FAQ

Blackfriars benefits from two licences - firstly we are approved by Newcastle City Council for marriages and civil Partnerships in our Banquet Hall and our Tasting Room.

Blackfriars premesis allows us to serve food and alcohol until midnight (though last orders at the bar are 23.30), and also to host live and recorded music as lon as it cannot be heard beyond our boundaries. Live acoustic music workds well in our Banquet Hall, as does recorded music through our in-house sytem, though we are situated in a residential area and therefore cannot allow lous amplified music, live or recorded. And out of courtesy you must as your guests to leave quietly.

We can also serve drink outside until 7pm though again must abide by strict rules about keeping down any noise and being good neighbours.

I chose Blackfriars banquet hall for my wedding ceremony and reception for 50 guests, from start to finish the staff were super helpful and nothing was too much trouble, the events manager was even helping to pin buttonholes on members of my wedding party. The banqueting hall is a lovely intimate venue with a period feel you would usually only find in a church, bonus being that the parlour bar and outside courtyard are available for photos and mingling. All of our guests were able to choose their meal choices and everyone has said how lovely the food was. I feel I should also mention the newly renovated toilets for the banquet hall to use so you don’t need to use the ones in the restaurant. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Blackfriars for a wedding or celebration in their banquet hall and we’ll certainly be back to eat in the restaurant again in the near future

Thank you Blackfriars for all your hard work for our wedding reception. The staff were friendly as accommodating; the food delicious; the banquet hall stunning. Many thanks especially to Laura Race for all the organisation and planning that she performed and helped with. The venue is perfect for a wedding reception and I would highly recommend
