The Mile Castle in Newcastle upon Tyne

Five stars are simply not enough to capture the utter delight of the Cheese and Ham Panini at Wetherspoons! From the moment the panini hits the table, you're greeted with the alluring aroma of perfectly toasted bread that sets your taste buds alight with anticipation. The bread is crispy on the outside, yet amazingly soft inside, creating a splendid texture that complements the filling beautifully.

Drinks consistently didn't arrive

I love the food and am always able to find a table.

WiFi very flakey. Avoid Fridays as it's full of idiots on stag parties.

What a place . Had a great breakfast here. Then a few drinks in the afternoon. We then came back at about 8pm and the top floor was like a night club. What a night . Cheap drink . Great people great security

Yes very reasonably priced for alcohol and staff were good,we didn't eat so I can't comment on food.

This multifaceted establishment seamlessly combines the best of a traditional Wetherspoon pub with the excitement of a Lloyds bar. As you step inside, you'll be enveloped by an electric vibe. The ground floor offers a more relaxed ambiance, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a leisurely meal. But the real magic awaits upstairs. Ascend to the top floor, and you'll find yourself in a world of music, lights, and people dancing The Mile Castle doesn't skimp on the essentials. You'll still enjoy the classic Weatherspoons offerings like affordable drinks a wide selection of real ales, food etc. But here's the twist the added bonus of loud music and lights. It's like your favorite pub turned into a mini nightclub. (reflective of the weekend)

What you expect from a weatherspoons, cheap and cheerful, decent pint of Guinness. 3 floors plenty of room to find a seat.

Great value breakfast, really tasty.

Because of its popularity, this pub can be very busy. Apart from that good pub. Low prices for food and drinks.

Regular visitor when in Newcastle

Over 1000s tables in this tower of a Spoons

Politeness is not their strong point ! Many seats, but the atmosphere is not particularly great.

typical weatherspoons pub nice and cheep very reasonably priced food ever day and near station.great staff would recommend as first of station 👍👍

Dirty tables , tiny portions of food. Not like it used to be

Great value breakfast, ordered via app!!

Typical Wetherspoons, so you know it's OK. Easter weekend and they are playing music made a nice change. The place was buzzing.

Cheap and cheerful, perfect location. It's huge, there's 3 floors, plenty of seats. Food is pretty basic pub grub. It's always busy, music is on over the weekend, always has a good atmosphere. If you are going to a gig at the NX or going to the tyne theatre is a great place to start or even finish with.

Visited on a match day so it was absolutely rammed. The service was quicker than i expected and the ale was top notch. A great atmosphere as well

Went for breakfast. The breakfast was lovely good value for money and has something for everyone's tastes. It was very busy, but the staff were still friendly and helpful but it felt like they were a little short staffed.

Visiting this Wetherspoons was pretty much what you'd expect. The food was decent, service was prompt, and the atmosphere was classic Wetherspoons – bustling with morning drinkers, prompting a moment of reflection on life choices."

Typical Wetherspoons cheap drink distant toilets

It's a Spoons. You get what you get.

Superb place tasty foods, friday service and really nice atmosphere

Myself and my partner went on the 12th for breakfast and got food poisoning. When I got my food it was cold and the egg yolk was way too runny. The staff were okay but seemed like they had better places to be. The atmosphere was absolutely shocking too with one guy hacking and spluttering into a napkin and another table of customers being ludicrously loud. It was a sensory nightmare. And a nightmare for our stomachs.

Everything about this wetherspoons is great always good service and lovely food

Very busy. Only had a drink. Got served very quickly.

I had a completely horrible time, was sober when walking in and refused to be served, absolute travesty!! Nice staff but couldn’t do anything about it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Food was good but very crowded due to concert on in venue next door, however this isn't the restaurants fault and the service was still fast.

Just your typical spoons; dirty floors and toilets and microwaved food. But it's cheap so it's always busy.

This has to be the worst Wetherspoons in the country for customer service levels which I have experienced in the last couple of weeks The team and management do not care at all about customers being very unfriendly and confrontational; not even acknowledging guests with a hi or welcome preferring to chat with colleagues than serve customers. Go to the Mile End for the cheap drinks but expect to receive rude and arrogant service from all the team.

I travelled by train from Manchester on a day trip and pre searched this pub before travelling. The pub was in the near versinity of the train station and I went in before my return train journey. The building is spacious over three floors with bars and sit down hospitality service provision. The only issue I had was poor connectivity by phone and internet. I recommend you visit if you have a bit of time after shopping etc in the centre.

You know me, I'm a BIG 🥄 fan 👍This is my first time here and really really impressed 👌 Will def visit again next time I'm in Newcastle 👍

Cheep, you get what you pay for

Such a disappointing visit with my family. The food was poor. We had a Small complaint that the food from my six yr old nephew was taken before he were finished. Team leader Alice had an absolutely appalling attitude when we tried to explain the mistake. We were accused of lying and received no apology. Following our complaint the air conditioning over us was turned up high. We spoke to Beth the duty manager but unfortunately the customer service is not there. We used to love coming here but won't be back. We went to keelman wetherspoons where staff apologised for our experience here which was all we wanted in the first instance. Wouldn't recommend. If you are looking for wetherspoons visit keelman, Quay side bar or five swans. This is the worst in Newcastle

One of the best weatherspoons pubs i have been too

Staff are polite and professional good choice of drinks and menu, plenty of places to sit very reasonably priced. I'd recommend this place.

Food was like a child's portion, but that's kind of standard for a spoons now. Staff really not that enthusiastic. OK the atmosphere was OK

Good cheap drinks but waited 35 minutes for food so asked and was told "getting done now" even though the table who came in 10 minutes after us had their food - not good and no excuse given

Worst spoons I’ve ever been in. Waiting times are ridiculous

Good location, great selection of drinks. Clean and moderately well presented interiors. Food, however was extremely poor quality. We were a group of 10, and all of us ordered different things. I had the misfortune of sampling 10 different items and can confirm that none of them were even close to being average. I would certainly visit again for a drink.

It's a wetherspoons. You know what you're getting. Am established brand and British institution.

Class Wetherspoons , good vibes , cheap drinks , fit birds . What else do you need

Wetherspoons two minutes walk from Central Station and 7/8 from Eldon Square. A wide variety of menu options including pizzas, curries, wraps, and more. Nothing exceptional but corresponds to the price. Good assortment of draft drinks and reasonable prices. Always served relatively quickly even when busy and staff friendly and efficient.

Can't beat a spoons this place is absolutely huge over 3 floors and was absolutely ram packed, but the service was still pretty quick , good tip download the witherspoon app and order from there u get served much quicker and saves the chew of queuing at the bar

I like it as its not far from the train station which is good and I like the way the toilets are on the ground floor not like most wetherspoon when the toilets are a long way away

It's a Weatherspoon, but one of the better ones I've seen

Was asked to leave as was accused of being to drunk which I wasn't at all, not recommended

Nice no frills food at a good price!

Was accused of drinking someone else's drink and refused service, the drink was indeed mine I left my table for quite some time with my jacket on seat. Poor service

Pub was very quiet, so I'm assuming I got breakfast items that were left in a "hot" hold. Everything was stone cold, apart from the black pudding. No check back to return my food as the staff were just chatting behind the bar. Somehow wetherspoons food continues to drop even further in quality. Considering a slice of toast costs more than a sausage, this should speak volumes to what they are actually serving to customers.

They have removed a lot of low level seating and replaced it with tall tables and chairs. And loads of fruit machines. No thought for the public.

Uzeiname papietauti fish and chips kai bunu mieste, viskas patinka.

Just went in for a drink, very nice building but too many floors, and if ordering food, the food needs to come hot or you need to make sure and sit on the floor where the kitchen is to guarantee your food will be hot and edible

Busy place .quick service on food and drinks

Ok Wetherspoons near main city railway station. Sometimes bit chaotic, often messy. Could be a lot better. Nice busy vibe inside.

Quick service but breakfast wasn't the best. Veg sausages and fried eggs were both cold, and the toast was pretty cardboardy. I've had better spoons breakfasts...

Becka is the best bartender ever

Bar staff, Becca great help and lovely staff

Best milk in the north east Beccca is good bar staff I love milk

Dirty, little black flies flying about, and a lukewarm breakfast 🤢

Was early morning and quiet, parts had a rather musty smell assumed it was the carpet or the apolstry

Stuff where really helpful but the bottle of wine wasn't so good

Can't really complain - it's a huge 'Spoons

Not nice, very old tables and chairs, dirty table tops, we were pestered by some kind of small black flles, generally grubby. Not recommended for a visit.

Not for me door staff turning customers away because they are wearing sports clothing / shoes ? Not a good welcome especially when the place was empty

Nice and friendly service. A nice pint straight off thd train. Breakfasts looked delicious

Very nice pint of Ouseburn Porter and the barman tested the temperature. Usual Spoons atmosphere with a few buggies about.

One of the better Wetherspoons pubs. Prices are sensible, and we had no complaints about the food and service. Our first choice for lunch in Newcastle.

Decent cheap boozer. Can’t go wrong. Get what you know with a spoons.

It's a large Wetherspoon's with three floors. It's quite a soulless place. The service is fine in terms of speed but the staff all seem a bit miserable. It's OK for one cheap pint as they have a good range of cask beers but you probably won't want to stay for another.

Food was lovely good atmosphere

Food and beer was spot on. Tables clean. Plenty of seating. Staff on the ball. Security on the door. Very good all round.

Decent for a Wetherspoons. Good big pub. Great staff and very clean.

Had a great time meeting old friends 🧡

best Wetherspoons in the city, great ambiance

Great place to start and finish

Same as every Spoons, a bit messy, a bit dirty, sticky tables, friendly enough but inexperienced staff, low prices but this one I must say is positioned well with nice views and an interesting interior design.

Food was disgusting I will never eat there again

Huge pub, three floors, loads of tables. Could sometimes do with a few more bar staff. Beer is cheap. Food is ok and comes to your table pretty quickly.

Great food, customer service fab..

Brilliant boozer 3 floor's of fun toon fans were in was absolutely rammed

Can't go wrong with wetherspoons although wouldn't usually visit on a Friday night so was surprised there was music on which only added to the atmosphere. Reasonably priced drinks as always

Great Wetherspoon's with great food and drinks with plenty of room

I wish I could have stayed longer to get my coffee top ups

It's a spoons what else can I say

Bargain prices.. say no more, you know the score. In this day and age, you have to be savvy. First impressions, the place seemed very clean inside. Meal deals with a drink are excellent value for money. Not Michelin, star quality grub, obviously, but you get what you pay for. Frozen fish and chips, but the food was piping hot and of a generous portion. Ordered via the Weatherspoons app and drink was delivered in about 6 minutes, the food around 10. The place was pretty full, too.

I visited with my sister for breakfast and I can honestly say that this was the worst breakfast I have ever had. Ordered the traditional breakfast and all items on plate were cold except for the sausage which was lukewarm. The bacon was burnt and brick hard. Could have done better myself. The bar staff however was very pleasant but they need to change the chef

Wetherspoons The Mile Castle is a massive Wetherspoons pub in the city centre and is one of the busiest pubs we went to on a six day city break to Newcastle.With ground/first and second floor seating areas all with a typical Wetherspoons look and feel and many interesting fixtures and features relating to the local area and the local history.We visited here several times and on every occasion we had meals which were always well served and priced.Looking at some of the reviews we where a little apprehensive about eating here but as mentioned all our meals were well served and cooked and its drinks range was well priced.A great Wetherspoon to visit and very easy to locate from Grainger street bus stop it's a short walk.(This is my first review of the Mile Castle).Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-08.00-00.00. Friday-Saturday-08.00-01.00. Sunday-08.00-00.00.Nearest Bus Stop. Grainger street bus stop.

After a lovely time in Newcastle we called for a quick drink while we waited for our train - wish we hadn’t bothered! Dirty tables with drinks left all over despite having plenty of staff. Ordered drinks from a young lady who was obviously struggling but very pleasant, she had to ask for help several times from other staff members who stood around talking instead of helping her, my friend I were patient as have 5 girls between us, 3 of them having worked in pubs. My friend was having a conversation with me and a member of staff made some very sarcastic remark to my friend. I went over to speak to the staff member to ask what the problem was and she was extremely rude stating she thought we were complaining about the girl who was serving us, I explained we were not, she was very intimidating and was smirking to her colleagues and when I asked her name she put her hand up in front of her face and refused to speak to me. This place needs some serious staff training and strong management! Customer service non existent!

Don’t bother coming here. Staff ain’t gotta clue. Takes 1 hour & 30 mins to make a breakfast apparently 😂😂😂 what a dump.

We visited the pub on 3 separate weekdays during the day and early evening. It's in a convenient location being close to the railway station and the main shopping area. It was always busy when we went. There is a large beer 'garden' with bench tables and a large covered area. The inside is 3 floors. The drinks are like all Wetherspoon pubs ie reasonable prices. The staff, especially Laura, were very pleasant and helpful. The food was expected. It was value for money. We enjoyed our time there. The one thing I would suggest is that the men's toilets could do with a bit more attention. They are clean but the smell is a negative.

Extremely busy Friday and Saturday nights, possibly due to the fact they have a DJ on top of the three floors - obviously very popular with the younger generation. Typical food and drink for Wetherspoons - you get what you pay for which isn't a problem if you re happy with that. Good location to hotel we were staying in

called in yesterday afternoon had the fish and chips was very nice wanted apple crumble for dessert was out of stock this seems to be a regular thing walked out a couple of weeks ago when the fish and chips wasn’t available it’s the same today no fish and chips or apple crumble have checked a few other Wetherspoons and some items are unavailable also don’t know if it’s a order problem or bad management seems to affect some in Newcastle and not others the desserts are poor not much choice used to be a lot better noticed a lot of bad reviews do you take time to read them maybe time to change could do better

Many of us ordered breakfast via the app . Unfortunately 4 of us had to wait 30 minutes or more before we received our order of food. It was understandable that the staff were extremely busy and so maybe the wait was acceptable although I couldn’t understand why others in our group received theirs. The main point of this review is to comment on the bad attitude of the staff. When I informed a staff member who seemed to be the manager about not receiving the meals her reaction was to state they would be with us soon and then requested 3 of us moved onto another table because we had added a small table to the original table set up so to accommodate 2 people. I felt like she was doing this out of spite because I asked about the meals we hadn’t received. She was more interested in moving us and didn’t enquire about what meals we were waiting for. We then had to wait a further 10 minutes before we received 2 meals and then had to ask again before we got the last one. This was a full breakfast and had to be eaten within approx 8 minutes because we had a train to catch at 9.55. We all ordered our meals at 8.30-8.45 This was not a pleasant experience to start a long awaited customer service team day out. I also feel that this must be an awful place to work because not one member of staff smiled or made any pleasantries to us in the time we were there. I must state we were not unruly or noisy like some large groups who were there and who also did not get told to separate from their party unlike us.This was a very disappointing experience and I personally will not be visiting this place again. It is difficult sometimes to work in a Customer Service Role and I totally understand the pressures that it can bring but I am positive that me and my colleagues would never treat our customers the way we were treated . Not once did we receive an apology for our lengthy wait .

An excellent establishment for pre drinks and to set the tone. Nicole and Jack on the second floor were impeccable bartenders, helping to entertain the stag and even going as far as making personally requested drinks. Great service for a spoons, and even better craic!

Me and my 2 daughters came to mile castle for brunch before going on a weekend away , wish I had never bothered , we arrived table was dirty so we asked for plates to be cleared and wiped , they came cleared plates but forgot to wipe the table when covid is still very much around !!!! We had to go back and ask for table to be wiped !! We then ordered drinks and food , asked my daughter who is 18 for I.d I explained she didn’t have her I.d with her but as we are having a meal she is allowed a cider to have a snotty reply of we aren’t that kind of posh restaurant, we then waited 45 mins for our food even though no food had been brought out except ours , when it arrived it was freezing cold and all burnt , my daughter went to use toilets no toilet roll in any of the toilets or hand soap or hand towels !!!! Absolutely filthy place avoid at all costs

we had to go a few times they were always busy.we had a couple of pints each, they were ok.place a bit tatty and a bit of a mess. lots of cleaning needed.but it is a spoons, so we know some are better than others.

Always fails ! Despite pubs having plenty of down time to prepare this place always gets it wrong . Sticky dirty tables to match the toilets , it only caters for the extremely drunk patrons . Service hit n miss , over 40 mins for a drink to be delivered & it was yes very quiet . No apology Flies come extra . Shocking

Came in as a trio. Pretty chilly when we walked in. Aircon on cold. So many aircon vents it doesn't matter where you sit it's cold. I mentioned this to staff but they said they have no control over it. But no one mentioned it to anyone who did control it! I had to put my scarf on! Ordered food and drinks. Food came before the drinks. The service and food we got was ok so can't complain there. Just turn the aircon off or to a comfortable temperature.
