So, in no particular order, here is our definitive top seven…
FED’s Chicken
Based in the historic Grainger Market FED’s brings everything Chicken to the heart of Newcastle city centre. They’ve already featured in our ‘The Top Ten Burger Joints in Newcastle‘ blog. But there wings are something else, we just had to include them!
They also supply Louie’s Liquor Store with with their tasty offerings. They are even known to do an Unlimited Wings offer, if you are feeling super brave! Sunday – Thursday – 4pm – 9pm.
As wings go they hit the spot! Crispy, yet succulent. Great taste, award winning, grain fed, crispy fried chicken served up a smile. They care passionately about quality and only use chicken from Soanes family poultry farm in the Yorkshire Wolds. They sweet tea brine all their chicken, making it extra succulent and flavourful and perfectly seasoned throughout.
All of their sauces are designed and made in house. We particularly like their Korean BBQ sauce and just can’t get enough of it!
They have some fab deals on wings, such as their Wing Bucket with a huge 20 wings, fries and dip for just £20!!! Great to share, or not, for those wing warriors out there who can demolish that in one breath as their friends look on in horror.
They have a great range of classic sides available to compliment their creations. Their wings, cauli bombs and buffalo fries are all incredibly moreish. We’d definitely recommend trying these too!

Hen & Hops

Hen & Hops is a firm favourite for everything wings related. Bang in the city centre they are the brainchild of two cousins. Their chef has worked hard developing our top-secret recipes for the wing sauces, and they also feature collaborations with the amazing award winning Mr Vikki’s. For those who have not tried these they are a must! Our favourite is the ‘I’m a Banana‘. It is mindblowingly good.
The range of wings sauces available at Hen & Hops is huge, and there is definitely something for everyone. And for those who like a walk on the hot side there is ‘Nagaraja‘. Featuring Hot King Naga Suicide Sauce. For the most insane hot wings fans there is also ‘The Death Wing Ring Reaper‘. They only serve you one of these bad boys!!! Dusted with Mr Vikki’s Carolina Reaper Powder, it is not for the fainthearted.
They do some great sharer options, such as the Keg of Wings! 60 Wings (10 per flavour), a bucket of seasoned chips, coleslaw, BBQ beans and a jug of either curry sauce & chicken gravy.
They do the obligatory Wing Wednesday from 12pm. Only 50p per wing (minimum orders of 10 per flavour). But the great news is this offer is also available on a Friday too! They really do some of the best wings in Newcastle, and they are well worth a try.

Shearer’s Bar
Located at the Gallowgate End of St. James’ Park you could not get closer to the action! But these bad boys aren’t just for match day, you can grab a bite to eat here anytime. Available in sharers you can get 50% off Every Wednesday. Who doesn’t love a Wings Wednesday?
Shearer’s Bar offers three options of Salt and Pepper, Buffalo and BBQ Wings. They also have a great range of sides available to compliment the wings. No beans though! Alan Shearer famously revealed during his Blackburn days that he always ate “chicken and beans” before a game as a favoured lucky meal. We pretty sure he did’t meant wings but even still they’ve definitely missed a trick not having beans on as a side!
