It’s that time of year again – the first Restaurant Week of the year.
Whether you want to try somewhere new or get a bargain at your usual haunt, now is the time to do it!
I think we are going to give Aveika and Lane 7 a whirl and probably Bierrex as the husband is a big fan!
I have included all of the deals below so click on and keep reading!
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.
After buying my Charlotte Tilbury goodies online from Selfridges for longer than I care to, we finally have a concession in Fenwick in Newcastle. At long last we can swatch before buying!
I have picked up a few new bits, mostly repurchases, to get me ready for autumn and winter.
You might even have some Charlotte Tilbury items without even knowing, Myface was a previous brand that was even available in Boots!
One thing that has always bothered me until very recently was the North East dining scene. Yes we do independent and awesome and we do it VERY well, but for the longest of time, hip and trendy ‘London’ based brands and chains wouldn’t set foot up North. This has changed and it has changed for the better now that Byron Burger has landed.
Byron has landed on Grey Street in a prime location right next to the Monument and most importantly – the giant screen showing the Rugby World Cup!
Tucked away on a rural working farm in rural Durham, Broom House Coffee Shop boasts a menu that is chock full of home cooked dishes and sweet treats made solely with ingredients from the farm.
