Oldfields the Restaurant

About the venue

Oldfields the Restaurant in Jesmond, Newcastle opened to the public on Friday 14th November 2003.

It appears that the older part of this building was built as a telephone exchange for Jesmond in 1905. Formerly the Scout headquarters, the site has undergone extensive work to produce the impressive environment that we have today. Initially many local residents were understandably worried about our plans and were concerned that we were seeking permission for a bar similar to many others in the area. The images below shows how we envisaged the restaurant would look, and how it actually looked on opening: We believe that we've delivered what we promised! Similarly to Durham, the Jesmond restaurant is split between informal and slightly more formal dining. This provides a unique dining experience for residents of Jesmond, Gosforth and around.
