Quick info
About The Carriage
The Carriage is a fully vegan pub on Archbold Terrace in Newcastle Upon Tyne, set in an old building that was once Jesmond Railway station and still has original features. The kitchen serves vegan fish and chips with home cooked chips, and Sunday dinners and lunches follow the same plant-based menu. At the bar, Guinness is poured by the pint and dandelion and burdock is on tap. A free arcade machine and a free jukebox give visitors games and music at no charge. The pub is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the vegan Sunday lunch, which is described as tasty, with a fully vegan menu and lots of choice. One diner says it doesn't even feel vegan. Close behind is the fish and chips: one reviewer calls the vegan version tasty, another had the "lucky fish n chips" piping hot with proper home cooked chips, and a third singles out chips cooked thrice. Drinks draw steady comment too, including a great selection of beers, pints of Guinness, and dandelion and burdock on tap. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, with one barman described as helpful and one server as funny. Several mention the old building with its original features and quirky little details, and one reviewer's mum remembers it as Jesmond Railway station. The one stated drawback is that beers are on the expensive side, though that reviewer felt the atmosphere and food made up for it. Two say the pub is hidden away or tricky to find at first. Visitors also mention a free arcade machine, free games, a free jukebox, and a small courtyard for sunny days.
