Starters and Puds
Starters & Puds is an exciting new concept in leisurely eating. We're taking the best of savoury and sweet cuisine, mixing it with friendly yet distinctive surroundings and adding in a large helping of relaxed ambience. You'll find this recipe for a successful eating experience right in the heart of Newcastle, adjacent to the Theatre Royal. Our place is the vaults of an old bank in Shakespeare Street. Step down from the street and you enter an amazing world of barrel-vaulted ceilings, open brickwork and intriguing rooms, each with its own atmosphere. There's the Lounge with its wonderful stone fireplace, the Pillar Room with its solid Victorian structures or what about the two attractive Barrel Rooms? Our beautiful Oak Room with its panelled walls is ideal for booking a function, whether a private business lunch or an intimate family gathering. What you get at Starters & Puds is a totally flexible and informal eating experience. It's simply more relaxing because you can enjoy the best bits of the meal. You can choose from a tempting range of starters - as many dishes as you want, either for yourself or share around the table Mediterranean style. You can order a larger version of a starter if you prefer. Then the puds! There's a mouthwatering selection from traditional puddings to continent favourites such as tiamisu and tarte tatin. And, yes, you can have more than one. Try our four-on-a-plate selection!
