The venue is situated on Gateshead’s quayside within a stone’s throw from the Swing Bridge allowing amazing riverside views of Newcastle’s iconic bridges from their beautiful terrace. River Beat specialises in award winning Asian tapas and curries in a quirky setting with relaxed fun vibes. I was lucky enough to try all the below dishes to get a great feel for variety of what they have to offer. The dishes were immense and with so many fresh flavours in each. I still honestly cannot decide which was my favourite! Thai Salmon fish cakes with sweet red chilli jam Tempura soft shelled crab with seaweed singer salad Char Sui Pork with green nasi goreng Malay lamb vindaloo with a dry coconut chutney Thai Jasmine rice Pork Prawn steamed dumplins with schezuan dip Asian spiced lamb with Chinese pancakes River beat offers an extremely enjoyable experience. They have clearly put a lot of effort into perfecting their selection of dishes and creating a great a welcoming environment to ensure you cannot wait for your next visit…my recommendation is to bring as many people with you when you do so you get to try as many dishes as possible !!

The interior of the restaurant is art inspired,spotless, warm and very comfortable seating. The Tapas/Menu and dishes were explained with such knowledge and WOW the food was out of this world. We can honestly say this is the best Asian inspired Tapas/food we have ever eaten. The spice and flavour combinations seemed so unique and cleverly thought out. Well done to the Head of House, Chef’s. Highly recommend! Was the perfect finishing touch following a lovely autumnal day at Beamish. Thanking all staff.

The food here is so good we had to come back. And it didn't disappoint. The Margarita's are fantastic also. Finally, the staff are lovely too. read more The food here is so good we had to come back. And it didn't disappoint. The Margarita's are fantastic also. Finally, the staff are lovely too.
