The Falcons Nest in Newcastle upon Tyne

Stunning food from Matty and amazing service from Abbie. Will be back again soon

Ad hoc stop here, and it was lovely. The waiter/server, Finn, was really good. He was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and nothing was too much trouble. Food was nice as well. The service here was 2nd to none. Keep this up, a lot of places forget about going the extra mile. My son has allergies, and they were taken seriously and didn't feel like it was an inconvenience which most places do. Definitely will return.

Enjoyed the excellent service and the atmosphere the food was lovely and staff excellent especially Finn. Will be back soon definitely .

Business meal. Thank u Sarah for serving us. Food was super! Great evening.

Lydia and Abbie served us, they were pleasant and laughed at my terrible humour. Matty cooked the burger too much, it was slightly dry. The rice bowl was lovely, but a larger portion would have been nice, would have been happy if the chicken wasn't battered, but was a nice touch. Loved the salads, loved the starter, confused by the dimming of the lights when it got dark. Beer was nice too. Candle on the table was unnecessary if it's not being lit. Overall a nice meal and beer. The music was in good taste on the sound system, would've enjoyed quiz style 😁

Good friendly service by Sarah and the food by Danny and Michael was really nice.

Comida increíble - lubina y pollo al curry! También increíble servicio de Olivia! Sin duda volver y disfrutar de todo el ambiente, el servicio y la comida!

Beautiful Sunday Roast as always and exceptional service particularly from Vaso.

Myself and a colleague were attending a business expo at the racecourse over the road, we wanted to catch up somewhere less overrun with people and spotted the Falcons Nest - met at the bar by Natalie and the other team member all fully of the smiles of spring, we opted for a less formal table in the bar so we could catch up over a pint and sandwich. The menu was varied with some nibbles, chorizo sausages and sauce and scotch egg, and we both choose a main - my colleague a signature burger and I the fish finger sandwich. We enjoyed catching up and the food arrived swiftly and was throughly delightful - highly recommend the scotch egg, just how I like it still runny in the middle! We paid at the bar and was wished a very warm farewell. What a lovely team, venue and delicious food - we will both be back!

Lovely Sunday lunch. A little pricey but worth it. Will definitely be going again.

Really lovely food , We had chicken skewers for starters and then slow cooked belly pork -- scrummy !. Hubby had the scallops. We hadn't been here for over a year , and last time it was dreadful. We only returned as were given a voucher to spend, but I'm so glad we did . The food and service has vastly improved now . Staff were very attentive and smiley too . Courtney was lovely with our granddaughter , making sure everything was spot on . Our granddaughter has sausage , mash and peas , with her own jug of gravy -- she ate the lot ! Followed by chocolate brownie and ice cream. We will definitely return again soon !

We were served by Natalie what was very friendly and helpful. All the meals were served together. Attentive staff. Overall everyone enjoyed their meal. Would definitely recommend.

Great food and excellent table service

Very warm and friendly service from Natalie, food was nice but overpriced for what it was.

fab Sunday roast, good veggie options and puddings. Natalie looked after us, Matthew and Danielle on chef duty, food was lush, thanks!

Went for Sunday lunch which was beautiful, meat melted in your mouth and veg lovely and crisp. Deserts were delicious especially the lemon tart. We were served by a lovely lady called Natalie who was very friendly. Will definitely return

Great - Abbie in particular was a great server!

Fantastic venue, excellent service by Natalie

Nice atmosphere and lovely service! Had a nice dinner.

Absolutely love this place atmosphere is always lovely and the staffa r so accommodating my servers tonight were Abbie and Lexi they were wonderful and absolute credit to the falcons nest they were respectful, accommodating and perfect in every way thank you so much for making my 45th birthday with my husband a forever memorable experience xx

Had chicken Parmesan it was awesome!!!

Fairly average for a restaurant dressed up to look like a pub, but prices are definitely higher than I'd expect for a pub, especially as non-service dogs are allowed in all food areas, petted then food/drinks handled, decor and furnishings in good repair. Not a social pub atmosphere either as the entire space is dedicated to dining. It is what it is, a budget pub-themed restaurant with prices of a good restaurant. Chef though did have the decency to alert and ask if I still wanted the additional slice of applewood cheese I requested, as it wasn't a cheese but a vegan fake cheese, he kindly found a real cheese alternative although not a scrummy applewood or montaray jack, food was well cooked and a good crispy crumb on the chicken.

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, falcons nest is the place to be! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and an inviting ambiance that set the tone for the evening. The ribeye steak with the garlic prawn skewers was an absolute masterpiece—every bite was bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. Special shoutout to sticky platter starter which was a delightful surprise! The attention to detail in presentation and quality was truly remarkable. "Abbie" our server went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy throughout our meal. Their knowledge of the menu and flavour pairings made the experience all the more enjoyable. What really sets falcons nest apart is their commitment to high quality ingredients and innovative recipes. It’s clear the chef "matty B" cares deeply about their craft and their guests. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself to a fantastic treat The falcons nest deserves to be at the top of your list. I can't wait to return and explore more of their incredible menu!

I had brilliant service from Abbie.. the food was far to much my only criticism is my chicken breast was dry needed something to soften it up was hard to cut.. Thank you we will be back..

Mi pareja y yo fuimos a una cena de citas. La comida era un 10 / 10 de mí, las pizzas de hornear a la piedra vale la pena probar, gracias Matty y Collin los chefs esa noche! Y el desmoronamiento que siguió no decepcionó. Atendido por Olivia que entregó un servicio de primera categoría. Gracias halcones anidan para una noche encantadora

Lovely food, everything perfectly cooked, friendly service.

Great service from Natalie, speedy efficient service, Sunday Trio was delicious, all sides got and fresh as well

Great food and service, especially Olivia and Finn they we’re really professional and friendly !

Service was great by Abbie, food was ok, Katsu curry wasn’t available replacement meal was blurh. Veggy burger was nice, Fisgcakes were dry and hard and tasteless tbh. Presentation good, not really hot enough

Great little pub that does really nice food... Stopped in for lunch with a friend and wasn't disappointed. Prices are about right for the type and amount of pub grub. You can get a two course lunch for less than £20 on a Monday to Thursday before 5pm... Recommended...

We were served by Danielle, who with all the other staff always makes us feel very welcome. Polite staff. Great service. Lovely food. Nice venue & atmosphere.

Lovely pub very kind and helpful staff(lydia is a legend) hands down the best Sunday roast I've ever had the chef deserves a pat on the back👏⚫️⚪️

Love these guys they are fabulous! We had my sons' Christening do in the small room and a staff Xmas party. The staff are genuinely lovely. The food is good (I love the flat bread and skewers). The Vintage Inn App always unlocks good discounts. The decor is fab. Easy to park. Recommend!!

Went for brunch as staying at hotel across the roundabout for the racing. Quality food competitive pricing would recommend.

Our second consecutive meal at the Falcons Nest. The food and service is absolutely fantastic. Abbie looked after us today and she was so pleasant and professional. A credit to the place. Hope to return before the end of our holiday 🤞🏼 Highly recommended restaurant 5⭐️ .

Lovely meal, great staff and fantastic service from Abbie xxx

Our food was late and when it did arrive, the food was cold, the meat was tough, the potatoes were burnt (can’t submit photos on here unfortunately), and the overall standard was lacking considering the order cost nearly £60. Very disappointed!

Lovely place, we visit quite often

Lovely selection of ales, nice food, friendly service

I had a meal new year eve so it was a set menu. It was very nice food, good atmosphere & great service. I would definitely recommend & I would definitely visit again.

Had a birthday meal there. They had forgotten to decorate the table so it was a disappointing start. Service was excellent but the food was very mediocre, very few and small cubes of chicken in the curry. Small portions, dessert was comically tiny. Expensive for what you get, and that’s compared to central London. Better off going to Gosforth High Street.

Booked here after a recommendation from a family member, food was average and we thought over priced for what it was, I’ve heard good things about the Sunday dinners and will more than likely try one but not in a hurry to go back

Sat in the corner with an old friend. I suffer from agoraphobia so this was a big deal for me. The staff was great, the corner was ideal and I ended up staying out a lot longer than I thought I ever would. We put everything on a tab and paid at the end, was really straight forward. Thank you to my friend for going to the bar for me and ordering :)

Very good server by Natalie and food by Danielle and team. I have been there several time also with my children. Very good to enjoy a family moment.

Friendly staff, good service and lovely food. Recommended. 👍🏼

We came here for a meal and drink whilst staying at the Travelodge on our way to Scotland. The meal was lovely and we were well looked after by all staff, but especially Lydia

Familiar with other Vintage Inns around the country. Familiar menu. Friendly and great food. Good service. Thanks to Abbie K and compliments to Dani the chef!

lovely food made by dani, served by the haggis man and lydia, amazing and quick service. would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Food was outstanding! Cooked by Danielle and Matty S. I had the Beef sandwich and will definitely be back for another. Served by the Haggis man on the bar who poured a lovely pint of neck oil ! Would recommend to all!

I was served by Kerry(?). Pleasant person and good customer skills (the other staff I spoke to where also nice.) Danni(?) Was my chef. Very nice food I had the Tandoori chicken skewer for a starter. Small portion but I might just be a glutton. Pork belly was very nice (I usually have this Chinese style with a big fat crispy cap on it) this was the fist time I had pork belly this style and it was slow cooked, soft and tender. Very nice. Mash was nice. Couldve done with more gravy but I am from Lancashire and I like to have plenty of gravy. Overall, would recommend. No faults. This is my second time visiting and I will be back when I'm next in Gosforth, I specifically book the travelodge to come back to this place, I much prefer premier inn. I hope this review reaches management and gives you a little chuckle. Here's a joke for you: What do you call a well-balanced horse? Stable.

Food extremely poor, overcooked! We are frequent visitors to the area and have eaten here regularly due to the excellent quality of food, however we were unimpressed with the breakfast and evening meal on our last visit earlier this year and again for breakfast this morning. The standard of food has really deteriorated. This is such a shame as the Falcons Nest is beautiful and the service excellent, sadly let down by the food. We had booked for an evening meal tonight, but will be cancelling and going elsewhere.

thought we'd be getting fries as there was an option to change for chips

I had a lovely chicken bacon and avo salad . Chicken had a lovely chargrill taste plenty of salad and garlic bread . I really enjoyed it

Food was beautiful, full of flavour and piping hot. Our chef was Matty S and we couldn't fault the food. We were served by Abbie who was so lovely, really friendly and polite but not overbearing and kindly moved us tables when we asked. She's a credit to the pub.

The food was amazing and so were the staff I love it here. Staff always so welcoming and friendly.

The manager gave very attentive service and excellent guidance on various menu items. I also received a bottle of Prosecco as a birthday gift, which was a very kind and thoughtful gesture.

Stopped here on way home from Scotland. Dog friendly. Lovely place Great service. Food was great too. Thanks for having us.

Just went for a couple of drinks but it’s quite nice and clean inside and service is great.

We booked a table for 3 which was easy to do through the website. The food was amazing. My wife and mother-in-law had the fishcakes which they described as the best they had ever had. I had the charcuterie pizza which was beautiful. The puddings were also wonderful (the chocolate orange is well worth a try). The service was excellent. The staff were really attentive and friendly. Checked that everything was to our satisfaction. Good choice of drinks. We Were served by Tam and the chefs were Matty & Colin. Shout out to all the staff. Wonderful night was had by all. Heartily recommended.

The food for Sunday lunch was amazing will be back soon

Me and my partner went to the falcons nest Sat 15th Feb, We had a starter and main course which was absolutely georgous, Compliments to the chefs 10/10, And the waitress Lydia was really good Too, Definitely recommend and will be Returning 😊

Pictures look good. But food is very average . Meat was all fatty. Reheated potato's, stuffing and Yorkshire. Pretty dissapointed. We weren't asked once if everything was OK.... normal hospitality rule?????.. weren't asked if we wanted any desserts... table was cleared and one was still drinking... felt rushed out. Love dogs but constant crying was a bit off putting . Don't think I would re visit as we came from Sunderland.

My experience with The Falcons Nest was amazing. The staff (Courtney, Ian and Lydia) were extremely welcoming and very nice. The food was all top quality and the bar snacks definitely lived up to the price. The chefs Marty B, Micheal and Colin did an amazing job.

Great and quick service from Natalie and outstanding food from the chef, Matthew. Such a hidden gem, some of the best pub food i’ve eaten, never disappoints. Staff are always friendly and food always tastes good. Dog friendly too 🐶

Back from Spain for just a few days!! NEEDED a steak. Beautiful rib-eye! Excellent bottle of wine. Such great friendly & amusing service by Kevin (the main man). Nothing is cheap any more in England! Back in Spain now but if I EVER return to the shores of my Homeland … I’m going to go & see Kevin 😎 Thank you and your staff too for taking care of us. Kind regards

Fast becoming a favourite when we're in this neck of the woods. Food was fantastic, we had the pork belly, chicken parmigiana and fish and chips. All plates were cleared. Reasonably priced. The staff are amazing, especially Abbie and Tom. Shout out to chefs Matt and Colin too. Will definitely be back. Thank you for the warm welcome 🙏 🤗

Visited in November 2024 and loved the ambience, food, staff and drink. Back again in February and nothing's changed. Walked in without a reservation. They were busy with a painting class but there was still room in the restaurant for us. Food was again delicious. Abbie, our waiter was very attentive and appeared to be very happy in her work. Special compliments to Matty S, the chef. Best pork belly around!! Will definitely be back when we're in this neck of the woods again. Well worth the 6 hour drive!

First time for Sunday Lunch. Perfect, would highly recommend

Best Sunday lunch I've had since moving to Newcastle 4 years ago. Slow food delivery, but very good quality and portions

Great time visiting - big thank you to our server Courtney, she was amazing! Also compliments to the chef, Colin

We had Sunday lunch here and once again everything was to our liking, great food with great service, very well cared for by our server Kerry

Had lunch there today with my friend. Sarah served us and Donni and Matty S did the cooking. Both the food and the service were excellent. The sea bass was delicious, especially with the accompanying roast potatoes and prawns. I thought the choice of a mini pudding and a drink was a great idea as sometimes a full dessert is too much. Great crumble and custard. Sarah was very friendly and efficient. We send her our very best wishes. April

Lovely lunch this Wednesday afternoon! Had the fish and chips. Service great from Sarah and food cooked great from chef Danny Lovely! Will return!

Yesterday evening me and my dad stopped by for some food and it was amazing! We got served by maisey on the bar, she was great recommending what beer is most popular! Such a lovely pub!

We had a wonderful experience! Fantastic beef Sunday lunches enjoyed very much by 3 of our group, fish and chips described as excellent and a delicious buttermilk chicken burger. All 5 of us had dessert, with 2 of us opting for the mini dessert and hot drink. All were fantastic. Great, friendly customer service from Abby. We enjoyed the ambience, although dinning was busy it wasn't too noisy, cramped or chaotic. Nothing to improve. 😊

We lived in Gosforth for 20 years and didn’t know the place! Super food and atmosphere full of serenity! Nice smiles from the staff with very nice manner!

After a 6 hour journey, booked into Travelodge and went straight to this pub, which was about 200 yards away. The staff were welcoming, and ghe food amazing, best meal out we had eaten in a while. Good beer too! Would thoroughly recommend.

Friday night so was busier but waited over an hour for food, my vegan option was lovely and adults fish & chips were lovely but the kids burger was cold, greasy and the bun was solid, pizza was a frozen one so wasn’t nice but if we visit with the kids again we’ll order them adult meals because the adult burgers looked lovely.

Just had an early dinner this teatime on New Year's eve and we were served by the lovely Sarah with food cooked by Matty B and Michael. Excellent service all round and food was delicious! We had a couple of vegetarian skewers with flatbread, a fish finger sandwich and a brisket sandwich. The decorations and dining room were pretty too . Ate there again Sunday 19 Jan and Sunday lunch was superb. The turkey was succulent and tasty. Decor is lovely too.

Thank you to the team at falcons on my birthday xxxhad a wonderful time. Staff 1st class xxmy Sunday lunch was just gorgeous xxvery attentive xxxhad a brilliant time xxthank you also for my birthday banner and card xx lots of love Natalie’s mam Dawn xxx

Lovely meal for mams birthday! Table was decorated with banners, also a birthday card from the team was a very nice touch! Food was beautiful! Special shout out to abbie.k, Ian, Courtney,Lydia,Maisey, Danielle, matthew, and the kitchen team! Xxx

Friendly staff and good atmosphere, the food is always really nicely done, great for Sunday lunch

Delicious food, professional service...

We have been visiting the Falcon’s Nest since it opened: previously regular visitors at “The Badger”, in Ponteland. The quality of our experience was excellent. Thank you David Hudson

Had a fantastic Christmas Lunch on the 25th, couldn't have been better. Will definitely consider coming back again as not only do I not have to cook it they make a better job of it too! We'd been once or twice before so will probably try and visit every so often.

We always have a christmas eve meal with the grandchildren, this year we booked in advance for the Falcons nest. The place was rammed, so booking had been wise. We were seated close to other tables with children so I wondered if they kept us all together in a family area. The atmosphere was fabulous and christmassy, the tables had a candle and a mini tree. The food was good but the desserts were the best ever, very very good, the best cheesecake I've had in years (not the usual restaurant foamy stuff)., so compliments to chef Michael. We were served by Abbie who was cheerful, helpful and very attentive, despite being so busy! We've decided to book there again for christmas eve 2025. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff, quiet and warm ambiance. Great place for a quiet evening drink.

Very lovely waitress called Sarah who was very attentive to me and my family.

Quite simply the best Christmas dining I have had. Everything was spot-on.

Great pub. Always has a decent crowd. Food is lovely, nice pint. Like it.

Fabulous night would recommend 👌

Booked for family Christmas lunch after seeing some good reviews, it did not disappoint! Lovely food, great atmosphere! Kudos to Abbie, our server who looked after us and to the chef, Mattys for our fantastic meals!

Had a great Christmas party! Our chef, Michael made such an amazing job, food was superb, I was well impressed with the flavours and portion sizes. Much better than most restaurants.

Fantastic food and service. Came for a work meal and had the festive menu and it was great

I paid for my daughter in law and grandchildren to go to Santas breakfast she said the staff couldn't do enough for them it was cosy Christmasy and Santa was great they each had a present appropriate for their ages a wonderful breakfast which was amazing and all round a wonderful day thankyou so much amazing value for money and wonderful memories made i can't recommend highly enough

Lovely place with amazing food and amazing service. One of us had allergies and Sarah went out of her way to make sure what we were having was fine.

In times gone bye, we had favourite restaurants in town. Then the Falcon’s Nest opened and it has now become our ‘go to’ place to eat. We have got to know the staff; always an advantage; but they continue to make each meal a little special. Thank you to Natalie, and Danielle and Michael in the kitchen.

We often visit the Falcons Nest and always have a great experience but today the food was absolutely exceptional so felt the need to leave a review. The rare fillet steak was cooked to perfection, steak sauce with lots of flavour and lovely crispy but fluffy chunky chips. My husband had the pie of the day and a Camembert to start, said it was all beautiful too. I believe the chef was Colin so please pass on our comments. Service was quick and attentive! Thanks again!

We were served by Olivia who was lovely. Three of us had Sunday lunch, my father in law {85} said that the veg could have been hotter, but the food was tasty.

Booked as a large group for a family meal, we were served by Sasha who was lovely and patient in sorting out the rabble! Food was delicious, we all ordered from the festive menu, all piping hot, beautifully presented and so tasty! Thank you for a lovely evening! Special mention to the chefs Matty B, Michael, Colin, Yash and Matty S
