When confronted with choosing a place for dinner, it’s so easy to just end up at a chain restaurant – even if that wasn’t your intention! Why? They are reliable, there is usually something on the menu to please everyone, and they are everywhere. But we’re lucky in Newcastle to have lots of independent restaurantsContinue reading “5 Alternatives to Chain Restaurants in Newcastle”
The Pudding Parlour
I’ve drooled over the American-style desserts from The Pudding Parlour from afar… until now. I was eagerly telling my husband that they had opened up a new shop in my beloved Grainger Market, and how we needed to go ASAP. He asked some more questions about it, as he’d never heard of them, so IContinue reading “The Pudding Parlour”
Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill
We’ve loved the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse at Hotel Indigo for as long as this blog has been going. In fact, they were the first restaurant to ever approach us about doing a food review. (You can read it here if you like, now that’s digging way back into the archives of 2012!) So, when theyContinue reading “Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill”
Cabana
Cabana recently got in touch to invite us to try their new restaurant that has opened just next to The Gate in Newcastle. With new restaurants popping up all the time in the city centre, does this one stand out from the crowd? We were running soooooooooo late for our dinner reservation at 7pm. WeContinue reading “Cabana”
BALTIC Kitchen
One of my favourite things to do when it’s sunny is to go for a walk along the Quayside. Pair that with stopping for lunch somewhere and that’s the icing on the cake! We hadn’t been to the BALTIC in actual years, so decided to be cultured and view some of the exhibitions (and goContinue reading “BALTIC Kitchen”
Eats Lately [2]
We wrote our first ‘Eats Lately’ page not too long ago, and it went down quite well. So we’ve decided to do it again, sharing the food we’re grabbing on the go… Here’s a run-down of what we’ve been eating lately: The pineapple custard buns, egg custard tarts and glazed barbecue pork buns from Breadpoint.Continue reading “Eats Lately [2]”
St Sushi – Delivered
So, we know we’ve already written a blog post on St Sushi before, but we wanted to write another one about their takeaway service. It was a Saturday evening and pre-baby that meant 99% of the time that we’d be in a restaurant. We’re still getting to grips with Life With Baby and although weContinue reading “St Sushi – Delivered”
The Snow Goose
How nice has the weather been this week? (Although I’ve heard it’s not going to last… Nooooooo!) Anyway, my in-laws invited me and the baby for a walk along Sunderland seafront earlier this week. Sea air and sunshine, a perfect combination for me. After growing up in South Shields with a view of the seaContinue reading “The Snow Goose”
The Newcastle Cook Book
A little while ago we reviewed the ‘North’ version of The Street Food Cook Book, including a recipe for delicious crêpes (check it out if you haven’t already!). Well, we’re very happy that hot on the heels of that has followed a Newcastle Cook Book. We love the Newcastle food scene. There are new placesContinue reading “The Newcastle Cook Book”
Carter & Fitch, Washington
With a new baby, dining out is not as easy as it used to be (we have lots of eager family members wishing to babysit, but the separation anxiety is real!) But when Carter & Fitch got in touch about visiting their new restaurant which was just a stone’s throw from my parents’ home, weContinue reading “Carter & Fitch, Washington”
