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 should be proud of him. Food was as good as ever. No drop in quality or portions when booking with a 50% discount. I would definitely encourage others to go.”

“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 more, the choice of sauces & dry rubs is unreal, I got there take on the buffalo sauce , garlic buffalo, Kingston kick & and the wing of the week Sriracha BBQ sauce which had a nice little kick,, the ranch was spot on to. I went for the cajun waffle fries & garlic aioli , curried mayo, chicken gravy, homemade coleslaw which could not be faulted. The service was warm & friendly and took me right through the menus and special boards, clean & tidy ,well priced few tables in which had good vibes and I guessed they were all regulars. Loved the idea of local ales to, Next time I think il will go for the keg of wings can't wait to return. Keep up the good work.”

“My Dad takes me to Hen&Hops all the time. It’s my favourite. I like the original Buffalo Wings and they are really nice. The chips are really good also. My dad gets different kinds of wings and the cookie in a skillet is my favourite. The staff are really welcoming and friendly. My dad says it’s really good value for money!”

Chicken wings are the draw at Hen & Hops, with reviewers describing white meat that falls off the bone and both the drum and mid joint on each serving. Tenders and chips also come up, and one family left portions unfinished after ordering a plate each. Value and friendly, accommodating staff recur. One reviewer says two parties without reservations could not be seated, though staff took bookings at the door.
