Gluten Free Dining in Newcastle/Gateshead/Durham
This has been a labour of love (and still is a work in progress), but on the blog is now an up-to-date gluten free guide for dining in Newcastle/Gateshead/Durham areas for 2019!

It’s salt, it’s fat, it’s everything bad for you,Continue reading “Kracklin, Newcastle”

I took along my trusty foodie friend and we settled down for a night of tapas and chat.

Smashburger
Is anyone else losing track of what new restaurants have opened in the Eldon Square or Metrocentre food courts? And with so many to choose from, sometimes it can be hard to decide which one is worth your time. We got invited along to Smashburger to try their burgers and popped in for lunch thisContinue reading “Smashburger”
