The Broad Chare – A Proper Pub

May 6th, 2011

At long last, The Broad Chare, Newcastle’s newest pub, is open for business and taking bookings and orders for this weekend.

The opening is the culmination of months of hard work and a creative partnership between Live Theatre and Terry Laybourne’s 21 Hospitality Group. It’s a food-led pub like no other in the city … a venue that will fill a gap and establish its own unique place in the market.

The teams are all in place with chef Chris Eagle and manager Steve Dunn expecting a lively start to trade from today. The menu – available as a download on this site – offers au great range of simple, locally sourced bar snacks along with a range of hearty main courses and a ‘dish of the day’ – and this Friday we are pleased to offer our own version of a classic, fish and chips.

The dish of the day on Saturday is Irish Stew and we’re doing Roast Beef and Yorkshire puddings on Sunday from 12 noon.

Come on down and share a snack, a meal or just a pint of beer – maybe our own pale ale, The Writer’s Block, brewed exclusively for us by Wylam Brewery.
