Empire

Empire is the signature dining room of the Royal Station Hotel, an iconic address in Newcastle City Centre where period grandeur meets modern ease.

Beneath high ceilings and elegant detailing, the mood is one of timeless sophistication tempered with relaxed comfort, ideal for lingering moments and polished suppers alike.

The kitchen leans into classic flavours with a cosmopolitan touch. Pizzas range from a faithful, basil-bright classic Margherita to the fiery Diavola. Smaller plates invite a leisurely pace: crisp onion rings with garlic mayo sit alongside Asian-style chicken wings glazed with a lively contrast of sweet and savoury.

Heartier courses deliver familiar pleasures with a refined edge. A caesar salad arrives with anchovy crumb and crunch, while glazed confit pork belly pairs with potato rösti, gravy and spinach. The signature aged rib-eye cheeseburger is served simply with french fries, with sides rounding things off neatly.

To finish, summer strawberry cheesecake or molten dark chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream offers a perfect finale.

Settle into the splendour, savour the classics, and let Empire do what it does best. Book in, take your time, and make a night of it - rule your evening with good taste!
