21 - Newcastle upon Tyne

Great lunch in August. My friends and I are regulars here and booked for a Xmas lunch months ago. Then out of the blue this weekend i received an email demanding a non refundable of £60 to be paid by card over the phone or in person. I was surprised that a deposit hadn't been requested when I made the booking. Also, I prefer not to give my card details over the phone and a visit to Newcastle is a inconvenient. So a bit of a poor show in this respect. Well go ahead with this booking but might go elsewhere in 2024.

Simply fantastic. The three course fixed option is tremendous value and food of the highest quality. Dessert doughnuts to die for!

Once again a very good evening at 21. It was a menu set around wagyu beef, it was fab. From the wagyu cottage pie onwards . The wine pairing was very nice as well. The only gripes I have was that the room seemed a little overcrowded the Pear desert was not to my or my daughters liking a heavy on the ginger for me .

Great food, had an amazing Sunday roast with my friends. A bit expensive but worth it! Atmosphere is nice and the service is excellent! Will definitely come back

Every time I eat at 21, I wonder why we don’t come here more often! The food here is always lovely, I’ve never had a bad meal here which is something I can’t say about many restaurants, and the service is just perfect. So many restaurants we have eaten at recently have a very casual approach to service which is fine, but sometimes it’s nice to eat somewhere where you are made to feel a bit special and where nothing is too much trouble. 21 has that off to a tee! We ate here on a Wednesday night and took advantage of the Bring Your Own Wine offer. The set menu was really good and we had the terrine and ceviche to start followed by a delicious duck confit and a braised beef shoulder which my husband said was fabulous. Some chocolatey/nutty thing for pud and some cheese. The only slight quibble was that the slice of cheese was on the meagre side (there were lots of crackers and bread and a nice chutney) but as I was so full from the first two courses, it was possibly a blessing in disguise! We brought our trainee guide dog with us and all the staff were so kind and helpful. Thanks so much to everyone at 21 for a lovely evening and we hope to come back soon.
