“This place is a real gem, hidden behind the waterfront apartments. Nice decor, friendly service, reasonable prices, and tasty dishes make this restaurant a pleasurable place to visit. Try the Thai fried ice cream and the Moo Wharne, they are standouts.”

“I booked a table ahead for lunch and had a great spot next to the window with an amazing view. Truly a memorable spot for our daughters graduation lunch. Very helpful and friendly service with good insights into the meals on offer. We tried the seafood, which was very good value with fresh grilled fish, prawns, mussels, scallops, oysters and salad. Very enjoyable. Definitely recommended.”

Rascal is proudly Newcastle born and bred and we’re all about supporting our local suppliers and producers in and around the Hunter. Our burgers are made by passionate burger enthusiasts who will debate the place of a pickle ’til the cows come home. And we make stuff from scratch – right down to the seasoning on our fries- because we are perfectionists that will do anything in pursuit of burger excellence….. and a little bit of burger-related anarchy.

Positioned on the rooftop of one of Newcastle’s most iconic buildings, it’s hard to imagine a better vantage point of Newcastle’s harbour, coastline and beyond to Hunter Valley. Brandishing distinctly modern Australian cuisine, Roundhouse beats the drum for the region’s abundance of world-class produce with a proudly Novocastrian spirit. We believe in local, responsibly grown food with our chefs working in partnership with artisans, farmers and fisherman to present pared back dishes, free of pomp or pretension, that celebrate the beauty of the ingredients, fresh from the earth and sea…always with a little twinkle of surprise. One of life's great pleasures; the wine list showcases the incredible breadth of the region’s distinctive and innovative wines (after all, the region has more cellar doors than any other wine region in Australia) along with a reflection of the best wines of Australia. True to its Novocastrian roots, expect service that is warm, approachable and down-to-earth.

On the footpath that runs the entire length of the Newcastle Foreshore - from Nobbys Beach past Queens Wharf and through Honeysuckle to Wickham and the Carrington roundabout - Scratchleys On The Wharf have a take-away window for those who want to eat and run. Here, you will be able to order takeaway favourites such as fish 'n' chips, but of a quality not normally associated with such fare. If you're just looking for a cool treat, Scratchleys On The Wharf also have ice creams for the connoisseur, in such flavours as Rum & Raisin and Wildberry Sundae in traditional waffle cones. So next time you're enjoying the sun along Newcastle Harbour and start to feel a bit peckish, but don't want to take the time to enjoy a formal meal, grab a quick bite from the Scratchleys On The Wharf take away window and either enjoy on he grass watching the coal ships leaving port, or take a seat at one of our shady cafe tables and just relax watching the world go by.
