Quick info
About Hen & Hops
On High Bridge in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Hen & Hops is a restaurant with a menu of twenty dishes built around chicken wings served with both the drum and the mid joint. Chips round out the order alongside them. The room takes walk-ins rather than bookings, so guests arrive and are seated as tables become available. It opens Wednesday to Sunday and stays closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, giving the kitchen a two-day break each week. The wing preparation, with both joints left on rather than trimmed to one, sets the format for the rest of the menu.

“Service by Callum was amazing. Only two tables were booked in the time we were there but Callum never stopped his duties. Whether it was cleaning tables, stocking the bar, engaging with the clientele etc he was always busy. His employers …”

“Always my go to when in Newcastle for work. Service is always amazing, value is incredible and the quality is always second to none. I love having any excuse to fill up my loyalty card and never had a bad meal here. And the staff are so accommodating and love what they do that if anything were ever wrong (for me never) then they’d go above and beyond to make it right!”

“Having ate in a fair few wings joints over the past few years this place is hard to beat. You can tell the wings our fresh the white meat that just falls of the bone and the fact you get the drum & the mid joint which makes it a winner even …”

“First time here today after wandering by on our last few visits to town and making a note to try it. Me and 3 teen lads with appetites. Honestly just brill. Waitress was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and very good value for money which was a rare treat. We even stayed for dessert and coffee which was also lovely. We hit on with the Friday deal which was £6 for 10 wings but completely underestimated portion size and ordered a plate each AND tenders and chips to share and it's the first time in a while we haven't managed to finish everything. Not because it wasn't nice....we were very impressed and will def be back. Book ahead if you're going......2 parties were unable to be seated just turning up without reservations (but the staff were very accommodating taking numbers and bookings at the door so people could come back later).”

“Hen and Hops is simply revolutionary when it comes to chicken wings. The rest of their food looks incredible as well, but I’d feel like I was cheating on someone if I didn’t go in and get the best chicken wings I’ve ever had, anywhere in …”
