About Branches

Branches on Osborne Road in Jesmond has earned its reputation the hard way, through consistent quality, genuine attention to sourcing, and a dining room that makes every visit feel like an occasion. Spread over two picturesque floors, it is instantly recognisable for its famous blossom tree installation and alluring focal booths — elegant without being stuffy, and equally suited to a romantic dinner, a celebration, or an important business meal. The kitchen sources the freshest local produce direct from nearby suppliers, farms, and markets, with menus changing regularly around the best seasonal ingredients in a contemporary British style with global influences. Branches has won TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice award for multiple consecutive years, appears in Newcastle's top ten restaurants, and holds 2025/26 Good Food Award Blue Ribbon status. Open Thursday to Sunday, with lunch and dinner sittings on Fridays and Saturdays. Book online, or call 0191 239 9924 for larger parties.
