Situated in the popular Newcastle suburb of Gosforth, The Brandling Arms is a dog-friendly, popular tavern.

Serving up such pub classics as fish and chips and sausage and mash, this is one pub you’ll want to eat at.

7. The Broad Chare

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.
