I searched for this nostalgic restaurant on Google and decided to try it with my husband during our trip to Newcastle. We visited in the morning and found that there weren't many guests in the restaurant. The space and seating were ample. We each ordered an English breakfast. The toasted bread and butter were delicious, and the bread wasn't too dry. Every item in the English breakfast was of high quality, generously portioned, and satisfying. I ordered Earl Grey tea, which had a fragrant taste that I really enjoyed. There were some cakes, ice cream, and desserts displayed near the counter, but I was too full after breakfast and didn't have a chance to try them. The overall decor of the restaurant had a nostalgic feel, maintaining its old-fashioned charm. Classic music played in the background, creating a lovely atmosphere. The only downside was that the attitude of all the waitstaff was very serious and unfriendly, without any smiles. It made me feel a bit intimidated when I first arrived.

Food always lovely and a decent price too. Staff are friendly and good atmosphere (1950s -60s music playing)Would recommend this place. Ice creams look nice and a good range of vegetarian options.

I love Mark Toney's and have been going since I was a kid. I have been following the same tradition with my kids and they love the Sunday's as well.

Decided to give Mark Toney another chance after having a bad experience but I don't think I will again.The tables and menu were dirty and a lot of the ingredients for the menu weren't in stock so most of the sundaes couldn't be made.I used to enjoy this ice cream parlor but now the ice cream tastes vile, I couldn't actually finish my sundae because of how bad it tasted. Mark Toney ice cream had a delicious flavour, and after not going for a few years I can see now it's nothing like it used to be. Unfortunately after many years of going here I don't think I can come back anymore unless they bring back the old ice cream.I thought maybe I just had a bad batch but I tried it again and yes without a doubt the recipe has changed, I don't know when they changed it but for those of us who came a few years ago it's a very significant change it's horribly cheap and nasty now.This goes for the all the sundaes, sauce and toppings were also horrendous.Such a shame because this was an iconic place in Newcastle and holds good memories and now you can get better ice cream else where. Yes, even from the shop I'm afraid to say. It's very sad and I hope that they can listen to feedback and improve.

Ordered omelette and chip. The omelette was like two fried eggs lightly beaten. So over cooked it was like rubber. The chips were soggy. There seemed to be an atmosphere between the staff, no communication and seemed like the front staff were ignoring the girl who was cleaning the tables. No please or thank you to customers. The decor was tired and the toilets need a refitting. As you can tell I will not be returning

Never again don't eat meat, so opted for scampi and chips, had no scampi so went for fish n chips no fish, fair enough not a big deal so I opted for double egg and chips. Cam to the table with sausage egg and chips, not only did it have meat on it it was one egg that was well overcooked inside some kind of ring to make it look better which it failed to do. No yoak to dip the chips. I even left the chips as they were covered in oil so was the plate. I'm used to greasy spoons but this was my worst experience to date as a non meat eater...
