The kids’ meal was excellent value, and the sandwiches on the lunch menu were absolutely unreal — fantastic quality and great value for money. A special mention has to go to Jake, who was brilliant from start to finish. He kept the bairns entertained, was incredibly attentive, and constantly made sure that all the food and drinks were spot on. His friendly, attentive and genuinely excellent customer service really made the experience for us. An absolute credit to the place. Fantastic food, great value and outstanding service from Jake. 10/10 — we’ll definitely be back!”

  “Absolutely love this place! It’s hands down the best pizza I have ever eaten, and I’ve tried it in many different places. The staff is super friendly yet very professional. Great atmosphere and excellent coffee. Highly recommended!”

  “Pizza was not bad but service didn't end up the same. At the beginning, we asked for their recommendations and all was fine but food was served too late and even after the tables that arrived after us. Coordination between staff is terrible. We were completely unhappy and left without waiting the desserts order. We paid for it. One employee offered refund for dessert but other didn't come to do the action. So I don't recommend this spot if your nerves are strong as iron.”

  “Had an amazing time at bottomless brunch! The service was fantastic from start to finish, with everyone making sure our drinks were topped up and we had everything we needed. A special mention to Jake, who was on his job trial. He did an amazing job, was really attentive, friendly, and you’d never have guessed he was only on a trial. Also, Fin was funny and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was brilliant, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”

  “We stopped by Oven & Shaker in Newcastle for a quick lunch and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a modern feel that made it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. Fair warning: our order was very cheese-heavy, but everything hit the spot. We started with the classic Neapolitan cheese pizza, which had a beautifully cooked crust and plenty of flavour. The mac and cheese arrived bubbling away in a hot skillet and was exactly the kind of rich, comforting dish you'd want. The halloumi fries were a highlight, especially with the tomato jam, which added a nice sweet and tangy kick. We also ordered a pasta dish that stayed true to the cheese theme and was just as enjoyable. Overall, Oven & Shaker served up great comfort food in a stylish setting, backed by friendly, attentive service. If you're in Newcastle and after a relaxed place with good food and drinks, it's definitely worth checking out.”

  “I've been a few times before, and the service has always been lovely. I had two espresso martinis and a main, all for roughly 30 quid total which is wonderful, I only wish I had arrived just 10 minutes later to get the cocktail deal but alas! Piyush was quick, attentive, funny and friendly! Wish him the best and will be returning!”

  “Today we visited for a chilled Mother’s Day afternoon. Keira was out server, she was polite, attentive and went out of her way to make sure everything was fine throughout our visit. Our food was amazing, we went for a selection of small plates to share ( there was 5 of us) and a couple of pizzas, everything was piping hot and very tasty. We will definitely return again 😊”

  “Short menu but what we ordered was absolutely lovely, my ceaser salad was beautiful. Keira was our server and did a great job of recommending items and answering our questions. Only small mark down was due to an extremely loud Xmas table above playing games and we couldn’t hear each other across the table, which ruined our atmosphere slightly. Would come back again.”
