The Black Horse - North Tyneside

My twin brother Stephen and I were in Newcastle for a week's holiday, one of the days we decided to jump the tram line to Whitley Bay and visit some of the great little places along the tram route,this is what brough us to Monkseaton, one of the first pubs we visited was The Black Horse Pub. This is a superb pub ,multi roomed, an island style serving bar, pubby decor and furnishings, tv's and big screens to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside in their beer garden, a very good pub indeed. We were here on a Wednesday late afternoon, a friendly young bar person greeted us warmly, we ordered Strongbow dark fruit cider at the bar ,these were served iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back, chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. My cider was really good, a crisp, effervescent cider that on a really hot afternoon a totally refreshing brew, it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying an iced cold cider sat with my twinny. We really enjoyed our ciders in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting for a first time visit to The Black Horse Pub we were totally impressed. The Black Horse Pub is easy to locate along Front Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Thursday, Midday till 11pm. Friday &Saturday, Midday till Midnight. Sunday, Midday till 11pm. A great pub ,one I highly recommend you visit if you're in the area ,its only a few minutes walk from Monkseaton Metro Station.

The Black Horse in Monkseaton is a really good pub that offers a fantastic range of food and drinks and is located in an area where there are some excellent pubs and craft beer bars. Located on Front street and a five minute walk from the Monkseaton metro stop this superb pub has a traditional multi-roomed interior with excellent seating options and a fantastic outside seating area. We had been in Whitley Bay allday and on our way back to Newcastle we decided to jump off at Monkseaton metro stop to visit a few of the pubs around here. We had been to the Front Street Tap Room an excellent micro-pub and from there we made our way over to the Black Horse. You know when you walk into a decent pub and we new right away that we would like it here as there was a great atmosphere and the pub itself was a joy to visit as it was well maintained and spotlessly clean. When we where here we had a few glasses of Strongebow brewery fruit ciders a really refreshing cider which was well served and well priced. The Black Horse is a great pub to visit and is very easy to find from Monkseaton metro stop walk along Norham road and turn left onto Front street.(This is my first review of the Black Horse). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-12.00-23.00. Friday-Saturday-12.00-00.00. Sunday-12.00-23.00. Nearest Bus Stop. Front Street bus stop. Nearest Metro Stop. Monkseaton metro stop.

We visited this pub on Sunday evening unfortunately we came just before closing but enjoyed our half hour in here , my husband was looking forward to his pint of Rahtas enjoyed it so much , will make sure we get in earlier next time

I recently had Sunday lunch at this restaurant and unfortunately had a few issues. First, I was informed that I couldn't pay by card, so I had to go to the ATM across the street to get cash. The ATM was broken, but luckily I was able to get cash back at a nearby shop. While waiting for our meal, we noticed a lot of people leaving food on their plates. When our food arrived, it looked appetizing, but the mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were cold. The vegetables were cooked nicely, but they were smothered in a thick gravy that was unpleasantly thick. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience and don't plan on returning for Sunday lunch.

Been to the Black Horse many times under previous owners but this was a first visit under the new owners. On arrival at 2.00pm was just two tables left which is always a good sign and plumped for the large table near the bay window. What struck me was the number of staff on duty and the warm welcome we recieved. The waitress informed us that it was cash only today which was not a problem for me but for any others there is a cash point across the raod at Spa. Our four drinks were very reasonably priced including my Moretti which was a good start. There were three or four starters of which we plumped for the Potatoes skins. Foer mains there were four choices on the menu beef, chicken, pork and lamb shank which my daughter had. The Yorkshiers were huge and done to perfection accompanied by roast potatoes, mash, cauliflower, turnip swede and sprouts and plenty of it. The starters were very reasonably priced and the mains just over £8.00. For those brave enough to finish there meal there is a sweets cabinet with lots of choice which looked delightful. Sadly all four of us were to full. All in all a very friendly and enjoyable experience so please give it a try.
