Blackfriars is set within a 13th-century former Dominican friary in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Established in 1239 it remains the jewel of Newcastle’s medieval past and has a fascinating history. Over the years Blackfriars has expanded from the friar’s refectory dining room to almost all the remaining claustral out-buildings and today boasts a Banquet Hall, Parlour Bar, Cookery School and Tasting Room as well as a number of function/meeting rooms.

 

Blackfriars hosts an all-year programme of cookery classes, wine/whisky/beer tastings, wine dinners, hog roasts and history tours as well as weddings and private/corporate functions. The award-winning restaurant is listed in Hardens, the AA and Which Good Food Guides and have been awarded Taste of England awards.
