About

Block and Bottle is the UK's first dedicated free-range butcher and craft beer bottle shop in the Bridges Quarter, Gateshead and is the go to place for free range meat and craft beer in the North East.

Block & Bottle curated a shop brimming with exciting, locally sourced, free range, grass fed meats; tantalising hand-crafted charcuterie and mouth-watering craft beers for your delectation. Focusing on the fantastic North East and UK breweries, with a few additions from the rest of the world.

Block & Bottle offer all that you’d expect of a traditional high street butchery or beer bottle shop, with the welcome addition of draught beer for you to take home in growler bottles (reusable glass jugs for the ultimate take out craft beer experience). You can also find a unique and delicious range of charcuterie including, salami, chorizo, coppa ham, pancetta, guanciale, jerky, pepperettes and much, much more.

Meat | Beer | Life

We have a regular array of butchery classes, which offer you the opportunity to learn from Steven, the Master Butcher behind Block & Bottle. You can learn how to prepare beef, pork, lamb & poultry, or sausages & salami at the shop under the expert guidance of Steven. More details and dates can be found on Eventbrite.

As well as butchery classes we also hold meat & beer pairings, and beer launches on a regular basis - all our events, including Frame Dogs, our monthly film and hot dog collaboration with Arch Sixteen Café can be found on Facebook or Eventbrite.
