At Blackfriars we serve a classic but gutsy traditional-British menu using local and seasonal ingredients – often straight from the farm. There’s an abundance of great produce all around us including mouth-watering aged beef, old breeds of pork and lamb, delicious award-winning cheeses and ice creams, organic stone-milled flour, fragrant heather honey, really good organic vegetables, super-fresh fish and a host of award-winning beers.

At Blackfriars, we also grow barrels of herbs right outside the kitchen door, harvest walnuts from the trees in the courtyard, grow organic vegetables on our allotment and collect wild garlic, nettles and blackberries from Jesmond Dene and hedgerows out in the country.

Not only that but we produce absolutely everything from first principles – not just ice cream, sorbets, pies, pastries and bread but also gourmet sausages, burgers and our own black pudding!

And the critics seem to appreciate our efforts too! Although he wasn't keen on our folk music, Jay Raynor, the Food Critic at the Observer wrote: "Chefs, I can see that you can cook... What you send out is good, solid and hearty... We made warm, appreciative moaning noises over your chocolate cake... proper cooking using solid ingredients."
