Pleased To Meet You is a cocktail bar, restaurant and private events venue at 41–45 High Bridge in central Newcastle. Set in a historic building, it combines a polished dining room with the energy of a late-night bar.
The restaurant serves seasonal British dishes and sharing plates, using locally sourced ingredients where practical. Lunch and dinner menus balance substantial main courses with smaller plates that suit a table ordering food alongside cocktails.
Afternoon tea and changing set menus add different reasons to visit, while the Viceroy suite provides a private space with its own bar and music facilities for larger occasions. Bespoke food and drink packages can be arranged for celebrations, weddings and corporate events.
Handcrafted cocktails are joined by premium spirits, local craft beer, cask ale and a broad wine selection. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should check the current menu and discuss their needs with staff before ordering, as seasonal dishes and ingredients can change.
Address: 41–45 High Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 1EW, England
