Welcome to the historic Blackfriars Restaurant, the time-honoured traditional British restaurant in the heart of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the oldest dining room in the UK.

Blackfriars hosts a number of lively and debauched gastronomic extravaganzas for the ravenous and greedy throughout the calendar year. We often invite you to sit on large convivial tables (except for Valentines) to enable you to get to know your fellow gastronomes and generally they’re just great fun. We also host events with Newcastle Wine School and Whisky Lounge so look out for details.
