A rather lovely and unexpected find we stumbled over whilst travelling from Newcastle on the A69. We enjoyed a superb meal from a large menu. Friendly and helpful staff, good value for money and clean as a whistle. Very pleasant and comfortable surroundings.

Another brilliant meal at Winships, beautiful calamari, mussels, and pasta. Brilliant service from Jack also. Lost count of the great meals we've had here now! Couldn't recommend enough.

A charming, friendly spot in Ovington with a cosy atmosphere. Delicious homemade food, from fresh pasta to stone-baked pizzas, and warm, attentive service. What also adds character is the quirky setting: part restaurant, part micro-bar, part antiques gallery, giving the place an informal, friendly vibe where you’re encouraged to relax. If you’re looking for hearty, well-cooked food in a friendly, relaxed environment in the Tyne Valley, this is very much worth a visit.Great value, generous portions, and a lovely place to relax and enjoy local hospitality.

Regulars at Winships but just got round to writing a review. Really great place for food, just a beer or take away. A summers evening on the patio is always busy. Ken always makes sure everyone is well looked after. Give it a go…

Eat here quite often, but overdue first review. Excellent food and service. Calamari the best I've had, mussels terrific, sea bass and schnitzel also brilliant. Service great too. Thanks Jack and Ken

Often call in for a drink or two. Ken and his team are very welcoming. Nice terrace area to sit with a drink and watch villiage life go by. Complimentary Nibbles on the bar. Food is very good and take away service available. Would recommend the deli pizza
