Explore The Arches With Us

Newcastle is full of quirky little spaces that might have escaped your notice – take for instance the railway arches running along Westgate Road, Forth Street and Forth Goods Yard, which have become a hub for small, independent businesses. Come with us as we explore the brilliant venues that call this part of Newcastle home and the quirky spaces they inhabit.

Food
 

Boutique restaurant The French Quarter will whisk you away to the streets of Paris in no time thanks to their delicious menu and expert knowledge. Founders Cedric and Catherine Boc-Ho are passionate about French food, and it shows in their traditional and authentic menus and superb wine list.
 

When it comes to lunchtimes Deli Central have a huge range of freshly made sandwiches, deli paninis and toasted wraps, or why not change things up a bit and go for a salad box or warming jacket potato?

If it’s a tasty tipple you’re after, cram yourself into one of the the Arches' quirky micro-pubs, where you’ll find plenty of specialist knowledge and interesting brews to savour. Beer Street in Arch 10 is the place to be for cask and craft beers both on tap and in bottles, while The Split Chimp in Arch 7 is a cosy spot full of comfy sofas and real ale delights.

Shop
 

For such a dinky space wine shop Cavavin more than packs a punch when it comes to choice. Supported by a vast network of vineyards and wine growers, you’ll find unique bottles of wine (and spirits too) that’ll impress any wine connoisseur.
 

And when you need that emergency chockie bar, bottle of pop, essential magazine or last minute bit of grocery shopping, Arch News has got you covered thanks to their vast array of products in the heart of the city!

Hair, Health & Beauty

Sometimes you need a pick-me-up of a different kind, and the Arches more than deliver with a range of businesses that can offer a bit of ‘you’ time.
