Sourcing seasonal produce from local farms and markets, the award-winning team produces gutsy traditional-British menus including an a la carte, a well-priced set menu and an al fresco Terrace Menu, accompanied by a large award-winning wine list.

The main candle-lit dining room lends itself to both intimate and romantic dining, with small inglenooks and hide-away corners, indeed Blackfriars was recently voted the 6th most romantic restaurant in the UK. It is also perfect for larger dining parties with the dining room split into two levels seating up to 70 diners in total.

The restaurant is served by friendly and professional waiting staff attentive to your every need. Blackfriars was recently awarded ‘Best restaurant in the North East/Newcastle’ by readers of The Observer, Metro Newspaper, and Hi-Life Dining Club. It has also gained an AA rosette, inclusion in the Which? Good Food Guide, Hardens and Michelin Guides.

Al Fresco Dining

During the summer, Blackfriars offers outside dining in its sheltered medieval courtyard - see our new Terrace Menu and a range of exquisite teas and coffees.

We’re so passionate about sourcing produce from local suppliers, we even have our own detailed map that doubles up as place mats on every table!
