Newcastle and Gateshead boasts an abundance of fine food and drink all year round, but it’s a particularly special place to eat, drink and be merry over the festive season with endless festive food and drink options to choose from.
Tuck into tasty delicacies at Christmas venues across the region. Indulge in celebratory meals at some of the best restaurants who are waiting to serve you a cracking Christmas meal. Blackfriars Newcastle have a truly rustic, hearty Christmas menu available, or visit Newcastle's Christmas Markets for a taste of some of the city's seasonal street food. Worked up a thirst? Pop into Moosenwirt, an alpine-inspired pop-up bar set inside a yurt near Grey's Monument.
For a festive meal with a difference, why not indulge in Italian hospitality at Gino's on the banks of the river; it’s snow secret it’ll be a popular choice this winter! Treat yourself to a range of Christmas cocktails at top bars like Livello and Social Bird, who are both created seasonal cocktail menus showcasing festive flair and flavours.
Catch up with friends and enjoy sumptuous Christmas afternoon teas at venues including The Vermont Hotel and Jesmond Dene House.
Leave the dishes for someone else and book Christmas Day lunch with many of the hotels and restaurants in Newcastle, Gateshead and the north east. If you’re feeling extra Santa-mental, then why not dine with the big man himself who will be making a special appearance this season. Many venues offer families the chance to have Christmas breakfast or lunch with Father Christmas, so book now before it’s too late!
