They have some great hand made produce and beer in there today, due to Jesmond market being cancelled.

Attended the Newcastle business awards 2016 and it was a really good function. The venue was really modern and well set out.
Very helpful staff.
Be warned the parking is not free. The signs are really small. Got a parking charge notice from them after a month never received a letter from them now I'm left to pay 160 fine
Let's start with the good stuff. It's clean, tidy and the staff are very helpful. Where it is let down is by the lack of investment in the building. I am sure when this was opened, I guess back in the late 90s, it was the height of sophistication. However, it is showing signs of lacking investment. Their idea of a whiteboard were two white sheets of plastic, like thick bin bags, slapped on the wall, held in place by static electricity. (Unsurprisingly, they fell off.) The whiteboard behind the flip chart looked like it had not been cleaned for years. Most modern conference facilities would provide an interactive television screen. Here, it was a very old, low resolution projector and a small screen. It was like trying to look through thick fog reading the screen, the edges were completely out of focus and the bulb was old so the projector not at all bright. Another ancient projector was delivered and that didn't start at all and the other two in the building were not working either. The furniture was okay, standard padded chairs that had signs of long use, and faux-pine topped tables. Some of the ceiling tiles were stained and some of the light fittings had tubes that were not working. The light buffet lunch was plentiful and tasty, but very wheat orientated, which was an issue for about a quarter of the people attending. The cafe no longer exists. It's not the worst place in the world, but it isn't stunning. A bit of investment targeted in the right places would bring this back up to a first class facility.
