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.
I’ve tried a fair few store bought versions and DIY recipes for Egg Nog over the years as the Husband loves it for a festive tipple but this is by far the best version yet!
Easily transferable from alcoholic to booze free, give it a try this Christmas as it is so easy!
3 extra brownie points if you can guess which film we are giving a nod to in the last photo!
As you probably already know, I write for a food magazine (Taste Magazine) as well as my weekly Food Friday features here on the website. As much as eating out is great and fun, it sometimes becomes a chore when you are trying to eat sensibly or follow a diet plan.
I dine out regularly as part of my work with Taste as well as client meals and work events let alone date nights with the husband. As much as I am always mindful and try to make a healthy choice, it can be damned hard, especially when your host or chef is watching over you wanting to get your reaction on a risotto with a life times supply of cheese or the triple cooked in beef fat fries. Thankfully I don’t have a sweet tooth but it’s hard to say no!
I know it’s something other people struggle with to, so the lovely Rebecca Moore has kindly given her suggestions on how to be healthier when dining out!
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.
Tucked away in the coastal village of Craster, The Jolly Fisherman draws customers from far and wide. A favourite spot with walkers and visitors to Dunstanburgh, the posh pub ticks all the right boxes.
Fighting howling gales and torrential rain, arriving at bang on 12, we were lucky enough to bag the last spot right in front of the pub. Given the grim New Years weather, we opted for a seat in the bar by the cosy roaring fire – something which would prove to be a hot commodity with all the drenched walkers.
