Blackfriars Restaurant

With its beautiful historic setting and fine food, Blackfriars offers a Newcastle dining experience like no other.

Set in a Dominican friary dating back to 1239, Blackfriars opened its doors in 2001 and has since become one of the city's best-loved restaurants, winning the Taste of England category at the 2013 North East England Tourism Awards.

The restaurant serves a traditional but gutsy British menu with an emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients like Northumberland-sourced venison and Lindisfarne oysters. Its extensive drinks list offers wines, spirits, locally brewed beers and a range of classic and signature cocktails flavoured with herbs and edible flowers hand-picked from Blackfriars' gorgeous Cloister Garden.

In addition to its 72-seat main restaurants, Blackfriars also boasts a beautifully restored Banquet Hall that regularly plays host to authentic medieval banquets served at candle-lit communal tables by costumed staff and is also available to hire for corporate functions, weddings and other such special occasions.

The Blackfriars experience doesn't end there either. It's also home to a purpose-built cookery school that holds workshops teaching foodies how to make everything from bread and vegan food to classic cuisines from across the globe.
