Gosforth restaurant that hosted Newcastle United’s Eddie Howe launches Christmas menu after £7.5m revamp

Three Mile at Gosforth, Newcastle, this year unveiled a £7.5m transformation to create a state-of-the-art hotel, bar and restaurant.

Malhotra Group plc, owners of Three Mile, hope for the new development to make this Christmas a cracker at Great North Hotel.

The venue hosted Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe and coaching staff last week, following the former Bournemouth manager’s appointment as the Magpies’ head coach.

A December-only Christmas Fayre menu has been announced for festive diners and an all-out showcase is planned for Christmas Day.

From December 1 to 24 and Boxing Day also, customers are offered smoked salmon and prawn cocktail starters, roast pumpkin soup and chicken liver parfait, followed by a choice of main course roasts.

Turkey, beef and roast hake are all available, and a butternut squash and pearl spelt risotto option for vegetarians.

A traditional plum pudding with brandy sauce is available for dessert, as well as chocolate profiteroles,

Bailey’s crème brûlée and a vegan chocolate and orange torte.

The show-stopping Christmas Day menu features a four-course menu, with starters that include smoked chicken Caesar salad, a cured pavé of salmon, with beetroot, orange and horseradish cream and a game terrine with fig and liquorice chutney.

An intermediate course of pumpkin soup follows the starter.

For the main course, a traditional turkey roast will be served as a ballotine with roasted vegetables, potatoes and pigs in blankets.

Other options for the roast include roast rump of beef, roast cod loin and nut roast.

For dessert, a collection of Christmas classics are offered. Pudding with brandy sauce, chocolate truffle torte, sherry trifle cheesecake or a selection of festive cheeses are available.

The suite has a variety of packages available. A two-course menu priced at £25pp with prosecco included, or for £15pp a finger buffet is available, with a DJ providing disco and party games. These are not exclusive to Christmas Day and can be booked throughout December.

The Three Mile Christmas Day menu is priced at £70pp and the Christmas Fayre menu is priced at £24pp for two courses and £27pp for three.
