Food and drink in Newcastle and Gateshead

Life feels like it is almost back to normal following the reopening of hundreds of restaurants, cafes and food stalls across Newcastle and Gateshead. Whether it's Indian cuisine, fine-dining or street food you've been missing - there are a number of excellent restaurants and cafes that are open including award-winning favourites, Blackfriars and Dobson & Parnell, both in Newcastle. Treat yourself to a lazy brunch at Ouseburn cafe Ernest or head to South Causey Inn for a magical dining experience in their exclusive Bubble Pods. If it's a big juicy burger your looking forward to, Fat Hippo (Underground and Jesmond branch) and new restaurant, Meat: Stack will hit the spot. A number of pubs and bars, like Wylam Brewery at Palace of Arts, Stack Newcastle and Banyan, have begun to reopen serving both food and drinks, cocktails and pints.

There will be some changes to the way you dine out in NewcastleGateshead too with restaurants adapting how they cater for visitors. Expect to pre-book in advance, limited numbers to group bookings, changes to menus and table service only at most places you visit. Some restaurants and cafes will be making good use of their outdoor space and offer more space for al fresco dining. Listings will be updated on our website with the relevant safety measures for each restaurant, cafe and pub as well as details of how you can plan your meal out to ensure you have the best experience.

As a result of the coronavirus lockdown, many of NewcastleGateshead's restaurants, cafes and bars changed how they operated to provide a wider range of tasty takeaway, delivery and collection only meals. More and more of your favourite places to eat in Newcastle and Gateshead offered safe takeaways including Afternoon Tea and even craft beer! It is worth noting that some of the restaurants and cafes may understandably focus their energies on reopening for indoor diners and no longer serve takeaways so check with the venue directly if you're unsure.
