NEWCASTLE FOOD MONTH
RETURNS APRIL 2025

Newcastle Food Month is back for its fifth year, and if there’s one thing this city does well, it’s eat—and eat well.

From fine dining to beachside cafés where the salt air is as good as the coffee, from historic pubs pouring the perfect schooner to hidden gems dishing up plates worth writing home about, Newcastle’s food scene is thriving, eclectic, and absolutely worth celebrating.

This April, we’re turning the city into one big dining table, with 50 Plate Dates, 70 Feature Events, and 80 participating venues and businesses bringing their A-game. Think long lunches that effortlessly slide into cocktail hour, bold flavours that demand your full attention, and dishes so good they’ll have you planning your next meal before you’ve finished the first. Whether you’re here for the chef-led experiences, the cult classics, or just a really great excuse to eat out more, Newcastle Food Month is your golden ticket.

Loosen the belt, book the table, and settle in—this is a celebration worth savouring.
