Meat:Stack

About Meat:Stack

Meat:Stack grew from a street-food trailer into one of the city centre's most-loved independent burger operations, and its Groat Market site just off the Bigg Market is the flagship. The kitchen is known for dry-aged beef patties, properly melted cheese and a short, confident menu that keeps queues moving; the bacon cheeseburger and the loaded skin-on fries are the orders regulars swear by, and there are genuinely good chicken, veggie and vegan versions rather than afterthoughts. Weekend breakfast runs Friday to Sunday for anyone in early.

It trades as a fast, casual diner, so it suits both a sit-down feed and a grab-and-go collection, and it is well placed for the Bigg Market and Central Station crowd. Order at the counter for collection or use the delivery apps if you would rather eat at home. Portions are generous and prices sit in the mid-range for a proper independent burger, so it is better value than it first looks once you factor in the quality of the beef.

Best Takeaways in Newcastle City Centre

The centre's real takeaway strength is not the late-night strip but a cluster of proper independents, from cult burger joints to Vietnamese and vegan Indian street food, with a dependable kebab and a Chinatown-fringe Chinese for the rest.
