In an aim to bring you more reviews from Durham, we have upped our visits to cute country pubs…. And everyone loves a country pub lunch don’t they? The Punch Bowl in Satley is 5 minutes from the A68 and 15 minutes drive from Durham City. We live quite close to Satley and always drive through but haven’t visited so just before Christmas, we took the time to visit. The village is quite remote and rural so please do bare that in mind when you decide to visit!

Part of the Durham based dining chain Hollathans, Carlito’s Ristorante has taken up residence in a converted pub in Daisy Hill, bringing Italian food to the Durham countryside. In a village slap bang between Chester le Street and Durham, it remains a stones throw from other properties such as Hollathans in Chester le street and The Chester Moor which I reviewed HERE.
We recently paid visit to Bierrex which opened at the end of 2014. As part of the De Giorgi family empire, the hop and smoke venue is inhabiting the old Popolo premises on Pilgrim Street which is a handy walk away from the shops. It is in pleasant company along with the sister bars such as Dat Bar and it’s next door neighbours Alvinos and Paradiso. View Post
‘HERE I AM’
Fenwick of Bond Street launches ‘Here I Am’, a year–long campaign inspired by Jim Fenwick’s first words as he arrived on Bond Street in 1891
Here I Am, by Andrei Robu
Fenwick of Bond Street, which has retained its prominence on Bond Street for the fashion cognoscenti since opening in 1891, announces the launch of ‘Here I Am’, a year-long campaign inspired by the words JJ Fenwick (known as Jim) said after first arriving on Bond Street in 1891 to open his ground-breaking new concept (combining the selling of different goods in clearly defined departments under one roof), today known as a department store.
Here I Am’ heralds Jim Fenwick, one of England’s greatest retail pioneers as its muse. The campaign will celebrate Fenwick’s unique story by taking customers through a journey of unexpected collaborations that will be infused through Fenwick of Bond Street’s products, events, services and windows.
2015 marks the advent of a new era, and a new moment for Fenwick of Bond Street, as the retailer embarks on the next phase of its journey to become famous as London’s House of Style.
Paying homage to Jim Fenwick’s concept of collaborating with cool new artists of the day, Fenwick has invited artist Andrei Robu to illustrate the words ‘Here I Am’ through a series of art installations which will go live in the retailer’s iconic Bond Street windows in January 2015.
Also launching in January is Fenwick’s limited edition ‘Here I Am’ beauty bag. The exclusive cosmetics bag features 24 of the most sought after beauty products from brands including Eve Lom, Suqqu, Laura Mercier, Clarins and Chantecaille to help start the New Year with a beautiful glow. The beauty bag is worth £250, and will be offered complimentary whilst stocks last to customers who spend £200 in Fenwick of Bond Street’s beauty hall.
It’s that time of year. Once again Newcastle Restaurant Week is upon us!
