The Nine Pins Saltwell - Whickham

Sunday lunch yesterday was absolutely delicious. I had pork and hubby had chicken.piping hot full of flavour definitely be back

Lovely pub and lovely owners. However on 2 occasions i have gone, they have shut early. On Friday just gone, me and some friends arrived at 930pm intending to stay for a couple of hours, all of the chairs were stacked up on the tables, no draft drinks were available as the pumps has been cleaned. I asked if they were shutting, to which i was told yes as i had been quiet?!?! What about the remaining 1.5 hours or so? I really want this business to survive but sadly, lots of customers like me, wont return as i dont want to chance it being shut.

Was looking for somewhere different to try for Sunday Lunch for a change ,my brother said his friend said the Sunday lunches are fabulous....so we booked 9 of us in for Fathers day at 1230pm ..very pleasent friendly staff greeted us showed us seat,quick at taking drinks. We had Chicken dinners,a lamb,beef,childrens portions for the younger 1s.Very quick at bringing them out,huge yorkshire,LOADS of meat,lovely thick gravy,seperate veg. Asked for extra gravy boats,mint sauce again very plesant,very quick.Lots of staff,very busy which is a good point. Food was beautiful,plenty of everything,we couldnt finish our plates so we took some home for the dogs. We paid £10.95 for sunday lunch,£1 extra for lamb,childrens £5:95 . Would i book again Yes definatly recommend. 1 part is doggy friendly too.

Wasn't sure what to expect as under fairly new management. Had Sunday dinner and it far exceeded my expectations. Completely home-made and you could tell it was. Melt in the mouth lamb. Wanted to try a pudding but was so full couldn't even finish my drink. Staff uber friendly and helpful

A wonderful little pub! We visited today during Storm Malik and received a warm welcome. The staff was lovely, the food was fantastic, and they made our dogs feel right at home in the bar area. We will definitely recommend it and will be back! xx
