Border Minstrel

The Pub In The Park!

Steeped in history, the Border Minstrel pub is a contemporary gastropub nestled in the heart of High Gosforth Park, an area of 812 acres of woodland that also includes Newcastle Racecourse and Parklands Golf Course. Open 7 days a week, we showcase locally sourced produce from the North East of England and a range of drinks that includes a selection of traditional ales, craft beer and specially selected wines and spirits. We are dog friendly too.

History

Named in honour of the winner of the 1927 Pitman’s Derby, the Border Minstrel was originally the west pavilion of Brandling House. The stately home, initially known as Gosforth House was completed in 1764. It was designed by architect, James Paine and owned by local businessman, Charles Brandling.
