Bierrex, Newcastle

Bierrex, Newcastle

We recently paid visit to Bierrex which opened at the end of 2014. As part of the De Giorgi family empire, the hop and smoke venue is inhabiting  the old Popolo premises on Pilgrim Street which is a handy walk away from the shops. It is in pleasant company along with the sister bars such as Dat Bar and  it’s next door neighbours Alvinos and Paradiso. View Post

The Botanist, Newcastle

The Botanist, Newcastle

Last night, Mr T and I went along to the official launch of The Botanist but just before Christmas I paid a visit to The Botanist for a girly lunch and it was a sheer delight.

Taking up residence in the old Monument Mall food court, the space has been transformed in to a botanical garden (get it?) of wonder and amazement. As you enter the bar you are greeted by a huge tree filling the existing glass atrium, ringed by the well stocked bar. Dining is placed towards the front of the building with views out over Greys Monument and the surrounding shopping streets.

Lord Crewe Arms, Blanchland, Durham

Lord Crewe Arms, Blanchland, Durham

Today, I am going to share my visit to the Lord Crewe Arms pub and hotel in Blanchland. Situated a short hop from Derwent Reservoir in the Durham countryside, you may remember the name of the village from my review of the White Monk Tea Room.

After undergoing a huge £1.5m renovation, the Lord Crewe Arms re-opened in 2014 with a beautiful restaurant and luxurious rooms.
