MrJ and Will grabbed some lunch at COOP Chicken House. Thanks Will for doing a write-up for Scobberlotch! We planned on going to another Newcastle establishment this afternoon but unfortunately it was closed so we wandered round for a little bit before making an impromptu and spontaneous stop at COOP Chicken House on Collingwood Street.Continue reading “COOP Chicken House”
Revolution
I work just around the corner from Revolution in Newcastle, so when they got in touch and asked whether we wanted to try their new menu, I immediately said yes, and booked us a date for that week. I love the interior of Revolution. If it wasn’t a bar/restaurant it would make a great placeContinue reading “Revolution”
La Petite Creperie
UPDATE: La Petite Creperie is now closed in the Grainger Market. You’ll find them at the Newcastle Quayside Sunday Market, as well as pop-up street food events across the North East. We love La Petite Creperie – a delicious crepes and galettes shop in the Grainger Market run by two Julien and Fred. I wentContinue reading “La Petite Creperie”
Haveli
It was a cold, wet and windy evening as we drove to Haveli. To make it worse, traffic was terrible. I knew we were going to arrive later than our booked reservation. I gave them a quick call. A friendly voice greeted me on the other end and said “no problem”. When we arrived, theContinue reading “Haveli”
Allard’s Lounge
One thing I love about the blogsphere is that if you ask for recommendations, you get a ton! When I asked for suggestions for dining in Tynemouth, two fellow food bloggers Taste of the North and Sugar Rushed recommended the same place – Allard’s Lounge. Well, if both of them recommended it, it must beContinue reading “Allard’s Lounge”
The Living Room
I can’t believe that I’ve lived in Newcastle for so long and have never eaten at The Living Room. Needless to say, I loved it. We decided to go with another couple and take advantage of their Newcastle Restaurant Week offer a few weeks ago. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, not like today withContinue reading “The Living Room”
Eating in Chengdu, China
We were super excited when MrJ got accepted onto his Mandarin programme at Sichuan University and realised we were moving to Chengdu. However, I was also a little apprehensive as Chengdu is pretty-much the spice capital of China. I have such a low tolerance for spice and thought this was going to be really difficultContinue reading “Eating in Chengdu, China”
A note to our readers
Dear Readers, I want to let you guys into a little secret. We haven’t been living in Newcastle recently. In August 2013 we left the North-East to embark on a year abroad in Chengdu, China. Chengdu is located in south-west China and is home to 80% of the world’s pandas! MrJ studied Mandarin at Sichuan UniversityContinue reading “A note to our readers”
Tea & Cake Planet (EAT! Event Part 1)
I love the EAT! events held by NewcastleGateshead Initiative. They get better and better (and more delicious) every year. Tea & Cake Planet is a great foodie event happening this weekend (Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th of June) at the Boiler Shop in Newcastle. So what’s it all about? Basically, there will be stalls &Continue reading “Tea & Cake Planet (EAT! Event Part 1)”
Nexus River Trips
I found something really cool that I wanted to share with you all! I’ve been wanting to explore our local area more; not just foodie places, but also cultural events, historic sites, local community activities and more! And I stumbled across Nexus River Trips online. Have you heard of them before or been on oneContinue reading “Nexus River Trips”
