Our Story

Honest cooking.
Brilliant produce.
Good company.

Ember was born from a simple idea — that British cooking, done well, is as exciting as anything in the world. We work with local farms, landed fish from the North East coast, and suppliers we've known for years to build menus that change with the seasons.

Head Chef James Whitfield trained in London and Paris before coming home to Newcastle. His food is grounded, generous, and never trying too hard.

The Ember Experience

Every visit remembered

🕯️
The Atmosphere
Warm lighting, stone walls, open kitchen. A room designed for long evenings, good wine, and conversation that goes on too late.
🍾
The Wine List
Over 80 bins from small producers, with an emphasis on natural and low-intervention wines. Our sommelier is always happy to guide you.
🌿
The Ingredients
95% of our produce is sourced within 100 miles of Newcastle. We name our farmers and fishmongers because we're proud of every relationship.

“The best meal we’ve had in Newcastle, full stop. The bone marrow starter alone was worth the trip. Faultless service, incredible wine list. We’ll be back next month.”
