Cheap Food

• I also found Puccinis to be very poor-poor food-terrible service. Avoid it. Raj Tandoori down Pudding Chare off the Bigg Market does nice cheap curries, and for once has some decent bottled beer to go with it. All the chinese places in Stowell Street are top notch but a lot more expensive than the curry houses-except the £5 to £10 all you can eat ones which are good value.
• greasy spoon cafe on grainger street. lovely sandwich shop as you enter green market on the far left outdoor entrance on ground floor.
• Rumpolis on the Quayside. Class pizzas 5-7 quid a pop
• Get Stuffed, St. Mary's place. A haunt form my student days.
• Check out HOTBOX near haymarket - on the path to Northumbria Uni - can be hard to spot as it is downstairs and small but worth checking out the lush range of food they do at student friendly staff. Northumbria students tend to reside here, so if you dont like poly students and yr from Newcastle make sure you dont get swamped by all the fake rah's that hang here. Def worth checking out tho. If your in Jesmond check out Will's coffeeshop - with lots on offer at reasonable prices, get there if you can
• Lau's in Chinatown. Great buffet, very cheap.
• Rendezvous Cafe at Whitley Beach is well nice - a bit of a time warp here but the owners are very nice and there's loads of tracks and tarmac around

• pani's on highbridge. energetic, busy, fun Italian. Perfect for a spot of lunch
• china town
• up stairs at the monument mall
• Italians on Grey street all of them and china town.
• urm.... China town and the gate are absolutely great for food. Franky and Bennys just of Northumberland Street nearer to Haymarket is great for pizza, and take away food; Marxi's (M+S!) Fenwicks, on Franky and Tonies (take away bake potatoes and such like for lunch hour (also just of Northumberland Street nearer to Haymarket!)
• try Puccinis in Pudding Chare, its under new owners and management, so maybe a better meal this time around, dont wait anther 15 years!
• JUNK FOOD PARADISE

• Puccini near the Bigg market, friendly good service and great prices, now being run by the owners/managers. No problems with service, best to book as very busy!
• Made in Italy in Gosforth High St closed and is calles pizzaazz or something similar. looks just like pizza express, which is next door.
• All you can eat buffets from china town! Loads of happy hour italian restaurants near the quayside chargin about £3 for a giant pizza - UNOs springs to mind
• Is there anywhere safe to eat in Newcastle.

• New restaurant is definitely worth a try - Blackfriars Cafe Bar (www.blackfriarscafebar.co.uk) serves great wraps and cappucinos and is a superb restaurant by night. Say Bobby Robson there the other day so it must be good. Play live jazz there every Sunday.
• had probably the most disappoiting meal in 15 years last night at Puccinis, near the bigg market last night. the service was slow, the starter never came and when the main meal arrived, instead of giving us whilst it was hot it was paraded around the restauurant to appear 10 mins later somewhat cooler. and when i later commented politely on the poor food service was told that the fauult lay woth me as they had an excellent reputation. I urge anybody to vote with their feet or should we expect poor and rude service
• Y'all should try dim-sum at Mangos onStowell street. They do it every day up to 5pm. Just ask to try what the next table is eating and you'll fast learn. The menus don't help as much, but ask for the CHINESE menu, not the big shiny English one which is not adventurous. DIMSUMS are cheap as well.
• mal maison, gotta be worth a vist down by the riverside, but save the pennies first.
• linos opera is on Market Street and is the most lush italian dish i have eva tasted. quaint and cosy setting its really reasonable and i would recomend it 2 any1.
• check out pizza bella pasta on the quayside, but make sure u go into the back room and you will find yourself sitting eating within the leg of the bridge...in a kindof cavern! the food's good too..if u like italian.
• Boskoops on Old Eldon Square.
• Macdonalds has always been my favourite fast food takeaway and there are plenty of them dotted around every corner.
• Panni's is spelt wrong - it's Pani's. Their web site is www.pani.net Cafe Procope no longer exists...
• Made in Italy is on gosforth High street.The food is farely cheep and the quality and quonity is farely good too Est Est Est is a brilliant resturant.It serves Italian food and with the friendlyness of the staff, u find it easy to sit back and soak up the atmospher F
• A definite must on a trip to Newcastle is a visit to Panni's on High Bridge Street(opposite the Bacchus Pub).A family run Italian restaurant with a lunch and evening menu and regularly changing specials. The food is excellent, inexpensive but top quality. The staff are dead friendly and always keen to indulge in a bit of banter!!! They've just opened a deli next door as well and the olives are fab!
• Chinatown is in Stowell Street (North-West of City & handy for St James's Park). There must be at least a dozen Chinese Restaurants.
• We have everything, a great China town, mongolian, 'pretentious'(cafe procope), bog standard. There are more Italian resteraunts per square mile than in Italy (maybe) For fusion, go to Barn Again near St. James' Park (up the toon!) it's pricy but mind blowing.
• Smashing curry house: The Komal on Stanhope St in the West End. Like a cafe, formica tables, no licence take your own booze no corkage. Cheap and the curry is superlative, far better that the fancy dan city centre ones.
• If you're feeling a bit peckish during the day, go to Samanthas sandwich bar in the Greenmarket. Good grub for little cash. You get a chip buttie, choccy biscuit, crisps and a can of Pepsi for £1.50. And you get some interesting conversation from the staff.
• Wok This Way-chinese all-day buffet. Cheap food. Massive choice. Eat as much as you can. Good quality bait. Next to the Irish Club/Gallowgate bus station.
• Greggs Bakers (take away) sells cheap pasties, sausage rolls etc. 14-15 Garinger Market, Newcastle.
• Undoubtably the best take away on the entire planet is "Munchies", just down from the Haymarket. It has the best and cheapest fodder in town. Watch out for the smooth bloke with the crown as he'll give you a yellow card if you're rowdy.
• Most places in Newcastle, pizza and pasta are 2.75 and there's so muchchoice. So check out. this web site with independent info about Newcastle's Italianrestaurants
• If you want some fine, but cheap tucker, head for The Cradlewell in Jesmond. A few too many Sloane students stop it from being a really class pub, but the food is legendary. Everything comes on steaming hot plates (they sizzle when you put your vinegar on) and the highlight is an all-day-breakfast at £1.50. If you're hungry, head for The Cradlewell.
• If you aren't into any of that posh food, and prefer to eat grease and lard in a sweaty environment surrounded by cheap blow up pictures of semi naked, ahem, ladies, then Breadcrumbs is your best bet. Having said that, trading standards probably closed it down yonks ago, so don't get your hopes up too high...
• Blakes coffee shop is a must. They do heavenly sandwiches, amazing cakes, and hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A great place to rest after shopping in Eldon Square.
