The venue also promotes group functions and positions itself as a place that can accommodate a wide range of occasions, including family outings. Whether you are after food, a few drinks or a relaxed waterfront gathering, The Dockyard offers an approachable pub setting in Newcastle without making the experience feel overly formal.
