Crown Posada — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Visited with my Boyfriend and Brother after visiting the Ouseburn festival (highly recommended) it was very busy but the staff were extremely efficient, helpful and professional plus polite even though they were rushed off their feet and this is a credit to them. I absolutely loved it here, so historical and interesting. So many fascinating pictures, wall hangings and historical pieces from maritime history. The woodwork and ceiling are gorgeous and you can feel the tradition and history. The selection of real ales are superb as are all of the other drinks. Loved the seating in the little alley/outside corridor good for people watching, so quirky and unusual. You can see the original tiles which are stunning. Loved the stained glass.

Our Lady the Virgin Mary was looking forn somewhere to stay and Posadas / Inns were full! ( hence a stable.) In Wolverhampton we visited " The Posada." Apparently a reason for a festival in South...

A real traditional pub totally unspoiled by so called progress. Excellent range of real ale at a great price.

Update - Dec. 2021. Went tonight for the first time since the re-opening following "Covid restrictions". Decor has changed but it is basically the same Crown Posada 🙂 apart from VERY big price rises. Pint and a wine £12.00 ☹☹☹☹

Having travelled from Scotland, VERY surprised nobody was wearing face masks when moving around. Given the pandemic this made us feel very concerned. Had one pint and left. I appreciate that it is a unique building with its own problems regarding space, but not enforcing masks when moving around is, quite frankly, negligent. Still a great...
