Happy 2019! Feeling the pinch this month, but still wanting to enjoy a meal out (albeit it on a budget)? I hear you! Here’s a list (in progress) of some of the best restaurant deals in Newcastle and beyond this month. Get booked in and save some pennies.

**Disclaimer: I haven’t been paid or gifted in anyway to promote these deals. I just love a good bargain and have found these by searching my social media. I will update as I find more.**

NE1 Newcastle Restaurant Week is back from 21st-27th January with over 100 restaurants involved. Each venue usually offers a set menu or deal for £10 or £15 per person. It would be a good time to try relative newbies St Vincent (3 plates for £10), Route (a bargain at 3 courses for £15) or Umai Mi (3 courses for £15 too).

Vegan Restaurant Week is also running the same week as NE1’s restaurant week from 21st-27th January. To see which restaurants are participating, click here.

These aren’t January-only offers but still really good deals to be had that you can take advantage of this month.

2-4-1 dining at Dobson & Parnell every Tuesday when you dine from the set menu. (I’ve done this before and it’s a total bargain!)

The lunch and early evening menu at Cote Brasserie is a steal with two courses for £11.50 or three courses for £13.50.

Children eat FREE at Trenchers fish and chip restaurant in Spanish City, Whitley Bay from Monday to Friday every week between 3.30-6.30pm!
