We often eat at Cafe21 & the Bistro in Fenwick's & thoroughly enjoy not only the food but service & ambiance too - however not today. The first disappointment was the Thai green curry was missing from the menu. The second was the poor burger that I chose. It wasn't particularly large (a small patty). It was overcooked & quite dense and extremely salty. To such an extent my mouth was salty for an age afterwards. I didn't want to create a fuss as my Wife was enjoying her 'look forward to' dish of prawns & spaghetti. Couldn't fault the service! Intersing to note that for a Friday afternoon the Bistro seemed particularly quiet.

Very tasty smoked salmon and crab starter. Pollock dish lovely and so was vegan cheeseburger. Earl grey ice cream could have been stronger flavoured, almon cake delicious. Waitresses very attentive and efficient.

We went for a traditional afternoon tea for a leaving party. The food was delicious, scones arrived still warm. The hand made cakes and sweets were exceptional. The staff were very attentive and made our visit a memorable one. Well worth the money compared to other venues who charge a lot more.

The afternoon tea was over priced and the food that was on the afternoon tea wasn?t nice. Service was fine but the pricing is ridiculous for what you get.

Excellent food and fantastic service. Fish fingers were incredible have been a couple of times now and it is always service with a smile. Both times i have been served by a young redhead waitress and am always made to feel extremely welcome and always pointed towards something on the menu i would enjoy

Had a lovely afternoon tea. It was a leaving present from my old job, we did upgrade to the champagne. However my friend's told me that they were told it was included in the gift experience they had bought. Staff are so friendly and helpful

We had the Afternoon Tea and food and service were excellent! However we didn't know that the Café is inside a shopping mall. Probably that would have taken us off...

The menu is excellent, and plenty of choices, all reasonably priced. The waitress we had on the 11/8/23, when we visited for restaurant week, Katrina, was very welcoming, pleasant and knowledgeable about the food and drink menu. First class service. We enjoyed our food very much, the ambience was perfect for a lunchtime visit. The desserts were amazing, especially the chocolate mousse with cherries and almonds! Wish it was on the regular a la carte menu. Looking forward to a return visit very soon.

It is so disappointing eating at such a nice place such as (Café 21 - Fenwick) with an excellent reputation and then you being met by such dry & grumpy staff. We are not asking for a grinning ppl but at least welcoming staff. The youngest waitress was actually rude! when she served the coffee, she basically threw the cups on the table that it was so close to spill it before she turned and left. The four of us were just in shock that she had been this careless & sloppy. Food was excellent and we enjoyed it. Would we return again? No! For that reason, 3 stars is more than enough .

Outstanding service and best Sunday dinner in Newcastle

Terrific lunchtime menu, two courses for £22. The food and service was of a high standard and there was a good selection of drinks. I had the non-alcoholic craft beer. Perfect for a nice lunch when shopping or meeting friends.

We had afternoon tea to celebrate both our birthdays as a gift. The place is clean and sleek. The service was great, with very attentive waitresses. The food was what is expected - Fresh and tasty sandwiches and cakes. We could not finish all the scones, so we had a box to take them home with us. Really nice experience, really well worth it.

Everything was very good except all the sandwiches were verging on being stale and tasted cold as if they had been in storage. To pay £25 each we would expect them to freshly made. Cakes were very good as were the scones.
