Afternoon Tea – Jesmond Dene House, Newcastle

Jesmond Dene House Afternoon Tea

Did you know that it is really hard to single handedly fill the boot of a Mercedes with massive helium balloons? Planning a small impromptu baby shower was hard work! This is how my first trip to Jesmond Dene House for Afternoon Tea began and thankfully it ended on a much less stressful note!

The Jolly Fisherman, Craster

The Jolly Fisherman Craster Review 2

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.

Fuego – Fenwicks, Newcastle

Fuego Fenwicks Newcastle

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.

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.
