Barrs 0 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi, My ten year old daughter has a soft spot for the Toon, so I've decided to take her to her first game against Everton and was looking for some pointers/advice on the following; A good Italian for lunch come dinner. Child friendly pubs in and around the ground. Having last been to a Newcastle game some 8 years ago, are children allowed in the bar at the stadium? Any other ideas or suggestions that would enhance or make memorable her first experience would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35062 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I know it’s a chain but Ask Italian in Eldon Square is decent. Also handy for the ground and they do a kid’s menu too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42379 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Panis on High Bridge has always been great with kids when I’ve been there with mine, and the food is a step above your run-of-the-mill Italians. Not massively pricey either. An alternative to a restaurant is the Grainger Market, which has the best pizza stall in Newcastle ( Slice), Burgers at Meat Stack, and Greek, Chinese Noodle bar, and other cafes etc. If it’s just you and your daughter going, I wouldn’t bother with a half time pint- you won’t have time to queue for whatever snack/drink your daughter wants, and then get served at the bars. Hope she enjoys her first match 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42379 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Aye, I’ve heard that. Will definitely have to give it a go as Fist Jr. would sell his granny for pizza from Slice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For lunch you get a slice of pizza for less than £3 which is quarter of a 16 inch pizza. Worth ordering ahead of an evening as it gets pretty busy especially on a Friday or Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd echo Monkey Fist, plus the walk from Panis to St James' should get her excited for the match as there'll be a sea of people heading that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11361 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 A slice of pizza and a nice walk is the probably the highlight of the average match these days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs 0 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Thanks all for the advice, it's much appreciated. I'm really looking forward to it, get into Newcastle from Edinburgh just after half 11, so got plenty of time to soak it up. The game will be interesting seeing as Ancelotti has been appointed, although I was hoping to see big Dunc being a Scot myself. If you guys think you have got it bad try supporting and watching Aberdeen... murder polis! One final question if we go to Panis, will there be any bars en route you'd recommend or would it be best to head to the Nine Bar? Thanks again.

wykikitoon 20113 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Has Ancelotti been confirmed? I liked Big Dunc v Man Yoo on Sunday. Great character. Hope she enjoys the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21912 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 dat bar is also nice. family friendly, close to the ground, good selection of craft beer and really good pizzas. i took my boy there last time we went - i enjoyed the selection of pale ale and pizza, he loved the chocolate volcano cake. http://datbar.gustouk.com/wordpress/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
