Really great place. Excellent food, beautifully presented. Enjoyed the wine pairing, one pairing shared between two was perfect. Adam was a lovely host, friendly and attentive.

Visited 09/11/24. This is a lovely place to eat. The staff were extremely friendly. We had to wait a while for our table, but our server explained that it was unusually busy and that the drinks we ordered while we waited were now on the house... as were the small aperitifs they served us shortly after. The food was delicious, and I do mean all of it, even the ingredients I normally wouldn't touch with a barge pole. We had a lovely meal, and the staff were extremely considerate and knowledgeable of my partner's coeliac condition. The issue began once we got home when, shortly before bed may partner started being violently ill. She's coeliac as I said, so sometimes this does happen even in the most careful of kitchens, unfortunate but understandable cross-contamination - or so I thought. Not an hour later I was also violently ill, and our condition continued in to much of the following day. If I was to guess, I think the issue was the "That Chicken Pie", which was the only dish we both had. We ordered off the Set Menu (50% cheaper than the usual Saturday menu) which normally isn't available on Saturday, but due to a typo on their website, we believed was available (they let us order from it without batting an eye - as I said, really lovely people and fantastic service). That dish isn't available on the tasting menu used on Saturdays so if there was a complication, I imagine that's where it was.

Peace and Loaf in Jesmond, Newcastle, provided an exceptional dining experience that exceeded all expectations. As a Christmas gift, this gastronomic journey was truly memorable and special. From the moment we arrived, the attentive staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The restaurant's atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an enjoyable evening. The star of the show was undoubtedly the tweleve-”course” tasting menu( Some courses are only a mouthful). Each dish was a masterful work of art, showcasing the chefs' creativity and culinary expertise. The flavors were bold yet harmonious, and the presentation was visually stunning. It was evident that each ingredient had been carefully sourced and prepared to highlight its natural essence. As we progressed through the courses, the impeccable service continued, with staff members explaining each dish in detail and promptly attending to our needs. Overall, our visit to Peace and Loaf was a delightful and unforgettable culinary adventure. The exceptional food, outstanding service, and inviting atmosphere make it a standout destination for anyone seeking a memorable fine dining experience in Newcastle.

Took my friend for lunch for her birthday. Great experience start to finish, from the welcome at door to the friendly service through the meal to the amazing food. We chose the £25 lunch menu and what great value that was. The flavours blew me away from the hit of like and just sheer freshness of the crab tostadas to the warm of chilli and balances of spices in the sauce for the Thai curry sauce surrounding the perfectly cooked bass, perfection. A special shoutout to Adam our server who was so friendly and informative about the food he offer some of the best service I’ve experienced in Newcastle. I challenge anyone not to leave impressed.

I'm not a fan of this type of food as I'm quite parky. But I must say from the minute I walked through the door myself and my wife were greeted by the staff who I must say were the best I've ever had to deal with. From start to finish they were unreal. The food was exceptional. 💯% I would recommend. Was my wife's birthday and you made both our night. Keep up the amazing work

Pretentiousness personified. Managed to get a table on a Saturday evening and were advised once seated that it was the £90 per head 9 coarse taster menu. Our own fault I suppose, we could have checked on line before booking. I am GF and we were advised that this was not an issue. The greeting on arrival and service throughout was fine. My issue is the food. A taster menu is supposed to showcase the chef's skills and ideally introduce the diner to new and unusual taste combinations or culinary techniques. What we got was basically a conveyor belt of food that could easily have been picked up off any supermarket shelf. Two of the GF substitutions were downright infuriating a 1 cm piece of sausage on a silver cocktail stick in place of the wonton, the sausage was basically a side / garnish from a later course. For another coarse my gf alternative was a tiny bowl of unseasoned, tasteless, porridge. When asked what I thought of it I simply asked if our always pleasant waiter had tried it. He hadn't and neither had the chef! Once tried by the chef he agreed with my comments. In summary poorly concieved and executed food at £10 a coarse. I can only assume the rave reviews come from those who are blindsided by the pretension and have not experienced an excellent or even good tasting menu elsewhere.

An amazing experience from start to finish. We were really taken care of right from entering the restaurant and the service was like nothing I had ever experienced. I had called ahead to notify the restaurant of my partners celery allergy and that it was her birthday. Straight away she was greeted with a happy birthday and the manager explained any alterations that needed to be made to any of the dishes. This was our first taster menu experience and the food with wine pairing was out of this world. An expensive treat but completely worth it to experience something truly this special. A really personal experience from the staff and an amazing night that I really couldn’t recommend more to anyone looking for a special treat!

Another amazing independent food spot in Newcastle. The cocktails are amazing the plum old fashioned was in another level smooth and easy drinking. The bread course was insanely good whipped beef dripping one of the best bread courses I’ve had. The starter the Baron Bigod needs to be a permanent feature as it was so good simple flavours but not over complicated but the flavours spoke for themselves. The main the chicken not pie the gravy I could have had a bucket of it , the crispy chicken was so good. My only downside was the aerated mash that’s personal preference tho it always has the starchiness and seems overly pretentious when there’s nothing wrong with normal mash and if there could of been some kale your sprouting broccoli it could of made it it the spot. The desert was peach and meadow and was just what I needed something light and refreshing. Can’t wait to find a day to come back and try another menu and discover more hidden gems. I hope Peace and loaf get some recognition from the Michelin guide, hopefully a Michelin bib gourmand then a star because I can definitely see it getting some recognition soon. Fab staff fab food

We have been here multiple times - but this is probably only the second time since Covid. Still feel it was a better restaurant when it didnt only have a tasting menu. Anyway - things have moved along and there was no longer a choice of tasting menus with differing numbers of courses - it's one menu with approx 13 item for £90. Wine pairing is pretty reasonable at £60 (I often end-up with the wine flight costing more than the food). Lots of the courses were interesting and good (the kipper bon bons, the slider, elements of the torched mackerel) but overall the quality gap between here and the restaurants with a Michelin star seems to have grown rather than shrunk. The bao bun was very greasy, a couple of the sauces over-powered the main ingredient. You would get better quality, value for money at House of Tides in our opinion. Our group of 5 were unanimous that this is the wrost meal any of us had had at P&L. A pity as we were planning on booking for New Year's Eve - now need to find another option.

We were there for 3 hours so exceptional value for money. Lovely venue - very intimate and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend if in the Jesmond area.

The food is excellent - we got the longer menu (£90 pp) and we weren’t disappointed with our choice. The “Caesar salad” course was definitely a highlight for me personally. Service was very good too, they were friendly and attentive. The reason for not giving 5 star though is that for the price you would expect a bit more in the way of atmosphere/decor. The interior is very simple, bland and not representative of the menu/pricing. We were there for just over 2 hours and I was in a bit of pain by the end of it because the chair was uncomfortable. After 3 cocktails the bill came to £230. For this price it is a special occasion place for us but doesn’t feel fancy enough to be remembered at the next special event. If I could put the food and the staff at a venue that was suave on the inside then that would be my go-to for every special occasion!

Had the larger taster menu, most of which was excellent though a couple of the dishes were a little bland. If you have a big appetite, you will still be hungry after. The venue is relatively low key, simple and non- pretentious though for such pricing I'd expect a little more atmosphere. Nice wine selection, recommend the Dao as a balanced red. Cocktails and mixed drinks have WAY too much ice in, to the point where they are difficult to drink (though this may be so you can see the bubble-fee ice cubes).

While the restaurant with "Loaf" in its name might promise exceptional bread, my experience fell short of expectations.

The service was good. The food is simply far too salty. There was a prawn salad dish and i could actually tasted granules of monosodium glutamate. Is it really necessary to put so much MSG/salt into a salad dish? I know restaurant do this so that people would order more drinks, but the amount of sodium they put in all the dishes was just far too excessive in general. I had to tell the waiter to reduce the amount of salt. We all know excessive Na is bad for health and i cannot understand why they do this!!

Wow. What a superb experience. A stunning culinary experience and the service from the bar & being greeted, to our wonderful waitress and everyone in between was faultless. You are made to feel more than a guest and more like a friend. Very relaxed and genuine atmosphere. The food was stunning. Tasting menu had 13 courses (be sure to go in hungry as you get a lot for your money) and we were amazed at the stunning flavours and textures created. Wine pairing was superb also and nicely presented and explained by our attentive and lovely waitress. Stand out dishes for me were Bread & Spreads & Cauliflower Satay. Having eaten in 3 star restaurants, these dishes could easily have made the menu there. The bread and spreads was the most clever and stunning dish I have ever eaten. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. The only surprise is you don’t have a Michelin star. Possibly due to a more laid back entrance but I really liked that. Not stuffy or pretentious at all and all staff very genuine and lovely. This is a hidden gem. I’ll be telling all who listen about this place and when I am up from London again, I’ll be sure to visit again. Thanks all for a wonderful and truly memorable experience.

So it's an odd one. For me 3stars - because it should be better. So compared to others it's very good, but the price is much more, so expectations are higher. And you should 'get what you pay for'. Our bill was £400 for the 3 of us. So it's an expensive night. And it was only 3 stars for that price. The food itself was very tasty, but not 'special' - only one dish was truly noteworthy (the cauliflower if you're interested). I was hoping for more 'wow' with each mouthful, but it wasn't there. Our initial host (I think his name was Dan?) was a very amiable Irish chap who acted as sommelier and truly gave us something extra - I hope someone feeds back to him how he truly raised the night for us. The other servers however had that missing quality we expected. There was little explanation of the dishes - it came across rushed and we had to look at the menu to figure out what we were eating. The restaurant isn't that large, so it would have been better if there was a little more 'hosting' - it truly changes the evening and the experience. This is again something I expect from a 'high end' restaurant, and thus the 3 stars. So would I go back? Well this is my second time, and I wasn't sure after the first as my experience was similar. But everyone deserves a second chance. Unfortunately for me, it's not worth the money and so I wouldn't go back. Sorry.

This has to be the very very best restaurant in the North East, and we are lucky enough to eaten at many other brilliant establishments locally. From the moment you walk through the door, the ambiance and decor and atnosphere is exceptional. The food was absolutely out of this world, a really great Birthday treat, which took us over three hours to enjoy fully. The imagination and creativity was awe inspiring . It was a fairly busy Friday night, with every table taken, but it has a cool relaxed vibe. I’d like to single out the synchronicity and team work of the serving team . They operate as such a seamless, and cohesive bunch, helping each other, making it all run so smoothly and with such passion

Booking a birthday meal for a carnivore (with an intolerance to various nuts,) and three vegetarians (one of whom can't have dairy, and one of whom can't have dairy, soy or gluten) felt like an impossible challenge - but the team at Peace & Loaf were brilliant! The chefs adapted the long tasting menu for all of our requirements. The presentation was exquisite, and the dishes varied and beautifully cooked. We were made so welcome, and had a really lovely evening. The staff were attentive, and talked us through each dish - happy to answer our questions about interesting herbs and flavours. It was a expensive treat for us - but we felt it was excellent value for money, and well worth splashing out on, for a special occasion.

Was slightly concerned it would be a bit too fine dining-y for me and my partner. But how wrong I was! We both had Menu A, seven courses, and it was absolutely incredible. First off, the food was 10/10. Second, we loved that the experience was spread over an hour and a half, with a new dish coming out every 10min or so, rather than the usual situation of trying to chat between mouthfuls and then finishing your meal in 15 minutes. The last thing to mention is that you definitely feel full after all those courses. They may look small, but we certainly left satisfied and didn’t really eat for the rest of the day.

Yum. We don’t go here often but we go regularly for special occasions. P&L just get it right. Excellent food excellent atmosphere excellent service and parking right outside. What’s not to love. Amazing creations delivered quickly and without fuss. Big up to Tom who looked after us this evening. I was licking my lips all the way home and still had nice flavours going on when I got there. Thank you again and see you as soon as it can be warranted.

A great spot near Newcastle / Washington way. We visited on the steak tasting menu night, and the food tasted fantastic. Natalia our waitress was very friendly and stopped to talk to us a few times about what else we could do in Newcastle whilst visiting. Good choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks (like mocktails). Free parking outside the restaurant too as we visited in the evening. Not much more to say apart from a must visit in the area!

Wonderful tasting menu experience in a restaurant with a unique interior design. Our waitress was friendly and very knowledgeable about the many dishes that were served. Nice to be able to savour all of the food and not feel that you were being rushed. Would highly recommend if you are a foodie and would also book in advance as it is a popular place.

Absolutely must if you are a foodie. It was our first time but not last. The tasting menu is served at a leisurely pace to allow you to savour and enjoy each course. We had 12 courses - each one carefully thought out to complement the next. They were very accommodating with our allergies and dietary requirements which was very much appreciated. Make sure you leave enough time when booking to enjoy the courses - not having to rush them. The menus are seasonal and therefor change around 5 times a year, but I’m told they will have special menus from time to time. I adored the avocado and potato! It was stunning. I also loved the charcuterie course! You have to go and try for yourself.

Last went a couple of years ago when I would have rated it 5 stars.. this time it's a 4. Reasons, although it cost less than our previous visit, we felt the quality of the food had been reduced to cater for that. Every mouthful on our previous visit was met with smiles due to the flavours of each dish from the tasting menu.. this time this didn't happen. Although good, starters definitely didn't have the wow factor at all, normal in taste just that they were fine, a 3 out of 5. Main courses were good though, still no wow feeling like previous visit, but still lovely (4 out of 5) and desserts were similar very good but not outstanding, 4 out of 5. Add in a £60 bottle of wine and a service charge, it makes it a pricey day for a good meal.. not a memorable meal which we had 2 years ago, which cost more but made us want to come back at a future date.. unfortunately our recent experience disappointed us slightly and we will have to go somewhere else to try and get that feeling again.

Well, where do I start!! I often go to this area to eat, I'd never heard of this place until my daughter and Son in law invited me for breakfast today. It's quite typical and fitting with its location. As I say, I've visited other eateries in the area. This place delivered on all fronts. A warm and friendly welcome, very efficient service (it's quite small, so you only get in if you're lucky enough to arrive at the right time). The breakfast lived up to the billing and some!!! I couldn't eat it all as its size outweighed any thing I've ever experienced, I'm sorry I can't reveal the cost because I didn't ask, when I got the bill for the 4 of us I just paid as it was definitely worth whatever they charge. The team of staff didn't disturb us unnecessarily even though there were people waiting for seats. If you're anything like me, you know when it's time to get up and make way for others. I would definitely recommend a visit but make sure your appetite is ready for the feast to come.

Top pub in the old Jesmond Railway Station. Hidden away and you wouldn’t know you’re right next to the city centre. Very nice atmosphere and pleasant staff with a good selection of beer.
