Fat Hippo Durham Review

Fat Hippo Durham Review

Despite nagging the head honchos behind the Fat Hippo family to bring a restaurant to Durham, it has taken me a bloody long time to visit.  Adding a 3rd eatery to their roster, Fat Hippo Durham has taken up residence on Saddler Street which is fast becoming a mini-mecca for the Durham Foodie.

Chaophraya Newcastle Review

Sitting high above the City, Chaophraya is the jewel in the crown for the  new Eldon Square dining concept. As it’s namesake river, The Chao Phraya, works it way through the centre of Bangkok, the Newcastle version has settled nicely in to it’s new abode. We visited last week to check the views and most importantly the food so check out our Chaophraya Newcastle Review.

Designated Driver Scheme

Designated Driver Scheme Newcastle

At this time of year, being the designated driver can be both a blessing or a curse. Whether it is by necessity or choice, buying soft drinks, mocktails or alco free beers can all add up to just as an expensive night as one on the booze but you get the joy, usually, of ferrying your drunk mates home after the Christmas Party. Yay.

In a bid to drastically cut down the amount of drink drivers at this festive time of year, many City Centre bars are now adopting the Designated Driver scheme.
