Blackfriars Restaurant

Blackfriars Restaurant Welcome to the historic Blackfriars Restaurant, the time honoured traditional British restaurant
(2395)

Established in 1239 as a Dominican friary, Blackfriars’ rich heritage is the cornerstone of Newcastle’s historic past with the friary being the jewel in the city’s medieval heart. As a former friary in commercial use today, Blackfriars has become one of the city’s most recognised restaurants and is now regarded as a local institution.

We’re so pleased to have raised an incredible amount for the Sir Bobby Robson foundation. 💙

A brilliant day, a great cause and plenty of team spirit! 🙌

A taste of Kent!🍇

At the start of September, our team had the pleasure of visiting Chapel Down in Kent, getting the chance to learn more about their w**es and the people behind them.

It was a fantastic opportunity to see where the magic happens and deepen our knowledge of one of England’s leading w**e producers. 🍷

A huge thank you to the team at Chapel Down for welcoming us and giving us such a brilliant insight into what you do!

This Friday 25 September, we’re swapping chef whites and waistcoats for life jackets as Team Hooked-on Group takes on the NE1 Dragon Boat Race, all in aid of the incredible Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. 🐉

We’ll bring the paddles, the team spirit and hopefully… some coordination! 😂
