Wey aye, man! Welcome to Newcastle - famous for its iconic Tyne Bridge, historic castle, and buzzing Quayside. As one of the main hubs in the North East of England, Newcastle Central Station connects key routes on the East Coast Main Line, including London, Edinburgh, and beyond.
If you're heading through the station and need gluten free options, here's what to expect from the food outlets, shops, and nearby restaurants.
❗ Remember to always let your server know of your dietary requirements and that something labelled as ‘GF’ is not always safe for those with coeliac disease due to cooking methods and prep areas.
