Nest Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

Just been here for a little celebratory meal with my friend (promotions and birthdays) and cannot find a single fault. The atmosphere is lovely and cosy, the service impeccable and the food and wine amazing. Want to come back asap

Me and my partner had Sunday roast and both agreed it was one of the best Sunday roasts we have ever eaten. The drinks were also nice, both alcoholic and soft. Both of our soft drink glasses were not clean. I believe that they had been cleaned poorly and were covered in fluff from the cleaning cloth and fingerprints from the cleaner. Our table was very wobbly, the lovely waitress did try to fix it, but this should be sorted for future customers (table 1 I believe) It was a long 3 month wait for Sunday lunch, the food was definitely worth the wait! There are just a few things which need brushing up on as mentioned above....

UNREAL. Absolutely everything is perfect from the food & drink to the attentive service. Will be back!

Excellent Sunday Lunch.Staff very pleasant and helpful. Service great Lovely venue

Really enjoyed our meal at Nest - a fantastic tasting menu which had wonderful wine pairings with all the dishes! All the food was of really great quality and delicately prepared, the staff were excellent and very attentive and the atmosphere was perfect - lovely casual vibes! Will definitely be returning!

Superb tasting menu. Superb staff. Brilliant atmosphere. What a gem this restaurant is!

Every cost just seems to get better, amazing food, wine & staff.

Excellent Sunday lunch at this great restaurant. Wonderful addition to the Newcastle food scene.

Lovely Sunday Lunch at Nest today x amazing lamb and pork meals with a great selection of fresh vegetables followed by desserts, apple and prune crumble was particularly good. Two by Two draught lager was a pleasant surprise, atmosphere was informal and relaxed with excellent service and friendly staff. Looking forward to a return visit soon x

We recently enjoyed the vegetarian tasting menu and what a treat!! Delicious, clever, great looking food. Where there’s a dill there’s a way, in particular, was special. Very tasty drinks pairing and knowledgeable staff. This is an intimate venue with a really enjoyable vibe. Looking forward to returning soon.

Friends have been urging me to visit Nest for a long while and now I understand why. They serve outstanding food, have a good selection of drinks and service is excellent. The balance is spot on. It's quite a compact restaurant, so well worth reserving well ahead of a visit. I ate Sunday lunch and enjoyed the experience. Ultimately, I thought it was a fine example of a hospitality business that has got what it does and how it goes about doing it nailed.

Yet again team at Nest deliver! This really is the best Sunday lunch. The consistency of this team on all levels is unbelievable. I’ve never had a bad or below excellent time here - food, service, atmosphere. Just brilliant. Sorry no photos but I can tell you every plate was cleared!

Once again Nest knocks it out of the park. An absolutely beautiful place with incredible staff. The food is always insanely good, can't wait to come back! Thank you for having us and the communal soup 🤣

Best place in the area so far. I’m looking for words, but I feel they’re too poor to describe the festivities in my mouth! Pure symphony of tastes!

The Sunday lunch was amazing, and service was excellent!

We had such an amazing experience. Each tasting session was divine and each meal so delicious. The customer service was fabulous too.

Went tonight to try Nest's new Bistro Nights - 3 course menu selection instead of their normal tasting menu. Each dish was superb - excellent flavours, lovely presentation, and the ideal amount of food to have all 3 courses. It was delicious and well priced - 10/10, definitely book!

Waited a long time to get booked on a Sunday. Heard lots of really good feedback about this place and It did not disappoint. A big thumbs up, hope the next wait is not as long

We both absolutely loved the whole night! 8 Courses, for tasting menu, we finished everything. Perfect sizes of food portions. Small cosy restaurant where everyone is fed together. The Chefs did a fantastic job of presenting the food, all courses were delicious, and served hot. The table staff were pleasant, friendly and polite. Wrong drink brought, but quickly swapped for the one I asked for, when highlighted. The monkfish and pork were my favourites on the night, while the other half loved the sea trout and the "egg" dessert. Toilets were ample big enough, well done out and clean. Posh hand soap and lotion for the ladies 😁 Advise booking well in advance for a table if it's a special occasion. The only complaint we had were staffs bottoms in our faces when they were waiting on the tables next to us so they could maybe lose the middle table in the window, but apart from that, we know which table to avoid when we return again when baked alaska is next on the menu.

Our first visit here and it won't be our last. Food was outstanding. Service was a bit mixed with the waiter serving between tables and very close to knocking stuff over on our table. Waitress didn't seem to have this problem.

Best tasting menu of many we have had

Lovely lunch tasting menu at a really reasonable price compared to other places. Bit out of the way but definitely worth the trip

We had the most amazing evening, the food was an absolute delight and the staff were so professional and friendly. A big thank you to you all for making this a night to remember. 😘

We have just spent what can only be described as a perfect evening celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary at Nest. The food was as you would expect with a 5 month waiting list for a table nothing short of superb. To chose a favourite dish would be like trying to choose a favourite child - just impossible, every one was loved equally. The service from Josh & Tom was seamless but most importantly informative and very friendly. Booked again for November now for the wife’s birthday and it can’t come soon enough. Thank you to all the team at Nest.

We went for lunch tasting menu, vegetarian. Very good selection of vegetarian dishes nicely presented and delicious to eat. Loved the red pesto that came with focaccia bread. Very friendly staff.

Lovely tasting menu and matchig wines. Phenomenal value for money.

We went for the lunch tasting menu while visiting from the USA It was tasty and very reasonably priced! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only criticism I would give was a lot of the dishes had a similar texture.

1st time in this type of dining experience, we the 9 course taster menu ir was fantastic

Fabulous meal this evening with a well thought out wine flight. Some really special dishes with the sea trout being a favourite. Looking forwards to visiting again.

Cold food too cold . Hot food tepid ! Fish dish tasteless . Do not know what the attraction is . Waiting staff unkempt and ill informed.

Lunch started at 1 and finished at 3:30 Food was alright but service was slow.

There’s a waiting list for Sunday lunch - and it’s obvious why you have to book so far in advance. Great food, pork was superb (and the cracking was spot on 🐷). Great value, good drinks menu and top staff.

Lovely tasting menu and it has a very intimate settings which is great for celebratory meals.

Absolutely stunning venue, great staff with excellent food and drink knowledge. The food is delightful and an all round great experience!

Just home after experiencing the best meal we have ever had. Last year we had the ten course tasting menu at the Shaun Rankin Restaurant at Grantley Hall. The Nest experience was far superior in every way and very good value for money. A beautiful meal in relaxed surroundings and excellent service from friendly and very knowledgeable staff.

Great dishes, good variety, good service

Really enjoyed lunch today. Very tasty and good value for money. Going to go back for dinner x

Food was unbelievable!!! Decor very nice and service very attentive.

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday Dinner. Well worth the wait to get a table, booked in November for April. Don't let this put you off

Perfection. The environment, the staff, the food - superlative. I have never enjoyed such different, creative and delicious food. Wonderful vegetarian lunch. Staff, from chef through to all the others were immaculate. If you gat an opportunity - take it - for an experience you will find hard to match

The Sunday lunch is amazing. Excellent quality and great value for money.

Excellent food and service and a reasonabke price

Fine dining at a reasonable price 👌

Well fed and looked after. We've been four times now. Twice for Sunday lunch, once for Lunch and once for the full tasting menu and wineflight. My wife says the prawn cocktail is the best she has ever had. Im a huge fan of the Yorkshires, the sticky stout pudding and pretty much everything else. Ive just remembered the cheese board! The tasting menu is exceptional. Normally, I wouldn't eat trout, if you paid me, but, here its a pink prawn like, gentle flavour, with a crispy skin, filleted to perfection. I learned loads about wine and the cheeky raspberry beer at the end has turned my wife into a belgian real ale disciple. The place is almost rocking by the end of the night, as everyone comes to the same conclusion, that they may have just had one of the best meals of their life. The service is so inobtrusive and swift, you go to pour yourself a drink and its already been done and you hadn't noticed. We are booked in again for our wedding anniversary and really looking forward to being back.

Ver good service but in my opinion the tasting menu is very overpriced for the taste of the food. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but the price did not match my expectations. Just a bit over average but very good alternative in a street full of take aways. We want more places like this in Heaton!

Fantastic quality food with wonderful flavours.

Very good value for money for a tasting menu! We had a nice Saturday dinner here with attentive, friendly service and tasty, inventive dishes. They got the decor and ambiance just right, it’s cosy but modern and feels very inviting. The 8 course tasting menu was extremely generous, maybe too much, we were absolutely stuffed to the brim by the end of the meal. The bass took the top spot for us, it was cooked to perfection and paired perfectly with a vegetable hash and cauliflower purée. But not everything hit the mark. The lamb keema was over seasoned for me with a taste of clove overpowering everything else. The dishes all come out all at the same time which we weren’t expecting. It takes a bit away from the individual service experience and we didn’t have the dishes explained in detail like we’ve at other restaurants with tasting menus. Overall, the food was really tasty and lived up to the reviews and long-lead time for booking a table. I’d recommend it but come with a big appetite!

I can't speak highly enough of this place. It is small but perfectly formed with food and service to rival any restaurant I have ever been to. Exceptional standards of service couple with a creative and delicious menu male it a local hero for me! Just wish it wasn't fully booked for months in advance but I can absolutely understand why it is. Proper gem!!!

10/10 for Sunday lunch! Amazing atmosphere, food and service was 10/10. Defiantly be back. I see the reason it’s booked up till February next year 👏🏾!!

Super tasty and some of the best service I've had in years. Many places could learn from the service here. Tap water without asking. On the ball with clearing, delivering, asking if everything's ok/if we want owt. Bringing sauces with them to ask if we want sauces rather than disappear after asking to get them and possibly never return. Not having to wait for the bill. Brilliant. Fantastic. Great. Did I mention it's also super tasty? 🤤 Definitely will return.

Best small restaurant in Newcastle with amazing value for money tasting menu.

Excellent lunch service and surrounds impressive. Highly recommended

Outstanding service and food from the very start. Quite simply the best tasting menu I've had in a long, long time. Get a table...if you can!

Quite simply the best dining experience I've had all year. Service was impeccable, food fresh clean and inventive. Quite clearly an exceptional team. Blown away.

Overrated Tasting menu dishes were really good for the most part, but my meat was overcooked and both desserts were underwhelming. I really don't recommend the wine pairing, too expensive and not great in all honesty. I must say service was excellent, but overall I don't understand why it is so popular. 2.5/5

The evening taster meal is a very enjoyable experience, we went for a half measure of the wine pairing 👍. The afternoon menu is also very good. Only negative is getting booked in and having to pay £10 per head in advance.

there's a reason nest is booked up way in advance and that's because it's an absolute golden ticket of a visit - let me tell you it's worth the wait! an absolutely incredible evening from start to finish. the staff are so friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is beautiful and the food is divine. i'm not someone who would usually go for the fine dining experience, and there's always the worry when you're not used to experiences like this that you'll feel out of place but this truly is fine dining that makes everyone feel welcome. can't thank the whole team enough for such a memorable evening and the most beautiful food.

Unbelievable Sunday dinner. Well worth the wait. Service was excellent and nice inside

Simply awesomeness! Excellent staff, atmosphere and the most incredible tasting menu for the price.

Excellent Food, Service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Underwhelming experience having been super excited to try Nest from all the amazing reviews online. We booked the evening tasting menu for my mum's birthday celebrations and had the April menu. Venue is cute with lots of next related theming which didn't just stop at the restaurant floor but continued into the restrooms. They also have blackout curtains that come down which I thought was a nice touch to the interiors. Parking around the restaurant is also easy and mostly free. We did not opt for the wine pairing as they were wine glasses which was way too much alcohol for me personally as supposed to small tasting flights. Many of the other tables ended up having 2/3 glasses on their tables as the wines were served with the accompanying course. Each course is cooked together and served to the whole restaurant which meant that you could not eat to your own timings but had to wait on the timings of the other diners. Food was nice but wasn't as innovative as expected. Some of the dishes were warm and felt like they'd been sat waiting for a while before being served. Really enjoyed the Thai fish and chips but the two desserts were my favourite dishes - a banoffee flavoured shortbread and popcorn combo and the rhubarb pannacotta. Meat portions really varied in size and when we looked to the table next to us theirs were twice the size! A few of our dishes were served by the chef who was a delight to speak to whereas the floor staff on the other hand were not very engaging or enthusiastic. Overall, the venue is quite amplifying and we had to shout across the table to hear each other over the music and the other diners. Disappointing evening overall as everything was average or maybe my expectations were set too high having read all the exceptional reviews about Nest. On an additional note, I recieved an email one week before our reservation asking for a deposit for the booking which we were not expecting which came in the form of a very spammy looking email which had a time limit of '157 hours to pay your deposit'. I understand that many restaurants have to do this due to no shows but this has always been taken on booking and not via random email. If this is a new policy then courtesy phone call to all pre bookings would have been nicer from the team since there's only around 10 tables per night.

A wonderful experience,on the night this tasting menu was superb. Looking forward to our next visit.. A huge thank you to all the staff...

Fantastic food and service although the background music was too loud, difficult to have a conversation. Expensive drinks £6 for small bottle of alcohol free beer. But overall a really good night.

We called in for a quick coffee with daughter and 13 mth old grandson. 3 coffees and light lunches later we will visit when next in Heaton. The staff were lovely, both in the open kitchen and serving us, very patient with our grandson, nothing too much trouble. The food was very fresh and cooked to perfection The whole ambience of this small eating establishment was very intimate and relaxing, everything very clean and modern, including the toilets. The use of trees in the floor to ceiling windows works brilliantly.

Absolutely outstanding!! The best 3 course Sunday lunch ever. The staff are so attentive & helpful & the place is so homely and comfortable, fabulous ambiance. We’ve been lucky enough to get booked in for the tasting menu next week too…can’t wait to return! 10 out of 10 for nest! Really talented chefs! Perfection!

Specular and that's an understatement. Top notch food with great service.

Amazing food and service in this lovely place great atmosphere too marks all round 👍

Amazing food, fantastic setting and top service

Fantastic tasting menu staff brilliant,

Booked into nest for dinner to sample the tasting menu. Let's start there it was to put it lightly 7 courses of heaven paired with exquisite wine choices. The service from the staff, matched there passion for the food and wine. This venue is worth every single penny spent. If you want to experience culinary witchcraft to spellbind the mind and taste buds. Then nest is your place to dine. Magnificent.

This is a absolute experience. Well well worth the money. My tastbuds went to another dimension

Absolutely the best Sunday lunch and excellent service. The food is outstanding!

Great food, great service and a wonderful experience.

What a fabulous experience, tasting menu and wine flight fantastic. The pescatarians in the party were equally happy. Front of house service was pleasant and efficient. Jack's spiel re the wines was very informative and seemed fresh/spontaneous..clever given he had to repeat it for a number of tables. The food was gorgeous..too many highlights to single them out..look on the website then book and enjoy..we did!

Without any shadow of a doubt the best night we have had in a long time. The dining experience and ambience was wonderfully intimate yet friendly and you got the feeling that everyone was united in this cocoon of magnificence, sharing the culinary delights and soaking up the atmosphere. This was compounded by the hospitality from Jack Brown and his front of house staff which was second to none! Knowledgeable and passionate about the menu and nothing was a problem, you cannot feel this at home unless your in your own living room! The food was remarkable, with every component doing exactly what it should on a fine dining menu. Notes of smoked garlic and subtle use of truffle where necessary and perfectly cooked proteins, the fish literally glistening and the venison being so tender it melts in your mouth. I cannt even attempt to put into words how perfect this tasting menu was, and paired with the wine was more of a journey through Italy through all the seasons as the night rolled on. I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to dine here, extremely fortunate indeed but mark my words this is a must place to visit in 2022. Utterly wonderful.

Absolutely incredible experience. The service was faultless and we really enjoyed having the wines explained to us and how they would match with the specific dishes. We would definitely return and we highly recommend trying Nest if you enjoy great food, wine and service.

Really loved our first experience here. Like the decor and the ambience too. The food is all well prepared, presented and served. I enjoyed all courses but personal favourites were the chowder and the last desert.

My husband and I visited Nest last week and were very impressed. The decor is very tastefully done with some nice extra touches. We had the Tasting Menu and every one of the eight courses was delicious. The staff were welcoming and helpful. If you like top rate food in an informal atmosphere then I would highly recommend Nest.

Wow! Just amazing! 8 courses of culinary delights. Each and and every course delivered everything the menu promised. If you like food on a Michelin star level, you need to try Nest. I will be back! Thank you

Spectacular Sunday lunch. Food and service was exceptional. We will definitely be back.

Unbelievable food, absolutely blew our minds. So inventive, exciting and exceptional. Full of surprises too. You must visit and have this food experience! 😀😀

Just had lunch in here with 2 friends. Good location, beautifully appointed, excellent service from Charlie - and have to say the food was superb! We went for the deli board and ordered all the extra dishes so we could have a tapas style lunch - and it was first class. Good wine selection too. We then went for all three sweets between us so we could sample each of them - we eat out a lot but have to say the chocolate brownie with clotted cream was total decadence and absolute die for! Superb meal, lovely atmosphere- and a very reasonable bill at the wnd. We’ll be back!!!!!

We had the tasting menu and wine flight at Nest and our table of four all had a really great evening. The service was excellent, really friendly and informative, the food was incredible and the wine pairings worked really well. Can't fault any of it!

Amazing food and such a lovely atmosphere

Just had a lovely afternoon at Nest. Absolutely excellent food and fantastic service. The whole team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to cater for our two young boys. Honestly can't recommend Nest enough and can't wait to go back.

10 out of 10 . Elegant, clever and clean cooking. Absolute pleasure to visit the man who helped me kick start my career. Bravo to chef Chris Wood and his amazing team. 👏 👨‍🍳🍽

Great food, great service. Highly recommend

Lovely restaurant and staff, the food is beautiful! Couldn't recommend this place enough!
