The Cycle Hub — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Cycle Hub, Newcastle

I visited Cycle Hub today for a breakfast brunch and a relaxing coffee. With the lovely weather, it was the perfect time to try it, especially since they have a fantastic outdoor seating area right next to the Tyne River. The interior features modern chipboard with a chic finish, offering a contemporary yet inviting feel. The selection includes cakes, J-potatoes, and both warm and cold sandwiches. I had the bacon, brie, and cranberry sandwich along with a caramel latte, which came to £10.52. Considering the generous portion size of the sandwich, served in a soft, long roll, I thought this was very reasonable. The coffee was exceptional—creamy, smooth, and sweet, with beautiful latte art. My only feedback would be that the sandwich could’ve been a bit warmer as it felt the bacon was prepared and placed in the sandwich after but still a enjoyable sandwich.

The staff were incredibly friendly, both inside and out. We moved inside due to the weather, and Lynn was very welcoming, even offering a free sausage for our dog and giving her a warm greeting. This kind of hospitality goes a long way for dog owners. The gentleman who served me, though I didn’t catch his name, was also very friendly and made sure I didn’t feel rushed or pushed out.

Overall, it’s a great stop if you’re walking along the river in Newcastle, especially if you're near Ouseburn, as it's only about 15 minutes from the start of the path. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back again.

They also host a hub for cyclists with a repair centre, though I haven’t used this service, so I can’t comment on it. There are toilets available, and parking is pay-and-display, managed by the...

The staff are very friendly but the food is terrible and a complete rip off. They tried to help as much as possible but... we asked for a BLT and there was no bacon so we asked if we could have Tuna mayo sandwich without sweetcorn, they said yes, then the lady in charge of the kitchen said no sorry they can't, we said OK anyway so we're getting 3 Tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches at this point, on brown bread. At a cost of £4.50 each. When they came they consists of 2 slices of bog standard brown bread with a really sloppy pre-made Tuna and sweetcorn mix in a bag, not on a plate, The sandwich wasn't even cut in half and no salad or crisps or anything. The mayo was dripping out the bottom it was so runny. My wife sent it back before touching it they gave her a soft cream cheese bagel as a replacement. I ate mine and my son ate half of his. The bread was the biggest issue, for £4.50 you would expect better bread and presentation.

Sorry can't reply to your message so will edit mine. In the picture is shown the Tuna and sweetcorn sandwich, this is on the menu hence ordering it. We asked what the bread options were and we were told white or brown, we assumed nice bread, we asked for brown and got this served in a bag, not cut, we were told the filling was a pre mixed bought one hence sweetcorn was already in it.

Regarding not knowing what it is? I looked on-line at your menu and if you look you will see you have a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich on the menu, it comes in a nice tray, with lettuce and has a nice seeded bread bun in the picture. If I had actually seen a picture of that before I ordered there is no way I would have accepted any of the sandwiches you served...

My husband(!) and I had our wedding lunch here 31st October 2024. What a delightful time we had! As we were catering for 30 people, we used outside caterers (can recommend Community Catering) and The Hub made sure there was enough space for them to set out food lovely. The bar selection was great for our needs and they even ensured there was a small cocktail menu available at our request (pina coladas are delicious!). Jill and Heather took care of our every need when arranging the event (and during) and I think were even more excited than me! They made the space absolutely beautiful for us. Many of our guests had not been before and were very impressed and will certainly be back again soon as customers. The other staff in attendance on the day were great too, happy, friendly and polite. It is a fabulous little hidden gem of a location which is perfect for a walk (or cycle!) along the Quayside or the Ouseburn, with beautiful views along the river Tyne with backdrop of the bridges.

Although we were unable to use their food at our event, we have eaten here before and it has always been delicious. It is worth noting too that they use as many local suppliers and small business as possible which in my view is really worth celebrating. Keep an eye on their drinks menu as it changes with the season which is a lovely little touch too. On a cold day, you can still sit outside to enjoy the view too as they even have some blankets that you can borrow to keep the chill off.

Thanks again, from the new Mr and...
