You will be spoilt for choice. So many pubs for the size of the place. Would recommend Green Dragon, tiny place but great selection of ales. Little Angel and the Quirky Den if you can get in. Not alot of places show footy but I watched Derby in Duke of York which doesn't have great selection of ales but has TVs and decent food.

Greggs to open its first pub

High street food chain Greggs has announced it will be opening its first pub serving exclusive beers and a menu featuring its classic bakes and sausage rolls. The Golden Flake Tavern is opening within the Fenwick Newcastle department store on Saturday, September 27.
The pub will feature two exclusive beers on draft – the Pink Jammie Pale Ale and the Gosforth 1939 Stottie Lager – which have both been developed in partnership with the Newcastle-based Full Circle Brew Co for the opening. A Greggs-inspired cocktail menu will also be featured on the fully-stocked bar.
Diners can choose from a menu of 15 Greggs-inspired traditional pub dishes, including chicken bake Parmo, steak bake mixed grill, sausage roll & mash and a Greggs ploughman’s platter.

The dessert menu features yum yum bread & butter pudding and pink jammie trifle, a dish of doughnut pieces set in jelly, topped with jam, custard and whipped cream.
Prevous collaborations with Fenwick - Bistro by Greggs in 2023 and the Greggs Champagne Bar last year - we’re thrilled to be launching our third landmark venture together.
“The Golden Flake Tavern brings a fresh twist to the traditional British pub experience and we hope everyone who joined us before, along with many new faces, will come along to enjoy this unique Greggs experience.”
The traditional Sunday carvery - which the pub describes as its “piece de resistance” - will be a choice of steak bake, chicken bake or cheese & onion bake as the centrepiece of the roast, with trimmings including cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings.
The pub can seat 88 people at full capacity (Image: Lewis Munnelly/Greggs/PA Wire )
The pub will host a quiz night every Tuesday from October 7, with tickets available for £5 for teams of up to six people.
Greggs and Fenwick have previously collaborated on Bistro Greggs in December 2023, which served a multi-course menu of Greggs fine-dining interpretations, and the Greggs Champagne Bar in 2024, which saw 8,000 guests enjoy a sausage roll paired with a glass of Champagne throughout the nine-week experience.
Fenwick strategic partnerships director Leo Fenwick said: “This latest collaboration celebrates the best of both brands, pairing Greggs’ much-loved classics with our own distinctive approach to creating memorable in-store experiences.
“As two North East icons, we’re proud to work together again in offering customers something playful, surprising and truly unique in the heart of Newcastle.”
The pub can seat 88 people at full capacity with space at the bar and will remain open until February 15 next year.

Haven't seen a sorachi in absolutely ages, The Bear delivers again.
I had a Camden Stout in the ground last night, and it wasn't too shabby to be honest for a pint poured in a ground.
