Being the old corner pub in beachside Merewether, The Burwood Inn is home to Newcastle's best steak restaurant and a cosy, down to earth pub environment. Family owned and managed, The Burwood Inn was fully renovated and restored in 2011. Come for a drink, a bite to eat, or stay upstairs in our boutique pub rooms for the full Burwood experience.

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.
