The all new glitzy glam Fenwicks Food Hall is a right posh affair. Boasting 3 restaurants, a cafe, a wine bar and a coffee bar, the new look layout is a playground for foodies so after spending a hell of a lot more than I intended to in there, we made our way to Fuego. An Italian focusing on pizzas and small plates.
Bit out of our stomping ground but as Paul’s Dad lives in Tynemouth, we made the trip North for a good old fashioned Sunday Roast at Barca.
Barca Art Bar & Restaurant is slap bang amongst the action in the middle of Front Street with a cosy, quirky bar downstairs and a more spacious and even quirkier dining room upstairs. With an obvious nod to the Art part of the name, the walls are lined with pieces from local artists both for display and sale.
Way back in the summer, we went to Kielder for the midnight stargazing session. Trying to find somewhere remotely close to the Observatory to eat was harder than we thought. Then we found the The Anglers Arms.
Do you have a foodie in your life to buy for but are stumped for Christmas?
We gave the Upton Cheyeny Chilli Company’s Make Your Own Chilli Sauce Kit (£29.99) from Firebox a go.
A couple of weeks ago, the kind folks at Brewer Fayre invited us along to check out their newly revamped Dunelm Ridge restaurant.
Thanks to the kids soft play area, it is somewhere very local that I have visited regularly with my friend and her children. Paul and I were keen to see what changes have been made as it is a mere 5 minutes across the fields from home to here.
Just off the main road in to Durham (A167) and next to the Arnison Centre retail park, it is a great place to stop for a post shopping pint or pub lunch. The added beer garden is a great bonus, even at this time of the year!
