Why wait for next month’s national pie week? This week, you can have the full pie experience from the Schooner.
Choose from Leek and Potato in a cream sauce, Lamb with mint gravy, Chicken Vindaloo, or Lean steak and blue cheese. Any two with four pints of your choice of beer or cider for just £20.
All week. Free delivery as standard.
Breakfast Club will be live at the Schooner tonight at seven. The gig is ticket only and all tickets have been taken.
Space is very limited, with the stage area available only to ticket holders.
The pub and its customers cannot use the road area outside the pub due to a Gateshead Council prohibition order. We ask customers to respect this.
A lot of indoor tables have been booked. There will still be some space inside the pub, but when we’re full, we’ll be asking people to leave the area.
That doesn’t mean that everyone can’t enjoy the Breakfast Club. We still sell beer in containers to take away and we have a beautiful stretch of riverbank and a grassed area within a very short distance.
We don’t like to impose rules, but we do care about everyone’s safety. We also want to keep live music at the Schooner.
So we’ll keep things simple. If you don’t have a ticket for the band at the outdoor stage, or a seat indoors, we need you to use the Schooner’s lockdown unofficial beer garden. Not sure where that is? Just ask, or follow someone carrying a world famous Schooner milk bottle.
Help us keep live music at the Schooner by respecting our request.
We’re overwhelmed by the amount of support we’ve received from people far and wide.
Live music is as important to us as it is to you. We’re committed to having live gigs at least three days a week, subject to approval from Gateshead Council. We expect that decision today.
Our stage area has a capacity of around 66 with social distancing, possibly a little more, but we’re being cautious.
Gateshead Council have prevented us from using the outdoor space opposite the pub, traditionally used for seating and standing during gigs. The area is not considered to be ‘designated highway’, so we’re not able to take advantage of using that space any longer. We simply don’t have the pavement space that some bars and cafes are able to use.
So we ask that people don’t try to use the public highway by the pub. Acoustic Fridays aren’t ticketed, so are on a first come basis. All other gigs are, regrettably, ticket only.
During lockdown, many people used to buy takeaway food and beer to take to the banks of the Tyne. As we’ve recently been told by a (small) number of people, our gigs can be heard many miles away, so if you’d like to enjoy the music from the Schooner’s unofficial beer garden, we have some great beer in world famous Schooner milk bottles.
Why not try our great new beer, Noise Travels; it’s brewed specially for milk bottles.
Thanks again to everyone.
Well, our reopening weekend went really well. It was great to see both our valued regulars who’d stuck with our takeaway service and new customers who’ve discovered us during lockdown.
Without you, we wouldn’t still be here.
We’ll continue with takeaways, both food and drinks. Our new menu is available to eat in or take away.
The world famous Schooner two pint milk bottles are here to stay.
