The Fat Butcher Steak House, Blyth

The Fat Butcher Steak House

Sitting unassumingly behind a butchers on the site of a former garage, The Fat Butcher Steak House is a recent addition to the Blyth area. A spin off from the large North East butcher chain, the restaurant ticks all the boxes for industrial, trendy bare bones décor in a former garage workshop. Can the food live up to the hype of being one of the newest steak houses in the region?

Managed by the crew behind the Sambucca restaurant in Durham, the Fat Butcher Steak House offers a relatively simply meat based menu. Steaks, Grills and burgers are the order of the day.

Yannis Greek Restaurant, Lanchester, Durham

Yannis Lanchester Review

If you wanted authentic taste of Greece, you’d not be expecting to head to Lanchester in County Durham. With the owners and staff holding on to their Greek roots, Yannis brings a dash of the Med without damaging your purse strings.

With a compact but mostly traditional menu, Yannis offers you an introduction to the Greek cuisine or a gentle reminder of summer holidays from yesteryear. This is a quick + simple review.

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.
