Newy Food Adventures

Newy Food Adventures is an award-winning food tour experience based in Newcastle, offering small group walking food tours through the city's neighbourhoods.

You'll be welcomed into local venues, meet the people behind the food, and most importantly enjoy the food they're genuinely known for and proud to share.

For locals, it's a way to see familiar places in a different light or discover something new.

For visitors, whether you're here for a few days or just a day trip, it's a way to experience Newcastle through someone who lives and loves it.

You come for the food. You leave seeing Newcastle a little differently.

Tour Options

Come wander the harbourside streets of Wickham and Carrington with me, two of the five villages that make up Newcastle's Throsby precinct, and see them through their food. This award-winning, four-hour walking tour covers about 2.5km at a relaxed pace, and it's all about the people behind every bite. You'll meet the makers, hear their stories, and discover places you've probably walked past a hundred times. We start beside Newcastle's working harbour with two stops serving fresh local seafood, including a seafood plate paired with Indigenous flavours. Next, we step inside a hidden converted warehouse for locally roasted coffee and house-made gelato. Save room for dessert at a must-visit Japanese cheesecake and pancake café, then finish with a local winemaker or at Earp Distilling Co, Newcastle's family-owned craft distillery with roots dating back to 1883. Across five food stops, you'll enjoy generous serves of the dishes each venue is proud of, plus two drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). All dietary requirements can be catered for.

Explore Throsby: Maryville, Tighes Hill and Islington is an award-winning small-group walking food tour through three of Newcastle's most characterful inner-city neighbourhoods, led by a passionate local guide. The tour includes: five local food and drink stops with generous serves; two alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks; meeting the owners, chefs and makers behind each venue; local history and stories; and a four-hour guided walk of around 2.5 kilometres at a relaxed pace. Start with coffee and pastries at a community bakery tucked away in Maryville, known for its sustainable practices and delicious baked goods. Visit a heritage pub serving modern food from a renowned local chef, then drop into a local hidden gem with a cult-like following for its loaded cookies, cakes, slices and pastries. Then settle into what may be one of the last still-standing old-school Newcastle pubs, with all the charm of a country pub, just a tad more scrubbed up. Finish at a corner pub that has stood since 1890. It's still a noisy pub, just with a bit of French flair to the food. Groups are small, from two to twelve guests, and all dietary requirements can be catered for.
