Newcastle is such a great city, with its vibrant nightlife, its fantastic culture, famous bridges and of course the friendliest people. Manager of our student accommodation in Newcastle, Danielle Gallagher, has put together everything you need to know about student life in this wonderful city.
Newcastle has something for everyone, whether you like to take in the local historic buildings, good food, shopping or the restaurants, you will never be left without anything to do. Just outside Newcastle, we have 3 wonderful beaches for when the warmer weather arrives, South Shields beach is my favourite, with its sandy beaches, a few local restaurants and bars on the pier or, if you fancy, there is also a funfair, for those of you who love to get dizzy on the waltzers.
Food first
We have some great food spots here in Newcastle, almost too many to count. One of my favourite restaurants, which is on the Quayside, is Avieka; their Japanese inspired menu is exquisite, and the food is outstanding. You’ll always be able to grab a drink or two, a great meal and enjoy the atmosphere the city has to offer. Another option is a newly opened venue known as Eden, here you can grab a steak, pasta or an amazing pizza which are incredibly served on a wooden pizza board straight from the oven. It’s great as you can see them making your pizza up fresh from your table and into the pizza oven. We also an array of spots where you can expect to find the best bottomless brunch in Newcastle, the perfect treat! Wherever you go make sure you lookout for special offers as there are some great deals for some incredible venues: from planted ceilings, and even private cages, and plenty of places which turn into clubs after dark for you to enjoy some great cocktails.
The team at our Northumbria University accommodation, Plummer House, will keep you up to speed with all that’s available, browse our collection of menus or just ask and we’ll offer great insight into other places we enjoy. After all, we also have your favourites, such as Nando’s, McDonald’s, etc. We have so much choice when it comes to food here in Newcastle, you will want to try them all.
