Crown Posada
A snug, characterful Victorian real ale pub in Newcastle, best suited to a quiet visit with older children.

Brasserie · Newcastle upon Tyne
There's a proper buzz to this Quayside spot, and the team lean into families rather than tolerating them — one visit saw the kitchen let the children make their own pizzas, which went down a storm. Buggies get in fine, high chairs are there, and the kids' menu and vegan options cover most tables. It's lively, so a noisy toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room, though weekend evenings can mean a short wait even with a booking. The king prawn bruschetta and the salmon rigatoni come up again and again, the lamb shank falls off the bone (it arrives without vegetables, so order a side), and the sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce is worth saving room for. Do check the bill — a 10% tip is added automatically.
