Wallsend Hall - Gateshead

My friends took me here for lunch and I just loved the elegant ambience; chandeliers ret al. I remember that the post-prandial tea and milk came in on an elegant silver service tray with delightful little teaspoons. As for the rest, I just recall being pleasantly overawed by the surroundings.

If you want a fab wedding venue then PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY unless you are quite happy in using a filthy unprofessional place. The canapés were an embarrassment to our guest they were something similar to what you can buy out of a packet.2 staff to serve full hall from the extortionate bar prices even though there was very very limited choice any well known brands only available from cans or bottles and served warm.Coldest day of year and no heating available through the whole top and bottom floors.Could not believe how dirty tables in bar were on arrival and the FILTHY TOILETS were absolutely disgusting no toilet roll and floors soaking wet.Itvis obvious owners have got no interest whatsoever once they have your money definitely needs new people to take over who want to offer fabulous days ONE GOOD THING TO MENTION IS THE WEDDING COORDINATOR WAS FAB but obviously all the building and managing of place is out of her control Nicky think she was called) hiring the use of a working man's social club for your venue would be 100% better than this place we have tried emailing manager several times but doesn't have the decency to reply . wedding day was only made special because of guests . As the bride's mother I actually feel embarrassed having the guests experiencing being in such a dirty venue The place is not a cheap option so PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED FROM THE ADVERTISING PICTURES save your hard earned money and PLEASE PLEASE find somewhere different until owners realise they are failing in what they are trying to offer and let somebody else take over with lots of new ideas to bring to what could be a beautiful building

Went to a wedding at this venue and it was fantastic. There was plenty of space within the venue and the grounds were great lots of space for the children to run around in. The food was tasty and plentiful and the service was good. One slight issue was the fact that the taps in the ladies loos are difficult to turn on and off difficult for children to operate.

If your looking for a warm, clean, well managed venue with good food, then don't book here! new manager/owners have no idea what customer service is.2 bar staff for 110 people Bar service was taking 20 minutes to be served Prices were extortionate We were being rushed to open the food at 19:15 when the party started at 19:00 Food was okay but nothing outstanding The toilets were filthy loads of water on the floor black puddles IF YOU WANT A GOOD PARTY THEN DON'T BOOK I would recommend that you spend your hard earned money elsewhere

Excellent night but only because of family and friends made it excellent. However the service was terrible. We were being rushed to open the food at 19:15 when the party started at 19:00!!! After explaining not everyone had turned up yet the owner tutted and shrugged her shoulders and walked away. She then came after us to rush the first dance and wasn’t happy when we said we were not ready. Our photographer even had to intervene with her. My husband was very annoyed he was unable to relax because she kept looking for us to ask if we were doing everything immediately she accused us of having more people there than we catered for. We didn’t!! She had hardly any bar staff on and she blamed us for having more people there. The toilets were filthy loads of water on the floor black puddles my dress is ruined from the floor. The men’s toilets had no soap and smelt so bad. The beer wasn’t good either. Even though we enjoyed our night and want to remember the good bits it was slightly spoilt because of the service we got on the evening and leading up to she lost our list of food, asked us to prove we paid the balance even though this was bank transferred after they provided the details! Honestly it’s a lovely venue to look at but I wouldn’t recommend it to others!!!
