Banyan Newcastle - Newcastle upon Tyne

Great food, great service, staff were lovely, always really nice coming here, love the atmosphere in this bar too. Probably one of my favourite bars in Newcastle

Saturday morning breakfast for three, premises more or less empty so straight to a table. Staff efficient and friendly, no delay in taking drinks order quickly followed by the food order. A Shakshuka ordered which tasted good, very Mexican! A couple of poached eggs on toast and a cooked breakfast washed down with cups of tea. Competitively priced, would return.

Service slow despite lack of clientele, starters came out as and when rather than together, constantly chasing up drinks orders and whole main was missing from our order with no compensating actions to bring the group back onside. Overall a lovely looking g place but let down by staff organisation through front of house and kitchen. Will not be visiting again.

We enjoyed the delicious cocktails and relaxed atmosphere at this restaurant. The service was excellent, and the cocktail specials were a great value. We have dined here multiple times and especially enjoyed the Sunday lunch.

We booked this as part of a hen weekend for bottomless brunch. Upon arrival, we were seated upstairs in a really pretty part of the restaurant. Almost immediately, we all were given a glass of prosecco while the waitress (Neve absolutely one of the best servers I 've had ever! went through the cocktails available and what was in them. They weren 't the usual 'woo woo ' or 'sex on the beach ' they were thought out cocktails that seemed to cater for a range of tastes. So cocktails ordered, Neve tops up my prosecco already and they bring the cocktails over so nice! Then food arrived (we had pretty ordered , it was fresh and good quality. More prosecco and I was only half finished my cocktail when they asked for our next order. This was just on repeat for the rest of our stay there. Service was outstanding, drinks were amazing, ambience was lovely and I honestly couldn 't recommend the bottomless brunch any more! Worth every penny!
