"This is a wonderful place to visit with friendly staff and amazing food at affordable prices. You will not be disappointed. However, on a recent visit, I was let down. The same dish I had enjoyed before, the mixed grill, looked different and had a smaller amount of food than before. Some meats were even missing. While the food was nice, I left still feeling hungry."

"I was looking forward to Oli Joe’s because, from the outside, it seemed to promise authentic Italian dining and a perfect place for our celebrations, but unfortunately, the character inside of the restaurant didn’t live up to my expectations at all and the atmosphere was rather flat and uninviting. A lovely, traditional menu without any of the usual surrounding charm you’d expect to go with it. The service and quality of food on offer both deserve to be matched with a bit more of a formal environment, in my opinion. We were able to choose our own table and felt like both the waiter and waitress were very welcoming and attentive. Our party was served quickly, and although some of the flavours lacked compared to other Italian restaurants I’ve tried (the garlic butter with the Pollo Kiev was a bit bland and the garlic mayonnaise tasted devoid of garlic), I was pleased that the effort was there with the presentation, and that the general ingredients were also of a good standard, which made for an enjoyable meal that‘s otherwise only let down by the setting. For a casual visit, it would have ticked most of the boxes— nice staff, decent food the prices aren’t bad — but I found the overall experience to be quite average for a special occasion and wouldn’t recommend it for that type of event, which is a shame because this place isn’t quite doing itself justice."

"Stayed in Beamish Park Hotel across the road 4th -8th August 2022 and after a day at Beamish Museum first day fancied a meal and drink How amazed we were with this place. Super friendly staff making all 4 of us really welcome.The meals were freshly prepared and extremely well presented.Cooked to perfection and served all together so we started and finished as a family.Even the local regular people made us all feel welcome and joined in conversation with us.This place was so good for the next three nights of our stay at the Beamish Park Hotel after a days outing we returned to the Causey Arch Inn to have evening meals and drinks, it was that good, the meals were outstanding and as always we were welcomed to the extent we were nearly classed as locals.I would urge anyone staying at the Beamish Hotel to walk over the road and try this place ,you will not be disappointed, but I believe impressed with everything from the atmosphere, the meals, drinks and local people who are genuine down to earth people who do not judge but welcome you as guests and friends.We are already planning our return and will give our custom to this place.Why go anywhere else when you have such an outstanding atmosphere staff, meals the whole 9 yards.Thank you to everyone for your welcome and service, we will see you again definitely."

"I visited this restaurant again over the weekend and I have to say it serves the best burgers I've ever had. It was a fantastic way to start the weekend! The waitress greeted us warmly and took our drink orders as we settled in before ordering our food. The burger I ordered was made with high quality meat, clearly handcrafted, and absolutely delicious. I will definitely be returning for more! Rating: Food 5, Service 5, Atmosphere 5."

"I had a great time at the hilltop , I was served by a lad named Jack bell , we got talking for a bit and he was very friendly and was willing to tell me the entire menu and what to recommend. He had a very friendly feel about him but was very efficient at his job but also found time to talk to customers regular or not. Even though I only visited the once it made an impact in me because of this outgoing friendly personally and makes me want to come to the hilltop again. Service was brilliant from this staff member and really Made me feel welcome."
