Lounge Bar | Restaurant | Courtyard | Function Suites | The Surrounding Area
The Angel View Inn is an expansive, winding combination of buildings within its own 7 acres and is conveniently positioned just minutes from the A1 in the North of the UK.
This is just so far that we’re easy to find, but hear none of the noise from the traffic.
The Angel View Inn is the ‘complete’ venue
We are an expansive and ‘complete’ venue; we even have our very
own ghost, which is conversed about far and wide!
The Inn was originally built as farmhouse and stables. The stonework, layout and form of the old buildings can clearly be seen, along with the old pulley system for lifting bales of hay into the hayloft above the stables.
Over the years, the building has been transformed into a fantastic, flexible venue within which our guests have access to
- Numerous bar and lounge areas (capacity up to 300 people)
- Our hotel (27 rooms)
- Our restaurant (40 seats)
- The Mulberry Suite Function Room (capacity is 120* people)
- The Vineyard Suite Function Room (capacity is 40* people)
-
The Angel View Inn Courtyard
(*function room capacities are dependant on the set up of the room)
Please take your time and use this section of our website to learn about each of the areas of The Angel View Inn in turn.
A drink in the Lounge Bar …
The real strength of the bar and lounge area of The Angel View Inn is its scale and flexibility.
Whilst the exposed stonework, lush carpeting, dark wood floors and exposed wooden beams stretch throughout the split level seating areas, the layout is such that the interior feels like it ‘works’ as one complete space or broken down into smaller, cozier segments.
Sitting comfortably
The seating is a mix of deep, built in upholstered benches, carved wooden and bentwood chairs and leather settees.
Warm, welcoming and well stocked!
A wood burner keeps guests warm and happy, as does the wide assortment of bottled and draft beers, lagers and ciders, which include:
-
Fosters
- John Smith Extra Cold
- Strongbow
- Woodpecker
- Kronenburg Blanc
- Kronenburg 1664 Cold Premier
- Guinness Extra Cold
- John Smiths Extra Smooth
Additionally, there are two draft guest ales (changed regularly), a fine array of spirits, a range of liqueurs and for the connoisseur, a fantastic selection of excellent malt whiskeys.

The Restaurant
The Angel View Inn Restaurant seats up to 40 people
and is separate to the main bar areas.
The restaurant has wonderful panoramic views of the angel of the North.
Traditional and cozy
The restaurant is richly and traditionally decorated with dark wood paneling, dark oak beams in the ceiling, brass ornaments, carved wooden chairs and tables, two dark wood feature dressers and rich red and gold carpeting.
Tables are available from a cozy table for two to much larger numbers for family get together or larger corporate gatherings.
The Courtyard
The courtyard is positioned centrally to the building and is often used for an informal and relaxed location for around 50 people.
There are cast iron tables, chairs and benches for our guests to take a seat at ever popular wedding receptions or increasingly popular business meetings.
Beautiful, ornate and relaxing
The grass area and fountain create a fantastic centerpiece and the conservatory and raised paved area complete the picture.
The courtyard is the perfect location for a few extra photographs of a special wedding day, as a wonderful place to hold arrival and drinks receptions or as a different and memorable outdoor venue for a business meeting for up to 30 people.
Function Suites
The Vineyard Suite
The Vineyard Suite is the smaller of The Angel View Inn’s two function rooms and is a popular room offering a delightful setting for smaller wedding receptions, private dining, business meetings and parties.
The room looks out onto the east courtyard and is located close to the main bar; it is suitable for up to 35 guests
The Mulberry Suite
The Mulberry Suite is the larger of our two function rooms; perfect for weddings, business events, family occasions and more.
The suite can be laid out in a variety of styles and it has direct access through the conservatory to the main courtyard and garden.
Light, airy and complete
Large windows span the walls resulting in a light and airy feel to this popular area of the Inn which also has its own dance floor and bar. The bar has Fosters, Woodpecker, John Smiths Extra Cold and more on draft along with numerous bottles and spirits.
Extremely popular for weddings
The Mulberry Suite is perhaps most popular for weddings as The Angel Inn can cater for up to 80 guests at a silver service wedding breakfast or up to 120 guests for an evening buffet wedding (seating for 90).
The Surrounding Area
The North East is rich in things to see and do. Less than ten minutes from The Angel View Inn, is the heart of Newcastle City Centre, with its fantastic array of shops, numerous museums, the magnificent Theatre Royal, St James’s Park and Metro Radio Arena.
We are also around 3 miles away from The Sage Gateshead and the Baltic Art Centre and only a short distance from the award winning Beamish Open Air Museum.
Oh, and only a 2 minute walk from the Angel View Inn, Anthony Gormley’s Angel of the North. The huge statue has wide-open arms to greet visitors as they reach Gateshead, whether the come by road or by rail and it is one of the most popular pieces of public sculpture in Britain. It weighs 200 tonnes and standing at 20 metres high it is taller than 4 double decker busses. Its wings are 54 metres wide – almost as long as the wings of a Jumbo jet. A visit to the Angel View isn’t complete without a wander over to this amazing piece of public art.
