    Pleasantly surprised how we enjoyed dishes such as raw steak pie and then not so much of other things like asparagus with anchovies. Everyone has their own tastes. A pleasant experience and will return in time.

    14 delicious taster dishes served over a 2 hour period by lovely staff. A bit of everything served in unique ways for little taste sensations. A mousse that tasted like Sunday lunch, cod that melted in your mouth & home made sweeties to finish. If your looking for something a little different then this is the perfect treat.

    Excellent food, and you could see that care was taken with the menu choice. The wait between start and main was way too long, and although the staff were lovely they did not mention this or apologise. I'd definitely give them the benefit of the doubt and visit again.

    We have been to Peace and Loaf a few times. Although the taster menu had good flavours our overall impression is that we would prefer a normal menu with a few choices.

    as some one that is a huge foodie and have been to multiple Michelin star restaurants can honestly say hands down has been one of THE best dining experiences ive ever had! the variety of courses were absolutely astounding on top of the astronomical complexity of flavours and textures. on top of a superb service and atmosphere im fed up of stuffy stale overly formal restaurants and you guys have created an environment that is relaxed war and welcoming to people from ANY walk of life. genuinely thankful for this experience

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent but the quantities were very small and the prices are high. Also we ended up outside the main dining area despite having booked early. We shall not be going again. A shame since it was excellent before Covid.

    A really delightful and varied tasting menu that can't be faulted. Thai green soup, salmon & cucumber, raw steak mix, broccoli & molluscs, hogget & anchovy were some of the highlights. Don't often have cocktails but bicycle thief gorgeous and our bottle of Douro splendid. Lovely staff, lovely meal. Still our favourite fine dining in Newcastle for a treat once or twice a year

    As always, amazing food . The ability of Dave and his team to bring immense flavour to the most humble of ingredients...mushrooms and onions for example never fails to astonish me. Beautiful food, beautifully presented, excellent knowledgeable staff. We had the 40 pounds meal with the wine pairings. Excellent choice, and the fortified Malbec was sublime !

    Interesting experience and if you are familiar with tasting menus you will have a great time. Lots of small but perfectly formed dishes. Some might be a bit out there for a few patrons but it is what they want you to be - challenged to a certain degree. Great service and staff.

    I’ve heard so many nice things about this place so booked to try it. Although there were quite a few items on the taster menu that I didn’t relish the thought of I did decide I would at least try as much as I could with an alternative being offered for food I couldn’t eat which was the salmon. All the food was fabulous and full of flavour and could not fault taste and presentation. Two of my favourites were Thai Green Broth and Shiitake Katsu. There was one course which was slightly undercooked to my liking, but I was quickly given the option of the same course again but I appreciably declined. Staff were very polite and friendly and also very busy at any given time, so with this in mind, please be as kind as we were. An alternative slant to dining elsewhere which was an enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend this place.
