For nearly 100 years Sir John Fitzgerald’s unique and individual Real Ale and Great Food Pubs have provided a warm North East welcome to regulars and visitors in Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Whitley Bay and the coast. We also have our stylish and contemporary Café Royal restaurant in Newcastle.
Many of our pubs have become historic landmarks in the North East. Each of our pubs are unique and individual however they all have the unmistakable SJF mark of quality running throughout each and everyone. Our pubs are managed and run by staff who really care about providing exceptional quality and a warm, welcoming experience to all of our visitors.
Our wide range of exceptionally kept cask ale and excellent wines are just one of the reasons we regularly win awards. Many of our venues are voted as the most popular traditional pubs across the North East. We ensure our pubs are safe, friendly environments which provide great value for money.
Sir John Fitzgerald is still a family run business and we continue with the same passion for great beers, wines, whiskeys and high quality home cooked food. We ensure our visitors have the perfect pub experience and using the finest fresh ingredients sourced from across our wonderful North East region.
