Barluga Gastro Pub | Modern British Dining in Newcastle & Morpeth
Established in 1998, Barluga Gastro Pub has become a cornerstone of Newcastle's dining scene, with a second location in Morpeth offering the same exceptional culinary experience. Our venues combine historical charm with modern British cuisine, featuring menus crafted from locally sourced ingredients. The Grey Street location occupies a former Bank of England building, providing a unique backdrop for both casual dining and special occasions. We offer a gastro-pub style menu alongside an a la carte selection, complemented by an extensive wine list and expertly mixed cocktails. Our all-season sun terrace features botanical decor, comfortable seating, and ambient lighting for year-round enjoyment.Both locations provide versatile spaces for private events, including corporate functions and family celebrations. Our commitment to quality extends to our coffee service, sourced from the Vaulkhard Group's Central Bean coffee house. With 25 years of experience, we maintain rigorous standards in food preparation, staff training, and customer service. Our kitchen teams prioritise fresh, seasonal produce while maintaining consistency across both venues. This dedication to excellence has earned us recognition as a premier dining destination in the North East region.

Recently visited Newcastle and found this fabulous place enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch staff are so polite and definitely work as a team.
Infact we enjoyed the food and atmosphere so much
We came back the next day. And everything was tip top and enjoyable again. We would definitely make a third visit if we are in Newcastle again.

Wrap up warm if you intend to have food and drinks on the terrace outside other than the summer months. We were able to transfer to a table inside, much cosier, and just settled up the bill at the end of the evening. Very civilised

A lovely place with a great menu. My friends had lovely meat sandwiches, and I had a vegetable and hazelnut tart. Sadly the chips tasted as though they were made yesterday and my tart was not very filling at all, very thin pastry and very litlle filling, no side salad or chips to boost its calories. I came home and had a sandwich afterwards.

Nice outside eating area. I had Sunday meal of roast pork. It was inedible, even the steak knife had trouble cutting it. Nothing happened when I complained to the waitress. I should have been more forthright about it!
