Blockhouse at The Sheet Anchor Newcastle Road, Newcastle ST5 5BU

"Great selection of cocktails, wanted something light, so went for the nachos, it was just perfect. My friend ordered the mac and cheese, it was amazing. Lovely staffs. Definitely will be going back for food."

"Lovely settings, clean and very pleasant staff. But service was a little on the slow side at times. Starter was fish fingers which was ok, main half roast chicken with fries which was nice but got bored after a while. Chicken to fries ratio I didn't think was good. Took a good portion of the chicken home. Dessert I had Nutella donuts again was ok. Overall food was ok but not amazing. Do prefer the dishes at the other Paragon restaurants. However I would still recommend this restaurant and I would come again but I'd choose something different."

"We went for my fiancés birthday and when I booked I selected it was for a special occasion/birthday. When we arrived the staff couldn’t of been any more welcoming and as we got to our table we were greeted with a birthday card from the staff which was a lovely touch! The food was drool worthy and we had more than a generous amount. Our server (didn’t catch his name) was lovely and kept popping over to ask if everything was okay, if we needed anything else etc. The place is stunning and there’s such a lovely atmosphere, we will definitely be returning :)"

"Absolutely lovely restaurant. Came here from outside of area to meet a friend for lunch mid way between where we live so had no idea what to expect. Decor was really inviting, warming and well decorated and the food was incredible, so tasty and so much for the money so really good value for money too.. I couldn't fit in dessert this time but already have our next visit planned to go there again where I will make sure i keep room for dessert!"

"This place is brilliant. I was taken aback at the effort they have gone to to give it a real smokehouse vibe. The staff were fantastic. We had a large party sitting down with a 1 year old and they gave us a good space and we're extremely helpful with the baby. The menu has everything you want from a grill place, steak, chicken, burger, ribs, fries.... what more can you want. My wife is vegetarian but there was plenty for her also like a mushroom and halloumi burger. There is a really good choice of burgers on the menu but not too much you don't know what to have! The food itself was cracking. Exactly what we expected. This is a solid choice for any meat eater! Hopefully the photos do it justice!"
