Say When was created with one simple idea. To bring something different to the North East.

What started in Gosforth quickly became more than just a wine bar. Within six months, we expanded to Ponteland thanks to the incredible support from our community and a belief that great hospitality deserves to be shared.

From your morning coffee to late-night glasses of wine, we’ve created spaces where everyone feels welcome. Atmosphere has always been at the heart of what we do. Warm, relaxed and effortlessly social. Whether you’re catching up with friends, celebrating a special occasion or simply stopping by for a glass after work, Say When is designed to make every visit memorable.

Our menu is centred around carefully curated small plates that are perfect for sharing, paired with thoughtful service that makes everyone feel at home.

At the heart of the experience is our self-service wine machine, home to 30 carefully selected wines from around the world. We wanted to take the intimidation out of wine and make it something everyone could enjoy. Whether you fancy a tasting pour, a glass or a bottle, you’re free to explore and discover new favourites at your own pace.

For us, Say When has never just been about serving food and wine. It’s about creating places where people come together, make memories and enjoy great hospitality. Whether you visit us in Gosforth or Ponteland, we hope every time you walk through our doors you feel like you’ve found your local.
