The Earl of Pitt Street in Newcastle upon Tyne

Excellent Sunday dinner really good and an interesting location.

Great place for a little bit of fusion food on the outskirts of town.

Very friendly pub. Sunday lunch was amazing, the manager and staff were fantastic. We will be back.

We were a group of 4 adults visiting on Sunday 16 February for Sunday Roast Lunch. Two of us had roast beef, one had roast pork and one had nut roast. Everyone agreed the food was delicious, the main course portions were so large three of us couldn't finish everything on our plates. We each had a different dessert and those too were delicious. The service was very good. I look forward to going back on a weekday to trying out their normal menu. We had a very humorous and friendly chat with Mark the manager too. It was very busy; the earliest booking we could get was at 16.00 so if you want an earlier time on a Sunday you'll need to book well in advance. It's only a short walk to St James Park so a good place to go for a pre-match , or post-match meal.

Amazing food every time! The service is brilliant too. We always go for Sunday lunch and it’s just cooked perfectly. Very reasonable for the quantity and quality of the food.

One of the best Sunday lunches in Newcastle. Fabulous service very attentive to my little one both times I visited.

While the food was okay. I didn’t get a chance to have my dessert. The staff were pleasant but the owner was a complete nightmare and lost his temper for no reason. I feel sorry for the staff having to work for him.

What fantastic Sunday lunch probably the best in Newcastle, will be back great food and service

Was looking to get in in the end of restaurant week and saw a FB post for here, was the last night. Having been for Sunday lunch previously, booked a 7pm slot. Forgot how good this place was. £25 for 3 superb courses. House wine, £26, par for the course. We were seated upstairs and both the male and female waiters were top draw. I had goats cheese and chutney followed by gammon in mustard sauce with black pudding mash. Other half had a home made burger. Finished off sharing a brownie and fruit crumble. Total bill including service charges £82. Not a lover of service charges but was assured this went to the staff and would have tipped that anyway. All round good experience. Top food service and ambience. Thank you all!

Looking through the restaurants participating in the Newcastle restaurant week and seeing the Earl of Pitt Street on the list, we decided to book. It's been a while since our last visit. We arrived and were shown to our table by an attentive and friendly waitress. The drinks order was taken, and they arrived quickly. We ordered a starter and mains course, as we were not sure if we would have room for desert. The sun was dazzling my wife due to the position of the seat. Mark the owner noticed this and suggested he put a seat at the end of the table which she appreciated and i thought was a nice touch from our host. The starters were very tasty and perfect size for us. I had the pav bhaji, which I would recommend. After a nice break, the main courses arrived. I had sea bass, which was cooked perfectly. We then checked the deserts, and both decided to try the fruit crumble with custard. Again, this was very tasty and a generous portion. This visit reminded us of how good the food is, and we won't leave it so long before returning.

Fabulous food, staff, ambience and surroundings. Always been one of the best in Newcastle!

Was out last night with my boss and her husband, our colleague and my wife! I tend to try and organise restaurant week at independent places and was glad to return to the Earl of Pitt Street. We all loved our food - most of us had the pork soy bau choy (Asian pork with lettuce cups) for starter, and I had the gammon with black pudding mash for mains. My wife is lactose intolerant and was so happy to have Indian options for the starter and main as usually she can't find places that are dairy-free. We all went for dessert - I was so full that I took my crumble home but that just meant I had the breakfast of champions this morning! Service was fab and prices definitely worth it for the 3 course option. I've not tried other days like the Sunday roast yet but after a couple of visits so far where it's been great, I'm definitely looking forward to returning!

First time for a Sunday roast and won't be the last. Service was brilliant from start to finish. We went for the beef roast and it was incredible. Highly recommend reserving a table like we did though as the phone was none stop with people trying to get booked in. It's easy to see why as it was a little gem of a pub with plenty for people to enjoy!

Sunday lunch was amazing here ! Great service and good atmosphere. A new favourite .

Lovely food. Just been for a Christmas night out and we had the whole top floor to ourselves. The food was superb and served hot and tasty. Honestly I couldn’t fault any of it. Friendly young waitresses and ready to help when needed. Great pub and super food. Yummy!

Beautiful Sunday lunch served quickly by friendly staff. Both children and dog friendly but, due to limited space make sure you notify them if your bringing a pram, or have one that can fold up small

We decided after looking at various venues to celebrate our father's birthday here (84yrs). The food was very good and the staff very attentive, sadly let down by the manager chastising staff infront of customers. Mistakes can be made along with learning curves for younger staff members. There is a time and place and a quiet word to the side should have been made out of earshot of customers. Well done to staff members for no negative response infront of customers to their colleagues. Yes, there was a learning curve but could have been dealt with very differently, it spoilt my experience of the venue.

Fantastic Sunday roast - perfect in every way, a generous portion of pork, served piping hot with giant, fluffy yorkshires and a really flavoured gravy on a mountain of veg. Sticky toffee pudding desert was a step too far, but so worth it.

It's a real pub with great beer and very nice staff.

Really good Sunday lunch, with a couple of vegan options, highly recommended

What a marvelous little restaurant booked online first time there won't be the last apart from having no port left and only one malt whisky on their gantry Our party of four had wonderful food and very good service in a great atmosphere....try it you will not be disappointed

Great friendly service. Tasty starters and melt in the mouth slow cooked beef and lamb. No roon for desert. Recommended if in the area.

Food was excellent, staff were friendly. Definitely will be returning. Definitely recommend the Vietnamese beef!

Great Sunday lunch. Slow cooked lamb and beef recommended. Good attentive service

We had high hopes for Sunday lunch here but were very disappointed. We booked in advance. When we got there at the right time, it was chaos. The restaurant was very busy and the owner/manager was stressed. He was behind the bar and shouting at the staff as they were trying to get tables cleared and people seated. He said they had people turn up early and had seated them?! We waited at the busy bar with a drink, no where to sit for a good 20 minutes. The other staff were lovely and apologised for our wait and said the food was lovely and to not worry. We got seated and waited a good half hour after this for our food. The roast beef was acceptable, could have been hotter. There was no French mustard. A dinner is £20, not cheap. We spent over £100 for 3 Sunday roasts, drinks and the 10% service charge, a disappointing expensive afternoon out! A shame. I have been here for food once before and it was lovely had fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding.

One of the best Sunday lunches I've ever had. Excellent service, good beer.

This pub is by far the best place for a Sunday roast. We absolutely love it! We love the staff, the owners and the chefs that cook the food. We don’t mind waiting for our table as we love to People watch with a gorgeous glass of chilled rose blush. I work in hospitality and totally understand the pressure and hard work these guys are under especially on a Sunday. It’s well worth a visit and I can assure you that you WILL be back! Mark and beau ! And the rest of the staff ! You are brilliant ! And the hubby got his long awaited earl t-shirt. Happy dayz

Tasty, good quality Sunday lunch. Welcomed our dog downstairs, even offered our dog water and bits of meat! Friendly, welcoming staff. Lovely, quirky decor. Food really was one of the best Sunday lunches had in a pub or restaurant. Recomend the beef!

We popped in for a celebratory dinner and the staff were absolute superstars. Really enjoyed it, great food and lovely staff. Highly recommend. Vegan brownies are ace. Cheers ladies :)

Best lamb dinner ever would highly recommend it great atmosphere was buzzing , service amazing wine very good lovely and cold

I'm a vegetarian, had the nut roast. Tasted really good and the service was great. my friends had chicken and beef roasts the enjoyed it too.

First time in Newcastle all I can say is so friendly staff went extra mile defo recommend going for beer here before and after game see u guys soon x

Crap management, who cannot be nice to their customers just because they are very busy. Old man problems!

Really, cool pub which we visited for a meal. Staff were so welcoming and helpful and this place is super dog friendly which was a bonus. The food choice was Asian fusion and generally the quality of the food was good, however it was quite spicy and therefore not to our taste. Would have been great to see descriptions of spice levels on the menu and a few more vegetarian options. Can imagine is a great place for a drink.

Lunch was excellent and well priced. Staff very friendly. It was a little quiet but we were there early afternoon during the student break. Would return to the area specifically to visit the Earl of Pitt Street. Would recommend and will definitely be back.

We went for lunch and weren't disappointed 😊 The food was fab (we'll definitely be back). The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. It was quiet when we went but we loved the quirky decor.

Best Sunday lunch by a country mile in the North east! Service, flavours, staff are all absolute perfection! Family friendly and really fab vibes!

Absolutely gorgeous food friendly staff

Having visited here years ago and being impressed, I have been patiently waiting to return. We visited during restaurant week and the place seemed quite full. We both opted for 3 courses at £25. We arrived at 6 ordering food and drinks not long after. Starters did arrive promptly and were lovely. Mains took a while longer, with people receiving food that was ordered after us. I looked around and the bar man peered back looking at our table. He came over and asked if we were still waiting for our mains. After a few minutes he appeared with them, hot and fresh, now 7.15. overall the food was great and I'd go back, service was good apart from the wait.

I went to The Earl of Pitt Street for a Restaurant Week lunch yesterday with my Mum and Dad. We went to The Earl for Restaurant Week earlier this year, and were attracted again by the choice and variety of the menu which once more definitely lived up to expectations! I had Pork san choy bao, spiced pork mince with lettuce cups and chilli jam to start and then Rajasthan royal biryani, onion bhaji, mango curry sauce and cucumber raita for main. My Mum had Salt and pepper chilli squid with seaweed, crispy onion and sweet chilli sauce to start and then Thai red vegetable curry with jasmine rice and flatbread for main. My Dad had The Earls’ Pav Bhaji, Indian vegetable stew with herb yoghurt to start and then North Sea beer battered haddock, hand cut chips, minted peas and tartare sauce for main. Me and my Mum were too full for a dessert, but my Dad thoroughly enjoyed the Sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. All of the food tasted fresh and delicious and the portion sizes were generous. I am dairy free, and the allergen menu and guidance was spot on. The staff are all friendly and professional and Michelle who served us was an absolute star throughout! I would definitely recommend The Earl of Pitt Street and will definitely be back soon!

It’s exceptionally brilliant. Food is gorgeous but it’s all about the service and the general feel of the place. Beautiful

Sunday lunch was absolutely spot on ! Only had the beef so far but no complaints. Highly recommend 👌 Will be returning soon .

Yeah it's as good as they say. (Sunday lunch)

Good vegetarian option that was equal in size and quality to everyone else’s food, super fast and friendly service, would return

Suberb blade of beef for Sunday lunch. Would recommend for a celebration

Amazing Sunday lunch! Beef melts apart. Staff extremely friendly. A lovely quirky pub in city centre

Amazing place for drinks and food. The staff and so friendly and fun. Highly recommend coming here 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Had a fabulous evening enjoying absolutely delicious food, lovely surroundings, friendly staff. Definitely be back

Absolutely fantastic food and service from a very friendly and efficient team. Nicest food we have had in a long time , scallops , belly pork, prawn cocktail, sea bass and veggie curry all first class, and service really excellent. Thank you xx

This is our 4th visit and each time it absolutely astonishes me as to the quality of the food. By far and away my favourite restaurant in Newcastle. I cannot stress how much you need to pay The Earl a visit. 10/10 again. Back again, and even a few more visits inbetween for work clients as well. The staff can't do enough, the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly and the food is, as always, absolutely spot-on. We just love this place.

Delicious food in great surroundings. So good to be back! Thanks to all the wonderful staff for another great evening

Had the Vietnamese Beef, wife had steak. Have to say my beef was perfectly spiced, absolutely delicious. My wife’s steak was lovely but after tasting mine she said we’ll have to go back so she could order it. Finished with forest gateau Elton mess. Staff super friendly, pub nicely decorated. Highly recommended

I have been going for years and I don’t know if it was an off day or if there is a new chef but the food quality is not what it once was. The prices are definitely significantly higher which I don’t mind if it’s consistent and good quality but the prawn cocktail starter was 12 and roast mains almost 20 quid. The staff were very disinterested upstairs serving on and one bauked when asked what the veggies were in the veggie or vegan curry. Seemed unhappy she needed to consult the kitchen. One of us left a whole roast dinner and the question was ‘do you want a box’ not a question about the food being ok etc….. the gravy and chicken were both less tasty, the fish portion tiny for the cost and the curry less flavoursome than previous ones. The service was non- descript and almost rude. This is a shame as really like Mark, have always had good food and it’s been a reasonable venue cost wise. It’s a real shame.

Amazing Sunday lunch! Best place in Newcastle for Sunday lunch. Everything from the meat to the veg, roasties and Yorkshire was amazing Really wanted to try a dessert so had a crumble which was amazing but couldn't finish it I was so full Special thanks to Beau and Mark for amazing service

Absolutely Love this place, good energy, great staff and outstanding food! So lucky to have this in Newcastle. We need to look after our own and this place deserves the hype!

Came here for a family meal, sadly some people in our party were unable come, the man in charge then proceeded to shout at us infront of other customers and telling us too leave all because we were unaware some people were going to be unable to attend without our knowledge. Very rude staff will never be returning.

Absolutely beautiful food and great service,we will definitely be going back.

A perfect dining experience. Excellent friendly service with the highest quality food . We arrived a little early but staff were very helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be returning in the near future!

Delicious food , excellent service . Couldn’t ask for more . We were a group of 8 celebrating birthdays and Easter . My 87 year old mum was treated so kindly I am very grateful. Highly recommended. Thank you everyone.

This place is amazing! The service is 10/10 so friendly! The food (sunday lunch) was one of the best i have had! The venue was very clean, will defo go back!

Wow, wow, wow went for Easter dinner and it didn’t disappoint. Staff were fantastic and cater for everyone’s needs. Dinner was absolutely delicious could not fault. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back

Friendly staff and good food. Have the tempura prawns to share and the steak and chicken shawarma. All tasty and well cooked. A little hidden away but well worth a visit.

I went for lunch with three friends and we had a really lovely afternoon We were very well looked after by Martyn and Beau The food was lovely, and I particularly recommend the tempura prawns and the Vietnamese fillet steak stirfry The bar has a certain character about it, and the toilets were very clean There was an excellent selection of mid range priced food and a good wine list I very much look forward to my next visit

My family arranged Mother’s Day lunch here. Food was great. It gets very very busy. This time we were more comfortable than an evening meal we’d had here previously. Last time we felt very squashed in. It’s a popular place so booking is recommended.

Best Sunday lunch in Newcastle and one of the best in the North East by far. Food on other days is also always tremendous. I have eaten here a few times now and have never been disappointed

Mothers day lunch at the earl of pit street was outstanding, fantastic quality produce cooked perfectly and great service as always, can’t get better.

Nice food, friendly service, relaxing and well decorated. Been meaning to come here for ages, glad we eventually did today.

Really super meal for 8 of us. Brilliant food and prompt service.

Superb food, first time visiting and wow I was not disappointed! Food was incredible- so fresh and tasty! Staff we really friendly and efficient but not too much in your face which was nice - a perfect balance. We had Sunday lunch and it was just fantastic! Best place in Newcastle for Sunday lunch without a doubt! We will be back!

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Went with friends for a birthday treat. Been meaning to visit for ages. Why did i leave it so long. Great service, gorgeous food and hearty helpings. Quirky, friendly vibe. Loved it!

Amazing food and lovely staff. The bar/restaurant itself looks great and I would highly recommend it for a meal or just a night on the drink.

cozy environment and although we didn't order food it looked delicious!! staff was friendly and accommodating, got my mate a free shot for her birthday :)

Me and my boyfriend came to the Earl for our valentines meal and had such a lovely time. The staff were super attentive and every course we ate was absolutely gorgeous. Couldn’t recommend enough, we’re 100% coming back to try the sunday menu asap! 🙂

Just back from a Valentines meal. Absolutely lovely. Great little bar - a hidden gem. Staff great. Will be booking up for Sunday lunch soon. Thank you!

Fantastic Sunday lunch, by far the best we’ve had in a long time. I had the pork and my husband had the lamb, veg was cooked perfectly. Cannot wait to come back already. Lovely little place with a lot of atmosphere.

Had the Sunday lunch. Lamb was good, everything else on the plate was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The best elements were the swede puree and the Yorkshire pudding.

I have visited the Earl of Pitt street many times for Sunday lunch over the years, but my experience today has left me absolutely not willing to return. We booked a table for 6 people at 3pm, when we arrived, baby in pram in tow, we were sent up the stairs but the staff at the bar. Absolutely no problem at all, we got ourselves upstairs with the pram. When we walked in to the main dining room where our table was, the owner looked at us as if we were aliens. He started to raise his voice and ask us why we had been stupid enough to come upstairs with a pram, it was all a massive inconvenience to him that he didn’t have a table where a pram would fit. Had the staff downstairs not just sent us upstairs I would have maybe agreed we had been better suited to sitting downstairs. He wanted to know who had booked the table, why I hadn’t said there would be a baby in a pram(?!) and got in my face saying ‘INFORMATION IS KEY’ My friend who is a new mother has never felt so uncomfortable or unwanted in a restaurant, she was nearly bought to tears. When I told him that the people downstairs had sent us up he said they were young and Inexperienced (not sure how his staffing competencies is our problem) I could go on about all the ways he over reacted, shouting at staff, ringing downstairs effing and blinding. We had to apologise to other eaters who had all ground to a halt to take in the uncomfortable scene. Even after all this, had he approached our table to explain he had been stressed and apologised, I think we would have been fine. But nothing. It’s such a shame as the food is stunning, atmosphere great, and decor beautiful. But today’s experience has left nor me or any of my friends and family Ever willing to return. My advice to the owner would be to inject some compassion and understanding into his management style, and an apology goes a long way. All the best.

One of the better places in Newcastle for Sunday dinner. Unassuming Pub, serving really good quality food. You really can’t go wrong, Beef, Lamb or Pork, all are delicious. My resident Vege had high remarks for the Nut roast. The only gripe I’d say is the price, the prices have gone up around 40% in the last year and there is no deals for 2 or 3 courses.

I went to The Earl for Restaurant Week lunch last week with my parents. Interesting menu with a varied selection, delicious food, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere! I hadn't eaten here for over two years, I will definitely be gack again soon!

reastraunt week food nice staff friendly

Never had a bad dish or a bad experience here. The owner and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. A credit to Newcastle's culinary market.

Quite probably the best Sunday lunch ever! The food was so good, we had Lamb and belly pork, with a side of piggies in blankets, everything was just perfect! The place is very quirky, so great surroundings and the staff just the right amount of attentiveness, will definitely be going back!

Possibly the best Xmas Dinner I've ever been served. Absolutely top drawer!

Great place, amazing food and fantastic staff ! Definitely five stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely food with great service and friendly staff. We were not rushed to vacate our table. Thoroughly recommend

From going through the doors and smelling the FANTASTIC fragrances of the food, the variety of drinks on offer...and sadly I can't recall which real ale I had...but it was pale yellow in colour and it was the best alcoholic drink I've ever had!! Golden nectar it most certainly was. I had the Korean Chicken and it was absolutely superb. Looking for a hidden gem? You've just found it!! Enjoy!!

I highly recommend the Earl of Pitt Street. The food is amazing and at a very reasonable price. It's a hidden gem.

Back again for their Sunday lunch. Absolutely outstanding. Lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff. Dog friendly, and he was also treated to some titbits. Can't wait to go back again..

Always above and beyond service and food impeccable staff attentive and helpful

Great food and friendly but felt a bit chased out - took away our wine glasses when we’d still wine left, bringing in plant pots from outside and turning lights off around us at 9:15pm.

We went on 26/9 day after my birthday expecting the a la carte, not to be they don’t serve on Tuesday, so disappointed. Bo the server spoke To the chef and he asked what we would have from the a la carte, I chose the lamb randani which was amazing and he went out of his way and rustled this up for me. I honestly couldn’t fault the service I had the Eton Mess and they even put a candle in it and both Bo, Katie and chef sang happy birthday. We can’t thank you enough we had a lovely afternoon and will definitely be back and maybe not be so demanding ha ha sorry girls

Treated my sister for her 60th birthday today. Didn’t realise it wasn’t a la carte during the week and my sister didn’t like burgers but wasn’t disappointed as Bo pulled out all the stops and asked the chef to cook her something special which he did and i had the delicious tacos from the lunch menu. Then Bo, Katie and the chef ( sorry didn’t get your name) sang happy birthday. It absolutely made her day very special - thankyou so much xx

Food is far above average, well worth it

Very friendly place, staff chatty and welcoming. I really enjoyed my burger and fries.

Lovely pub with really friendly and helpful staff. Had the best roast dinner I've had in years 😋

Managed to get a table last minute for Sunday lunch and how lucky we were. Delicious food, superb staff, fantastic venue, beautifully styled. Go, now!

Sat outside on a very warm Wednesday afternoon, staff were pleasant, it was busy and the menu was decent. Food was lovely

Fabulous couple of meals here with friends and pup in tow. Really well looked after, great food and the dog got a lot of love 🐩🥰 Food is a mix of nicely executed Asian influence dishes and traditional British favourites. The tempura prawns are huge, juicy and crispy, with a very moreish noodle salad. The burger a decent size with goodb"normal"fries and the Sunday roasts really really generous portions with loads of gravy. Loved this place and the staff!
