We were so lucky to be invited to Ramada Encore Gateshead for a gorgeous dinner date. Just what we needed! This week has been so busy, for both of us, and we’ve felt like we’ve barely said anything other than a “hello” and “goodbye” as we ran out of the house on a morning/returned homeContinue reading “Ramada Encore Gateshead”

Eats Cafe
We love the Grainger Market. If you’ve never been before, we whole-heartedly recommend it! It really is a foodie heaven, what with Pet Lamb Patisserie and Pizza by the Slice, as well as The Health Box and loads of delis packed to the brim with interesting and unique products. I had a day off work,Continue reading “Eats Cafe”
Street Spice Food Festival
I love living in the North-East. You can drive for 15mins and be in a tearoom of a quaint farm shop, drinking steaming cups of cocoa and eating home-made bakewell slices. You can also walk around the city centre and find bustling market stalls selling fruit, cakes and meat for the fraction of prices youContinue reading “Street Spice Food Festival”
Hei Hei
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
