Flat Iron are pleased to announce that they will be opening their Newcastle restaurant this Spring.

Flat Iron Newcastle will open on Grey Street, one of the city’s most recognisable streets, set within a 19th-century Grade II building at the heart of Grainger Town, moments from the Theatre Royal and Monument Mall.

The restaurant’s concise menu is led by the signature ‘Flat Iron’ steak, taken from the often overlooked featherblade, known for its flavour, tenderness and juiciness when seam butchered with skill and care. The menu will also feature a rotating board of specials, including Wagyu daily specials and a green chilli cheeseburger made using beef from the Flat Iron herd in Thirsk, Yorkshire. Sides will include Flat Iron’s beef dripping chips, creamed spinach, truffled macaroni cheese and crispy bone marrow garlic mash.

A curated selection of wines will make up the drinks list, including Flat Iron’s very own Malbec, specially blended by the Flat Iron team using grapes grown in the Limoux area of the Languedoc in southern France. Alongside the wine list sits a selection of draft beer, house fizzes and Flat Iron’s signature cocktails.

The restaurant’s interior draws on the building’s past, with the space carefully stripped back to reveal as much of the original fabric as possible. Generous ceiling heights and retained industrial elements sit alongside Flat Iron’s signature oak tables, reclaimed chairs and furniture and glass lighting, creating a relaxed and warm space. A central bar anchors the layout, leading through to a 95-cover dining room, while a street-side terrace with architectural planting sits along the historic frontage.

Speaking of the opening, Flat Iron’s Head of Beef Fred Smith said: “Flat Iron was founded on the idea that great steak should be both high quality and great value. Newcastle has long been on our radar, and we’re excited to finally bring what we do to the city and add to its brilliant and ever-growing food scene.”
