the five swans in Newcastle upon Tyne

Excellent unlimited coffee, and a great selection of breakfast options

I like to go to this place because it's cheap and cheerful and has a good atmosphere, however I went just before Christmas and decided to go for the Christmas dinner. I can only say it was disappointing! Few vegetables, not much turkey and swimming in gravy. Probably the worst food I've had there unfortunately. I will still go and consider this instance a one-off as the food is usually good value for money. The staff are always very efficient and friendly.

Food terrible, had 3 small plates, food was cold, I did not enjoy any of it. When I got home had to have my tea again.

Staff very attentive and place had a great atmosphere considering how busy it was! We went to the bar to get served and was only there a short while food came quickly and was spot on would recommend!!! 10/10

Friindy atomesphere with the food at a reasonable price.

It's a great place to meet up and relax, intervals from shopping to enjoy food and atmosphere.

Packed to the rafters on a match day afternoon. Great atmosphere, everyone enjoying themselves. Our go to Spoons when visiting Newcastle.

Cheap drinks, and busy as a Wetherspoons usually is on a Fridayevening. Plonked outside for a seat and fresh air before going elsewhere.

Typical Weatherspoons, cheap and cheerful with a great selection of beers!

Only came in for drinks but great service and cracking atmosphere

Great wetherspoons always busy but staff very friendly and efficient. Could do with some general cleaning dirty in places

Ni siquiera pude entrar al pub porque estaba temblando. El portero me dijo que esperara 5 minutos afuera en el clima -2 y luego me dijo que debía estar borracho porque estaba temblando. Teniendo en cuenta que no bebo, obviamente estaba confundida, entonces le pregunté al otro portero y ella dijo que no sabía lo que significaba borracho. Cómo 2 personas pueden estar tan despistadas que no lo sé. Estupidez en su máxima expresión.

Great place to grab a bite to eat. Tables were dirty and the coffee machines were broken.

What a lovely place to get food at really good value for money

Even though this place can get busy, I love the food and drinks here. They offer plenty of options, but I especially go for the passionfruit drink and the steak. The breakfast is top-notch, and the prices are very reasonable too.

Came last night for my birthday, and was appalled by how I was treat. Tables were filthy and hadn’t been cleaned by anyone in hours. Ordered some drinks, showed my ID and was having a great time until the bouncer came over and demanded that I leave. I asked why and he gave absolutely no explanation, offered to show my ID (after he watched me hand it to the woman), and then proceeded to snatch my drink out of my hand and said I would receive a “life ban” if I didn’t leave at that moment. The “bouncers” need proper training instead of intimidating young women, and this isn’t the first instance I’ve heard of staff or bouncers making people, especially women, uncomfortable. Get it sorted. Needs to give their heads a wobble because wtaf!!! £16 down the drain for a poorly made pitcher and a cider. 🤣

A great place to breakfast and only a short 10 minwalk to the central station and near the Haymaket bus station. We'll laid out and as always a great menu and drinks on offer.Very busy I gather on evenings and popular with football fans with St James's Park a short walk away.

Loud mouthed group of women so annoying.

Just a Decent and Reasonable Pub..Good Prices for drinks and the bar staff and doorman are really friendly..A lot of people drink here then go to the City Hall to watch the groups...I hsve never eaten here so i cant really comment on the food..

Visité a estos tipos de camino a la ciudad para un concierto. Pedimos nuestra comida y bebida en la aplicación, así que realmente no nos ocupamos de muchos de los empleados, pero los que nos pusimos en contacto con eran muy amables. Un lugar muy agradable - comida decente a un precio decente.

Visited these guys on our way into town for a gig. We ordered our food and drink on the app so didn't really deal with many of the staff, but the ones we did come into contact with were really friendly. A very nice spot - decent food at a decent price.

Busy city centre pub serving affordably priced food and beverages. I recommend shipyard ale @£2.99 pint

Nice place for a drink and something to eat only bugbear is the toilets are upstairs

Not a bad spot but advertised on the app to close at 2am but asked to leave earlier

One of the best pubs In Newcastle

Burnt mixed grill, indifferent staff and dirty toilets

Great atmosphere buzzing because of Paul Weller gig in city hall

I went in for a light lunch, coffee machine broken, and cheese and tomato panni let's say still looking for the cheese in it.

Can never fault the service in a 'spoons,i mean, it's a chain, but they have the fastest, friendliest staff... no complaints...app is brilliant

Excellent atmosphere and great prices for lager. Excellent for before the Newcastle match.

Nice Pub, clean Toilets, nice staff

Once again problem with the hot chocolate not just this wetherspoons its a few have problems

Nice pub great and friendly staff

The Five Swans Wetherspoon ideally placed for Newcastle city centre. Drinks served here were good quality. Service good in a busy bar.

I really enjoyed the foods Me and friends ordered pizza delicious Tres excellente

It's a pub that sells drink and grup

Great beer and wine selection 👌 with cheap food. What's not to like? October beer festival ales from £1.99!

Went on match day.packed 1.99 a pint magic

man at the bar was incredibly rude. poor customer service skills. hair in my food, chicken was burnt and gristly. man with the poor haircut needs to be sacked

Only went in for drinks but it was great

Good place for a pint after the match

Came here for breakfast. I like the app ordering system, which is fast and efficient. I ordered the eggs florentine with unlimited coffee. The eggs florentine was delicious, with the eggs still slightly runny. However, I'm not a big fan of the coffee from the machine, and it would be good if there were better coffee options, even for a slightly higher price.

Drinks so good, you'll forget what a glass is for! 🍹 #PitcherPerfection 🤪

Maybe hand out maps so it's easy to find the toilets

Real ale festivale on.. good range

Absolutely packed pub, found seats and ordered using app. Drinks arrived quickly (good selection) and food followed quite quickly too and all four meals served together. Really good portions and hot.

Nice atmosphere. Not too noisy.

Used to really like this place but they've made it harder and harder to have an enjoyable time here. Over time less and less doors have been made accessible so everyone gets bottlenecked through the same tiny areas. And to make matters worse they then put entire tables and chairs in these tiny areas and walkways so you have no choice but to be in everyone's way. Most of the bar staff understand this concept but if you have the unfortunate luck of being in way of this aggressive blonde lady who pulls pints there then god help you. Most people politely say excuse me but not this member of staff, on multiple occasions when letting other people past this woman would push or get up in my mum's face. Mind if you want to be drunk and arsey they didn't seem to mind any of that just families trying to enjoy a quiet drink seems to rub them the wrong way I guess...

Called before and after a concert at O2, great value for money

Far too much chatting to customers and not just serving food and drink, had to stand for 20 minutes on a Monday for a pint. No iorder for regular drinks either? Very strange. And not once was my ID checked. Which is incredibly concerning

Had a really good night here, the app is great for ordering food/drinks when it's busy

Amazing pizza, very tasty. Wine pleasant. Nice pub and would return, comfortable seating. Only criticism is the toilet takes some getting to upstairs.

Freshers weekend. 'Nuff said really in a busy bar waiting for a table to become free to order food.

Just a breakfast and a coffee. It was affordable, but you get what you pay for such as a few hours of grease on the pallet.

Only problem was it was extremely busy and noisy

Never disappointed. Quick service and friendly staff.

Didn't have food but bar staff where spotty dog

Just popped in for a coffee whilst visiting Newcastle. Lots of nice window seats in the mid morning sun, friendly atmosphere.

Great pub part of the Wetherspoon chain👍

Low expectations for a Spoons as is the norm but after waiting ages for the bar (as the app wasn't working) and then ages for the 1 hot drink machine that serves a very big pub (dirty area and not topped up for sugar etc for a while) the Duty Manager mumbling a dish at the back of our heads then just dumping it on the table and walking off sealed the low score. The server at the bar was friendly though.

Good meeting place for food and a drink before going into town.

Very good cleanliness, top-notch food and drinks, friendly service, well-maintained facilities, and overall ambiance. It's definitely a spot worth considering for a great time out! With friends 🌟🍻

I walked in the side door, found the counter, ordered 2 ciders, enjoyed while paging through the magazine. Near empty, I ordered a chicken burger, which quickly arrived, and tasted great. Just got lost in a maze of ups and downs trying to find the toilet.

Great pub lunch and a good place to meet.

Really busy great place no continuity at the bar as in other weatherspoons but enjoyable and cosy wise brilliant for being in the town a need to get staff better organised but a good experience

Had better meals from here in the past

Food was nice but very Small meal portions. Adult portions where the same as a child's meal. My partner counted he had 15 chips on his plate altogether. When finished we put our plates in a neat pile and my partners plate was same size as our child's plate. If charging for an adults meal would be nice to receive an adult size portion.

The staff got more chins than a Chinese phone book and look as if they ate more chips than in a Chinese takeaway. The place is an excuse for a pub and packed with geordie degenarates.

This is the size of fish you get for a small plate it’s disgusting for what you pay

Only had drinks but it's a decent pub. Above average for a spoons.

Yes it was very nice. I met some friends & we had a drink first. They had some special offers wich were very good. We then decided to go inside for something to eat. It's basic but it's nice, I had scampi & chips, there was enough & it was nice. It was a really nice afternoon, reasonnable & spend in nice surrounding.

Good value for money nice pub outside space too. Lunch for family of 4 under 40 pound including drinks.

good spoons, but pricier than otvers in town!

Understocked of Guinness 0% (Tuesday) and staff unaware of the shortage.

Absolutely shocking not allowed to stand in the beer garden. Avoid at all costs.

It was a really nice day so full window front was open and plenty of outdoor seating was available. Getting to the Toilet is a bit of a trek though!

Nice & pleasant visit while visiting Newcastle

Great wetherspoons pub. Usual good value and great choice of beers

Was discusting, waited half a hour for the food , food was discusting burger was tiny , the portion of food was also discusting ,supposed to be a adults meal was more like a kids won’t be coming back here

llevé a mi pareja y a mi bebé a comer algo mientras estábamos de compras para el día que tuve pescado con papas fritas que mi pareja tenía al curry. Precios decentes para un centro de la ciudad cucharas y el personal es más que servicial, incluso con el pub que está ocupado con el clima caluroso fue un buen montón de caras felices sin duda volverá.

Went in with Family for food and a couple drinks I got the fish and chips with the bread and butter must say would have again batter was lovely and had a nice glass of white wine to wash it down. will be coming back for sure.

Ordered meal and they forgot to put chicken in it. So they said we'll bring some out. By which time the pasta had gone cold and the chicken was appalling. Cold, tough as old boots. The pieces of chicken looked like stuff I'd throw away from a roast. Just awful. The other meals were ok but this problem let everything down.

Lovely lively pub inside and out .

Canny place for food and drink

Nos sentamos en el jardín ocupado. Luke también estaba ocupado. Siempre limpiando y limpiando y se hizo tiempo para nosotros. Tan educado y profesional. Creo que podría ser un talento oculto que no saben que tienen. X

Few afternoon drinks on a busy friday service quick had to clean table of glasses ourselves and toilets are right on top floor

Had a good night,great selection of low/non alcoholic beers ,I opted for the Guinness zero,very good prices

The lift to the main bar area was not working so my friend had to carry walker up the stairs to find a seat

A really lovely bar near the civic center and close to the Haymarket metro. The staff have great customer service and are always keeping busy, collecting glasses and keeping the place clean and tidy when not serving at the bar. Great quality food and the pub has two floors and plenty of tables. The decor is perfect and there are multiple picture frames of local north east history. I would say this is the best wetherspoons in Newcastle, and possibly the best in the North East.

Great bar, fast friendly service, wide choice of drinks, toilets upstairs are a hike so leave with time yo get there ha ha.

Canny place to nip in for a beer

Staff were nice, free refill hot drinks, I think its lafa coffee they use. Twinings breakfast tea bags. Food was nice we had fish, chips & mushy peas.

Nice sitting outside if you can get a seat.

Tuvimos una gran comida de pescado y patatas fritas. Batido era encantador y crujiente y patatas fritas agradable y caliente. Gran relación calidad-precio con una bebida. Definitivamente volvería. La comida llegó en menos de 10 minutos y el personal muy amable.

Went in with family for a lovely meal of fish and chips. Batter lovely and crispy and chips nice and hot. Lovely atmosphere inside and windows opened wide as was hot out. Stayed for a few drinks before we finished our shopping in town.

Classic English food at the cheapest prices we've seen in a long time. It's right on the main street, which wasn't a problem for breakfast in the morning.

We love coming here because they're s different cubby holes and seating places to sit in you can also be out side which is nice all the the staff are friendly and helpful we definitely recommend people to come here

Very busy pub but service was still relatively quick using the online app, portion sizes for the fish and chips seems to have diminished somewhat.

My uni haunt, is a great spoons! After a few pints it also doubles as a labyrinth!

Great value food and drink. Pizza and unlimited tea, coffee or hot chocolate for approx £10! Or a couple of pound more for an alcoholic drink. Saturday afternoon was busy but we got a seat and the atmosphere was good. Service was quick and friendly.
