Discover delicious, traditional pub food at Gunner, North Shields

We all have those days when lunch can't come soon enough. Maybe we've had a busier morning than usual, or maybe you were in a rush this morning and didn't manage to make breakfast and your tummy is rumbling by 11am, perhaps you're expecting to have an action-packed afternoon. Whatever the case may be, the food you eat for lunch keeps those midday hunger pangs at bay and recharges you for the afternoon ahead.

With that said, food is much more than simply fuel. It's what turns a good catch-up with friends or a working lunch into a great one. It's something that brings us together in shared enjoyment. Food has the potential to brighten our day, put us in a great mood, and set us up for whatever we're getting up to.

Whether you're taking a well-deserved break and settling in with some premium pub food, catching up with friends and family, or popping in by yourself, join us for a quick chicken salad for a convenient, healthy lunch, tasty lunch sandwiches and lunch wraps brimming with fillings, or something more substantial with delicious sides and tasty puddings. Plenty of our Greene King pubs are family-friendly, dog-friendly, and provide facilities for disabled guests, so you can be sure that everyone will enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere when they visit us for lunch.

Fuel your afternoon with hearty pub food

The early afternoon can be a minefield of rumbling tummies, rising hanger, sad sandwiches and flagging energy levels. Perhaps you're carrying a heavy load after a spot of high street shopping in town, trying your best to corral the kids after a morning out, or counting down the minutes of your last morning meeting? Avoid the lunchtime struggle and get yourself down to your nearest Greene King pub for some great pub food – it's an easygoing choice for any day of the week.

Our pub lunch menus are the perfect recipe for your cravings

Lunch doesn't need to be complicated. In fact, we think that lunch is always best when you keep things classic and simple. Our outstanding pub grub and the special surroundings of our welcoming pub restaurants are one of life's simple pleasures. Take your pick from our lighter bites, or go all-in and order up a plate of comforting pub classics like our fish & chips.

Don't forget that we have loads of deals throughout the week, so you can save yourself some money while you treat yourself to something tasty. And what goes perfectly with a generously portioned pub lunch? Our range of refreshing drinks, of course! Whatever you're in the mood for, we have just the tipple to quench your thirst. Choose from a pint of craft ale, cocktails, wines and delicious soft drinks, including an impressive range of non-alcoholic beers and more.

Enjoy a relaxed pub meal with friends

We all need some downtime. These days it can feel more challenging than ever to make time for good times, so we've made it as simple as possible for our guests to enjoy some quality time with their nearest and dearest. And although it’s nice to celebrate good times, lunch at the pub doesn’t have to be a momentous occasion to catch-up – it can be as low-key as you like!

Salads, sandwiches, steaks and sport

Our pub teams love sports, and we know you do too, so that's why we've made sure plenty of our pubs are fully equipped to give you the best live sport experience at lunchtime, with all the atmosphere and excitement you could possibly want. Lots of our pubs have Sky Sports and TNT Sports streaming all the best competitions live on our big screens – just some of the reasons to watch sport in the pub! What’s more, if it’s sunny, we’ve got some of the best beer gardens going. So, when you head for lunch, make sure it's one of our pubs.

Treat yourself to outstanding pub dishes

Life can get busy sometimes, and striking a balance between time for work and other responsibilities, and making time for relaxation and family can be tricky. Our pubs are convenient, great value for money, and above all, warm and welcoming – the ideal way to fit in some quality time, even when your schedule is looking full. Plus, payday or not, we all deserve a treat here and there!  What better way to do it than with a juicy burger with a choice of different toppings for lunch at a pub near you?

The royalty of the lunch world: Sunday lunch

We couldn’t talk about lunch without mentioning the ultimate lunch: a Sunday roast . It's one of the most popular pub meals, and something that plenty of us look forward to throughout the week. Some like beef, others chicken. Some prefer turkey and others love a thick cut of pork or gammon. Whatever your Sunday lunch favourite happens to be, you really can't go wrong when you join us at Greene King for a roast. Vegans, veggies, and people who love big flavours without the gluten won't be left out in the cold either! You can find all the nutrition, allergen and ingredient info you need to suit your dietary requirements here.
