Island Poke in Newcastle upon Tyne

One of the good pub/club in Newcastle upon Tyne. Located in the centre of the city. Easily accessible and a good atmosphere.

Not a coffee only shop. Visited on a Tuesday morning, did not recognise the young lady behind the counter so no reason to believe she would recognise me. We have frequently called in over the last couple of years. There were a couple of free tables but we're told they were not serving "coffee only". I suppose they would rather have people eating breakfast, understandable but rather a short term outlook. Next week the place may be empty and they would love my business but they will not be seeing us again. Good luck if that is your policy.

Great prices for such a high quality of food. Burgers and fries are always top notch, also comes with a good selection of sauces and dips. Desserts look great, and there's always a great special on the menu.

Another great visit. We had booked and it was busy - 4pm Saturday. Lovely helpful waiter. We had prawn cocktail & oysters to start. Both great. Loads of prawns in cocktail. Really fresh oysters. Shared big cut porterhouse for mains. Chips and salad included. Shared a delicious marrow bone gravy too. Steak was perfect. We ordered medium rare or as chef advised and it was slightly more towards medium. The rump side had perfectly rendered fat. Sirloin melted in the mouth. It’s an expensive meal but top quality food,service & wines.

Everything from entry to departure is spot on. Have a few drinks there asap. You wont be disappointed.
