Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited Branches with our daughter who was looking at Newcastle Uni. First impression was good as the staff were very friendly and we enjoyed a drink at the bar before eating. Very professional bar staff and drinks presented very well. Food was amazing with...the mussels for starter and the braised beef being delicious. Staff were very helpful throughout and would highly recommend this restaurant.More

You need to get a little dressed up for this. Great food and service. They've really made an effort for December. I think the best soup I've ever tasted.

This was a first time visit for us and it did not disappoint. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We attended on a Sunday so it was a no brainer to try the Sunday lunch and therefore both ordered the trio of meat. It...did not disappoint, it was delicious! I can’t pick a favourite part as every bite was just as good as the last. The red cabbage was delightful. Although very full, we couldn’t resist a sticky toffee pudding to share and it was incredible. The only sticking point was the cost. The food and service was very good, however for two alcoholic drinks, two lunches and a dessert it cost £101. Which is definitely a treat for us, we couldn’t sustain this every week or even every month.More

Branches is bright and chic, front of house Stuart was very friendly and welcoming. Service is was provided by James and he was also very friendly and efficient. The food quality is excellent, perfectly presented and delicious, a touch of class. The portions for a...quality restaurant where also very generous. Our daughter contacted Stuart while we were dining and arranged payment over the phone. When the restaurant found it was our anniversary we were treated to a bonus course, impressively presented, a nice touch. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, a little more expensive but worth it for the quality.More

You can sit outside but I’m not sure there are outdoor heaters. The restaurant is well spaced out and the measures in place will make you feel very safe. Enjoy. 😁

It’s just the Sunday Lunch menu on a Sunday. Sunday opening hours are 1200 to 1800, so just for Sunday lunch.

I think trainers would be allowed. Restaurants need all the customers they can get these days, so I doubt that would turn you away. But if you are going to a quality restaurant like Branches, why not put in a bit of effort... More
