The Head Of Steam in Gateshead

Lovely place for either a wick pint or a longer stay and grabbing some food. Helpful staff and clear guidance for necessary distancing and such. Great choice of brews and wines

We only had tea and cappuccinos there which was all satisfactory. My only criticism is that there is a step down into the restaurant but no ramp for a wheelchair. This is a bit of a problem.

Nothing gourmet but really nice beers and a good old burger and chips! Atmosphere of the place is great too.

The head of steam also known as the central is a fantastic old style pub with lots of nooks and crannies with original features still there to see . Far better than your new ' made to look old ' pubs . It has a must see roof top terrace which is within touching distance , just about , of the train line . This was fun waving to the driver and passengers as they passed by.Well worth a visit if you are in the area and love old buildings , and a choice of different drinks .
