Upon a visit to Newcastle, popped in here for a quick meal… expecting the usual pub affair I was pleasantly surprised with everything this pub is! But the food is the best part! Well done guys! The Nepalese dumplings are a standout and the snittys are the bomb! Great service to boot! 👏 3 day visit to Newy and I visited twice! Just had to return.

I'm here at 3:30 on a Thursday afternoon. It's quiet but that's understandable. Device was immediate and polite. The position is outstanding near buses and trams. The river and the ocean are both in walking distance. It's a Grand old hotel that still survives, thank goodness.

Tried their sunday roast. Meat and gravy were good though they only gave 1 small piece of yorkshire pudding. There was a MMA playing on the screen and it was so loud.

It was my first time in Newcastle, a peaceful city. I walked into this Bar, met a lovely staff, very good service, and he even gave me free fries. That’s so lovely
