Banyan Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

Arrived here with my husband for Bottomless Brunch and we were greeted in a friendly manner by Ellie. We were shown to our seats and menus explained. The ambience is lovely and we both opted for the deluxe burger with fries and rhubarb crumble with ice cream for dessert. The food was lovely and good presentation. We had selection of cocktails we could choose from and also option for prosecco. Drinks were lovely, and Ellie also served us and was polite, friendly and fabulous service. We didn't realise it was restaurant week when we had booked and although it was busy it did not affect service. This was our first visit and we would come back again. Thankyou chef's for great food also.

Good for a chill vibe. Great music. Alot of choice for starter and mains. There was food under the table and on the chairs which we had to remove before we sat down. The chips seemed like they were bottom of the barrel and quite greasy and crunchy but the burgers were lovely. And the cheesecake was 10/10! Basic cocktails eg mojito, margarita etc aren't in the 2 for 1 which was a bit of a let down and off-putting as the cocktails that are in the offer have various things in that we werent able to have. However, the cocktails we did opt for were great for the mostpart. The waitress did get my order wrong and spilt a drink on me.

First visit to Banyan on a recommendation for bottomless brunch - this area is reserved upstairs and we were shown to a booth where our glasses were immediately filled with Prosecco ! We were served by the lovely Josh who couldn’t of done anymore for us - first class, friendly cheerful service - he was attentive and funny - the cocktails were fab, the burger was ok but we didn’t go for the food - the afternoon was brilliant 🤩

Want a fruity, refreshing summer vodka cocktail? Get the BERRY COLLINS. Congrats to the guy who made us a matching pair of these on the night of Monday 8th July. You totally nailed it. Also great drinks menu, friendly staff and plenty of comfy seats.

This is the 2nd time I’ve been for a bottomless brunch at Banyon and this time was just as fantastic - we were a large booking so everything was pre ordered and paid for which was so much easier. Drinks were plentiful - staff super friendly and were always happy to order us more drinks even if we hadn’t quite finished the ones we had. We all said we’d had a fantastic time. Food is good too.

Our waitress first class very attentive and pleasant, on the other hand £40 pp paid for weak cocktails and awful food we all paid the £5 extra for certain sandwiches my steak sandwich a ciabatta bun with 4 strips of steak which were not tender at all no sandwich dressing with a clump of rocket lettuce on top Very very disappointing save your money go else where

Food really good. Service great. Drinks flowed. A small mix up with cocktails but soon sorted Would definitely return.

Cocktails weak, like juice. Watched the waitress make them and she didn’t fill the Measures! Glasses only half full so the 2 for 1 is a scam!

Me and the girls had a lovely time. Grace H was our waitress and she was fabulous, so attentive and made sure we got our money worth for our brunch!!

I went to banyans with my family to have some lunch the burgers were very nice and I would recommend ordering but the club sandwich I wasn't to impressed with the chicken was very hard which it shouldn't be also the TV was way to loud we had to shout to be able to hear eachother we asked to turn it down but they refused but to be fair the waitress we had was lovely she was polite and kind which was good also the food took quite a while to bring out .

Shocking service! My husband bought 2 pornstar cocktails, he knocked his tiny shot of Prosecco over (whilst paying at the bar and was told by the barmaid that as it was his fault she couldn’t refill. With service like that would not return. We’d planned to stay a few hours but went next door to the Botanist instead.

Never been here before and booked for a 7pm meal on a Saturday evening. Walking in and the downstairs was heaving, purely for drinking and part of a Saturday night pub crawl for most I guess. Upstairs had the dining area but we soon found ‘drinking only’ and the associated noise soon started to fill this area too. What was meant to be a nice meal for 2 became an incredibly noisy experience where food was consumed quickly and we moved on as soon as we could. This was such a shame as the food was really nice. The Botanist is next door and provides a far better dining experience.

Had the best night here. The food was beautiful and James the waiter was very attentive making sure everyone always had a drink. James was so friendly and happy every time he came to the table

Absolutely wonderful night out. James our waiter was attentive and we had the best night for a friends birthday. Thank you and would definitely come again. Huge thank you to James. Amazing experience :)

Food very average- stake was over cooked I requested medium rare, didn’t send back as all of our table had received their food and I didn’t want to hold everyone up. Should not have to send food back if cooked properly. I requested to change my onion rings out for something else of the same price, I was told No. Management should really consider how to make the customer experience a positive one. Staff were friendly and we enjoyed our drinks, but there was no incentive or suggestions made by staff/manager for us to stay and continue to spend our money at Banyan- felt like after you eat your food the attitude is on your way, we have no intention to extend your experience at Banyan. I would not recommend or visit again for food based on my personal experience.

Great food, great service, staff were lovely, always really nice coming here, love the atmosphere in this bar too. Probably one of my favourite bars in Newcastle

Saturday morning breakfast for three, premises more or less empty so straight to a table. Staff efficient and friendly, no delay in taking drinks order quickly followed by the food order. A Shakshuka ordered which tasted good, very Mexican! A couple of poached eggs on toast and a cooked breakfast washed down with cups of tea. Competitively priced, would return.

Service slow despite lack of clientele, starters came out as and when rather than together, constantly chasing up drinks orders and whole main was missing from our order with no compensating actions to bring the group back onside. Overall a lovely looking g place but let down by staff organisation through front of house and kitchen. Will not be visiting again.

Lovely cocktails, casual atmosphere. Service was great and the cocktail deals are good - we’ve eaten here a few times and loved the Sunday lunch!

We booked this as part of a hen weekend for bottomless brunch. Upon arrival, we were seated upstairs in a really pretty part of the restaurant. Almost immediately, we all were given a glass of prosecco while the waitress (Neve - absolutely one of the best servers I've had ever!) went through the cocktails available and what was in them. They weren't the usual 'woo woo' or 'sex on the beach' - they were thought out cocktails that seemed to cater for a range of tastes. So cocktails ordered, Neve tops up my prosecco already and they bring the cocktails over - so nice! Then food arrived (we had pretty ordered), it was fresh and good quality. More prosecco and I was only half finished my cocktail when they asked for our next order. This was just on repeat for the rest of our stay there. Service was outstanding, drinks were amazing, ambience was lovely and I honestly couldn't recommend the bottomless brunch any more! Worth every penny!

Visited on a Wednesday evening, full of drinkers and lead right to the back of the restaurant through the smoke plume right at the front door. It was not a great start. Ordered a selection of tapas type foods… nothing made on premises, everything just reheated food stuffs… I imagine they’d give ICELAND a run for their money. The restaurant is more like a poor karaoke bar however with rock power ballads… seriously! Thé restaurant has no identity just a menu of stodge. Support independents which we do unless last minute. Wont be back.

We had looked for somewhere to eat & most places full or closed on a Friday afternoon. We where greeted nicely at door & shown straight to a booth by the window. Menu's on table so when drink order was taken we where also ready to order food. Drinks arrived promptly food a short wait, my pie ,veg & chips where hardly warm which made pie hard to eat although it was full of meat but dry. We where also shocked to find tip included in price. Read menu carefully.

We decided to go for a spot of lunch on a Sat afternoon after looking at various restaurants in the town centre. We were taken to a booth and placed an order for food we were seated at 13.50 and at 1400 a staff member came across to say that the booth was booked for someone else at 1500 and she needed vacated by 1450 and bill paid! I asked why this was not mentioned to us when we first came in etc as she was the one that greeted us and showed us to the table - I then spoke to the Manager who was standing greeting people and explained the situation his response well an hour is plenty of time to order and eat food! I pointed out this was unacceptable and there was no apology or understanding. The food came out at 1420 and we had to rush eating as at 1445 the staff starting hanging around close to us to want to clear the table! Nothing like pressure! Awful experience and defo won't be going back - customer service was zero percent and needless to say no tip was left even though it was not the waiting staffs fault - avoid at all costs much better places to go for food - we were made to feel like an inconvenience and I wish we had left without eating there was not even a gesture of goodwill given of free drinks which would have helped the situation - just want your money and then out the door!!!

Good venue with friends 2 for 1 cocktail offer, good, friendly service, was very busy but we were well looked after by the staff

This was a fantastic venue. It was hot as hell outside but the air con was amazing inside. The welcome was great and atmosphere was perfect. We sat at the exact time we had booked and the guy who served us was happy to put up with us and made it feel effortless. Wish I'd taken his name now but we sat at 2.30pm under the name Timothy and he was an absolute star. Thanks to him our time was a real treat. Also, the food was perfect so Banyan, we will be back and we will recommend you to anyone and everyone 🌈🎉

We started a hen day off here....service was unbelievable....but Kate went above and beyond....nothing was a problem..and went out of her way to sort a food mix up....that was our mistake....constantly checked to see if we needed a refill....a credit to the team

Started with poor service, staff weren’t exactly unfriendly but not exactly friendly either, just one word replies and quickly went off despite it not being that busy. We could only order from the brief brunch menu as it was 11:30, which was fine. Ordered the...

this is a loud friendly pub with pub grub, not the cheapest but not expensive. we had just walked out of a restaurant due to lack of service so was really pleased by someone actually taking our drinks order straight away. of course of drink...

Came here on a midweek evening with a group from work. Staff were really attentive and got served drinks in no time, took food orders, no mistakes and the meals were all great, no complaints. Would recommend.

Four of us were here on a Saturday night for a meal. We were a little concerned when we walked into a definite party bar, but once taken upstairs to the restaurant it was a much more relaxed atmosphere! A good selection of 2 for...

Terrible service! We were shocked how rude and dismissive they were. Won’t be returning. Food was ok, wine overpriced.

Ame here with my daughter and had a lovely experience. The service was amazing and so friendly. We had about 2 servers, although I’m sorry we only got Jennifer’s name who was lovely. We got the 3 sharing plates and the food was delicious and...

Brilliant lunch food lovely and service from Asta was excellent would definitely come back Girls trip next year 🥳

Came here for breakfast thinking it would be the same as the banyan in Manchester. Oh dear what a let down.arrived at 10.10am waitress took our order cold coffee arrived at 10.25 breakfast finally arrived at 10.50.Poached eggs were hard as was my partners fried...

Took ages before the waitress even bothered to take my order. Took a gin tonic as aperitivo. advertised cocktails, but a side mole Negroni was unheard off. My main food order followed shortly after. Thai food, but no spoon. Rice hard an not even jasmin...

We do a friends night out every Christmas and this year was Newcastle. I cannot remember exactly what we ordered, I think it may have been the festive feast? It was so delicious, full of flavour and the cocktails were amazing. I would only suggest...

Came in with my wife for a few drinks and food. Was not expected to be served by such a miserable young boy. If you want your customers to come back, consider giving your staff extra customer service training.

Meal with friends before going to the pantomime at THE theatre Royal. 3 of us had the steak pie 2 with chips and 1 with mash. All declared the best steak pie and cleared our plates.

Table service was awful. Extremely long waiting, cold coffee and they made joke of us. Strongly suggested not to come.

Pornstar martinis watered down - couldn’t taste a drop of alcohol. Prosecco flat. Staff MISERABLE. Girl with glasses stood and stared at us for ages and then spent the night waddling around bitching about other paying customers. Decent music. ‘Manager’ seems very inexperienced and the...

Excellent cocktails and tasty small plates . Just what we wanted before attending a gig in Newcastle . Excellent friendly staff . One of our favourite cocktail bars in Newcastle .

Long waiting times in between ordering drinks, drinks taste like watered down fizzy juice. Not much choice for "cocktails' £35 for the basic bare minimum we received. 15+ people drinking for 2 hours & not 1 person feeling tipsy ( quite convinced we've just been...

Rated 1 as no lower! 24 came for bottomless brunch, not one single person tipsy! Drinks where juice, 30 quid and bloated with pop, 100% would not recommend the bottomless brunch unless you enjoy pop!

My hubby and I recently visited banyan with a friend visiting from Ireland. We had 2 4 1 cocktails and the salted caramel espresso Martini's where beautiful. Good wise I had a Korean fried chicken burger which was delicious. We Will definitely be back again.

Overall experience terrible. Staff who were serving our table were helpful, but, we paid around £38 each for the 'Bottomless Supper' but many of us only received 4/5 drinks in the hour and a half. The range of drinks on offer are poor, the majority...

Fabulous Experience for huge group of friends! Made an online booking for 26 people (Large Group Booking) which then results in receiving a very nice phone call from one of the members of staff to run through what kind of experience your looking for etc....

My boyfriend booked a surprise bottomless brunch for my birthday, for us and my friends and we had such a lovely time. The staff had decorated the tables beautifully and were very attentive, they even gave me some free cocktails of my choice. The food...

Only had drinks, not the best, typical of "Chain style" cocktails, however 2 for 1, but still only gets an average. Busy place for a monday afternoon. Not the best choice for a classy option, similar to a walkabout

We enjoyed this place, for lunch. Good variety and tasty food. Not too many options though for a lactose & gluten free person.

I visited here today with my mum and aunty for a light snack and a drink. We ordered via the app, three drinks, two portions of chips and chicken skewers. We waited fifty minutes for the food to arrive, bearing in mind we didn’t even...

Great choice of cocktails at bottomless brunch. Big thanks to our waitress, Abigail, who kept us topped up and made sure we had a brilliant time!

Abigail was amazing at banyan, service was honestly perfect everything came so fast and she was lovely girl.

I made an online inquiry about booking a table for my partner's birthday which was never got back to. I then rang to chase up my booking, for 12 people, and was assured by the host that this was fine, and I could just come...

Waited an hour for a very dry chicken schnitzel and a bowl of pasta. Chicken in the pasta was horrible, really weird texture like it was processed, similar to cheap supermarket precooked sandwich chicken, definitely not fresh. No pine nuts in it as advertised. Similar...

We waited 45 minutes for our lunch to be served and when it arrived, my chicken skewer was raw. I don’t mean a little pink, it was completely raw. It was sent back to the kitchen and the Manager apologised and refunded me inc a...

Came for bottomless brunch over bank holiday weekend. The waitress took a bit of time to warm up to us but she was very friendly by the end - might have been she was tired because of how busy it was all weekend! The drinks...

I ate here today with my family. The restaurant was not busy. Waited 55 minutes for our food. The food quality did not justify the wait. It was below average and not worth the cost. Some staff were leaning against the bar playing with their...

A great day out in Newcastle. Made much better by a few hours in this bar, cracking atmosphere great service friendly staff. Loved it.

The cocktails and variety of food on the menu is excellent and can all be ordered using your phone, we found the food very overpriced for the area however, we chose brie wedges to share but when we received them we only had two small...

Nice place to visit and good food, great location too! Very much enjoyed our meal, it was a good evening.

Me and friends visited for bottomless brunch in March and the waitress couldn’t of been better! She was really friendly and we were never without drinks, she recommended ones she like and she was just really lovely, I think her name was Caitlin. Give her...

Visited recently on a visit to Newcastle for bottomless brunch. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful explaining the menu to us and helping with any recommendations. Food was absolutely delicious with plenty of options to choose from on the bottomless brunch menu. Our waitress...

As soon as we came in, the lady at the reception said to just go upstairs and someone is going to help me find our table but it wasn’t the case. We waited like probably 10minutes but no one helped us until I approached someone...

great food and drinks. very modern. prices are ok too with it being in the city. seemed a bit quiet but that was probably the day.

Visited on a busy Saturday afternoon, plenty of staff available, served in turn at the bar, friendly, helpful staff. Lots of tables reserved but still found somewhere to enjoy our drinks. A overall pleasant experience.

Lovely drinks and food, one staff member extremely rude wasn’t interested in serving us clearly didn’t want to be at work and acted as if our table was a nuisance to her.

It was nice of Banyan folk to write me a little note, I don't know if they were going for 2:10 and changed it to 2:00 but it gave me a little chuckle. My husband enjoyed Sunday lunch and I had a lovely Banyan burger,...

Friendly and attentive staff. My friend and I had the Sunday roast (beef) and it was OK but luke warm. The gravy came in a separate pot which wasn't particularly warm either. Both the children enjoyed their kids menu choices. Unfortunately I would not return...

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Staff were extremely friendly. We had calamari which was delicious. 2 for 1 cocktails were great. Options to order both through your phone and with the waiter. Beautiful restaurant.

Constantly visit this bar when in town. Great service, atmosphere, food and drinks selection. Highly recommended for a short or long evening of relaxing drinks and food. *****

Booked a table for 9 and were seated in a lovely booth upstairs. Was busy with a good atmosphere downstairs and had a couple of cocktails before heading up. Cocktails were great and well put together. Service upstairs was ok, but we had to keep...

Went to Banyan 24 Feb with some friends to celebrate the end of Covid restrictions - two of us ordered Banyan colada’s which were served with crushed ice. However, when they arrived there was very little alcohol but a lot of ice. Asked the Manager,...

Went for a bottomless brunch, staff were amazing and friendly and service was immaculate. Will be going there again

Food and staff are always amazing every time I go to Banyan’s. But the cocktails are the best thing about mine and my friend’s afternoons out. Jonathan the manager is always welcoming and has a smile for all.

Came for my birthday! Bottomless brunch, Abigail was so attentive and friendly, would deffo come back! X

We had an absolutely fabulous waitress called Abigail! She made sure we always had drinks and was so friendly and considerate! We'd recommend Banyans to anyone for bottomless Brunch! :)

Abigail was an amazing waitress who made our friends birthday the most amazing day could not recommend banyan and Abigail enough

Ordered a fajita wrap and a coke from here on a Saturday lunchtime. The fajita wrap was just “ok” but nothing flash and the chips were luke warm. At £10.50 it was way too expensive for what we got. Also got charged £3.25 for a...

what an amazing bottomless brunch! We had Abigail as a waitress who truly never let us see the bottom of our glasses. Had an amazing birthday celebration with a free brownie too :) couldn't recommend more!

We had a fabulous time at bottomless brunch, we were never short of a drink thanks to Abigail our server! We will definitely be returning, the cocktails were gorgeous and the food was great!!

Great bottomless brunch so much fun, Abigail was great made sure we never had an empty glass! Thank you so much, we will definitely be back

Such fun time for our friends Birthday. Very good service Abigail could not do enough for us will definitely be returning. Thank you 😊

My wife and myself walked in at 4.45 pm on weds 19th January , went to bar and ordered drinks , then proceeded to a table in one of the booths by the window and sat and enjoyed our drinks , decided to get another...

Beautiful atmosphere and amazing customer service. All staff are very welcoming and nice. Food came out quickly and looked and tasted beautiful

We went here for our Christmas meal so wasn't expecting much but the meal was lovely. It was all very tasty and will certainly be back to try the main menu. Staff were very good and service was great.

Have been wanting to try here for such a long time and eventually went yesterday, 22 December. One meal was cold, child’s burger was very over cooked and I can’t decide whether the bun was stale or way over toasted! My meal was tiny considering...

Visited on 11th Decemberand both myself and my friend ordered the same meal, a few hours later I was violently sick. Couple hours later my frend started vomiting, we had both had the same meal from the very limited menu. Another friend had eaten something...

This is a great bar, there is excellent. Slur on the cocktails with the happy hour offer. There’s ample space, good service, very clean and lovely decor. A great place to pop to for a drink. A couple of things that would have made it...

Had Christmas Dinner here last night. £30 for three courses. The starter (smoked salmon) was great but the main was absolutely tiny and cold , with only a spoonful of gravy (see photo attached). We asked for more gravy and it arrived after we had...

Called in with my wife Christine after going to the Theatre Royal, staff were very polite and courteous. We both opted for the Christmas special of Turkey sandwich , came with cranberries and melted cheese and was delicious, drinks at a reasonable price.

Nice bar Seated at a well lit table by a polite waitress. Starters were very nice. My main of grilled cod was fine but my wife ordered mushroom pasta which was microwaved to death and inedible. Mentioned this but still received the full bill. On...

Finding myself at a loose end on a cold Thursday night I ended up in Banyan. Their 2 for 1 cocktail deal lured me in and their pie sounded good. I was able to secure a table, although it was quite busy and larger parties...
