the five swans in Newcastle upon Tyne

Great city centre Wetherspoons. Nice decor, clean toilets, good service and reasonably priced perfectly good food.

Chaotic Wetherspoons in Newcastle. Standard behaviour.

Really nice pub, the corner of overwhelming dread is kinda weird but it does add a sort of jenesequa

Didn't eat just a brew but nice place, nice staff and people.

We were in Newcastle for the day on 29th March. We have been in the Swan before on another visit. It is a really friendly pub, but that day it was mad because of the football parade.!!!

A large pub good beer outdoor seating. It can get busy especially on match days

It was ok taking down bunting so ladders n chairs in the way

Really nice pub. Good atmosphere with really friendly hardworking staff. As usual,service is very good. Nice place to drop in for lunch..

Food was overcooked😞 rock hard onion bhajis

Was looking for this place, it has been awhile, couldn’t see it in the distance, then found it next to me - all meal and drinks delivered to my table, left me with spare time.

A geet canny wetherspoons reet in the middle of the toon, nipped in for a bit scran, i got scampi chips and mushy peas, i was absolutely hank so hoyed it doon me gregory peck fast as owt like! Me wife got mixed grill and she gave me some onion rings and a sausage and now am canny stuffed but we both enjoyed our meals 😋

Kyle was amazing !! Coming back

Same as any Wetherspoons food could be hotter

It's quite a long walk for a wee

Very busy, we found the last free table. Ordered from QR code on table and service was swift. Tables are slow to be cleared but it was VERY busy. Food was cheap and decent.

It’s a Wetherspoons, what more to add. Food was fine and cheap and filled the gap, not much more to add. Same clientele to the others.

had the burger and a beer offer didn't have to wait long for the food I had the beef burger with chips plenty of food on the plate and a nice cold pint of Corona will definitely be coming back

As Paulicarus would expect, this Wetherspoons is both a Cask Marque and 2025 CAMRA Good Beer Guide pub. It is the March Real Ale Festival and for the first time ever I am in a Spoons serving all 30 real ales at the same time ... Insane! I had a pint from Jersey Liberation brewery. A 3.8 % Amber Ale St Clem. £2.15 .. less my 50p CAMRA voucher. Large upstair bar as well. Outdoor seating to the side. Very busy on a March Tuesday early evening..

Impersonal, you order via a QR code, very large establishment. Rather suitable for a drink or several. I prefer smaller pubs

Lovely pub in Newcastle food and service was excellent friendly atmosphere couldn't do enough for you

It’s an ok pub to grab some food with friends.

We usually come here a lot food is hit and miss but Normally is OK especially for the price . But biggest put off is lack of hygiene had my drink brought to table and the glass was disgusting was plastered with lipstick the full rim . No idea how the bar person did not see this I felt sick . Has put me off staff don't seem to care as seems massive turnover of staff . Don't think we be returning

Great place at reasonable pricing

It's a 'Spoons....... What is there to say? Being perfectly placed for the City Hall, it gets rammed when there's a gig or event on.

Better than any escape room before a gig

4 pints of cask for £11.12. I've just paid £7.99 for a 'weak' pint of Guinness at Belfast International Airport. It is truly a shock to the system 😱 Lots of students enjoying themselves.

I went as part of a day out to Newcastle and I personally couldn’t fault anything about it. The atmosphere was calm even though it was busy. The workers were helpful and were quick to give us our orders. The food was cooked just right. I would return again if I was after somewhere quick and easy to get some food.

Fantastic place roomy cheap lots of options

Refused to serve me and my friend Nicole because we were ordering "Joke" items. Will not be coming here again!

Pretty cool place to have a breakfast from and unlimited coffee is amazing indeed

Salimos con unos amigos a tomar unas copas, pub ocupado pero gran ambiente! Vibraciones relajadas. Precioso jardín de cerveza con luces. El personal increíble no podría recomendar lo suficientemente alto

Vino aquí en una visita de fin de semana a Newcastle y quedó seriamente impresionado con la calidad de la comida y el servicio. Nuestras cucharas de agua locales han sufrido una caída inexplicable en el servicio en las últimas semanas, deben aprender cómo hacerlo de los Cinco Cisnes. Muy recomendable.

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

Went into The Five Swans after a trip to the city hall. The match had not long got out and every table was taken, but managed to find 2 comfortable stools at a bench upstairs. Being so packed, we expected the wait to be long, ordered pitchers of coctails and bbq paninis, and sat back people watching to wait. No more than a few minutes later, our drinks arrived, followed shortly behind was our food. The food wasn't to rave about, but for the price, time of night and how busy it was didn't expect much more, hence the 5*. The staff, atmosphere, and cleanliness were all better than I expected. The empties were removed and tables were turned around quickly. Staff were polite, helpful and happy. Would deffo go back.

El lugar estaba absolutamente lleno, pero solo tenía que esperar unos minutos para las bebidas al hacer el pedido a través de la aplicación. Gritar al personal, que realmente se injertó duro mientras estábamos dentro.

Great city centre pub. Lots of different seating areas. Food reasonable.

Excellent service, very friendly efficient staff. Good location, great atmosphere

Regularly visit this pub, good place to start a night out

Seems to busy all the time ..great selection of beers..

Spent the night in Newcastle. Great prices for drinks on the night and an excellent breakfast the day after - well cooked and flavourful.

Had their spicy chicken wings today,they were awful must have been deep fried umpteen times before I got them because they were cremated.

Great prices and good breakfast

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.

Excellent unlimited coffee, and a great selection of breakfast options

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.

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

Only came in for drinks but great service and cracking atmosphere

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.

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.

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.

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..

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

Burnt mixed grill, indifferent staff and dirty toilets

One of the best pubs In Newcastle

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.

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

Nice Pub, clean Toilets, nice staff

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 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

Went on match day.packed 1.99 a pint magic

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Didn't have food but bar staff where spotty dog

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.
