Review for The Victoria Comet, Newcastle If you're looking for an authentic British pub experience right outside Newcastle's Central Station, The Victoria Comet is the place to be. This gem offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of travel or exploring the city. The steak pie here is an absolute must-try—tender, flavorful, and wrapped in the most buttery, flaky pastry you could imagine. It's hands down the best I've ever had. Pair it with one of their expertly poured pints, and you're in for a real treat. The bar staff, Dom and Gabe, are fantastic. They're not just friendly but go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Whether you're a local or just passing through, they treat you like an old friend. If you’re in Newcastle, don’t miss out on The Victoria Comet. It’s the perfect blend of great food, stellar service, and a cozy, lively atmosphere.

Music can be loud at sometimes. Very busy at Friday evening

Had a great weekend in this great pub,catered for everyone and the staff were very friendly and efficent. Grub was awesome (bangers and mash) and sooooo delicious and pints were savage too. Sport on the tv too.will be back sgain when in newcastle🍺🍺👍

Spent a couple of nights in Newcastle and as an avid fan of the Nicholsons App I had to pop in. Oh dear spent most of both nights in here. Many thanks to Ania and Sophie for great service and on the second night when we also had great Fish and Chips.

Came in before and after a trip to Durham for a staff day out. We were really well looked after in both instances and the food we ordered was much enjoyed. Thank you guys!

Ania was very helpful and also Sophie. A real pleasure.

Only received a spoon full meat on the nachos, extortionate prices for what you receive... NOT worth the money

Perfect quick pint. No complaints

This old bar is right across from the train station. It’s cool looking inside. It was in the old Micheal Caine movie Get Carter. It feel old and the people were super nice.

Friendly place , great staff even greater pint of Peroni ! Really handy for the station and the Royal station hotel whete we were staying

Love the Spit and Vomit you hear languages from all over the world and accents from all over the country it's the number 1 bar for Travellers and Tourists but Beware of those trolley cases deadly after a few wines or ales

Awesome, Really friendy staff, great atmosphere , Well recommended 👌

Great wee pub opposite Newcastle train station. Proper pub atmosphere, friendly staff, great service.

Excellent hostelry to meet up with friends, very welcoming staff, providing a first class service and a grand pint of Guinness.

Such a great bar with lovely staff. Guinness is amazing. Quality atmosphere. Always enjoy coming here and have a great time.

Awesome place to have a few drinks off the train, Anya is lovely. 315 Service was quick and now Anya can trust what people promise.

Had lunch here on the way to the theatre. Very well situated near the central station and Metro. We opted for the fish and chips and couldn't fault it...large white flakes of Haddock in a beautiful crispy batter. Service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.

Amazing beers, even more incredible staff. I'll be visiting more often. They even were friendly enough to help me with a bird problem

Brilliant pub opposite Central Station, Newcastle. Menu very good.

Waited over 35 minutes for fish and chips. Fish was Luke warm, chips were cold and peas freezing. 1 pint Peroni and a coke £9.75!!!!

Food arrived in good condition. Rider was polite and efficient with making contact in arrival.

Excellent hostelry with attentive, friendly staff, a must visit for me.

Great pub in a very good location for visiting Newcastle city center, straight over the road from central station so has good links to trains. Has an excellent atmosphere with very friendly staff and has some excellent food at very reasonable prices with a good range of drinks to choose from.

Best Guinness I've had in Newcastle! Great staff who accommodate for their customers.

Hi All Fantastic night recently at The Comet. Great staff, very friendly. Best pub in Newcastle. See you all again very soon.

Loved the vibe, felt well organised and the staff were very helpful. Food was great too

I was gasping for a jobby and found the toilet paper soft, strong, and thoroughly absorbent. They even played The Smiths while I laid cable.

Stopped here for breakfast on our way to London. It was the best breakfast I've had on our U.K. travels! I highly recommend it!

Great time at this place. We came down for a team night our and they were so welcoming. Leon and Dom were great. Highly recommended

Great evening drinks and buffet for 30+ friends and family organised for us in the upstairs function room. Ania and Dom (and Leon) were terrific in advance and splendid on the day. Our second function at the Comet in recent years and both excellent in every way.

Food was lovely the service 10 out of 10 highly recommend

Great pub and great atmosphere. The staff are friendly and go above and beyond to make sure you have the best time. 100% would recommend

Great pub to sink a few after the match, before getting on the train. There's a Greggs next door aswell and the station in directly opposite. Perfect

Super helpful staff Tom and his delightful supervisor were incredibly helpful. I do love a nice pint of Neck Oil and they are serves in beautiful Beaver Town glasses. They accommodated allergies brilliantly. The service was fast and the food tasted lovely. It came out hot too, and that is always a bonus. I would take other friends there when they visit. My friend from America was also happy with the service she received and how kind Tom was x

The food was bloody awesone..steak and ale pie....nice portion size..extremely tasty

Staff friendly and helpful (dom and tom) food is a very high standard. They have a very good selection of drinks, including non alcoholic, the team.goes above and beyond to.make sure your stay has been a good experience

This is a great pub in a charming old building located close to the station. The staff are really friendly and there is a good selection of beers. They also have comedy events here sometimes and it’s a good place to watch football.

Called here after the Newcastle spurs game and had a few beers with some of the spurs fans. No hassle and a great atmosphere

Lovely pub! Great place to watch football with a brill atmosphere, super friendly and chatty staff!

This is a busy city centre pub, with lots of Saturday night revellers enjoying themselves. Value for money.

Top service from the team. Looked after our group with great service and the food was top notch

Good bar next to the train station. Good atmosphere on match days.

Great pub, staff are very friendly and the drinks selection is great. Would definitely recommend going here!

Great food and selection of beers . Will be back on my next visit to Newcastle as it was a flying visit on this occasion. The staff were knowledgeable and smart in appearance which is rare nowadays. Doing a great job in this pub

My partner and I visited Victoria Comet last Saturday evening. As always, we had a great time. The food and the atmosphere were great. It is highly recommended.

Such a lovely place to go for a few drinks or to eat. We pop in all the time coming and going to central station. This time was before a gig in town, perfect distance from everything.

Just had a meal and drinks, great atmosphere and good beer,, pipes well looked after, London Pride is good . Food is pub grub but really nice

Absolutely fabulous service, very friendly, Ania & Greta lovely women, great customer service, top class banter. Would highly recommend. You won't be disappointed...cocktails are fabulous darling....hic 🤭

Well known public house opposite the station and our hotel Usually first and last stop when in Newcastle Drink food and football and open early when going home 1000

I went to the bar to look at the ales and the bar person ignored me. I ordered the beer and paid her. The beer was below average. A bit vinegary. There was a loud person in the bar and the Olympics were on every screen.

Went on a Saturday night and the atmosphere was a bit dead. Lovely staff and they show sports too

Excellent service would recommend

Best pub in the North East - staff are amazing and the food is lovely!

Great pub and good beer, meeting rooom upstairs but with a nice bit of history rather than a generic Regis etc

Good selection of ales and lager

Great place to meet people coming off the train and have a bite whilst waiting

Great pub with happy friendly staff and excellent choice of drinks. Guiness is my preference and I can say they pour a great pint.

Great local traditional pub, lots of history, staff were friendly and efficient.

Visited multiple times for work meetings / social get togethers . Nice traditionally decorated pub, lots of history and a good selection of drinks. I’ve not eaten here so can’t comment on food. Staff always friendly and helpful.

Lovely service, and the young man at the counter was very helpful and kind. And the fish and chips were incredibly yummy:)

Great pub to pop in for a catch up drink with friends or for a delicious lunch before catching a train.

Great service from friendly staff. Good choice of drinks and food at competitive prices. Good atmosphere and handy for the train station

Service is always good but the place is looking tired & every time I've been in recently there are lots of flies which is quite off putting.

Decent boozer. Staff "on it". Impressed.

Amazing as always! Food was delicious and jade was an excellent server

A classic old time pub atmosphere. We came here for a pub lunch. Ordered electronically from our phone and the food was delivered to our table. One lunch was good, the other not so much. Because of the ordering process, there was virtually no human contact and no warmth. Blah.

Excellent food abs atmosphere, very helpful staff

Very pleasant experience. We're just visiting the area and had just arrived. The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. The food was nice and arrived in good time. The venue is also a cool little spot.

Very welcoming pub, excellent food and friendly and helpful bar staff Looking forward to going back

No cutlery or napkins provided.

Used for a work Pub Quiz - Good food, Good selection of beers and reasonable prices! Nice clean venue and friendly staff.

Friendly efficient service. Good atmosphere, nice food.

Great pub staff were really sound

Great pub, right opposite central station. However, I thought it was called the Nicholson's.

Really nice and friendly pub that not only was very welcoming but served good drinks at great prices. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food, best service, fastest coffee delivered when needed. Definitely come back again. Lovely staff 😄😄😄😄

Really nice staff and great atmosphere

lovely environment and friendly staff!

Love this pub! Food was reasonably priced and the staff were very polite. Would come again.

One of my favourite pubs in Newcastle! The food is all delicious and there is a nice variety on the menu. They have lots of TV screens making it a great location to watch football, and the staff are always friendly giving a lovely atmosphere to this charming old pub.

Very cozy pub, varied selection of beers, excellent service. Doom ale is recommended. This pub definitely deserves a visit!

Great place for a beer after a long train journey . Watched the match on the big screen which was awesome

Best Nachos we have ever had and a lovely way to spend an afternoon with a few drinks. Would highly recommend thank you

Found this lovely old pub dating back to Queen Victorias days, my wife and daughter and I opted for the small plates of Haddock, Spanish Sausage , Chicken ,Nachos and Halomi , all served by nice polite staff , my fav was the Haddock, my wife’s was the Chicken , my daughters was the Chorizo Sausage washed down with Prosecco for the girls and a Bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale , we enjoyed it so much that we are going back tonight for a Special homemade pie before we go to the Springsteen Gig in the Stadium of Light, I would highly recommend this gem of a pub for it ambiance and choice of Ales and really friendly staff

Service was brilliant from the start till the end. Food was very nice, couldn’t fault anything, highly recommend popping in for food and drinks. Ania and Sam were very friendly and polite, brilliant service from both.

Tried to walk in with my 19 year old son for an orange at dinner time and got refused by the little old guy at the door with a security badge because my son never had I.d.

This pub is directly opposite Newcastle Central station. I came here for a spot of lunch and a drink. I was served by a pleasant bar maid. The food of sausage and mash came really quick - less than 10 mins. The food was great and tasty. I would definitely come here again.

Off train from Edinburgh few beers very friendly staff be back food looked decent

Came of a train from Edinburgh, left the station and looked across the roads and seen this nice looking pub,had a burger and a pint,nice burger and a Newcastle brown beer sorted for the day.

Popped in before getting the train.had a lovely burger and a beer,

Great food, lovely people. Good vibe and great location

Visited this bar on Friday afternoon after getting off the train and was welcomed by an electric atmosphere really feel good Geordie buzz, the bar staff were wonderful despite being so busy still attentive and friendly and very welcoming great selection of beers and wines something for everyone. Highly recommend if your near central station

I organised a surprise 60th birthday party for 60 people in Newcastle. Victoria Comet has the best room for hire upstairs I’ve seen in central Newcastle. Great accessible location, private bar, great buffet options, no room hire or minimum spend, and really helpful staff in the pub and online. Had a really good night - thanks to all at VC

Great pub, clean and welcoming, Sam was particularly friendly, and made sure to laugh at all our bad jokes!

This pub is one of kind. Many people pass and go being so close to the station. It’s the nature of the beast. The staff are attentive, welcoming and chilled considering. They do a great job. Sam and Ania are awesome.

Lovely atmosphere! really friendly helpful bar staff and helpful. food a little bit on the pricey side but worth every penny! Will definitely recommend to family and friends

Great staff. Food menu too limited and wow £16 for a burger, drinks also very expensive. Probably explains why the craft union pub we left was very busy and the Nicholsons was empty. This is newcastle they like up market. Don't think the Nicholsons brand is good anymore why not switch to all bar one or even a Toby in the other direction.
