ITFC TWTD 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yo First off, congrats for gaining promotion and winning the title. Me and a couple of mates are going to the match Saturday, arriving mid-morning, and we're going to make a day of it, staying over in Gateshead on Saturday night. Needed some advice on a couple of things: 1.Where to eat. Looking for somewhere in the city centre which will be open for a bite to eat around lunchtime. Don't want fast food, but also don't want to break the bank at a 5* Michelin restaurant. 2.Where to drink (before the game and straight after). We wont be wearing colours, but want somewhere relatively friendly considering our broad southern accents, aha. Any suggestions around the ground or near the station are appreciated. Bars or pubs, not bothered. Thanks in advance, and good luck next season in the Prem. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummiemag1 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 If you like good pubs, decent beer and good chat you can't go wrong with the Bogeda, Newcastle Arms and Strawberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives maps and suggested pub crawl routes from the train station to the ground for all 92 league clubs - well worth a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10430 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Burglars Dog is good for pub guides. There's some cracking scarn to be had in town. Personal recommendations for the Raj Tandoori on Pudding Chare and Red Mezze which is very near the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant stand these chains that spew out plastic menu's and re-heated food. Some relatives took me and the wife out to Frankie and Bennys the last time we were over in England... How can anyone mess up "American/Italian" food like that? Didn't try Fridays when I saw it last time I was in Newcastle... I hate that place over here! I don't remember the name but the chinese we had after the match I went to wasn't bad... Edited April 23, 2010 by AmericanMag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Frankie and Bennys! Its great and it opens early! Almost as funny as when J69 recommended Nandos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Only been to Frankie and Bennys once, was in Edinburgh and tbh it was alright. Mind you, it's hard to get a calzone wrong. Wetherspoons food is pretty awful, but then you get what you pay for there. Beer and burger is usually decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21302 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 sachins does a good curry dragon house on stowell street for chinese. francessca's in jesmond is probably your best bet for a pizza, although a little bit out of the way pani's on high bridge street if you fancy a cheap and cheerful italian pannini or pasta cafe 21 if you fancy something a bit more upmarket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21302 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 ps, for boozers i would agree that the bodega is a good shout. get down there early if you want a table mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go ITFC TWTD, problem solved. Sorry, I don't know all of the abbreviations... Just noticed the name of the original poster... and for the record, if the name is really important, I am sure I have something from my trip that will tell the name. It was upstairs if that helps There was also a persian restaurant I went to while I was in Newcastle... forgot the name of that one too!

Unless you were very unlucky or doing something daft you really shouldn't get any hassle. Personally I'd recommend pretty much anywhere in Haymarket / Gallowgate. Crows Nest / Hotspur / Three Bulls / Percy Arms / Newcastle Arms / Rosies. Personally recommend the Hotspur - small traditional pub - plenty of screens with football on - great real ale - dead friendly .......and absolutely rammed. Then again everywhere will be. Enjoy!
