Charlick's

What a brilliant addition to a beautiful old pub. The once 'steak restaurant' part of The Stag is now a wonderful dining experience that doesn't feel stuffy or pretentious. I looked at the menu and booked online. My friend and I walked around Vardon Ave one hectic Saturday night, very confused when we couldn't see a big sign saying 'Charlick's'. We didn't realise that it was part of The Stag Hotel, and the dining addition to the hotel's upgrade that has really bought it back to life. Back to the food. It isn't cheap, but for what you get, I wouldn't expect it to be. My duck breast with bbq plums, red cabbage and jus was sublime. My vegetarian friend was also delighted with her meal of roasted broccoli with miso and some nutty thing on top too. A number of the meals can be made vegetarian, which is great to know as the menu is meat heavy and could scare off the vego's. The choice of 2 desserts being a citrus tart and fresh berries with orange blossom cream sound simple, but were both divine. So flavoursome and the perfect end to a wonderful dining experience. I cannot wait to get back. Welcome to the East End Charlick's! Highly recommend.

Nice, relaxed restaurant. Food was very nice, but would recommend that you have a starter and main course each, even if you are sharing. Portion size isn't huge. Good wine list.

OMG the food is amazing. Found by chance, but will never forget. The service, wine and atmosphere, just amazing. Worth a trip from Newcastle
