As You Like It (Newcastle upon Tyne)

I have been to As You Like It a Number of times now and my opinion of it has changed for the better!! First time I went in I hated it but there defintely have been some changes for the better, to the menu and also the staff. The bar is quite unique in its decor its an eccletic mix of furniture and unlike it's neighbour Mr Lynch its not shabby!!! The food is on the expensive side however the quality of the food is very good. If you are looking for food in a hurry let the staff know otherwise you may wait a while. The drinks are also more expensive than some other places in Newcastle and you are looking at £3 a pint. During the day is ...  Read the complete review

We went to As you like it in November 07 for the first time and had a really great time. My son recommended it as he is local to Jesmond, otherwise as tourists we would never have known about it.

Once inside the restaurant/bar, impressions quickly change. ~~The restaurant/bar~~ There is a large entrance area, and anyone having made a ...  Read the complete review

After really looking forward to our Christmas meal here, we were all bitterly disappointed-the "5 course meal " was nothing short of appalling-with tiny portions of tasteless, inedbile food, the lamb being particularly fatty and over cooked. The apple tart tartan was a joke, served without any pastry even-just a spoonful of apple! The wine was over priced-for average chardonnay house wine; and the service very slow and snooty on the whole-a big let ...  Read the complete review

'As You Like It’ which opened at the start of 2007 is currently the hottest restaurant in Newcastle to visit. Described as a Gastro Pub and Terrace this beautifully fitted restaurant serves an interesting but typically English menu all organic and locally sourced. I have been lucky enough to visit twice recently. Once on a Saturday lunchtime and once on a Saturday evening (different weeks mind you!) It’s fair to say that my partner and I fell immediately in love with ‘As You Like It’ an experience that I imagine has been shared by many of the clientele. The décour of ‘As You Like It’ is the first thing to impress. It’s a surprisingly huge place ...  Read the complete review
