21’s cooking is big on flavour and short on fuss. We’re talking about a style which embraces the seasons and where the ingredients are king. Expect to find stylish, imaginative dishes – which don’t pander to fads or fashion…………and still have room for pudding. Expect a warm welcome, generous hospitality and service that is both friendly and correct.

A city centre restaurant with a city centre buzz. In the heart of Newcastle's Quayside, 21 has an excitement and warmth all of its own. Smart but not stuffy, sleek but not pretentious, fun but not gimmicky - It's about eating good food in comfortably stylish surroundings.

Menus include Lunch and Early Evening Fixed Price, Five Course Seasonal and à la Carte.

    Stunning Sunday lunch...even a relatively simple spiced parsnip soup was elevated to something special. The quality of the meat was superb, I had the shoulder of lamb and my wife had the roast beef...both were stunning...and those roast potatoes, wow... crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Service is always friendly and so professional.

    We done at 21 about 6-10 times a year. The food, service and ambience are always wonderful. We dined there for my wife's birthday on Saturday evening and everything was faultless... special thanks to Richard and Ella.

    21 is easily the best place to dine in Newcastle. We had an amazing dinner with visitors who all thought we'd chosen very well it’s definitely our favourite for our next outing. Each dish was a delight and the staff were marvellous. The sound level is nice and low for a change. Full marks but a little pricey
