The Broad Chare in Newcastle upon Tyne

My second experience of this pub and thoroughly enjoyed both times. Well worth a visit 🙂🙂

Absolutely delicious! Everything was excellent and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Highlights were the Shiraz red and the soft meringue with vanilla crème and baked plums. Delightful!

Once again Broad Chare served up an excellent meal for us in a great venue. Thanks

Cosy atmosphere, attentive service and good food.

Food was excellent and very fresh. Service was friendly and prompt.

I visited once before several months ago and thought that the food was lovely. However, on my visit today (03.10.24) the food was absolutely shocking!!!!! We ordered 3 monk fish cheeks, 3 chips, one scotch egg and one pigs ears. The scotch egg and pigs ears were fine, but not great and the chips were hard as if they had been sat there for hours and the monk fish was so over done; it was like chewing on an old leather boot! We were the only ones in the bar at the time of ordering and feel like we just got reheated food. We also noticed that the staff did not come over and ask us how the food was which suggests that the staff knew what they were putting in front of us was not up to standard. A very disappointing meal.

We ordered a mixture of main courses and bar snacks, all were very good.

Fabulous Sunday Lunch - great food and service. Will definitely be back!

They had some amazing food. The scotch egg is a must try. Also the haggis on toast was great too. The bubble and squeak and the fish and chips were mediocre. Staff were super friendly and even offered for us to stay after closing time if wanted desert.

Если вы хотите попробовать настоящую английскую кухню в прекрасном исполнении, обязательно посетите это место! Бронировать столик лучше заранее. Большой выбор пива. Еда приготовлена изыскано, порции , достаточно большие. Мы остались очень довольны , немного дороже, но это стоит того! Персонал работает замечательно!

Roast dinner was lovely. Nice treat for our wedding anniversary.

Brilliant food, good service, good beer, even left a 10 pound tip, it was that good.

1st time visit for my husbands birthday and we will definitely be back. Great ambience and my husband said his rib-eye was the best he had had in a long time !! Pork scratching's were fab too. Fantastic service.

Excellent Wurstplatte for Oktoberfest - top quality, promptly served and in relaxing surrounds.

We had the loveliest time. My father-in-law enjoyed flavours from his past and the meal evoked many happy memories.

The Broad Chare offers an ideal spot for a quiet drink, but it’s the food that truly steals the show. The menu strikes the perfect balance between comforting pub classics and inventive twists, showcasing the respect for tradition while embracing the modern culinary wave. The service is impeccable. Attentive without being intrusive - proving that both the staff and management take pride in making every guest feel at home. For me, The Broad Chare has remained a steadfast favorite, consistently delivering excellence whether you visit on a Tuesday dinner or a Sunday lunch. A visit here is a nod to both quality and timelessness. Thanks again for a wonderful meal.

Absolutely phenomenal food, I had the lamb and my friend had the pork, perfect portions of everything, the side of gratin was lovely too, wish we could have room for more! Also very impressed with the staff knowledge of everything included on the dish and the specials and the beers downstairs because I could only remember the colours of the hand pull sign of the beer I had ordered! Very attentive staff but no hovering or crowding either, very difficult to get the right balance but it was spot on. I can see why this is the top restaurant for Sunday dinners in Newcastle on google. We will be back for more.

The place serves proper traditional food as well as season-themed ones (e.g. Oktoberfest) with a great attention to flavours and taste. The savoury Goulashsuppe was perfectly matched with Tuscan-like bread, while Lamb roast was melt-in-the-mouth and well-matched with seasonal veggies (spinaches and side potatoes dauphinoise). All in all it was a very complete meal served in a nice rustic but well-kept setting.

Its the best food and drink and service

Cosy, tranquil ambience with great staff and lovely food. Thank you

Since I was only staying for a few hours, I visited a gastro pub that was selected as a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand to have a meal that would not go wrong. I found this place while looking for restaurants in the UK and visited it. ​ It is a renovated building that used to be a warehouse, so the overall interior and atmosphere is hip and not burdensome. The first floor is a pub and the second floor is a restaurant. The menu has a variety of dishes in each section, including tapas-style snacks, appetizers, mains, and desserts. It's not expensive compared to British prices, but I liked the burger so I ordered it with a beer. ​ As mentioned earlier, since this is a bar, they serve over 50 different beers. Since lager is always required with hamburgers and pizza, I ordered Munich Lager from Paulaner, a German company famous for its wheat beer. It is true that the price of a hamburger is 17 pounds, but considering the reputation of Michelin and the fact that it is a handmade burger, it is not an unacceptable price. Even French fries are provided as standard. ​ Looking at the composition of the hamburger, lettuce, tomato, and pickles were placed on a patty topped with cheddar cheese, and brioche was used as the bun. It is a composition that is faithful to the basics without being excessive or poor. The patty, which was said to be made from rump steak, was cut in half and checked for doneness. Although it was not as medium rare as I had hoped, the meat juice was well preserved. It was enough to slightly wet the bun. ​ It was difficult to hold with two hands, so I cut it with a knife, but the juice coming out of the patty, the tomatoes, and the lettuce combined made it very smooth to swallow. The way to eat was meaningless. Although there was only one patty, it was the thickness of two patties combined, so it felt heavy as well as savory when eating it. However, the pickles served to balance out the heaviness of the patty, making it edible. ​ French fries are definitely the best when eaten with hamburgers. In Europe, French fries are usually dipped in mayonnaise, but I gave up on ketchup after trying it once. Anglo-Americans are very serious about hamburgers, and when it comes to handmade burgers, the overall standard is higher than in Korea, so I ate it without regret. Among other menu items, I am also curious about traditional British food.

We went for dinner and the food was excellent. Well deserved bib gourmand from Michelin. Great service and very well priced. Would recommend

Staff are so attentive to everyone's needs, and they look and act professionally. The food from the gastro pub bar snacks through to fine dining separate restaurant is a fantastic dining experience but sometimes we just go to be in the bar to use as our local 'country' pub

Absolutely fabulous meal last night! First time visit but we’ll definitely return. We chose a variety of bar snacks to share as ‘starters’ - all were delicious! Mains were a burger, hake and 2 liver and mash. All cooked to perfection. 1 pudding and 1 cheese board also excellent! Not cheap but the service was excellent and the ambiance great!

Customers sitting at the bar are extremely irritating. A decent selection of beer but who would want to stay in a place where a bunch of people block the bar and hold inane conversations at heightened volume. Certainly not me.

Always take customers here when I am in the area. Great food and service in a relaxed setting. Excellent as always

Our food was simply delicious. Each of us had a different Sunday lunch and each of us felt that it was all really good. I ad lamb and then a lovely meringue with stewed plums. A great combination. I can recommend. Lovely staff who were very helpful.

Excellent place for both drinking and dining. The beer was great and the food fantastic. I honestly wanted to lick the plates clean! Disgusting, I know, but it's that good. I will certainly return.

As ever Broad Chare never disappoints The food was delicious as well as rather service from Molly.Thank you to her Always a lovely cost atmosphere Would definitely recommend

Great food in lovely historic venue. Service excellent and good choice of beers.

Our first time at Broad Chare. Restaurant was full so there was quite a lot of noise from people talking. Quite a limited and traditional menu but food was fine. Wine quite expensive. Goor range of beers including Belgian beers. Service was good.

The cods roe was delicious followed by the Halibut perfectly cooked. Fab evening

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast. We enjoyed lamb and pork, both of which were very good. Highly recommend.

Poor. Food was warm not hot. Roast potatoes dried out, tasteless. Vegetables. Cabbage large slices and carrots just we think probably microwaved. Pork tough. Lamb okay. The meal was very average for the price. We have been to Broadchare several times. This was the worst by far. Can’t fault the staff. Attentive and pleasant. Will not be returning.

Nice food served by friendly staff in a nice environment. Although enjoyable I did feel that my meal was slightly over priced and some thought could have been given to serving additional vegetables to make the portion seem a bit more generous. Would recommend as despite these issues we had a nice evening.

Genuinely the best oysters I've ever had. Lovely service, can't wait to go back again and try the sharing meat dishes.

Excellent traditional pub fayre including classics like bubble & squeak and calves liver. Good service and well kept beers. The prices represent the quality of the food. Overall a delightful experience.

Nice menu, good food, excellent service and pleasant ambience. Really enjoyed the whole experience.

Excellent. Very tasty food. Excellent choice. Serving staff attentive. Courses served at just the right time. Menu very good. Clear descriptions

Just excellent food and service from arrival to leaving the sharing steak was so good 👍

We sat out in the garden area but lovely service excellent. Menu was interesting.

We were going to Live theatre for hubby's birthday so came here at 5.30 for a meal and it was fabulous. Bar and outside beer garden downstairs and restaurant up. Started by sharing some monkfish cheeks which were very moreish then I had halibut with samphire, clams &mussels and potatoes which was spot on. Daz doesn't often get steak as often disappointed but certainly not the case today as a beautiful medium rare steak with chips and onion rings was demolished! Good choice of beers and I has a lovely glass of pinotage With coffee to finish bill came to just over £100 with no service charge added.

Excellent menu with well cooked and presented Dishes. Staff very friendly and service was very quick.

My favourite place so far in Newcastle. Very high standard of cooking on well interpreted gastro pub classics. My ray wing was divine. Peeking at other tables around, every dish I saw looked incredible. Great beers on tap too. Friendly and attentive waitress.

Great Sunday lunch with fantastic service

Fantastic dining and drinking pub that lives up to its reputation. We arrived but had made our reservation on the wrong date. Steven and his team could not have been more helpful and found us a table without any fuss or hassle even though they were completely full. Superb meal, wine and welcome. Thank you.

Me and my husband booked here for an anniversary meal and I can't recommend it enough. The service, atmosphere and food was absolutely on point. The pub itself feels warm and cozy which a good choice of drinks. Drinks and food came out at a good pace and it's honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend the bubble and squeak main! A huge thank you to all the staff for making it such a memorable meal and evening :)

A nice traditional pub a good range of beers and cask ales

This was my first time eating at the Broad Chare and having heard great things about it we weren’t disappointed, the Sunday lunch was excellent and we finished with some delicious desserts and almanac. Definitely one to return to

A great Sunday Lunch, beef melted in mouth, the leeks in cheese sauce had a wonderful flavour. We were well looked after and did not feel rushed.

Great quality food cooked perfectly - what can I say except try it.

Lovely cosy venue. Quiet and comfortable. Food was excellent and the service was very good. Would definitely go back.

Six of us had pre-dinner drinks here and enjoyed it. Great selection of beers and really friendly staff. Rustic pub interior but nice atmosphere and quiet so we could have a good chat! Restaurant upstairs is said to be very good but we didn't eat there.

Lovely outdoor space behind the bar. Great if the sun shines 👍

Why can’t other pubs be like this? Traditional food cooked with great skill, care and attention to detail, excellent service and great ambiance. You would be mad not to go out of your way to visit when in Newcastle.

Really good food, wine list and service. The food menu could be more innovative but well-cooked. The wine by the glass list was very extensive.

Food, service was excellent. My wife and I went for lunch and had a great time and will be back

Only dropped in for a couple of beers but there was a nice feeling to the place. I would be happy to go back there for a meal.

Amazing food and service as usual, never fails to impress.

Great food and service. V relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent dining experience. Attentive friendly service. Great menu, quality of food was excellent. Local ingredients. Food well presented. Excellent range of drinks, bottled and draft beers with guest ales. Quality of the offer is reflected in the price. Would I return. A definite yes.

Lovely experience. Scotch eggs are a must try. Lovely staff and delicious food. Highly recommend.

LOVELY PLACE TO STOP OFF AND HAVE A DRINK

First time diners there. Recommended by one of your regular customers. Everything was exceptional

Unfortunately the chips and the onion rings were only identifiable by dental records. However, the steak was perfect and good beer selection.

Fabulous food service and value , from start to finish quality

Excellent Sunday lunch . Best I've had in Newcastle. Brilliant!

Wonderful food and first class service. Great atmosphere. Best place in Newcastle for Sunday Dinner.

Food fantastic, restaurant busy, service was outstanding. Drinks choices were great. Would definitely go back as lots more bar snacks I would like to try and the wine and beer choice is fab. Lovely way to celebrate our anniversary!

Excellent food and drink, proper food, would definitely visit again

Excellent Service and Great British Food. Love the cauliflower fritters and curry mayo.

Always a good night with great food and service. Consistent in everything they do. A regular haunt for us. Afternoons in the tranquil and beer garden is a must.

Went on a Monday. We had a booking but arrived early and had a fine pint in the bar. When we dined my son and I and his beloved had three courses each and ate very well indeed. Highlights all over the place but a cream spinach and girolles (spellcheck suggested gorillas) on toast, a Dexter Ribeye and a buttermilk pudding with gooseberries, elderflower and shortbread were our individual top plates. I love that you can dine so well and feel so welcome while drinking a pint. Service was exemplary. £150 for three was very good value.

Excellent meal with good tasty pub food. Quality was very good and the portion sizes large. Ambiance was quite loud but great to see the room full on a Tuesday evening. Obviously a popular spot and they are doing things right.

One of the best meals I've ever had 100% recommend trying this hidden gem out fantastic service and quality of food smoked beer was amazing

Good food, well prepared. Unusual selection of beers.

A friendly welcome and excellent service. The menu is always interesting with a great selection of ingredients.

Excellent beer garden, service, food to die for we had a few small plates, cauliflower bites, monkfish cheeks, prawns, chunky chips and a scotch egg to share. Great service, venue and close to Quayside.

Outstanding food - best Scotch egg I've ever tasted and the family agreed. We decided to share multiple small plates and bar snacks instead of one main so we could try as many of the tempting things on the menu as possible and this was a good decision. Everything was so moorish it disappeared fast! Also a fantastic selection of beers really well kept. Wine is also available but we tried a seasonal recommendation and a trad porter both of which were delicious. The staff are really attentive, friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. If you are visiting or in Newcastle I'd definitely recommend The Broad Chare for food or just a relaxed but top quality drink.

Great place for a drink and lunch

Classic British Cuisine excellently done. Lidisfarne, local, oysters follwed by liver and bacon in a to die for gravy/sauce and lemon sponge steamed pudding. Lynda's fried Haddock and chips was also a triumph of tradition done well. I would recommend the Broad Chare dining room to anyone who wants great food without pretentions.

Outstanding food and service-our first visit but will definitely be back!

Fabulous food in relaxing environment with suitably attentive staff… Couldn’t fault our experience

We really enjoyed all our food and wine. The service was good although there was a wait between courses, no big deal though. It is a noisy space as there are no sound absorbing materials in the dining area. It was also very warm, until the a/c was switched on when we mentioned how uncomfortable it was becoming. It would be wonderful if some windows could be opened. However an excellent venue and we hope to return on our next visit to wonderful Newcastle.

Didn't get foodbutnice staff good bar to visit if in Newcastle

Excellent value as NE1 restaurant week. Pleasant staff and delicious food, though lemon syrup pudding was very sweet!

We went for restaurant week and it was good to see that Broad Chare were doing it properly. Offering their normal quality food but at restaurant week prices, showcasing their restaurant to encourage diners to return in the future. Other restaurants in the past have offered tiny portions and little choices but Broad Chare didn't do that. Absolutely delicious food, more than sizeable portions, and we are already planning to come back. A delightful experience Thank you

I had been told, the broad chare was great pub food. I can say that is great pub food but very, very well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Sunday lunch with generous portions, lovely atmosphere and choice for everyone well worth a visit.

As always Broad chare never disappoints!! First class food and service.

Very nice bar with a lovely little seating area outside. Great range of drinks and food looks great although I didn't partake. On the more pricey side for Newcastle though

Fantastic evening. Food was fantastic and tasty. The service is always spot on. We love this place and they are really good at trying to accommodate food preferences

Really good meal. Had bar snacks, then. 2 small plates which was a mistake when ordering the lamb shoulder to share as it’s enormous and we had to have a doggy bag. Could be eaten by 3 people and you would still be full. Finished with buttermilk pudding with gooseberries. Really ace dessert.

If you had to make the ideal city centre boozer, you'd make the Broad Chare. Consistently brilliant for a beer or a bite. Dogs welcome 🐕

Arrived yesterday (27.7) hoping to get a last minute table. Steven was more than happy to help and we ended up with a great spot in the corner of the restaurant. Our food that we ordered was faultless, the Hake being the best piece of fish I’ve ever had, it was cooked to perfection. Would not hesitate to recommend this place. Thankyou Steve, Chef and team.

We went for Sunday lunch. Party of six. Between us we had all the options and every one was excellent.

Great ambience no L music which we preferred. Staff very helpful and attentive.

Absolutely brilliant afternoon spent here, came with a couple friends for dinner and drinks, staff so friendly, portion sizes were good, got a beef dinner with side of vegetables. Will definitely be back

Exquisite, delicious food, both raw materials and preparation.
