The Broad Chare labels themselves as ‘proper pub, proper beer, proper food’ and we couldn’t agree more. Nestled down a side street amongst Newcastle’s picturesque Quayside, you’ll find homely meals and a welcoming atmosphere here. Its menu is a rather British affair with homely offerings like pie and mash and steak and chips on offer, but if you’re feeling a little more extravagant, there’s crab on toast and grilled calves liver too.
