The Hancock

About The Hancock

Cheap pints, cheap pizza and enough space to park a pram without apologising — this Newcastle pub does the simple things properly. It's a student-leaning crowd, but a polite one, and it rarely feels rammed outside big match nights, so a weekday lunch with kids in tow is genuinely doable. The pizzas get the loudest praise (2-for-1 deals are unheard of round here), along with the pulled pork flatbread and the fries. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, and a pleasant outdoor area for when little ones need to wriggle. Staff come up again and again as warm and genuinely helpful — one visitor had a dropped wallet handed straight back. Worth knowing: it's a proper pub with big screens, so evenings and televised games get loud and boozy. Come early, eat well, leave before the crowd builds.
