The weeks leading up to Christmas were jam-packed with parties, social gatherings, church, musical events and lots lots more! One evening, when I got in from a busy day at work and we only had a couple of hours before heading out the doors again, we decided we needed some ‘us’ time. I checked ourContinue reading “Hei Hei”
Green Lane Fisheries
I love a good fish and chips. To me, there is nothing more satisfying than having a hot cardboard tray (or newspaper) filled with soft and salty chips, fresh white fish and a tremendous helping of batter – all doused in vinegar. Growing up in South Shields, I took for granted how amazing the fishContinue reading “Green Lane Fisheries”
Mainsgill Farm Shop
If you are ever on an adventure down the A66 I highly suggest stopping at Mainsgill Farm Shop. It may be located right next to a busy road, but it is far from the average, greasy roadside stop-off that you make! As soon as you turn off and head inside, you will feel a warm,Continue reading “Mainsgill Farm Shop”
Pots & Pancakes
After a busy week, and not much ‘us’ time – we decided to go on a breakfast date! After scouring the internet and twitter we settled on Pots & Pancakes (I will never say “no” to pancakes!) in North Shields. Pots & Pancakes do exactly what their name suggests – they sell delicious pancakes andContinue reading “Pots & Pancakes”
The Sage – Brasserie – Jazz Night
I’ve always wanted to go to The Sage for a meal. It is such an amazing venue with gorgeous views of the Quayside. When I heard that they were having a Jazz Night menu on Friday evenings for £12 for 2 courses or £15 for 3 courses, I jumped at the chance to go! WeContinue reading “The Sage – Brasserie – Jazz Night”
Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, Bar & Grill
We were so lucky to be invited to Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, for the best lunch of our lives! Affordable glamour. At first glance the phrase looks like an oxymoron, however let me assure you that it is not only possible, but a very real reality at Marco Pierre White’s Restaurant in Hotel Indigo. At just a oneContinue reading “Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, Bar & Grill”
Zapatista
Walking up Northumberland Street, it’s easy to spot many a bored looking student holding a sign for a business or restaurant that is “just round the corner”, “5 minutes walk” or “right down this ally way”. There’s so many, they’re far too easy to ignore as you dodge the endless stream of charity workers, politicalContinue reading “Zapatista”
Olive & Bean
I’ve been putting off writing this review for ages and ages. Why? Because this is my most favourite place to have lunch in the whole of Newcastle. I love Olive & Bean so much (SO MUCH) that I feel my writing will not be able to convey and describe the love and delight I takeContinue reading “Olive & Bean”
OrangeGrass
Do you want to eat delicious Thai food in an authentic setting? Yes? Then visit OrangeGrass! This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. My cousin (who brought this fantastic restaurant to my attention) asked me last week why my blog hadn’t feature OrangeGrass yet as it was definitely underrated. I knew that I had toContinue reading “OrangeGrass”
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”
