The Broad Chare in Newcastle upon Tyne

Lovely place but expensive to drink

A lovely gastro pub in a great location close to the quayside and river. We were lucky to snag a table and thoroughly enjoyed the meals we had there. The cauliflower fritters with curry mayonnaise were stand out and my husband's fish and chips were declared 'delicious'! Great friendly service too.

Brilliant food monkfish cheeks with home made tartar sauce was define and the haggis on toast with a duck egg was heaven

I've been here twice now (a few years apart, as I don't live in the area) - it was excellent both times

Not sure about food etc but looks nice from our side very clean only had drinks but everyone else seemed very happy

Great British food - done really well! Great service, selection of beers and non alcoholic drinks. Family friendly but classy. What a great asset to Newcastle's Quayside.

Este es un gran lugar para la cena. Ambiente encantador y excelente comida. El menú es interesante y hay una gran variedad de cervezas y cervezas. También tomamos una copa en el acogedor bar.

A little hidden away, off the beaten track, The Broad Chare will become a must for me on future visits to Newcastle. This is gastro-pub dining at its best. They have a fabulous selection of hand-pulled and keg beers and a very respectable wine list. Even the selection of wines 'by the glass' is out of the ordinary. The food is superb, locally sourced And beautifully presented by attentive, cheerful staff. Highly recommended!ⁿ

Everything you could ask for from a light pub lunch. Great beer and wine, nice ambience and friendly staff. The Bar Snacks menu is very well priced and the food exceptional. Pork Pie, Scotch Egg and Park Crackling all perfect, with a nice plate of proper chips in the side. Highly recommended

A wonderful find, this restaurant was buzzing with happy customers. The oysters were the best I've had felt as if they were just picked from the sea. My main course was the liver and bacon, perfectly cooked. There is a great and extensive wine list and friendly, professional staff. Highly recommend a visit to this establishment 10 out of 10

Almost unbearably noisy. Conversation was impossible.

Excellent Sunday roast. Good old fashioned pub environment with plenty beer choices

Escondidos en el muelle casi nos lo perdemos, pero me alegro de no haberlo hecho. La comida era increíble Fui por burbujas y chirridos que no esperaba ver en el menú, por favor, ¡obtenga esto! El personal era muy agradable también.

Best gastro pub in Newcastle. Their Sunday roast is not to be missed – especially the lamb one. Still thinking about the delicious Scotch eggs.

Segunda visita a The Broad Chare y no me decepcionó. No se molestó con los entrantes ya que queríamos dejar espacio para el desierto. El saludo a la llegada y el personal agradable fueron un punto culminante la primera vez y continuó esta vez. Mi compañero de comedor y yo nos pusimos a comer carne asada y no estamos decepcionados. La patata y la delfinosa de puerro era excelente. Normalmente no tengo salsa y no me di cuenta de que venía automáticamente con el plato, así que eso es algo que necesito recordar la próxima vez. Tenía miedo de que el pudín de Yorkshire fuera seco y desmoronable, pero no tenía que preocuparme. Para el desierto mis ojos se concentraron inmediatamente en el merengue con ruibarbo de Yorkshire mientras mi compañero de comedor iba por la esponja de jengibre. Tal vez fue porque el plato principal era muy agradable, pero me encontré un poco decepcionado. Esperaba un poco más de contraste entre la dulzura del merengue y la tarta esperada del ruibarbo, pero no había ninguno. La única manera de capturar esto era a partir del jugo limitado en el fondo del tazón. Lamentablemente no había mucho de esto y lo que había era mezclarse con la crema y algo neutralizado. ¿Disfruté de mi comida? Sí, pero puedo intentar investigar los pudines más a fondo y no guiarme por mi visión inmediata del menú. El único otro desafío era que el techo bajo (ish) y el piso de madera significaban que, a veces, era difícil tener una conversación sin tener que inclinarse y decir "perdón". La factura de 70 libras era, imho, muy razonable. Volveré en mi próximo viaje a Newcastle o el siguiente, pero uno ya que podemos elegir vestirnos e ir al restaurante "hermana" de The Broad Chare cerca.

great atmosphere & staff, iffy menu selections! lots of weird foods. if you’d like to try pig ears/ heads, this is the place for you! on the flip side, the pork chop & scotch egg are great!

Came here for the scotch egg 🥚 and it was a good one !

Probably the best Sunday lunch I have eaten for al long time, very tasty, I can see how the restaurant is so busy 👏🍷👍

Fantastic food, really good service

Fabulous food and friendly service. The liver was melt in the mouth delicious and the hake was perfect. You can see and taste the quality of the ingredients and the cooking. Can't recommend highly enough. A main and pudding with a couple of drinks each came to £50/head. Worth every penny which is not something you can say about a lot of places in Newcastle. Will definitely be back for more.

Excellent food and great service.

Great location, great atmosphere, beautiful food. I had a Lamb shoulder and normally I'm not a massive fan of lamb, but that was hands down one of the best. So tender and the mint sauce was fresh. Would definitely go again.

Qué bar maravilloso. Tuvimos una cena encantadora sentados abajo, ya que teníamos el perro con nosotros, pero nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenido y la comida era deliciosa. Muy recomendable.

Shown to a table straight away food was excellent too much for me I would definitely go back there again

We were really looking forward to eating here after seeing all the reviews. The food was very expensive and the steak was really disappointing. All of the steaks had grizzle in them. They were also weren’t very tasty and hadn’t been seasoned well. It was very busy for a Monday night but disappointing.

The steak was very expensive and lacked seasoning and was grisly. I had been really looking to coming here but was disappointed. Overall we spent a lot of money but we were not at all satisfied. The restaurant was very busy but lacked finesse.

Fantastic food, great staff . Absolutely brilliant,

Scotch Eggs and Sauvignon blanc, sooo good.

Excellent staff and wonderful food Very noisy tables near us and was an hour of really loud talking shouting and laughing which was noticeably different to our first experience and nothing really that staff can change Just hard to hear ourselves speak and had to go with it …we did a 9pm booking and would go back to an earlier time when we come again

Great service food is good but portions quite large for main course and bar snacks were more than snacks so maybe bear in mind when ordering main course perhaps just 1 or 2 bar snacks to share. Sadly haddock had run out by 8.00pm. Wine we ordered was not that great as no body to it given Australian Chardonnay which is normally full of body for a white.

The food was outstanding and great value for such high quality, the service again was amazing and the drinks excellent. We will visit again, only downside was it is very busty and tables very close together and it became a little noisy at times.

Informal and a lovely atmosphere, food was unpretentious but large portions and of excellent quality and taste

My wife and I made our first visit to The Broad Chare for lunch, upstairs in the dining room, to celebrate my birthday, and what an excellent choice we made. We decided to mark the occasion by having the T-bone steak to share - we realised that neither of us had ever had that cut before - and I can't imagine it could be better. The meat was perfectly cooked, the blue cheese salad was delicious, it was a memorable dish. The starters were excellent as well - can't say much about the desserts because all we were capable of by that stage was lemon sorbet each! When we arrived there was only one other table occupied, but it soon filled up and was a really good atmosphere. Staff were all friendly and efficient. A bit pricy, but it was a birthday lunch and definitely worth it!

Great food in a buzzing venue. The service was just right too!

Outstanding Service , Great Food and Noise ! Low ceiling I guess

Fantastic Sunday lunch, pace of service was perfect and the choice of drinks is excellent. Special shout out to the slightly rare roast beef.

Good service with great food. Always a welcoming place and a fabulous meal is guaranteed. Interesting range of well kept beers and wines. Well deserving its place on the best 50 gastropubs and the Michelin Bib Gourmand.

It is the managers , Steve, birthday tomorrow. Happy Birthday Steve, looking good for only 43 !! Yes folks that’s what he said !!

I can’t recommend Broad Chare highly enough. Fantastic service, great beers and drink selection, fantastic food. We were there for Burns Night and the atmosphere and food were just excellent. I can’t wait to return.

Fantastic choice of ales with a firm favourite, Green Mountain being served here.

A fantastic evening! It had been a few years since our last visit, and the restaurant has certainly retained the high-quality food and service we previously enjoyed. Excellent on all levels.

The Broad Chare always delivers fabulous food, in a great environment, served by friendly efficient staff. Never fails to impress.

Having moved out the area, it was great to be back at Broad Chare. As usual it was amazing.

Fabulous food and drink at special prices during Restaurant Week, super professional service too.

So we ordered a few bar snack to share (quite big and 2 would have done), monkfish cheeks, pigs ears and roasted cauliflower. All delicious. Pigs ears a bit like crackling from roast pork. Ordered a bottle of Bulgarian Red, which could have done with 24 hours to breathe, but had to make do with an hour instead. It was great paired with our lamb. Roast lamb was a dish for at least 2 people and came with red cabbage, dauphinois potatoes (they served it up as a gratin) and greens. Absolutely delicious. Only gripe was that the vegetables were a bit too over-seasoned and could have been a wee bit less salty. Staff were attentive, but not overly so and the ambience is perfect. Visited many times and it never disappoints

As always , fabulous food . Never disappoints . Our favourite restaurant in Newcastle

The food is gorgeous as always and good portion sizes.

Fabulous food; friendly yet efficient service; lively atmosphere.... what's not to love !

This was a birthday meal and it did not disappoint! Food and service was exceptional can’t wait to return

Superb food and service in a relaxed atmosphere .Good selection of beers and wines

Excellent food, the lentil and oxtail soup was superb.

Reservamos para el almuerzo del domingo, y el restaurante no decepcionó, Los entrantes de ensalada de cangrejo y los haggis en tostadas son muy buenos, el almuerzo del domingo de ternera son muy sabrosos y bien vale la pena el precio, bien vale la pena una visita, pero tendrá solo 2 platos la próxima vez.

The food was delicious with perfectly paired flavours. Everything I ate was delightful. The servers were very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. I highly recommend.

Greeted and taken to our table upstairs. The restaurant even at 12:50 was very busy. Lovely cozy clean vibe busy with staff who were very attentive. We were shortly over to a better table by the window which was also a little larger. I had a voucher for my birthday. Don’t know how they knew, but they gave me a glass of champers which was so kind. We both went for the Sunday roasts, both cooked beautifully but unfortunately were on the tepid side (we like our gravy steaming) so it chilled the food a little. I also had a pear and almond pudding with extra hot (I asked) custard, Devine. We would definitely recommend this Bistro, prices were moderate also. Cant fault the service. Looking forward to going back.

The Broad Chare had great reviews and they were spot on. I had a wonderful meal here. Great fish and chips and a great soup. Friendly service and very nice atmosphere.

Love going here, it never disappoints. Lovely food .

Great food, great atmosphere, definitely going back.

The restaurant was busy but was as excellent as usual.

Great food and wine, very pleasant and attentive staff and a warm and relax d atmosphere made for a lovely evening! Would recommend!

Fabulous experience. Excellent food and wonderful service

Wow! Being wanting to try this restaurant for a long time. Absolutely brilliant!. Food, service, ambiance.... Just brilliant. Can't believe I waiting so long to visit this place. Definitely my new go-to restaurant in Newcastle.

Excellent food, friendly efficient staff and great value for money

Lamb shoulder can easily feed 3. Expensive but the portions are large and food cooked really well

Best pub in town Also restourant food exceptional

Superb food and wine choice as always. First Christmas Turkey of the year loved it thank you. Service as always spot on

So good I bought my daughter and son-in-law a £100 voucher to enjoy a meal soon. We will definitely come again.

We took our two children for an early evening dinner and felt comfortable and welcome. Food was outstanding, the Sunday lunch was delicious, meat as so tender and lots of it. Lovely atmosphere.

Great restaurant serving terrific food. Started with monkfish cheeks and followed up with a lamb roast dinner. A very generous portion and along with roasts and vegetables all cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. Good choice of wines but all expensive. £30 for what was a basic red the cheapest available.

Delicious food including an excellent game pie, excellent service and lovely ambience. Nice to be able to hear yourself speak compared with the restaurant we ate at the next day!

The haggis starter was out of this world, unbelievable taste. The rump burger was overcooked, very dry and had little taste. Dessert stunning. Lovely place to eat but let down by the main.

Brilliant night, good food and wine and the pace of service was perfect!

Great service,food lovely,restaurant has a great atmosphere. .

We enjoyed a very good Sunday lunch yesterday , excellent value for £20 Sunday roast and lovely service . We opted to share a bottle of red wine , Pinotage being our favourite . I believe the wines started at £30 and this bottle was £38 , more than we would usually pay . The wine was very enjoyable and I took a picture of the bottle thinking I would like to buy a couple of bottles . The wine turned out to be available at £8.82 online . I would always expect wine to be dearer in a restaurant but this is extortionate !!! Sadly this will put us off returning .

Just lush. Talented chefs. Nice staff. Great buzz.

Sunday lunch, great food, great service, great location.

Outstanding pub food. Great service. I had the fish and chips and the fish was perfectly cooked.

Loved the food, old pub food but done so well. large beer selection and great atmosphere. slightly let down by service and being allowed to order a £60 bottle of beer by accident without anyone saying anything. would recommend it though (just check prices before ordering, unlike me).

Genuinely brilliant, great food (we had the Sunday roast main course), wine and beer. Staff friendly and totally on it. We both loved it. Thanks

What an excellent place to eat. Absolute perfection. Food, atmosphere, service, location and price can't be beaten. Thank you for yet another marvellous meal. I'll keep on returning regularly.

Food was fabulous, great options on both food and drink. The service was exceptional.

Good service, food and a warm comfortable atmosphere, however the food was really salty.

Not a Michelin standard restaurant. Basic pub meal held up by a warm atmosphere and very good service/ waiting staff. Haddock with heavy overdone batter, dark brown rather than golden and partners roast potatoes burnt and dry at the edges . Such basic staples should be accomplished with ease?

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great food selection and plenty of choice in drinks. Excellent.

We had the Lamb shoulder to share. It was amazing food. The wine was delicious, and so were the beers fruh and vedette. The staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely be visiting again!! Thank you Kye & Janette

We sat upstairs in a busy and festive environment which was lovely as I’d taken my daughter out for a lunchtime treat. The food was superb and this is quite possibly my best meal in a long long time. I wouldn’t change a thing.

The roast squash, lentil and sheep curd was different and delicious.

A lovely venue, with great character, friendly and helpful staff, tasty and plentiful food. We had a really enjoyable evening.

Good choice of food, nicely presented. Staff were lovely & helpful. The only issue I had was where we sat was cold & draughty due to holes in the old door. Daylight was visible & a very cold d draught was blowing through. It wouldn’t take much to block these up & it certainly didn’t spoil our meal.

Had wonderful meal to celebrate my wife's birthday. All the food between 3 of us was cooked beautifully and tasted great. The service was welcoming, friendly and efficient.

First time we’ve been for a Sunday roast. Really enjoyed our experience. Staff were great, good spoke for myself! Looking forward to returning.

Superb restaurant, excellent food drink and service. No wonder it is sooooo popular, love it. Have the oysters! Delish

If you want a good night out you must go to the Broad Chare where the food is fantastic, the beers brilliant and the atmosphere is happy. Enjoy yourselves.

Just popped in for a snack. Delicious

Excellent as ever with food fantastic Always a pleasure to done here

This is some of the best food in Newcastle. My Dover sole was slightly over but the other dishes were on point. Great service and the ambience is always lively which I love, can’t wait to go back.

Excellent as always 🙌💫 fantastic food and service

One of our favourite places to dine. Consistently great food, service and atmosphere. Sunday lunch is special.

Food was really good, some classic pub dishes cooked beautifully just don't order the £60 bottle of beer by mistake.

Lovely and cosy, delicious comfort food. Good service.
