About Blackfriars Restaurant
Welcome to the historic Blackfriars Restaurant, the time honoured traditional British restaurant in the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne, and the oldest dining room in the UK!
Blackfriars Restaurant Description
Established in 1239 as a Dominican friary, Blackfriars’ rich heritage is the cornerstone of Newcastle’s historic past with the friary being the jewel in the city’s medieval heart. As a former friary in commercial use today, Blackfriars has become one of the city’s most recognised restaurants and is now regarded as a local institution.

So looking ahead...
We have availability for wedding/civil partnership ceremonies and receptions in 2021! If you're thinking of tying the knot, here's our wedding brochure ! http://ow.ly/T2QX50yWx3j
Our Banquet Hall is also an amazing venue for engagements, blessings and other family celebrations. Email us on info@blackfriarsrestaurant.co.uk and arrange to come and see the hall once we're back open again.💍🌞
It is with great regret we have decided to cease Blackfriars and Hinnies take-away and delivery service with immediate effect.
This is because we think it provides the best chance of keeping our staff safely at home. Transforming our restaurant operations into a takeaway business within 24 hours was quite an undertaking and we’re incredibly grateful to all of you who supported us and stated your intention to continue ordering from us. But alas, now we must close entirely. P...lease support those local businesses who have decided to continue offering take-away services as many will need your support too.
Otherwise, take good care of yourselves and those around you and, above all, stay safe!
See you on the other side!
Andy, Sam and the Blackfriars team

We are getting a lot of customers asking if we'll be starting a delivery service. The answer is YES WE ARE but we need your help!
We have 2 concepts - the first includes dishes from our seasonal menu at Blackfriars. The second is to resurrect our popular Street food brand, Fatfriars.
Would you choose either of these and if so, which one?
... Also are there any other dishes you would like to see on the menu.
Our future is in your hands!
