The Jolly Fisherman on the Quay is the sister to the renowned Jolly Fisherman Craster. Our aim is to create a pub and restaurant that you would be happy to visit in all seasons, with excellent food and drinks, and a warm, cosy atmosphere. We want each venue to have a unique selling point, something we’ve achieved in Craster with the best view in Northumberland and now on the Quayside, with our incredible views of the iconic Tyne Bridge and Sage Gateshead. With only the best fish and game from our local suppliers, there’s nowhere quite like the Jolly.
Whether it’s a function, dinner for two, a family get together or just popping in for a drink after a long walk along the Newcastle Quayside, we look forward to welcoming you in.

With an emphasis on local produce, our rustic menu is sourced as much as possible from the North East. Fish from both North Shields and Hartlepool occupy a large proportion of our menu, and our game is shot fresh from various estates across Northumberland. We also have some classic dishes from Craster on the menu, like our delicious Crab soup and Kipper Scotch Egg. It’s not only our food that’s from the North either, our Head Chef Steve Jobson is a born and bred Geordie. Having cooked all over the country, he’s settled back into his home town, bringing his creative and elegant dishes with him.
The Jolly’s Restaurant boasts some of the best views of The Iconic Tyne Bridge, the Sage Gateshead and the Quayside from our inside terrace, along with the most luxurious decor, it really is the place to dine! We feel it’s very important to keep a relaxed feel and we achieve this with the decor, ambience and quality and style of food. It’s a place where you can enjoy fantastic rustic food with friends, family and business colleagues alike.

A rustic, relaxed bar, with stripped wood floors, tables, and an intimate atmosphere. We have a delectable cocktail menu, created by our resident Mixologist, and a refreshing and extensive list of gin, whisky and craft ale.
-Pop in for a drink-
We have sampled many a fine wine (hard job I know) to make sure we are bringing you a great list to choose from. We aim to find something a little unusual and off the beaten track to help please your pallet. We are committed to training all our team with our senior team completed WSET 2. Our wine merchant based in Edinburgh only supply to a select number of outlets in the North East meaning we are the only place on the Quayside with our list.
-A wine for everyone-
We are located in the old Waterline pub, next to the law courts on Newcastle’s Quayside.
