Broad Chare

Top choice in Newcastle-upon-Tyne


Spiffing English classics and splendid cask ales are served in the dark-wood bar and mezzanine of this perfect gastropub. Starters such as crispy pig ears, pork pies and venison terrine are followed by mains that might include a divine grilled pork chop with black pudding and cider sauce, and desserts like treacle tart with walnut brittle to finish.
