Gastropub · Newcastle upon Tyne
There's a proper old-fashioned pub feel downstairs, with locally brewed ales, bar snacks made on site and a warm, easy atmosphere — fine for a pram and a wander while you wait. The dining room upstairs is where families tend to settle, with high chairs and a kids' menu that runs to things like a small burger or cod and chips rather than the usual freezer fare. Sunday roasts get the loudest praise: succulent beef and lamb, silky mash, greens cooked with care. Sharing pies and the lamb main are enormous, and the staff will happily wrap up leftovers. Two honest snags — the upstairs acoustics mean you'll be raising your voice at a busy weekend, and it isn't cheap, though most feel the quality earns it. Book ahead; people do get turned away.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Roomy quayside pub with booths, fast-arriving burgers and gyros, a kids' menu, and Millennium Bridge views — drinks aren't cheap.
