Whickham Restaurants

Brilliant night, good food and wine and the pace of service was perfect!

21 is a real gem of a restaurant. The food is fabulous and there's a lovely atmosphere. Although it was busy, the noise from other diners was not intrusive and there were plenty of staff to ensure you were well looked after. On that note, the staff are an absolute credit to the restaurant; friendly, chatty and smiley, whilst still being professional. They were attentive, without being intrusive, which is a real skill to master. Every member of staff from front of house reception, waiting staff, sommelier and bar staff, helped to make our visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Not sure why I haven't been here before, perhaps I thought it might be a little too formal but that's my mistake as it's not in the slightest bit stuffy, quite the opposite. I may have lost out on a wonderful place and some fantastic food over the years because of a misconception, but I plan on rectifying that error by going back as often as I can from now on.

Lovely food, excellent customer service and great atmosphere! We came here for my nephews 21st and had the best night. Thank you for being so welcoming and bringing out the birthday dessert at the end of the night. Made everything just perfect 😊

I hate it when restaurants put a discretionary service charge on. I pay it but would tip anyway if the food and service are value for money.And a further point is the Employer should be paying decent salaries without staff having to rely on tips for their living.

Second time at this restaurant, both times have been very enjoyable. Lovely ambience, all staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food is delicious with perfect amount of time left between courses so you can enjoy the evening without feeling rushed. Highly recommended
