The Broad Chare offers an ideal spot for a quiet drink, but it?s the food that truly steals the show.
The menu strikes the perfect balance between comforting pub classics and inventive twists, showcasing the respect for tradition while embracing the modern culinary wave.
The service is impeccable. Attentive without being intrusive - proving that both the staff and management take pride in making every guest feel at home.
For me, The Broad Chare has remained a steadfast favorite, consistently delivering excellence whether you visit on a Tuesday dinner or a Sunday lunch. A visit here is a nod to both quality and timelessness. Thanks again for a wonderful meal.

Since I was only staying for a few hours, I visited a gastro pub that was selected as a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand to have a meal that would not go wrong. I found this place while looking for restaurants in the UK and visited it.
?
It is a renovated building that used to be a warehouse, so the overall interior and atmosphere is hip and not burdensome. The first floor is a pub and the second floor is a restaurant.
The menu has a variety of dishes in each section, including tapas-style snacks, appetizers, mains, and desserts. It's not expensive compared to British prices, but I liked the burger so I ordered it with a beer.
?
As mentioned earlier, since this is a bar, they serve over 50 different beers. Since lager is always required with hamburgers and pizza, I ordered Munich Lager from Paulaner, a German company famous for its wheat beer.
It is true that the price of a hamburger is 17 pounds, but considering the reputation of Michelin and the fact that it is a handmade burger, it is not an unacceptable price. Even French fries are provided as standard.
?
Looking at the composition of the hamburger, lettuce, tomato, and pickles were placed on a patty topped with cheddar cheese, and brioche was used as the bun. It is a composition that is faithful to the basics without being excessive or poor.
The patty, which was said to be made from rump steak, was cut in half and checked for doneness. Although it was not as medium rare as I had hoped, the meat juice was well preserved. It was enough to slightly wet the bun.
?
It was difficult to hold with two hands, so I cut it with a knife, but the juice coming out of the patty, the tomatoes, and the lettuce combined made it very smooth to swallow. The way to eat was meaningless.
Although there was only one patty, it was the thickness of two patties combined, so it felt heavy as well as savory when eating it. However, the pickles served to balance out the heaviness of the patty, making it edible.
?
French fries are definitely the best when eaten with hamburgers. In Europe, French fries are usually dipped in mayonnaise, but I gave up on ketchup after trying it once.
Anglo-Americans are very serious about hamburgers, and when it comes to handmade burgers, the overall standard is higher than in Korea, so I ate it without regret. Among other menu items, I am also curious about traditional British food.

Staff are so attentive to everyone's needs, and they look and act professionally. The food from the gastro pub bar snacks through to fine dining separate restaurant is a fantastic dining experience but sometimes we just go to be in the bar to use as our local 'country' pub

Customers sitting at the bar are extremely irritating. A decent selection of beer but who would want to stay in a place where a bunch of people block the bar and hold inane conversations at heightened volume. Certainly not me.

Excellent place for both drinking and dining. The beer was great and the food fantastic. I honestly wanted to lick the plates clean! Disgusting, I know, but it's that good. I will certainly return.

My favourite place so far in Newcastle. Very high standard of cooking on well interpreted gastro pub classics. My ray wing was divine. Peeking at other tables around, every dish I saw looked incredible. Great beers on tap too. Friendly and attentive waitress.

We were going to Live theatre for hubby's birthday so came here at 5.30 for a meal and it was fabulous. Bar and outside beer garden downstairs and restaurant up. Started by sharing some monkfish cheeks which were very moreish then I had halibut with samphire, clams &mussels and potatoes which was spot on. Daz doesn't often get steak as often disappointed but certainly not the case today as a beautiful medium rare steak with chips and onion rings was demolished! Good choice of beers and I has a lovely glass of pinotage With coffee to finish bill came to just over £100 with no service charge added.

Fantastic dining and drinking pub that lives up to its reputation. We arrived but had made our reservation on the wrong date. Steven and his team could not have been more helpful and found us a table without any fuss or hassle even though they were completely full. Superb meal, wine and welcome. Thank you.

Me and my husband booked here for an anniversary meal and I can't recommend it enough. The service, atmosphere and food was absolutely on point. The pub itself feels warm and cozy which a good choice of drinks. Drinks and food came out at a good pace and it's honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend the bubble and squeak main!
A huge thank you to all the staff for making it such a memorable meal and evening :)
