The story
Long Friday brings Modern British cooking to Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne, operating from 46 Brentwood Avenue under an owner who lives nearby. This proximity keeps the kitchen grounded in the local community while the menu draws on Northumbrian produce alongside influences from Mexico, the Mediterranean, and Japan. Staff guide guests through a series of small plates designed for sharing, blending sophisticated technique with a sense of fun.
Seasonal dishes rotate regularly, featuring snacks like tom yum crab on a tapioca cracker and plates such as barbecue cod with braised butter beans and chorizo. Vegetable preparations share the spotlight, proving that local produce fits seamlessly into this eclectic Modern British menu; roasted cauliflower arrives with smoked houmous and chermoula. Sweet finishes include fried apple pie with Chantilly cream or a tonka bean and lemon sundae set with nettle jelly.
The beverage list supports the food with wines available by the glass, house-made soft drinks, and creative cocktails including a noted spicy Margarita. Guests can dine in cosy interior corners during colder months or take tables outside when the weather warms. Both reservations and walk-ins are welcomed, fitting the venue's aim to serve as a flexible spot for neighbours and visitors alike.
