Greggs Moment
If you’re from the North you will definitely know Greggs (maybe if you’re from the South, not so much) for it’s peach melbas, sausage rolls and stotties. Well, this time last year they opened up their first coffee shop called Greggs Moment on Northumberland Street in Newcastle. There was a big hoo-ha over it openingContinue reading “Greggs Moment”
Stairwayz Cafe
One day, I couldn’t be bothered to make lunch. That’s really lazy of me. However, MrJ suggested that we go to a cafe that he had seen on Low Fell high street. I declared to him that there was no little cafe there but he was adamant that he was right, so we went offContinue reading “Stairwayz Cafe”
The Handmade Cheesecake Company
We were delighted to have the privilege of receiving a cheesecake of our choice from The Handmade Cheesecake Company to taste, photograph and review for you! The Handmade Cheesecake Company was founded by sisters Frances Barron and Ellen McPherson in 2011, however their experience in making cakes goes back 10 years, when they started to make cakesContinue reading “The Handmade Cheesecake Company”
Minchella & Co
This place holds so many memories for me. I grew up in South Shields, next to a bed and breakfast and with a beautiful view of the north sea. I spent all my free time with my best friends and family at the beach, and after I had been sufficiently cold and wet in theContinue reading “Minchella & Co”
Hill Head Farm
Hill Head Farm is located on an amazingly named street – Lizard Lane – in Whitburn. It has the most gorgeous view I have ever seen, as it is set on a hill overlooking the sea, and the sea today was a host of different shades due to the stormy and rainy weather. Looking outContinue reading “Hill Head Farm”
Baileys of Alnwick
When we (me, MrJ and the in-laws) travelled to Alnwick Food Festival on Saturday, we arrived there a tad early. It was too early to start tucking into samples of sausages and renaissance pies, so instead we decided to warm ourselves up with a morning hot chocolate and some buttery crumpets to brace ourselves (andContinue reading “Baileys of Alnwick”
The Settle Down Cafe
Just off the Westgate Road in Newcastle, you can find a cafe that would not look out of place on the corner of a street in Brooklyn. Myself and Mrs J dodged into their doorway to get out of the cold and in doing so stumbled upon a coffee shop that gives off a vibeContinue reading “The Settle Down Cafe”
Alnwick Food Festival
On Saturday, me, MrJ and his parents trotted off bright and early to Alnwick Food Festival! MrJ’s folks love food markets and with over 50+ stalls of local produce available at Alnwick, we knew we were in for a food-filled day! The weather was fantastic, but cold. Bright blue skies were the perfect condition forContinue reading “Alnwick Food Festival”
Breadpoint
I found this chinese bakery on Thursday and actually squealed with delight when I saw it, as it reminded me so much of the chinese bakeries (中国菜) in Hong Kong. It had trays filled with sweet or savoury treats and you just use plastic white tongs to choose what you would like. What was gorgeousContinue reading “Breadpoint”
