PUBS NEAR KINGSTON PARK
- Twin Farms – It’s vey traditional inside with stone walls and floors and wooden furniture. The food is lovely and the menu is quite varied and is reasonably priced at around £7 or £8 for a main course. Drinks are reasonable and they sell a variety of beers. It’s a cozy place, perfect for a pre-rugby pint. Often very popular with away supporters as it’s about 10-minute walk from the stadium.
Back in town, Newcastle has every type of bar you could imagine, from real ale pubs to cocktail bars to massive clubs. ViewNewcastle.co.uk offers a pretty extensive list.

Upon exiting the station turn right, head past (or via!) the Twin Farms pub, take a right then left and you’ll be on the road to the stadium.
By Air: Newcastle Airport is only a few miles outside of the City. Flights operate to a good range of destinations including Aberdeen, Belfast (City and International), Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Cork, Dublin, Jersey, London (Heathrow) and Paris (CDG). The airport has its own station on the Tyne & Wear Metro, where you can catch a train to Central Station in the heart of the city in around 25 minutes or directly to the ground in about 5 (alighting at Bank Foot station, not Kingston Park).ht then left and you’ll be on the road to the stadium.
