Scratchleys Restaurant
Newcastle Harbour’s iconic and popular seafood restaurant
Donna & Neil Slater started Scratchleys with a lot of enthusiasm & very little money. We operated as a small BYO until 1999 when the building was transformed into a bonafide restaurant with a wine list boasting 200 wine varieties, floor to ceiling operable doors and many small but practical environmental initiatives
In 2016 we opened Battlesticks Bar to the western end of the building offering a superb cocktail list, amazing views, spectacular architecture, and great tapas style food.
We have endeavoured over our 30-year history to continuously improve the comfort & experience of our extremely loyal guests.
We have always been looking for ways to shrink our environmental footprint, recycling cardboard crushing, bottle crushing, plastic and meta separation since 1990. Utilising natural light & natural airflow by use of louvres the interior is very airy and takes in the natural beauty of the harbour. We use a Quantum Hot Water service to reduce energy usage.
We introduced 49.6 kW solar & DHS power controls plus many energy-saving appliances.
We regularly take TAFE students and excursions throughout the building to introduce them to our environmental practices and get them involved.
