Had a great day at Metrocentre Gateshead — loads of shops, plenty of food spots, and even a cinema and arcade for a bit of fun. Big, clean, and easy to get around. Perfect spot for a relaxed shopping and leisure day out. Definitely worth a visit!

What a brilliant mall, I was shocked how large it was when I went inside and how many brands there are. Really good selection, excellent place to shop. Parking was especially easy and I liked the colour coding. However we found it hard to find toilets, signed posts were not clear and we walked a long time just trying to find it. Needs much clearer sign posts.

Travelled down from alnwick whilst on holiday, had two bored teens and a rainy day to try and entertain. Really easy to get to but we hadn't really taken into account the sheer size of this place. Totally overwhelmed, plus side it's free parking, we arrived at 11.30 and left after 4pm as we were totally shopped out. My hubby and I managed to see 3/4 of it before we opted out. The highlight was The Acropolis restaurant where we had a really tasty meal, that alone was worth the drive!

Very lovely meal. It’s got everything you need. Good food. Great views. Lovely stores. 🥰

Visited Flannels in the metro centre this morning. I wanted Dior cosmetics and had a facial with Amelia. It was an amazing experience, even was given a glass of champagne. My husband was given a latte. Even he enjoyed it and came away with a sample of aftershave, so he was happy. He bought my Christmas present. Amelia was totally amazing. She is totally the best Dior lady I have ever been served by. So much so, I'll be making sure I get served by her again. She's friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. She gave me makeup tips. I used to live down in Plymouth, and I can honestly say in the many years I've been buying Dior, I've never had such great customer service. Thank you Amelia. Dior dont ever let her go!

Still one of the best shopping destinations in the UK. Huge range of shops, from high-street names to designer outlets, and loads of restaurants and cafes to relax in. Parking is easy and free, and the mall’s layout makes it easy to navigate. Always clean, well-lit, and family-friendly. A great day out.

Massive shopping arcade with retail parks surrounding it also. Can be very busy but there is a variety of shops, restaurants and coffee shops to keep you going. Plenty of parking and pleased to say, plenty of electric charging points. Public toilets are clean and plentiful and all levels appear accessible.

Today I had the pleasure to get a tour of the stadium. Our tour guide was Angus and he did a great job. The stadium itself is amazing and really worth a visit. The tour was funny and informative. Highly recommended!

Stadium Tour was very good and informative however didn't get to see the trophies apart from that was good to see behind the scenes also being a big Newcastle fan also helps. A lot of the signage was getting changed from Premier League to the Champions League for the game against Benfica. Also went into a players private box. ⚽👍

The atmosphere in the stadium on the final day of the 2024-25 season was electric. The result on the day didn't match fans' expectations but qualification for the UEFA Champions League means that North East England will see fans from across the continent grace the region in 2025-26.

Stadium Tour was awesome, what a great ground. Lots of Newcastle memorabilla to view whilst awaiting the guide to arrive. The guide was very knowledgable and we all had such a great time. Caught the bus from the Metro Centre, £2.50 per adult.

I spent most of my adult life rolling my eyes at the mention of football. "Yawn, boring, nope, not for me, I don't care". When I met my Geordie husband our weekend was (realistically) planned around NUFC. "I wouldn't mind watching the game" was his way of saying "how about you go to the beach and I'll start engaging again in normal conversation in a couple of hours?" OR "you can watch with me (least preferred option) but heaven forbid if you start talking too much or asking too many questions I will have to be rude and say: " I'm just trying to watch the game!". Fast forward to 2025: the Geordie husband and I have somehow created a child who is even more black & white than most of his Geordie family. His teachers comment "I've never taught a child with such a knowledge of football" (yes but how is he doing at maths?!🤣). He has long conversations with die-hard supporters on the bus on the way to the game. "Aye, that's a good line-up that like son. There's a future sports commentator here!" they say. (I don't always understand what he's talking about but apparently his favourite Gordon goal was against Arsenal last year...?!). I was (reluctantly) dragged to a football game 3 years ago, and I must admit.... it was love at first sight. The atmosphere, the passion, the pace of the game, the drama. WOW. Just wow. Incredible entertainment. I now thoroughly enjoy going to every game I can (i.e. when we win at the ballot). I don't tend to watch on TV like the fam does but I do like to keep up with the scores and how the teams are doing. Football is a religion in Newcastle and there is a lot of fun and excitement and even tears to be experienced if you decide to join in. My 17-year-old self would be appalled to see the 43-year-old self losing her voice from too much shouting at St James Park however no regrets. Toon Toon Forever! ⚫️⚪️

Book the tour. Very knowledgeable guides with a friendly demeanor. Runs for about 90 minutes.

As an away supporter this stadium is awesome, the atmosphere and the views from the top are amazing. Found the fans friendly. The stairs leading up to the away end of the stadium can leave you feeling out of breath but I think there’s a lift to take you to the top if you’re struggling .

Very nice stadium where you can really enjoy watching the football game. The atmosphere and fans are really amazing. I have loved watching the game even we have enjoyed the awesome experience that we had at St Jame’s Park. Newcastle is one of historical football club and they have an excellent stadium along with true fans loved & supported their team. I would highly recommend anyone to make a plan to enjoy watching the game here

Great stadium tour guides were awsome in fact all the staff were great lots on information given and nothing was to much trouble for them.

Amazing tour! Definitely recommended if you’re in NCL! Do take a guided tour. Our tour guides Kieran and Jack were amazing! Knew every detail and the hour and a half tour flew by!

Amazing experience. The stadium is quite beautiful. Well maintained!

St James’ Park in Newcastle is an incredible stadium with an atmosphere like no other. The passion of the fans is electric, and you can feel the pride of the city in every chant and cheer. The stadium itself is impressive, offering great views from every seat and a true sense of history. Whether you’re there for a Newcastle United match or a concert, the energy and excitement make every visit unforgettable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the surrounding area is full of great pubs, restaurants, and lively Geordie spirit. A must-visit for any football or sports fan!

Amazing stadium for home fans. Capacity of 52,264

The tour is great. The guides well informed with plenty of stories to tell. Well worth the price.

Took a train ride with the children and had a under 10 minute walk to the museum. It is free to enter, wheelchair accessible and pushchair friendly, they have places to park your pram or pushchair. They have a cafe. Plenty of things to do, lots to learn and see and plenty of interactive things. 3 floors to interact with, our children range from 2 to 14 and they all enjoyed it. Highly recommend

Booked in for a activity that was making a madel around a moving sphere so we could pick up recycling. It was a small booking fee for adults and child and the 4yr old could come for free. This was harder then I expected but we had a lot of fun and the staff were amazing with both children. Especially since the youngest went rogue controlling the sphere and kept trying to eat the ladies lunch. They absolutely loved this

It’s free so who’s to complain? Daughter (2) and newborn had a great few hours out, sadly I didn’t get time to read much of the stuff as my toddler wanted to run around, it’s a great place for a free day out and I often go there for a day out to also Take my older kids who were at school this day but it does get busy on school holidays and weekends. The water room where toddlers play with water gets really busy but I don’t go in there otherwise I’d never get back out. It’s a very interesting place all I. All

Pretty sizable museum with lots of history and content about Newcastle upon tyne. Great place for kids or people who are into history/war. Best of all, its free! P.s. Thank you to the staff and Garry for helping me look after my luggage while i roam the museum.

It was one of the best museums i have visited. It's a really great setup and great attention to detail. There is lots of cool stuff for the little ones to interact with and some great historical sections. It's really worth a visit

Good for a visit not a whole days worth of exhibitions but allow a good few hours plenty to see and a few interactive ones staff were nice and place was clean. But a few interactive exhibits were broken or had pieces missing or didnt work buttons etc build a bridge,air plane control thing,shadow wall and a couple others but its free entry can make a donation also small selection of gifts toys and a cafe but we did not go in cafe.

Lovely place, full of fascinating history, facts and information. Nice and accessible and beautiful inside, well worth the visit.

An iconic statue in the UK which is quite nice to look at close, rather than just from the A1 as you travel past. It was good to enjoy a walk around it with the family and take in its share size. There is a small car park at the site which if full, a space will come up shortly as there are a lot of people coming and going all the time. I didn't see any toilets. Well worth a stop have an ice cream or coffee from the businesses there and take in the sight.

I really enjoyed seeing this. The engineering that went into fabricating something this big I find fascinating. It's literally on a mound on It's own and you can see the top of it as you come off the motorway. The information board is worth a read. The person that wrote it put some good facts. There is a car park right next to it which is free and we had no struggles parking. If you enjoy art and big sculptures this is definitely worth a visit.

Angel of the North – A Monumental Pause Worth Taking Standing sentinel over Gateshead, the Angel of the North is more than just a sculpture—it’s a moment of stillness in motion. Towering at 20 meters high with a wingspan that rivals a jumbo jet, this rust-hued giant commands attention from the A1, yet invites quiet reflection up close. I visited on a crisp morning, and despite its proximity to the motorway, the site felt surprisingly serene. The free parking and open-access grounds make it an easy detour, whether you’re en route to Durham or exploring the North East. There’s a gentle slope leading to the statue, and a small memorial garden tucked below—unexpected and deeply moving, with handwritten notes that hint at personal pilgrimages and quiet grief. The Angel itself is arresting. Stark, industrial, and oddly graceful, it evokes both strength and vulnerability. Designed by Antony Gormley, it’s meant to embody transition and human connection—and it does, especially when viewed against the shifting skies. • Location: Just off the A167, near Gateshead. • Cost: Completely free, including parking. • Best Time to Visit: Early morning or golden hour for dramatic light and fewer crowds. • Extras: Often an ice cream van on site, and plenty of space for a picnic. Whether you’re a fan of modern art or simply seeking a pause in your journey, the Angel of the North offers a rare blend of accessibility and emotional depth. It’s not just a landmark—it’s a quiet witness to countless stories.

Erected in remembrance of the miners in the North East. Located just off the A1M just south of Newcastle. Parking available, plenty for disabled. Nice and peaceful, a few visitors and dog walkers about. Managed to fly my drone (see videos attached) worth a visit if in the area.

We've passed this sculpture a lot over the years and always been in 2 minds if we like it or not. So we took a quick pit stop to get a closer look. Worth a visit if you've got 10 minutes to kill. Car parking is free!

Easy to reach there even with the bus. Great for outing with kids.. owww.. one more surprise.. there is coffee shop available in the van 😃👍🏻. Only curious if there is toilet available near by 👀

1st time here. Nice big carpark. Easy parked our 7m campervan. 2 min flat walk. Even had ice cream van in carpark.

First visit. Staff were incredibly friendly and checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. Food was fresh and well cooked. Slightly too much lemon and salt in one of the starters but nit a major issue. Will go again

Myself and my wife visited Fattoush Lounge in the Metrocentre today. We’ve walked passed loads of times but always ended up eating elsewhere. Today we decided to give it a go. Wow - why have we gone elsewhere in the past?!! This was without doubt one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We went for a mixed grill to share and when it arrived we were blown away. It looked amazing and wow there was so much! The food also smelled and tasted absolutely fantastic. It was all cooked perfectly and every bite was delicious. We ate what we could but a I say, there was a lot! No way we were wasting any though so they very kindly gave us a couple of boxes so that we could take the rest home with us. Moving onto the service - this was also second to none. From the moment we came in until the moment we left, the staff were all really friendly and courteous and made us feel really welcome. Overall, we were so pleased we visited today and will absolutely be back soon! If like us, you’ve walked past and ended up going to one of the more ‘popular’ restaurants, I urge you to give Fattoush Lounge a go. You will not be disappointed!

Decent food been here a couple times, most recent wasn't as good as before. Chilli sauce was more bland than I remember and salad missing pickles etc. Bread was a tad dry, normally you get some served with the meat on top to soak in all the juice ( and grease) but was all served separately. The rest of the food was still quality and the portion size was value for money. Fast and friendly service.

The lamb biryani was really nice. The portion of lamb in the biryani was really generous. Falafel was good. I personally did not like the third item. However the staff were very nice and welcoming. Service charge is added to the bill.

POSITIVES: Excellent shop! If you love Lebanese/Persian/Pakistani food, this restaurant offers it all! Since all them three regions all have the same type of food, but just cooked with different spices and styles! For example, a Pakistani kofta or an aubergine curry will be spicy, aromatic and full of several masala flavours, while the Persian kofta or an aubergine dish will have Lebanese influenced flavours! Kofta is my favourite thing, I have researched very deep into the history of kofta kebab lol!!! Friendly staff! Great options to select from! Great atmosphere when it's busy! ------------------------------------------------------------- NEGATIVES: I don't think I can find any to be honest!

This is a little nugget of heaven tucked away in the Metrocentre. The food is fantastic as a lover of Middle Eastern cuisine this place ticked every box for me, as a vegetarian I sometimes struggle with restaurant menus but there’s plenty of choice at Fattoush, lovely salads, hummus, falafel, halloumi, a range of starters geared to vegetarians and plenty here for the meat eaters, shawarma, kebabs and other meats. The portions are huge and usually come with rice or chips and a salad, the sweets are delicious and I loved in particular the freshly squeezed juices. The prices are amazing, we went at lunch time which had an offer of a starter and wrap which still comes with chips and dips for £13! If you can squeeze a dessert in (we couldn’t but the lovely owner sent us home with one free in a take out box) they are not to be missed, very nice! 10 out of 10 from me and we’ll definitely be back, it’s our new favourite place!

Great Halal Spot for Lunch! Stopped by for lunch since it’s one of the few halal options in Metro. The shawarma and chips were delicious, and I especially loved the Mexican hot sauce—it added a nice kick! The bread was a bit cold and hard, which was a slight downside, but the overall meal was satisfying. The staff were friendly, and the older gentleman at the till was particularly kind, taking a moment to chat. It’s a solid grill spot with good food and welcoming service. Definitely worth a try!

So disappointed!! We were over from Ireland & I picked this restaurant to celebrate my husbands big birthday. I emailed & made reservation in advance for 10 of us for 6:30pm on a Sunday. Reservation was confirmed & I was told we had the table for 2 hours. Reason why I picked this restaurant was because it served Sunday roasts. We arrived at 6;30 & told kitchen closed at 7 so hurry up & put orders in before it closed including desserts or we wouldn’t get anything! We had to write orders down ourselves & go to till with them (I wasn’t aware of this practice) Then told nearly everything we were ordering was not available-No roasts whatsoever-chicken, beef, turkey? No fish, no shepherds pie! Basically nothing left on menu! Then no desserts left either. Food was just mediocre. While the wee girl who was serving bar & food tried her best, the service & whole experience was bad. What I had hoped to be a special birthday dinner with family & friends was an awful experience.

Regular meet-up place as food and service is always good. Not into sports personally so I just zone out the large screen tv's..too busy chatting, eating and drinking. I don't usually leave a review, but the staff members Chloe and Callie were especially helpful after I'd ordered my meal and forgot to mention I was vegetarian. My all day breakfast was taken away and a vegetarian one arrived. I apologied as it was my fault and was prepared to pay again for my meal but was told that was not necessary. As usual, the food was delicious 😋 Thank You.

Alic spotted another Peoples Pub with a Cask Marque. Thus a very good real ale selection. City centre bar vibe rather than a locals vibe. Booth bought me a Cullercoats brewery Grace Darking Blond. A 5% golden ale. Pub doing a roaring trade on this Tuesday afternoon in August. Lots of food being ordered. Buzzing atmosphere. Large upstairs bar as well. Std toilets up here.

Cannot recommend the three bulls enough! Chloe, Caley and Andrew absolutely made our night. They managed to fit us in at dead short notice then gave us amazing service all night! 10/10 all round! We phoned to book and they were amazing, sat us quickly on arrival and the food and drink serive was great. We will be back soon!

We went here yesterday..the service by Callie n Rachel was outstanding..lovely young lady's. The food was amazing..i got the fish n chips special..gorgeous and my friends got the 2 meal special of fish n chip for only £16.all hot n fresh..well done the chef 👨‍🍳 and the rest of the kitchen staff.. Its not my first visit and it wont be my last.. Best pub for food in service in the toon ♥️

After 25 years of being a loyal customer. I would like to comment on the ladies toilets. They are exceptional. Very clean and pleasant to visit. Staff are fab.

Great experience. Our servers Callie and Chloe were excellent. Very attentive and friendly.

First visit here was for restaurant week, service was speedy, food was delicious, and well presented and the setting was fantastic, (we were seated in the banqueting hall). No complaints, empty plates all round. Highly recommended 👌

Been a few years since we were last here and was just as good as I remember. We got the langostine cocktail and scallop starters, with oyster and hash brown snacks. Followed by Duck breast and a side of cheese leeks. All dishes were exceptional, but I do need the recipe for the brown sauce that came with the hash browns. Or at least them to sell bottles of it. I've never felt so passionate about a condiment but this is well deserving. Service was great, attentive and friendly.

Celebrated my birthday in Blackfriars - this was my first visit. The venue is stunning - simply beautiful. Service - very friendly and professional. Food - wow 😲 delicious. Nothing to complaint. We had a lovely time, received recommendation for drinks and food. Also received a birthday card such a nice gesture. I will be back in the future for special occasions or celebrations ❤️

WOW, the food was so good, we originally started out planning to have two courses but couldn’t resist a third. Their homemade gluten free bread was the best bread I’ve had since being diagnosed coeliac. The staff took my allergies extremely seriously and made us feel very welcome. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough, it was mind blowing.

Came for our 1st year wedding anniversary. The staff were all lovely, really nice to chat too, welcoming, professional and friendly. Everyone on the night was 10/10. Food was delicious, a good gluten free selection and understanding of coeliac, I'm not poorly this morning writing this so that bodes extremely well for there understanding too. They went the extra mile for us for our anniversary and it made our night that extra bit special for us. Thank you for amazing night.

Excellent restaurant with good service and really tasty food. The ingredients are super fresh and of such good quality. Never had a potato that sweet before. The fish was perfectly cooked.

Unique atmosphere in their historic building and very detailed interior creating an elegant yet cosy environment. The food is pretty good with carefully designed menu, not overwhelming but always satisfying. The wines menu is good, well matching the food. The set menu is also pretty good if you can catch it. The bar next to the main dining area is so good that I sometimes go there early to get a glass before going to the main area.

I came with my parents for my birthday and firstly the staff were super accommodating to my mums food preferences which are admittedly quite confusing. They were also super attentive and friendly. Our cocktails were lovely and the food was incredible with generous portions. They packed up all our leftovers very neatly in a bag, didn’t rush us and made our time special. I especially thought the chicken dish was delicious and my mum loved the mandolin dessert. Obviously on the pricey side but worth a visit for a treat. The pictures don’t show all the courses, just a few.

Fancy food rather than fine dining. So incredibly disappointing. Off to a very bad start when 3 seperate staff approached our table to ask if we'd like to order. Another 2 came and asked if we wanted drinks! We ordered a drink and waited - and waited - finally the waitress appeared and went to the wrong table. Then wandered around and went back to the bar. We waited! Eventually with drinks the food came. We had the tasting menu - only it wasn't a tasting menu - a roast chicken dinner or steak (at an extra £50). The first few courses were tasty but nothing extraordinary. Then the Tatar and confit egg - well - a hard boiled egg! It was replaced with apologies but for this kind of money it just wasn't good enough. The evening was saved by Conor - the Irish waiter. Knowledgeable, funny and very good at his job. We were given a discount and a free drink. I would say we had a good time in spite of the place rather than because of it. Could not recommend it on any level. Apparently it had a Michelin Star - once... It's definitely slipped since then.

I have been looking forward to coming here for years. Having worked hospitality and eaten at a lot Michelin restaurants around the world, I had great expectations. You go to restaurants like this for the experience - it’s about the ‘theatre’ - the attention to detail of the wait staff/service, the menu/food/flavours and of course the ambience. While the food was lovely and the staff were friendly - I felt the restaurant doesn’t know what it is. I left feeling that it was a nice dinner - but not to the level that it sells itself as. Service - there was a lack of attention to detail. For instance, we had to top our own water up, we had to ask what the dishes were that we were being served and no one thought about giving us our coats at the end of the night - we had to ask several staff. The prices paid at a restaurant like this, you just can’t switch off - which sadly happened on this Saturday night. Any other restaurant I wouldn’t care - but a Michelin restaurant I expect more. Food - was lovely and very tasty. There were no flavours or combinations that I thought were life changing. There was no amuse-bouche - but the cod and beef were nice. The flavours of the cabbage side with the beef was the most memorable. The wine list was fine - however it is served to you on an iPad which did kind of ruin the ambience of the dinner to look and scroll on an iPad. Ambience - lovely old building - but again I felt there were simple wins that were missed. Staff didn’t split the tables up, so while the restaurant was only half full, they sat us all next to each other and left half of it empty which was odd. The music was also random. Billy Joel, modern pop and not what I would call background music. Lastly, these restaurants tend to be for special occasion destinations. For us it was our 11 year anniversary. When you tell staff they usually make a fuss, or plate your desert with happy anniversary written in chocolate or something random. While it may feel naff - it is important to remember that restaurants like this specialise in ‘special occasion’ dinning. Again, even while knowing it was our anniversary I couldn’t help feeling a bit unloved because nothing was done to make us feel special at all. Not a big deal, but again this is not a normal restaurant, which is reflected in its price. And then the bill came out with a £59 tip automatically put on it (15%). A bit excessive - I wouldn’t normally mind paying it if the service was great - but it was ordinary. I paid it anyway - but I did leave the night with a bad taste in my mouth. So yeah all in all disappointing. If this was a restaurant like 21 - I wouldn’t haven’t have felt the same way - however I wouldn’t have just blowing £450 on a dinner for two.

Fantastic meal, it was quiet (Friday afternoon) but the food and staff were excellent. Good selection of whiskeys and a couple of cracking beers. Recommended.

Very expensive but nothing exceptional about the food. The main course of Sea Bream was very salty and the waitress said she would let the kitchen know!!! It was a special occasion as it was a wedding anniversary which we stated at the time of booking however no attempt was made to make us feel special.

First time visiting house of tides and will unfortunately be the last. Visited as a group of 4 as a celebration on a Friday night. We asked to have a drink downstairs first, there was absolutely no atmosphere downstairs and it was not a cosy or welcoming vibe. The waitress also told us the bar were unable to do two of the cocktails we asked for, despite a chilli margarita being a pretty standard drink these days. When we went upstairs we were not welcomed or asked if it was our first time dining at the restaurant etc. Simply “are you ready to order?” Which took us all by surprise as we had booked a tasting menu so didn’t think we would need to. It was explained that we could upgrade the main course and that’s what we could order, we were also informed that they didn’t have the main course of pheasant available and it would instead be pork. Quite disappointing that a Michelin stared restaurant didn’t have one of their main courses available on a Friday 7pm sitting. The food was presented well, but tasted average and didn’t feel ground breaking, service was alright but didn’t feel smooth or confident, certainly not Michelin level. There isn’t much atmosphere in the restaurant and the toilets give the vibe of a standard cafe and not a Michelin stared restaurant. We had made a note on the booking that the night was a celebration, there was a congratulatory card hidden at the back of our table, a nice touch, however there was spelling error which was just written over, you would think at a Michelin stared restaurant a new card would have been used instead. It’s a little thing, but you would expect better! The bill came to over £800 and everyone left absolutely starving, with cereal and toast required when we got home!! Overall a very, very expensive and disappointing visit. It’s a shame to leave a negative review but when prices are this high you do expect better.

Feels like you’re paying for the name rather than the food. The tasting menu felt very uninspired and rather standard.

It's local to where I live. You can find almost every branded store. Eat, drink, play and have fun alone, with your partner, family or small and big group. Must visit place if you are in Newcastle.

Really helpful staff. Had great help from a young style advisor in the women's clothing department when I was looking for a dress for my husband's Celebration Of Life recently. Very patient, she found lots of suitable and flattering dresses in my style and helped me whittle them down to the best one for my figure type. Haberdashery always helpful too, though a rather small range of what I need. 🙂‍↔️

Shopped in Eldon Square all my life and it has a good range of shops and facilities. I am really struggling with the centre now being dog friendly. A few weeks back I seen a dog weeing up the wall outside of John Lewis and today I seen a dog having a poo in the shopping centre. Yes the owner picked up the poo, but it just puts you off seeing dogs weeing and pooing all over the centre. What if that had of been in an actual shop? I just do not see why people need to drag their dogs around shops/a shopping centre! I also have a child that's terrified of dogs so its now a struggle visiting there with the family.

Very busy Nice mall, well decorated. A bit confusing it's like a maze however I am new to the area! Handy that all the shops you néed are there.

Great shopping mall. Clean & shiny. A big car park make it more easy for shopping. This place is not only full of chained branded store but local as well. Also good choice of restaurants, cafés, Bars, eateries etc. All under one roof spreading on two floors. Clean toilets. It’s not only busy in day light for shopping but have almost everything for a great night out. Located in right in city heart n traveling by Metro making it a great entertainment centre.

It's a huge shopping centre with national brands. You could be anywhere. Didn't notice any independent shops. Not a criticism. This is how these places are.

There's something for everyone! Be prepared, the whole shopping centre is just wonderful! It's the perfect balance of great shopping options and lovely places to eat!

Loved wandering around Grainger Market! Such a lively place with so much character. From old-school butchers and bakeries to little cafés and international street food, there’s always something to explore. Ended up snacking my way through and even picked up some local goodies. It’s not fancy, but it feels authentic and full of charm – definitely a spot to experience the real Newcastle vibe.

When visiting the Granger Market I always like to call in to the Firebrick Brewery shop for a couple of drinks. The shop has a large selection of canned craft ales and a nice selection of their own keg beers too. They kindly allow you to bring your own food in which you can purchase from the vast selection of food outlets around the market. Great place to sit and relax.

Went on Wednesday and about 50% of the stalls were either, closed or vacant, good selection of places to eat and what stalls were open were very good, however, there is building work going on there and whoever thought it was a good idea to close the toilets, without an on site alternative, needs to rethink there idea. With no disabled loos on site the alternative is a walk to the nearby shopping centre, not fun when you are desperate to go, not too mention all the staff that work there. Have some common sense.

A vibrant hub of activity with lots and lots of variety to choose from. We ducked in here to grab some lunch and was very surprised by how good this place was. Food and coffee stalls, butchers, greengrocers, fish mongers and everything inbetween. Would definitely recommend

Very cool place to visit. Way bigger then we thought when we first for here. Lots of great shops to visit.

Super little indoor market with everything from traditional British fair to world foods. There also everything you’d need to fill your cupboards and fridge, such as an independent butchers, fishmongers, cheese stalls, fruiters, and bakeries. You can grab retro clothes, household items and nerdy nicknacks too.

Great place and the people are so friendly. And the food was delicious. I would highly recommend visiting 😊.

Central Arcade is a beautiful spot in Newcastle, featuring stunning Victorian architecture, intricate tile work, and a gorgeous glass ceiling that gives it a truly special atmosphere. Walking through, you can really appreciate the historic charm of the place. With such a unique setting, it could be even more vibrant with a better selection of boutiques or specialty stores.

An excellent example of how to preserve a beautiful shopping arcade. Long may the businesses there thrive, sadly too late for the music shop.

Gorgeous but without Windows, the instrument and record shop that has dominated it for a century or so, it's hard to see a reason to go there. About half of it is empty.

Such a gorgeous arcade with beautiful features. There are some cool shops 🏬 but would be excellent to see more of them full and the area more explored/used. Great record/music shop within it. It’s definitely worth checking out when exploring Newcastle.

Amazing old fashioned arcade building built in 1908. Apart from shopping, it’s good spot for tourists too. It’s like hidden gem right in the heart of city. Real Victorian look architecture. Not many shops open but well worth a walk through. I like that music shop Windows.

This is a beautiful arcade. There are a number of shops but the big one is widows which sells musical instruments and records. The arcade has a fantastic tiled wall a glass arched ceiling and the shop windows all dark timber. Giving a very traditional Victorian feel.

Edwardian shopping arcade built in 1906 and designed by Oswald and Son, of Newcastle. It gives you a old world feeling. It is well worth a visit the architecture is amazing, and so are the shops.

I really enjoyed the Royal Theatre. Always present great shows, the staff is very helpful and polite - even if the queue at the bar is long the staff is efficient in serving everyone quickly. I ordered a glass of Prosecco, and it was a good quality one . The theatre is gorgeous with its red velvets and beautiful Edwardian style ornaments - sits are comfortable, and it is a pleasure to go.

Beautiful theatre rich in history. Gallery seating designed perfectly that you can see the stage perfect. More snack options would be my only gripe but a fair selection none the less. Great time

Beautiful theatre both inside and outside. It's not huge but seats are very steep if you don't like heights. We were in the upper circle and view was good. I don't think there are many seats without a decent view. We watched Miss Saigon. Stunning show. Staff are lovely. Big queue for toilets during interval but I suppose that is expected. I have been several times and I always enjoy the venue. It is in a lovely part of Newcastle with stunning buildings, eateries and bars galore. We parked at Dean street car park and it's a very easy walk of about 5 mins. Recommend.

Lovely Theatre. Full of character and charm. One of Newcastle's treasured buildings. Well worth visiting for a show.

Love the theatre Royal. Only trouble is tickets sell so fast! So don't get here as often as I like

Theatre Royal in Newcastle is a beautiful building. The latest visit here was to see Miss Saigon, a fabulous show.

Went to see the little mermaid panto and what a superb production. Excellent value as I was sat in the cheap seats but had ample leg room and a little side table although only a partial view as the safety rail was obstructing my view. All involved were so great and the place was rammed with kids who all seemed to be enjoying it and getting involved. Great time

Having tried to see a docu/movie last Sunday and due to not being able to get parked, didn’t manage to get to the venue in time and wasn’t able to cancel my booking however the cinema went beyond what I was expecting and credited my account to spend on another film which I did the following Wednesday. As someone who has worked in cinemas for decades and upto lockdown, frequented the Tyneside a few times a year so not a great customer. My visit on Wednesday left me feeling underwhelmed with the place, the famous Tea Room isn’t open anymore, there was hardly any visible staff, it appeared the circle area of the classic was closed as well, the place was pretty empty and felt soulless, a depressing sight. I was interested in applying for one of the jobs and was going to go to the open day this month and have a chat with someone about applying for one of the front of house jobs, but seeing the place as it was last Wednesday has put me off, I think it might be boring. Some cinemas have managed to rebuild business after the enforced closure, sadly the Tyneside seems it hasn’t. I wish the place well and hopefully one day it might see an increase in guests although without what was its great asset is no longer open, I don’t think it will. I was in a very small cinema, the Roxy yet despite a very small screen, the presentation was pretty good with a decent screen image and great sound, but can understand with smaller auditoria like Roxy, how people might just prefer watching movies at home as most people have large screens now. Was a sad visit as it was such a great place.

Love this cinema 💗 I booked at the box office to see a film later that day, when I arrived I was told very apologetically by the lovely staff member that the film had to be cancelled due to a technical issue. My ticket was refunded plus I was given a voucher to see an alternative film free ! More than happy with this, thank you. I also enjoyed the coffee and the sweet potato fries in the cafe bar & the staff in there are really lovely too ! I have just found this great cinema & will be back as often as possible ! 💗

Tyneside is a reminder of how cinema is more than just a screen. In the days of multiplex & a digital life, Tyneside is one of the few remaining places that still truly feel like a real cinema. They have a welcoming foyer and the ground floor screen has comfortable original style cinema seats, and still has an actual ‘curtains up’. The building has some beautiful original interior, while being upgraded on upper floors to accommodate extra screens. The stairs are a trek, but thankfully there is a lift!! The cinema shows a variety of films from mainstream to indie, and shows many films you wouldn’t see at big chain places. Tickets are a little more than some places, but they offer discounts which are easily applied (I use a Cea card) and if you need to change your plans, I’ve found this cinema much more accommodating to this than many others. The staff are always friendly and ready to help, and though the bar/cafe area is often busy, it usually doesn’t take much time to be served. The food may not be cheap, but it’s always a healthy size & I’ve enjoyed the things I’ve tried from the menu so far. Keep it up Tyneside & I hope you’re long to remain a wonderful place, with a true cinema spirit.

What a fantastic cinema in the heart of Newcastle. Staff very friendly - feels family run. Great bar as well, for pre drinks, and you can buy a bottle of wine to take in to watch the film.

Have always had a good experience here. The seats are nice, the screens are clear (unlike an experience we had at Cineworld. Decent range of alcohol free beers which you can take into the film with you.

The Heritage tour was very informative, and it was great to learn about the history of the cinema from our Heritage Guide. The newsreel shown was from well before my time, and provided an excellent insight into past events and how they were reported. The Tyneside Cinema is well worth a visit

One of the best independent cinemas going at the moment. Some of the best showings for the big upcoming new films with early releases. Comfortable seating, lovely cafe, cool overnight fun screenings and genuine staff, who’ve never been a problem but have always made the experience great! P.S - make more shirts with the over night showings (I will buy them)

There's always a holiday atmosphere on Newcastle Quayside. Iconic views, Baltic gallery, Millennium Bridge, plenty of pubs and restaurants. A lovely place for an evening stroll. The open air market on a Sunday is great for food, crafts, art and ice cream. In summer there's often special events like the beach resort or a tall ship, and the Baltic always has something new on display for a winter's day.

Totally iconic, I love this bridge. Work has just started on a restoration which seems long overdue. Rust, rot, flaked paint. Poor really, but at least help is on the way for this UK landmark.

The Tyne Bridge is undeniably an iconic symbol connecting Newcastle and Gateshead, embodying the spirit and resilience of the region. When it opened it was the largest single-span bridge globally, and it remains a striking piece of engineering to this day. Walking across the bridge offers breathtaking views of the River Tyne and the surrounding cityscape. At sunset, the scenery is especially beautiful, casting warm hues across the skyline—a perfect backdrop for photos.

Beautiful Views, a highly recommended Landmark for photography when travelling in Newcastle because of how iconic it is.

Brilliant bridge on a nice clear day you can see the whole of Newcastle i like the way it's been built the shape the time taken to build it must have been long but well worth it. We came from Birmingham 5 hour drive to see the sights and it never disappointed brilliant city

Beautiful bridge on river Tyne. They offer beautiful views or river Tyne and surrounding areas

Great engineering at its best. Great views from here overlooking the Swing Bridge and High Level Bridge as well as a great view of parts of the city. Bridge can be noisy as used by all types of vehicles. Wide pavements however if you have children with you, they must not be out of your sight due to the constant vehicular traffic.

Came here today whilst attending a uni open day. Absolutely superb food. Friendly service and good prices. We were lucky to get seated as it got very busy soon after we arrived. Cannot complement this place enough. Would definitely eat here again 😁

This was my friends and i first time in Newcastle and in SnackWallah. The food might look good but looks can be deceiving (and they were), The food tasted like soap and parfume but regadless we tried to eat it. We didnt know that we had to throw our trays and the leftover food away by ourselfs, so we asked the cashier. He was unfriendly and didnt even talk to you he just pointed his head into the direction of the bin and that was it. BTW The food gave us food poisining and it did not stay longer than 15minutes in our stomach before it had to come out. Stomach cramps and fever followed afterwards. For the sake of your stomach i would recomend to stay away!

Very disappointed with the food, the bhajis/Pakoras were underseasoned, warmed in the microwave and very very dry I must say. They look good but that’s about it. They need to up their game, improve the quality of their snacks and make sure they are fresh. Thanks!

I love Snackwallah. You need to get it timed right to make sure you get a seat at lunchtime as its very popular! Food is always delicious and well presented. My favourite place in Grainger Market.

The SnackWallah Indian restaurant is a gem in the heart of the city. The restaurant's vibrant and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for an enjoyable dining experience. The menu offers a range of authentic Indian dishes, from flavorful curries to tasty street food snacks, all bursting with rich spices and flavors. The portions are generous, and the service is prompt and attentive. The restaurant is also well-known for its fantastic selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. With its delicious food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff, the SnackWallah Indian restaurant is a must-visit

I am a regular at Snackwallah it's my favourite food in the market. Food is fresh and delicious and the quality is always amazing. The servers are always super sweet and I take visitors the city for lunch ALL the time and everyone loves it. A must visit when your in Newcastle, enjoy!

Absolutely sensational! The food here is fantastic and such good value for money. We had the curry of the day and an onion bhaji wrap for £11! Authentic street food I would say with that western twist! Fantastic and such a delight to see them in the Grainger Market still.

Very delicious food, there's a nice selection of beef and chicken burgers. It was very packed, but we were able to get a table straight away. Not too badly priced for a meal out. I would recommend it!

It was an enjoyable meal! Not the best we’ve ever had, but not the worst. The burgers were huge and we had to contemplate how to eat it in one bite. There were lots of veg/vegan options which is unusual for a burger joint! We ordered the loaded tots which I would get again! The cheese balls which I would NOT get again. There was too much cheese and the dressing had a LOT of dill in it. We also got a decent burger!

The OG of all fat hippos. The original restaurant that opened never fails to impress, I have been here 3 times now and the food is always exceptional. There is such a wide variety of options to choose from & the burgers are always juicy. The only thing that let's all fat hippos locations down is the selection of drinks. But do you come here for drinks? No, you come here for the outrageous smash burgers. Can cater for most allergies & the flavour still bangs, definitely recommend trying fat hippo out, whether it be here, brum town or London.

Amazing looking food. Sadly my buffalo burger was flavourless and cold. Same with my partners burger. The fries and cheese balls (also only lukewarm) were delicious.

We went to Fat Hippo when we visited friends in Newcastle. Fat Hippo was recommended by a friend and it was amazing. I went for the Born Slippy and it was excellent, I'd high recommended thay but based on what everyone else ordered there wasn't a bad choice. Next time we visit we will come here again!

Really nice place to eat!! It was great going there!! The only thing is there is little signal as most of the restaurant is underground, but great opportunity to talk!!

Burger restaurant on two levels I had a burger called the swiss Tony it was fine filling it gets harder to differentiate burgers they are all much of a muchness one friend had the chicken didn't finish it said it was not nice looked a bit unappetising

Well it is pizza express, just one of those chains going through the daily monotomy of making pizza. The best part ... the food was paid for by Tesco Clubcard Vouchers on a 2:1 basis. So just £23 pounds spent on two pizzas and a sharing platter. As can be seen from the sharing platter, a lot of food for three people. Everything stored and reproduced for the masses at minimal cost. Definitely no love here. There was enough cheese to redistribute to the local community. The bread was crispy to the extent I did not know whether to use a gum sheild to stop my gums from being lacerated or take it to the local radio station for acoustic effects, for breaking glass. Now the gluten free base .... recipe not right cooking very poor. See photo. Very very thin, brown and hard and dry and hard and just rock hard. The centre was cooked for the first nanometre and raw dough on top. Take a look at the Classia Pollo Italiano, just raw dough above a wafer thin cooked layer. With the ingredients on top looking like the night before's take away. Come on Pizza Express you are better than this. Put some love back in your food. Customer services asked us for more details, which I supplied. Thank you, we look forward to redeeming our vouchers and our next visit 🤞.

When ordering food I asked about whether the burn ends pizza was spicy as I can't tolerate anything spicy - the waitress checked with the chef and told me it wasn't at all spicy. On tasting the food I actually found it quite spicy and my lips went numb. Also, I wouldn't class it as "burnt ends", just beef. Fortunately this was only half of my pizza. Nobody asked if the food was OK which should be standard practice, especially if someone has made a query while ordering. I finished my meal before my wife and someone tried to take my plate away even after I pointed out that my wife was still eating - this is really bad form for waiting. The pizzas are a good size - not too big to feel stuffed but big enough to fill you. As usual, deserts are pricey for what they are, although we did enjoy them.

We visited on 30/7/25 and the waitress we had looked like she couldn't be bothered to be there. She walked around the restaurant with a glum face the whole time and not once when she served us did she smile. It felt very awkward. My son ordered pasta from the kids menu and it was drowning in oil, I had to take the bits of pasta out and put it onto a side plate instead. Nobody came over to ask if our food was okay, which is usual standard at restaurants. Don't think we'll be back anytime soon.

Ordered a pizza for takeaway. I got grease and bbq sauce with a little dough. Think they forgot to add the cheese I’m not too sure. Was meant to have a tomato base and be large and was a small bbq sauce pizza. Words can’t describe how ashamed I am of myself for even eating that. Austin

Thank you for the friendly quick service today. The two burly chefs (sorry couldn't catch there names) cooked the pizzas to perfection . Also very accomodation to my dad's mobility issues.

Honestly such a great experience, the staff are super friendly and helpful, the food is beautifully seasoned and prepared, and it all looks so appetising! Really enjoyed our experience here and we will be back!

We visited here without a reservation on Saturday night. The restaurant wasn't busy and we were seated quickly and easily. The lady that seated us was very helpful with the menu explaining what I could have that was gluten/dairy free. That unfortunately is where the good service ended. This lady dissapeared and we were left with some other servers who didn't seem present unless the kitchen called. I had to ask for a sauce that was missing from my starter, the starter dishes weren't cleared before the mains arrived, and when the mains did arrive I could see my 'raw slaw' sat at the kitchen waiting to be brought over but after 5 minutes I got up and retrieved it myself. There was no staff to be seen. The kitchen staff were apologetic but this is the first time I've ever had to do this at any restaurant. It felt like they shut at 9.30 (as they kept pointing out to people) and were only interested in getting cleaned down and out on time. The only time we did get prompt service was when we finally saw someone and asked for the bill. This is the first time I have ever left a restaurant without leaving a tip, but a tip is for good service which we most certainly didn't receive on this occasion. The food however was very delicious and the first member of staff we dealt with was very helpful so thankyou to her.

It's depicted as a 9 course menu but three are canapés, some bread and butter and petit fours. All the food is well presented and the staff are excellent but with the venison being a stand out dish ,the rest is nothing of note. It was fun to do as have experienced a lot of tasting menus but would I recommend, regretfully probably not. £££

We visited SIX Rooftop for our anniversary celebration and it couldn’t have been more special. From the moment you step out of the elevator, the views over the Quayside and river are breathtaking — but it’s the staff who truly make the experience stand out. We started with drinks at the bar where the team made us feel instantly welcome and so comfortable. When we were taken to our table, a thoughtful anniversary card was waiting, and we were upgraded to the Chef’s Table right at the front of the kitchen — such a unique touch. As it was a special occasion, we went all out with the nine-course tasting menu and wine pairings. Our amazing waitress, Eve, was incredibly knowledgeable about every drink, giving full explanations of the pairings, and she went above and beyond to make the evening unforgettable. Jen, the amazingly talented chef, personally brought out each dish, sharing the story behind the ingredients and explaining the process with real passion and precision. Her attention to detail and ability to make us feel part of the dining journey was outstanding. It was clear that she leads by example — the whole kitchen team worked seamlessly under her guidance to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience. For all you foodies out there — this is a must-visit. Stunning views, exceptional service, and food that is truly unforgettable. You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely spectacular food in an absolutely spectacular setting with the most amazing views. I am coeliac, and every course of the tasting menu was expertly adapted to be gluten free. I didn't get sick and I was never jealous of the unadapted food. A wonderful night. Although on the expensive end, totally worth it for the quality of what we received.

We visited on a friday evening and were excited to try the tasting menu and wine flight. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed and offered drinks in the viewing box looking over the Tyne towards the Millennium Bridge before being taken through to the restaurant. We chose the nine course taster menu and wine selection. The star of the menu was an excellent lamb dish served in a variety of ways with a dark rich blackberry red. Some elements were a little lacking - a wine course missed but then rectified when we asked and perhaps a little over salting on some of the dishes. However, over all, the night and the company were wonderful, as was the venue with its views over the river, which changed by the moment as the light changed and the city slipped towards midnight. In general, everything was really good, except a little oversalted Eggs and Soldiers, a missed wine with one of the courses and a little overpriced Tasting Menu. My genuine rating for SIX Rooftop Baltic is 4.5 . However, as there's no option to rate the place like that, I rate it 5. It's definitely worth to visit this place at least once. Enjoy!

Enjoyed a lovely evening at Six, perfect venue for a romantic dinner with amazing cocktails and delicious food. Big thank you to Madeline, Sophie and Daisy for taking such great care of us throughout the night. Daisy made the perfect cocktail recommendations which were made beautifully. Can’t wait to go back there again!!

Nice place to chill and look over the Tyne. Been here a couple of times for wine and bar snacks. They do full meals in the restaurant which we will try at some point.

What an amazing place, the views over Newcastle across the Tyne and Gateshead are amazing. The atmosphere is so chilled for such an upmarket venue. The staff were excellent, friendly polite and just couldn't be more helpful. The food service was a little slow though and we had starters arriving without the main course. However that aside it is definitely worth a visit.

Really friendly and helpful staff here. I managed to find a table on a Saturday night and use the app to order. Drinks were taking over 15 minutes to come out, which is fairly understandable for how busy they were. They got my first drink wrong, but I couldn't be bothered making an issue out of it as it was luckily something I don't normally mind drinking. Kept it quiet and ordered again to get the right one second time round.

I have been here a couple of times. As Don McLean might sing; A long, long time ago. Probably 30+ years. Alic surprised how busy it is on an early Tuesday evening. Had to sit in the courtyard as all tables gone inside. Bit chilly after an August storm. Boothroyd ordered a strong Dartmoor brewery 4.8% Jail Ale, all the way from Devon. £1.99! .. less 50p with a CAMRA voucher.

Really poor The staff are disinterested, and the one in the photo made us more as he wanted to store things where we were sitting. "Where should we move to"? "I dont know, anywhere..." Flat and warm Lager that you can't get changed as there are no staff with manners to talk to. Filthy tables ! I dont like it here....

A fabulous setting next to the Tyne with views of its famous bridges.Currently being renovated but very welcoming and a typical Spoons offering great value for money on food and beverage.Small but plenty of outside seating Very friendly service .It's popularity and location means it's very busy on weekends, especially nights, but we'll worth the downhill walk from the city centre

I work close by and have popped in for food many times over the years, today we ordered chips and a burger, the same we have ordered in the past. The Burger was over done and burnt with an extremely small portion of chips, in the past they included onion rings and coleslaw - I asked the waiter where’s the rest of the chips to be told we have reduced our portion sizes but we still use the large plates!!! We have decided we won’t be going back, there’s plenty of other places with better value!!

Large pub inside & out, lots of seating but still got very busy. Good location, friendly staff.

Really nice place, close to River, Excellent customer Service, and or course Wetherspoon always fair prices.

Little bit of a gushy review but I can hands down say this is my absolute favourite place to eat in town! My partner and I have been frequently in the past few years and have never been served anything less than perfection! Service is absolutely outstanding with knowledgeable and attentive staff and the food……superlative! Fish dishes; fresh, well balanced and delicious and oh my word the lamb sharing main 🤤 just make sure you don’t eat for 24 hours beforehand if you want to finish it (although the staff are very happy to wrap up for you too). All in all, outstanding! Can’t wait for my next outing to The Broad Chare 😊

Absolutely wonderful experience here. Staff attentive but relaxed, great vibe & fantastic food. High recommend. Wish I’d taken more photos. This was the Butchers Steak in green peppercorn sauce! Delicious 🙏

Absolute best Sunday roast I've had since moving up here a year ago. We ordered the veggie roast which came with bubble and squeak; pork belly and the beef. Everything was flavoured beautifully and the roast potatoes were incredible. Definitely coming back

Pros: Good selection of beers, scotch egg, haggis on toast is an interesting take. Cons: Too pricey for what they offer. Fish cake was too dry, only mediocre at best. "Grilled calf liver" wasn't grilled, but pan fried (though it was delicious, nevertheless). Green leaves in the salad weren't properly washed, you could see the dirt on some of them. Attention to detail was lacking, overall ("luxury soap" bottle in the toilet was refilled with some cheap washing liquid that you can hardly rinse off, etc.). Michelin list brought us here, but I regretted the visit. I hope this was a one off incident, and they are doing better generally.

Amazing food and service - the bar snacks (monkfish cheeks and cauliflower fritters pictured) and roasts (topside of beef and pork belly) were exceptional!

Calf liver was really good and tasty, but the portion size should be bigger for a main. It’s only two slices of liver and the rest is kale and mash.

Such a beautiful place .. service was exceptional and so was the food .. my favourite meal from my week away in Newcastle .. thank you for an amazing food experience

Attended an 80's concert by candlelight. Lovely atmosphere. The staff on the door and the bar/cafe friendly - cakes on offer looked amazing but didnt sample - one for another visit! Lots of space to move out of people's way and dance. Good venue but a little chilly being a cathedral so dancing warms you up.

A nice Cathedral but I dislike new modern furniture being introduced where they clearly don’t fit and here is a good example, nothing appears in keeping. What I liked though was seeing how some homeless people were able to find a seat and rest here from the rain, get warmth and comfort. It’s what a religious building should be doing and looking to reach out.

Lovely and very beautiful free to enter cathedral. Was greeted by kind staff who made sure to tell me where things were and that I could ask questions if I wished. Lots of gorgeous stained glass windows, there are toilets and a cafe as a well as a small gift shop.

Been spoilt,the pews are gone, the laid up regimental colours hidden away on some dingy corner. Place of worship now more often a concert venue full of drunks. No wonder the C of E is becoming a joke.

First time in the Cathedral for a music event. It is an amazing building and the acoustics were very good. Not the real Fleetwood Mac but they were a decent band. Little bit of a trek to the bar area but its good to see that buildings of this type are being used in new ways and being supported by the public.

Beautiful cathedral in the centre of Newcastle. Beautiful architecture, stained glass windows, crypt, and welcoming staff ⛪ Gift shop and cafe on site too 👍🏻

This is a beautiful cathedral in the heart of the city. It's like entering into the spell of a fairy tale. Its calm, serenity, and beauty of architecture are amazing. The place is well maintained and msut visit. It has painted glass, big halls and amazing art.

Absolutely loved visiting Newcastle Castle! I was genuinely impressed by the stunning architecture and how well this historic site has been preserved. Every stone seems to tell a story, and the views from the top are simply breathtaking — a perfect blend of history and scenery. Walking through the narrow passages and ancient chambers truly felt like stepping back in time. A must-visit for anyone interested in medieval history or simply looking to explore one of Newcastle’s architectural gems.

Had an amazing visit here as it was included in our walking tour. It's an amazing attraction and lots of history to be learnt. There is a lot of climbing so a reasonable level of fitness is needed, but there are areas to rest and look at historical aspects of the Castle. It wasn't too crowded and the information signs and interactive elements are very good. It's reasonably priced for entry and all in all a great experience.

I enjoyed my visit. It was so close to my hotel and I could enjoy my time without the castle being too busy. The only thing was that it was so windy so I couldn't enjoy the views at the top of the castle! Other than that I was grateful for this experience.. some suggestions -there needs to be guides around and more signs out for visitors.

Visited this castle on the last day of my holiday, and spent an enjoyable couple of hours here. A short but steep walk from the quayside, the castle consists of two main buildings, separated by a wooden bridge, the foundations of an earlier Roman fort, and railway arches. You have to visit the Black Gate first, because it's where you buy your tickets, in a small gift shop at the top of a flight of stone steps (there's a lift if you can't manage stairs). Adult admission is £12.50, it's £8.20 for a child, £11.25 concession. I bought an interesting little guidebook for £4.95, and there are also audio guides. The girl at the ticket desk was really helpful, telling me all about what there was to see and how to get to it. Useful to know that the only toilets in the castle are here too! The Black Gate, built around 1250, was the main gateway to the medieval castle. There's an upstairs exhibition in a former guardroom with artefacts, crafts, and lots of information about Newcastle's long and eventful history, but there's not a lot else to see. Far more interesting for me was the 12th century keep. The well-preserved rooms, on three floors reached by spiral staircases, include a great hall with medieval decorations and a large stone fireplace, a cellar, a Norman chapel, prisoners' cells, medieval toilets and a small room with a well. There are interesting passages and recesses to discover, but also a lot of steps not advisable for anyone with mobility issues to attempt. Plenty of fascinating info about the castle's history and royal connections, a few artefacts, and fun activities that included drawings for children to colour in and medieval board games, and friendly staff around to show me how to play them! But the highlight for me was the spectacular view from the roof! Accessed through an iron door at the top of a spiral staircase, it's a fantastic 360 degree panorama of Newcastle and all its best landmarks, from the Cathedral and Grey's Monument to the Tyne bridges, as well as the trains that were constantly passing below. Wonderful photo opportunities! All in all, a great way to spend the afternoon. Well worth a visit!

We booked with Newcastle Castle for an event and it was truly amazing. The staff were really organised and attentive in the lead up to the event and at the event itself. It was a really hot day and the team worked extremely hard carrying heavy things like tables etc into the hall and up many flights of stairs to set-up and pack down. The event went late into the evening so we really appreciate the staff working the event until that time and all the effort they put in to make the event super memorable. The castle itself is amazing, views from the rooftop are stunning, it's a beautiful venue! We had the best time ever and created memories we'll treasure forever ❤️

Well worth going just for the views. Amazing. You could see all the city and great place for pictures as well. Also good information in places like the great hall on the history of the castle.

Fascinating ancient fortress with many kid friendly games scattered throughout. Many stairs, not suitable for those with mobility issues; be advised, there is only one toilet facility (located in the Black Gate reception area) and no water fountains... come prepared and you will be rewarded with a wonderful afternoon of exploration.

Came here with friends before a concert so 5.45pm on a Saturday so first in. Immaculately clean with a lovely waiter who looked as if he was going to play cricket after serving us - very smart! The Queen's platter starter of chicken, lamb, fish and prawn was a good choice and gave you lots of amazing flavours. My butter chicken very good and the naan was thin and crispy not stodgy like you sometimes get. We all agreed that meal was excellent and would come again. 4 starters , 4 mains, 2 bottles of wine, 1 rice and 1 naan came to £172 with 10% tip already added.

UPDATE 16.11.24 (Previous review from a year ago still stands). The same three pals and I returned, bang on a year after our first visit. We had been to the same venue over the water too, earlier on. This time it was busy! Grub was top. My Seekh Kebab starter and Spiced Beef Roast really worked well for me. Downers? Ok it could do with a lick of paint throughout and not all the staff had a solid grasp of 'The Queen's' (as ace as they were). Give it a try for top scran. Alongside three pals I hit this curry house before heading over the river to a certain well known concert venue. We hadn't planned to go, but it was prime tea-time and bellies rumbled. We were the only folks in (18.00 Saturday night) by chance. I scored a lamb madras and shared a big naan bread and a few rice's. Very decent grub! Zero colonic repercussions after which is always a bonus, whilst Kingfisher lager hit the spot too. Not perhaps a dead trendy joint, but head down for a fully respectable feed all round.

This is one of the best Keralan / Sri Lankan restaurants in the UK. The food from the first smell and taste, brought us back to memories of Southern India. When the food touches your soul you know it is made with passion. I highly recommend people to try the South Indian / Sri Lankan food options. Such as Kothuroti, dosa and Lamprais. Can't wait to go back again to try the fish fry and beef fry with porotta and a pint of refreshing Kingfisher. Don't stop with the savoury and finish with some Watalappam, which is a Sri Lankan coconut custard pudding. I don't think I can recommend this restaurant more highly than I do. Food will take time to cook but be patient as it is worth it but portions are huge so hunger will be quenched. Ordered: Beef dosa, beef lamprais, devilled squid, kothuroti, pint of Kingfisher and Watalappam. Try to not order the usual north Indian curry, rice and poppadoms as you can get this anywhere.

Not good food it’s just fake microwave food taste pathetic. The biriyani was so dry hence they serve with that sauce I was wonder why biriyani should come with sauce . The masala dosa served with drumstick sambar they microwave it so hot until drumsticks become a just sticks . The coconut chutney was horrible and the starter full of ketchup they said it’s chilli chicken. No wonder I was alone at restaurant. Never go back again .

They have wide range of Sri Lankan food and spicy level. English and Sinhala speaking friendly staff. They were very helpful when selecting food from the menu. Setting is also decent and calm. They have cocktails and wines. Kottu is really nice and delicious. Lamprais is really authentic Sri Lankan taste.

We went to Ury’s for an early Valentine’s dinner accompanied by our infant. Though we’ve been regulars to this place, this was our first time since the new management took over. We were very impressed by the staff and the new menu. The V day seat decor was lovely. Many new additions to the menu. The food is authentic as usual but the presentation has improved manifold these days. The staff were lovely and so considerate that they even tiptoed around our table after our baby fell asleep so as not to wake her up as they served our food. The owner himself checked up on us to make sure everything was fine. Needless to say we’ll surely be visiting soon again

We have been to this restaurant recently, very bad experience. After placing the order it took almost an hour to get the food to the table. The food served was very bad and we got a hair from the poori we ordered. Biriyani felt like pulav and mixed with the non- veg type you ask with. Dosa served was cold and felt like cooked long before. Please choose wisely and opt other options available nearby.

Little quite when we visited and the service was a little slow as a result (maybe waiting for the dinner rush). Food was great, highly recommend the fondue sharing platter (to die for!). Good selection of cocktails and drinks for the alcohol drinkers and also a good mix of alcohol free too.

Exceptional Experience at Zizzi Newcastle! 🌟 Visited Zizzi Newcastle recently and had a fantastic time. The food was absolutely amazing—beautifully presented, bursting with flavour, and delivered with real attention to detail. From starters to dessert, every bite was spot on. What really made the visit special was the service. Hayley took care of us, and she was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and kept everything running smoothly throughout our meal. Highly recommend Zizzi Newcastle for both great food and superb hospitality. Thanks to Hayley and the team for a memorable experience!

We had a good experience. The food was tasty, and the staff were friendly. The place and the atmosphere was also nice.

Went here for my friend’s birthday dinner on a Friday evening. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of gluten free options. Especially the calamari starter which I would definitely order again. The cocktails were great. For mains we both got the beef ragú and forgot to take photos because it smelled so damn good and didn’t disappoint. The dessert I had was the lemon blackcurrant cheesecake which was really nice but im not a fan of the ricotta ice cream. Service was decent. It was quite quiet in the restaurant to be honest so no issues with waiting for service. Food was good. Would go again.

I booked this venue for a family meal. Booked online very easily for 12 people. When we arrived we saw put us at a large table right at the serving hatch and as we got seated, a waiter with a bit of a comb over tutted at me as he was trying to get plates to take to customers. If the table us in the way, don't put it there!!! However once we got seated and our lovely waiter came over, our meal was superb. He was polite and friendly and super helpful. Our food was delicious and came surprisingly quickly. Everyone agreed it was delicious. Several of our group had a pulled pork pizza which we can recommend. Overall, really good and will be back. Limited parking on grey street. Disabled access and toilet downstairs if required. Decent menu and choice of drinks.

Brilliant service, food was beautiful would definitely recommend!!

I love Zizzis, purely because it delivers every time... first time I took the kids (12) and it's now their favourite restaurant! Great freshly made pasta.. the speciality carbonara and meatballs both excellent!! Their service was above and beyond, love it, love it, love it. 🥰 they even put a little sticker on your plate to let you know it's hot or to confirm they've adhered to your allergen situation... great all round.

The one thing that surprised was how quiet it was, granted it was Thursday lunch time but in my opinion the 2/3 course set lunch menu offers excellent value for money in a restaurant with a special atmosphere. Well worth a visit and combining with a walk along the quayside. FYI the creamy pic was creamed goats cheese with beetroot and candied nuts, truly delicious.

Wow! This place fully deserves all the awards it has received. We had a late Friday evening booking (9.30pm) so it was quieter than earlier in the evening but the whole experience was fantastic! Very friendly service, unbelievably delicious food, great selection of wines, beers and cocktails. The menu was really varied and it was hard not to order every starter, main and dessert. Very good value for what we enjoyed - if this restaurant was in London the prices would have been double! All this capped off by the small excellent touch that they have heating for stored coats so you literally leave with a warm glow! Highly, highly recommended and congratulations to the whole D&P team!

Found this restaurant with really good reviews on internet and decided to give it a try. The place has a lovely modern atmosphere and loved the lighting design on the place with a bunch of floating bulbs. We when on the 28 of December so they were serving the Christmas set menu. I look for the description on the page but was not available any more. Both of the started we chose where quite good the beef tartar 10/10. For the next course I got the duck Wellington, it was really disappointed by a raw chewy duck. after sending the dish back I was corner to order the fish dish since “it was the faster to be prepared” with a curry sauce, nothing especial. For the service after I send the dish back (that I did in the must respectful manner) change so much, it looked like they didn’t wanna to come back to us and the restaurant was probably at half capacity. There was one young waiter with a nice attitude that I’ll aplaude his service. Maybe the tiredness of the end of the season didn’t help. I’ll come back to try the a la cart menu.

Dobson and Parnell had some great dishes however considering the expectations I was left disappointed. I had the beef pie which was dry. The starter of fish pie was excellent. The peas in both dishes were weirdly sweet in taste.

Fantastic Quayside eatery serving contemporary food in a relaxed setting. Beautiful dining room designed by the restaurant namesakes. Great choice of delicious starters, main and desserts. Friendly and efficient service and laid back atmosphere. The quality, presentation and menu choices were all superb. Check the website for promotions, fixed price menus and offers - we took advantage of restaurant week and cocktails and were not disappointed. Would definitely recommend.

Me and my girlfriend visited in October for my 30th birthday. Immediately the level of customer service we received on arrival was 10/10 and continued throughout the whole time we were there, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere matched it. The guy who was looking after us was a credit to the restaurant and even made me a complimentary cocktail as it was my birthday. A beautiful place I can't wait to visit again.

I had a virgin exp voucher so i put it towards a three course meal with fizz for 2 at dobson parnell. Booked on IG as I had 0 reply on phone and email. Arrived at 12 and all really good, never been before so did not know what to expect. They took our coats and took us to our table. Explained the menu, opened the fizz and took our orders. The food we ordered (see images) was delicious, seriously impressed. Really tasty, had never tasted anything like it before. You can see why it is michelin worthy. I also like the desighn of the resturant too. Staff are really attentive.

Gateshead Millennium Bridge – Engineering with Soul The Gateshead Millennium Bridge isn’t just a crossing—it’s a performance. Linking Newcastle’s Quayside with Gateshead’s cultural quarter, this sleek, tilting arc is a marvel of modern design and quiet drama. I visited on a breezy evening, just in time to watch the bridge tilt—a slow, graceful motion that earned it the nickname “Blinking Eye.” It’s the world’s first and only tilting bridge, and when it moves, it feels like the river itself is taking a breath. The structure is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, making it a peaceful vantage point to take in the Tyne’s historic skyline. Nearby, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and Sage Gateshead add cultural weight to the experience, while the Quayside buzzes with cafés and market stalls. Whether you’re drawn by its engineering or its elegance, the Millennium Bridge offers a moment of quiet connection—between cities, between people, and between past and future.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in the North East. It’s not just a bridge, it’s a piece of art and engineering brilliance. The tilting design is incredible to see in action, and at night the lighting makes it even more spectacular. Great place for a walk, cycling, or just enjoying the Quayside views. Definitely a must-visit in Newcastle and Gateshead!

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is absolutely stunning and a must-see in Newcastle–Gateshead. Its unique tilting design makes it one of the most impressive bridges I’ve ever visited, both as a piece of engineering and as a landmark. Walking across gives you great views of the Quayside, and at night the bridge lights up beautifully, creating a magical atmosphere. It’s also right by plenty of pubs, restaurants, and attractions, so it’s perfect to include as part of an evening stroll. Whether you’re a visitor or a local, it’s an iconic spot that captures the energy and character of Newcastle. Highly recommended, especially at sunset or after dark when the reflections on the water are incredible.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a beautiful and absolutely stunning arched bridge — its unique tilting design and illuminated reflections make it a must-see landmark in Newcastle–Gateshead. Walking across offers fantastic Quayside views, and nearby restaurants, it’s perfect for an evening stroll. Highly recommended, especially at sunset or after dark.

Every time I cross this bridge to visit the Baltic I marvel at the amazing views it offers. It is visually very beautiful from afar and the practical elements of the design allows for both pedestrians and cyclists to cross in their own safe space. In the past I have taken some lovely photos of the bridge at twilight; sadly on my most recent visit it was too cold and blustery to hang around until the light started to fade.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a stunning example of modern engineering and design, linking Gateshead and Newcastle over the River Tyne. Its unique tilting mechanism, resembling a “blinking eye,” is both functional and mesmerizing to watch in action. The sleek, arched structure is particularly beautiful when illuminated at night, casting reflections on the water. Offering scenic views of the river and surrounding landmarks, it’s a favorite spot for photographers and visitors alike. While weather and timing for the tilt might affect the experience, the bridge remains a must-see icon of innovation and elegance.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge on a memorable ‘blue sky’ afternoon in March 2025, along by the River Tyne in Newcastle. After 3️⃣0️⃣ years since my last visit to this wonderful City, the inspiration for a return trip was triggered by Mark Knopfler’s brilliant ‘One Deep River’ album and its inspiring LP cover. NB photos taken ‘Before My Train Comes’ to go back to London, King’s Cross ⬇️

Great walk along the river and lots of interesting food and other stalls

Nice place to check out. Food prices varies a lot. Got a huge double dog bun for £5! There’s also a leather smith whose been selling there for 5 decades. He is very entertaining and friendly. Bought 2 leather pouches for £4 each! Theres plenty of food stores to check out as well as small artisanal shops!

My photos don’t really do much justice for these Markets which are truly amazing in what’s offered. The food offered alone just looks incredible and so tasty, unfortunately we had brekkie earlier but this will not stop us coming back next time we visits our daughter in University here.

A good variety of different stalls and stands, the food section gives you heaps of choices and its a great location. Well worth a morning or afternoon out!

Excellent Sunday market, road closed off, so easy to navigate. Amazing range of market stalls, food stalls amazing and very diverse. Great views from the market along the Tyne. Lovely walk. Worth a visit.

Overall it’s fine but some of the people who run stalls have no care or consideration when people need to take the bus which does run this route. A woman totally blocking the road and arguing about whether or not she needs to move for public transport really isn’t it. People have lives they need to live. Remember that.

Came up for the weekend and stumbled on this great Sunday market. The whole place was buzzing and so many stalls to look at for gifts and souvenirs, plus loads of places selling sweet treats and a section of fantastic street food vendors. So much choice we struggled to choose and ended up going to 4 different places! Will be returning the next time I am in the north east on a Sunday for sure!

Very very artsy place. Definitely a place to visit to get your creative juices flowing! Art pieces all came with a pretty crazy price tag so for the rich artsy peeps why spend £500 on a balenciaga when you can get an exotic looking vase! Btw i love the animal pieces that were made using different materials to give cool textures

Parking is extremely difficult. On my visit I came with a lad in a wheelchair and two cars (neither had blue badges) were parked across where the disability bay is situated. There were no alternative spaces nearby. Once inside though the Biscuit Factory is a delight of exhibits by local artists. It's a lovely building to wander around. The cafe has a diverse menu and all our ordered meals were lovely. 5 stars for the gallery and cafe but a star off for parking

Lovely gallery and shop space with a cafe. Stopped in for just under an hour. Didn't visit the cafe this time as came early in the day and not long had breakfast, but enjoyed viewing the books and artwork, as well as checking the upcoming events. Parked a short walk from the location thinking we wouldn't get parked, but there was some spaces left.

Lovely place to go for some nice arts as well as food. I had Imam Bayeldi which was their special that day and it was gorgeous, very tasty and full of flavour. Staff were friendly too. Then looking at some arts which I think are work of local artist and they are lovely and very interesting.

Fantastic gallery, full of interesting, unique pieces. Also includes a great coffee shop, well worth a visit

We visited while we were staying in Newcastle for a few days. We often visit art galleries & I think many are getting better at being inclusive open to all rather than exclusive. This one is fantastic! The building and interior is inviting and as soon as we walked in we were welcomed and a member of the team told us about the gallery as we'd never been before. The artwork was accessible both in terms of viewing and purchasing with the option to pay with installments. We bought a gorgeous sculpture. It was a great experience. Unfortunately we live in Essex so can't go back regularly (there were so many beautiful pieces) but would definitely recommend visiting.

Great place if you like art and crafts quality goods lovely eating area nice food spent over 2 hours in there

The Lang Art Gallery is in a lovely building in the centre of Newcastle. The main part of the gallery is free and contains a variety of artworks. There is also a section where you can buy tickets. The current exhibition is ‘Romance to Realities’ where they are displaying art relating to the changing landscapes of the North. It was interesting to see paintings from Durham, Northumberland, and the Scottish boarders. I felt it was worth paying to see. The Gallery has a cafe but I cannot comment on this as I didn’t go in. The gift shop sold a selection of goods from books and cards to jewellery and bags. I travelled by train and it took less than 15 mins to walk from there.

We went today with my daughter because she loves art, and it was incredible. I think everyone should take their kids there to see so many historical pieces and amazing artwork. There are five different art rooms you can visit for free, and there are more exhibitions available if you’re willing to pay.

Free art gallery with a cafe and a shop. There's also an exhibition currently (With These Hands) that requires an admission charge, but I couldn't find information about it (on-site) so I chose not to visit it. However, the free exhibitions are nice on their own. Definitely worth a visit.

A really cool art gallery with some great Newcastle glass and pottery. Short walk from Manors and Monument stations. Good cafe as well! 😀

The Laing Art Gallery features an impressive mix of British art, from classic oil paintings to contemporary exhibitions. Housed in a charming Edwardian building, the gallery offers well-curated and informative displays. Admission is free, and the friendly staff make your visit even better. There’s also a cosy café to relax in after exploring the art, and a playroom for kids, which closes at 15:30 for cleaning. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy art in the heart of Newcastle.

Great gallery. Missed out on one star due to the gift shop not stocking much related to their own collection. Still a great place to visit.

I had a truly delightful morning at the Laing Art Gallery. The space is beautifully curated, with themed galleries providing the perfect setting for an engaging afternoon.

A Hidden Gem for a Woodland Walk in the City We visited in May and had a wonderful time! The paths were dry and easy to walk on , no wellies needed. We parked at Jesmond Dene House and enjoyed a lovely breakfast before heading out. The dene is literally just behind the hotel, making it super convenient. The walk itself is peaceful and scenic, with a few charming waterfalls along the way that really add to the atmosphere. A perfect little escape in the heart of the city such a lovely treat for a day out!

I have been coming here since I was a child It is still a beautiful place to come on a nice summer's day lots of places sit and lay down. All so has a petting zoo with pigs🐖 goats🐐 peacocks🦚 turkeys 🦃 and budgie's

Lovely park, an oasis in Newcastle with the river Ouseburn running through it. There is a little zoo with goats, peacocks, chooks and pigs. We didn't go in as we have 2 dogs but ideal for families etc. The park is beautifully shaded and there are enough entry points for dogs to get into the river for a splash/paddle. The waterfall and mill are lovely to see. We need to go back to visit parts we missed as I fell and hurt my leg and ankle on some uneven paving. My fault for not paying enough attention but there are a lot of uneven places throughout the park which would be difficult for those with limited mobility.

Jesmond Dene in Newcastle is a beautiful and peaceful green space just minutes from the city centre. With its winding woodland paths, river, waterfalls, and wildlife, it feels like a quiet escape from urban life. It’s perfect for walking, relaxing, or enjoying nature, and the atmosphere is especially calm compared to the busy streets nearby. Some parts can get crowded on weekends, but overall it’s one of the most charming and refreshing spots in the city. Felt overjoyed when i was there

Jesmond Dene is a beautiful spot if you love nature and fresh air. Walking through the park feels like escaping the city, with plenty of trees, greenery, and the peaceful river running through it. I really enjoyed the forest-like paths — it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys being surrounded by nature. That said, some parts of the park could use a bit of maintenance. The paths were quite dirty, and some of the wooden barriers along the river looked old and could be unsafe, so I hope they’re updated soon. Even with these small issues, I had a very enjoyable visit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing walk or a nature escape in Newcastle.”

We loved Jesmond Dene, have been frequent visitors and maybe we were less aware when our baby now toddler was in a pushchair but now they are not I can’t deal with the amount of irresponsible dog owners who have their dogs off leads, allow them to run up to our 2 year old and do nothing to retrieve the dog. We had one young couple a few weeks ago tell us their dog didn’t know what a child was, it was just getting used to them, did nothing to recall the dog or even bother to try and retrieve it - how they think that dog should be anywhere near a toddler. Another young couple sat at the picnic benches before the waterfall, dog under the table - we turn around and it is racing towards our toddler - they do absolutely nothing to retrieve it - they just seemed to think it was funny. They are animals you can’t say it will never snap at someone. Is it really worth a child being scarred for life and a dog being put to sleep because you can’t be in anyway sensible. Dogs should be on leads, if you have no recall and you can’t be bothered to act. Your walking along and too many times you can’t actually tell who a dogs owner is because the dog is running off and the owner is still 2 minutes behind them, not in sight - that’s not being a dog owner. Sick of being told ‘it’s ok’ ‘they are friendly’ - it’s ok until it’s not ok and by then it’ll be too late and the damage will already be done. Also read the situation you are scaring a child and for what pure laziness and lack of control. It’s happening too many times - we had it 3 times on one visit. We’ve stopped going now. Council, someone needs to be doing more to stop it. Ruined a lovely place with irresponsible idiots.

Great I went to the park with family and it was a great experience would 100% recommend great day out!

Very good burger, probably one of the best in this kind of restaurants. The ketchup is also very good. It’s really expensive for a fast food restaurant, though. There are seats on two floors, but we didn’t find a socket anywhere.

It was my first time eating here. The food was great and the peanuts that were in Raigat were a cool idea and it was the first time I had seen something like that. I want to see you again.

Kids and adults loved it Great drink choice, food made fresh and even better that you can refill your pop.

Absolutely delicious ! Everyone very friendly on my visit tonight. Spoke to some of the workers there and they were all lovely people. I’m very pleased with my food and will be returning again !

Don't eat at Five Guys often - just twice before I think. Just got fries and a milkshake while waiting to go back to London (tasted a burger previously and want a fan) Fries were just ok, really nothing special I felt unfortunately. Portion were not of legendary large size either but enough did the trick. Service and staff - they were very friendly and nice so no complaints there. The restaurant was virtually empty around 2300 on a Saturday night but just a good, non threatening atmosphere. Great as a pitstop but personally, I wouldn't drop loads of money on this simply as I don't think the food warrants the high price and there are better alternatives. I think Burger King is a better option for example. Definitely not great but not bad..

Came into five guys on Sunday for my lunch break . Overall great experience ordered a cheese burger and even got offered an extra patty for FREE along with extra fries ! Both men in the kitchen who were wearing black T shirts were super friendly and made my experience here so much better ! Can’t wait to come back !

✈️ Foodie & Traveler 💗 Instagram：lily850410 Little Cheese Burger £7.95 Regular Fries £5.45 Shakes £5.75 I love the burger and fries so much! The Oreo shake is just as sweet as I thought, haha. Exactly what I wanted!

We were on our way to the Glasshouse and decided to try here beforehand. We were not disappointed. Service was fantastic and the food was amazing. It will definitely not be our last visit and I would def recommend.

We were served a vegetarian feast in a calming, welcoming environment by conscientious and attentive waitstaff at Raval. We were assisted in ordering by the manager, who guided us based on our preferences and we were not disappointed. The Batata Bonda are not to be missed—light, crispy, and perfectly savory! Otherwise, the Panch-Mel Dal was the standout of our main dish choices, although all were memorable and delicious, including vegetable biryani. Highest recommendation for both food and service!

Lovely food and friendly staff. Clean restaurant. We always have a good visit.

If Zero rating was an option I would have given that to the food. My first & last order from here. Ordered by Deliveroo 3 dishes Chicken tikka masala, prawn gravy, paneer masala, all are sweet, I still can not process my Chicken tikka masala is sweet like sugar and curry doesn’t look what I saw in pictures. Disappointed beyond imagination. Ruined my dinner with friends. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE EVER.

Immediate impressions were good when greeted at the door and quickly taken to nice table. The service was excellent throughout. However, what stood out was the food which was delicious, fresh and one of the best Indian meals I have had. The lamb was so tender and really nicely spiced (but not too hot). I would recommend this place to family and friends alike.

Went with my daughter and we had a great evening. We were greeted at the door and had a seat in the lounge area. Our drinks arrived and we were offered a trio of sharing dips which were delicious. We ordered our food and were shown to our table. For starters we shared Agra Onion Bhajia and the Daja Chana Chaat. Delicious. We ordered the Nawabi Lamb Passanda and the Adoori Chicken Korma with House Pilau and Naan bread. The flavours were fantastic and the meat so tender. If your in Newcastle or Gateshead you must visit Raval. First class food and service. Highly recommended.

Like most people we stopped here to eat before going to a show at the glasshouse (or slug as our friends call it) we've not had an Indian meal for ages.. Golly it was a stupendous reintroduction to amazing food.. Greeted at the door, seated to peruse the menu with drinks. When we were ready we were escorted to our table. Wonderfully light and crispy poppadoms and amazing dips (they brought out some hot lime pickle just for me) an array of dishes that were lip smacking yummy.. My limited punjab was received warmly (I don't do swear words) 10/10 from us..

Busy pub, was at two of its spaces Clunny 2 and Clunny 1, full disabled access to all areas, staff were good, seating available in Clunny2 more of a standing venue in 1, but you can bring seats in from the bar, if you need to sit. Good car parking nearby.

What an absolutely amazing place. As a first time visit it was a bit maze like if you look around C2 as well with it's staircase but what a fantastic set up! Good selection if beers on cask and keg and a lovely looking pub. Then you go round the corner through what looks like a cupboard door and you are in a little music venue with it's own small bar. Brilliant atmosphere and absolutely loads going on, pretty much something every night. Absolute shining light for real ale and the music industry. (We saw Reverend Peyton and his Big Damn Band and they were superb.)

Nice bar with lots of drink choices. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Lots of seatting inside and out. Venue for bands is great. Decent sound and different capacity rooms available.

Lovely little venue, up close to the performing singers/groups...

Been here twice to see some live music. Very small gig room (can hold about 300 people) and it becomes hot very quick but still enjoyable! The drinks are on the pricier side but as to be expected. Overall good experience 🤩

Amazing food!!! Lovely vibes and friendly staff as well. Would recommend to anyone for a nice afternoon out.

This was a heck of a place, went to see Holy Moly and the Crackers here. Great non alcohol options, excellent vibe and a mosh pit. The staff were great, all was safe and I loved the decor, this place is seriously cool. I felt so like I was part of the ‘in’ crowd.

I ordered a food delivery from this place for dinner. The food was scrumptious, we enjoyed every bite of it. We had a chicken platter , hummus with chicken shawarma and a lamb shawarma wrap. The packaging was brilliant and the delivery was on time. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing customer service, the staff are very polite and made us feel comfortable, food arrived in good time even though it was quite busy. I had a great evening, unfortunately I don't have photos of the starters and main dishes we ordered but the meal and presentation was absolutely incredible.

Beirut Lounge @ 5 Heaton Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne NE6 1SA I was first introduced to hummus back in Malaysia by a Lebanese gentleman who opened a little homely store. Trying Lebanese cuisine brought me back there - and the array of Lebanese cuisine served is incredible. The ambience and the furniture in Beirut Lounge are lovely. Humus Moutabal - Grilled aubergine with tahini and lemon juice Lamb Biryani The portions are LARGE. Delicious cuisine, one that I'd surely recommend for Lebanese cuisine.

I absolutely love it here There is a large menu to choose from between hot and cold starters soups, as well as a mixture of mains. The staff are very friendly and work hard to ensure you have a great service when you are there. The food quality seems very good and is home made The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and portion size. Every time I go, I find myself buying different meals and all the food I have tried so far has been fantastic. They serve soft drinks here but do not serve alcohol, so if you did want alcohol you would need to take your own. I have been here over 6 times over the last year and I absolutely cannot recommend it enough, I will continue to visit! I would absolutely recommend

I recently visited this restaurant, amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Everything I tried was delicious. I highly recommend it!

Excellent food and great service, everything was amazing quality and would definitely recommend

Biryani and chicken wings are nice. Biryani has a special taste not indian style but maybe Lebanese style (loved it ). A bit costly. Overall , i loved it, will visit again.
