The Broad Chare

You'll find this beautifully restored medieval building tucked down on the quayside, where the cobbles meet the Tyne. Step inside and you're hit with that perfect balance of old-world charm and modern comfort – exposed beams overhead, worn wooden floors underfoot, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to settle in for the evening. The kitchen takes Newcastle's gastropub scene seriously, turning out dishes that champion local suppliers without any unnecessary fuss. Think Northumberland lamb that's been treated with respect, fresh seafood that tastes of the North Sea, and puddings that'll make you reconsider your dinner plans. The beer selection backs up the food perfectly, with local ales sitting alongside carefully chosen wines. It's the sort of place where you can bring your parents for Sunday lunch or meet mates for a proper catch-up.
