Hop & Cleaver – Newcastle

Hop & Cleaver Review

After a post-work jaunt to Hop & Cleaver with the dudes I work with, I was on a mission to go back and take the husband. Thought I’d push the boat out and take him for lunch on Valentines Day. Romantic eh?

Tucked away down on the Quayside, the BBQ and brew bar now calls the old Offshore 44 building home.

River Bar – Fatfield, Washington

River Bar – Fatfield, Washington

Sitting gazing out of the windows of the River Bar, sipping a cocktail from a jam jar and tucking in to barbecued meat, you’d be excused for thinking you were sitting  in backwater USA. On the banks of the River Wear in Fatfield, the hottest place to be in Washington is bringing a laid back American smokehouse vibe to the North East.

Part of the Cairn Group colossus, the River Bar shares an impressive line up alongside Sohe, 97 & Social and Fiume, the Italian eatery that sits neatly above the Washington bar.
