Went on a weeknight evening with the Mrs and little one after work. I got the steak and onion sandwich. Looked lovely on the photo. When it came the steak was well done one side and rare on the other. Bread was partially toasted so was mainly floppy and soft. The onions were cooked somewhere between raw and ready for the bin. They were slimy and floppy. Then to top it off I actually ended up being sick at about 1am which I can only put down to the disgusting food.Updated 01.04.24 - this place has gone down hill significantly in the last year. Ordered 2 pizzas. Took nearly an hour eventhough the place was dead. Arrived extremely thin and slightly burnt. Even the little one didn't eat hers. Loads not in stock. Guinness, slimline tonic, pulled pork... wedge of lemon!!! Can't even get the basics right.

This was our first visit to the Runhead, tempted by the £5 pizza offer. We weren't disappointed, the pizzas were lovely and amazing value. There is also an excellent selection of beers. We'll definitely be back.

Food was being handled by kitchen staff plating out food. Became aggressive when challenged. Would not recommend eating here.

Absolutely shocking service, we asked for the darts from Sinead (Duty Manager) after the Newcastle match tonight, and refused to give them to us due to 2 customers sitting next to us in the area.However, had she took the time to listen to what I had to say that the gentlemen were actually friends of ours and they also went to the bar and said to Sinead (Duty Manager) “we are about to leave it’s okay for them to play darts”. I then requested the darts, only to be told sternly by Sinead “no, you’ve been told no”.I find this very in appropriate and I was very disappointed with her manner and quite embarrassed as I was with my family and friends.I don’t think there was any need for a response like that, totally out of order.

Went to a band who were very mediocre but the worst thing was the terrible smell from bad drainage emanating from behind the bar it would put me off eating there. The other problem was that the band had to finish early for a boxing match so why put on the band in the first place. This pub is trying to be many things and failing at all. This pub used to be my local but due to 2 unpleasant lazy barmaids gassing and ignoring people waiting to be served I will not go back in there
Went on Saturday with my son, ordered 2 burgers, and asked if we could have chips instead of fries the girl behind the bar told us that was OK. Had a pint of hazy Jane. It cost me £32.20. I asked the guy how much the burgers and drinks were ? On the menu they were £11. I was told we were charged £2 each extra for the chips. (which I wasn't told when ordering)The burger wasn't homemade it was frozen, there was no coleslaw, no side salad. BasicNot impressed.

Went for a special lunch ,my daughter is due to go into hospital and this was just getting together to talk etc ,the main disgraceful was the prawn cocktail !it was on a pudding plate one small whole lettuce leaf and some beige coloured liquid with hard small prawns poured over it !no tomatoes no brown bread instead of a nice rich mayonnaise over plump prawns I got something like cold prawn soup disgusting ,if a chef can’t make a decent prawn cocktail it’s very sad ,and it took ages for our main 40 mins not to be recommended ‼️
