The Best Places To Eat In Newcastle When You’re Broke AF

Thought being broke meant you couldn’t eat well? Think again! Newcastle is a haven for deliciously cheap food. So, there’s no reason to crack open another tin of beans tonight. It’s time to get your trainers on, grab an umbrella (it’s Newcastle after all), and treat your taste buds to something scrumptious. Here are the best places to eat in Newcastle when you’re broke AF!

1. Fat Hippo

If the prices were holding you back from visiting this Newcastle favourite, it’s time to make another visit. The Fat Hippo offers a lunch deal for five pounds. Five pounds. So whether it’s a peanut butter burger (yes, that is a thing), or a traditional burger in a bun, it’s time to get your sweatpants on.

2. Santana’s

Fancy Italian? Only have a fiver? Santana’s is for you. With a two course lunch deal on weekdays, you can bag a starter and any pizza or pasta for £4.95.

3. Eat For Less

The clue is in the name. Tuck into baguettes, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, and a queue that spans the length of Northumberland Street. And with £1.75 for a meal deal (baguette, fries and a drink), you can see why.

4. Sapori

A favourite with the locals, Sapori is a broke student’s dream. I’m talking delicious pizzas and pastas for a fiver, and the best tiramisu in the city. Don’t believe me? There’s only one way to find out.

5. McCrouzer Cafe

A two second walk from Sapori sits this little gem. Whether you fancy a small bite to eat, a full English, or a homemade curry, the McCrouzer has it all. Oh, and because it’s so cheap, it’s acceptable to have pudding, right?

6. Avoid Waitrose in Jesmond

We all know Waitrose is not ideal for a student budget. We all know Waitrose thinks caviar is an ‘essential’. Yet, so many students still end up shopping in the Jesmond store. Even pricier than your average Waitrose, this does not lead to a happy bank balance. Put the pink prosecco ice lollies down, turn around, and order your groceries online. You can thank me later.

7. Grainger Market

Filled with fruit stalls, butchers, and independent cafes, this is heaven for any broke student. Often cheaper than the supermarkets, by shopping here you’ll be supporting local businesses while saving cash. Win win!
