A fabulous fine dining restaurant. The gourmet food is very well presented and absolutely delicious. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and very professional. From entering the establishment, you are greeted with curtesy they take your doesn't happen often enough in most restraunts. The decor inside is well designed with a feature blossom tree taking pride of place. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back

This place deserves all 5 stars for everything! We wanted something special for our Anniversary and they certainly didn't disappoint. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the doors. They took our jackets, while we sat in the bar area for a drink. The mojito, was beautifully presented, with a little vanilla bubble, and coconut dry ice! We chose black pudding and belly pork, and beetroot and goats cheese for starters, these were amazing. Seafood linguine and chicken for main courses, again perfectly cooked, and very tasty. Desserts, sticky toffee pudding and the mango cheesecake were delicious. The restaurant was cosy, clean, and we requested a table under the "tree". The staff were lovely, attentive, pleasant and the little extras were rather special too. Thank you to all the Banches team for making a night to remember, highly recommended for a special meal out. Hope to see you again soon.

Tried for first time today with my mam for the tasting menu. Food was outstanding. Excellent value and service was amazing the lady who served us always had a smile on her face and looked after us really well with wine top ups. It's beautiful inside and I can highly recommend 👌 we have booked to try Sunday lunch next.

Very good food. It has a Michelin feel to it, with the food decorated very nicely. As far as I am aware, it does not have a Michelin star. Service is very good. It is on the pricey side, but the food was great. As we went as a family, tried different dishes. I feel the best one was the ‘8 oz rib eye steak’. Very meaty and grilled taste. Well cooked. There was a in between dish which are rounded balls, tasted like croquettes, they were nice, but I can’t find the name. I think it was given as a special. Everything else were good but felt it was pricey. Recommended for special occasions. Don’t forget to wear smart

I am so glad my husband and I discovered this restaurant while on holiday in Newcastle. Luckily, it was right next to our hotel. The atmosphere was romantic and the interiors were very elegant. Every dish was delicious and presented artistically. Even the bread served with butter and salt with crushed peppercorns was so good. So was their soup of the day. The highlight for me was the salmon and seafood dish. My husband enjoyed his fish and chips too. We were even given some complimentary fish cakes which were delightful. For a fine dining restaurant, it was reasonably priced. Their staff were very attentive as well. We’d love to come back the next time we visit Newcastle.

This restaurant is absolutely stunning inside and out. They have taken pride in the appearance of the restaurant and the staff representing them. Upon arrival, we were greeted by such a lovely team who showed us to our table. Our jaws dropped when we saw how beautifully decorated the restaurant was and all we could say was “wow!”. We were then greeted by our waitress Sophie. Sophie is by far the nicest, friendliest, most enthusiastic waitress I’ve ever met in my life! She’s SO happy all the time and always made us giggle! She’s a valuable asset to your restaurant and a representation of your business in every aspect. What a bundle of joy! Thank you for your amazing hospitality Sophie and your fantastic menu recommendations (especially those fries!). The drinks were absolutely delicious, the food was so beautifully presented and tasted exquisite. The flavours were so aromatic and tasteful, the chefs are very talented and the menu choices are amazing!! The food came in a timely manner and did not disappoint. We were given some freebies as tasters in between our meals which were SO DELICIOUS and very much appreciated (lovely added touch of service). Sadly we filled up so much we couldn’t try dessert. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough and I will definitely be going back when I’m next in Newcastle.
