This is the second exciting burger announcement I have brought you in May (Byron announcement here)! Hold on to your hats, Five Guys is heading our way to its new home in Intu Metrocentre.
Born in Washington D.C in 1986, the cult burger chain is already a big hit with 29 UK branches and over 1,000 US outlets.
The Metrocentre already has 2 dedicated burger restaurants so let’s hope there is room for another!
I was very kindly invited along to the launch of Manny’s Pizza Deli as they plan to bring New York pizza to the heart of Newcastle. Owner Olly Henderson is the man behind Capology, another Newcastle business, and soon plans to open the doors on two more Manny’s outlets.
If you can remember our first visit to St Mary’s Inn back at the end of 2014, you’ll remember us saying how much we wanted to stay over. Given the creepy nature of the property and fact the rooms look beautiful, we booked up to stay in February as a very much needed relaxing weekend.
Our room, Sweethope Loughs, was £90 for bed and breakfast for us both. When booking, I specifically asked for a view of the now derelict hospital. Pretty odd, yes, but we do love Urbex sites like 28dayslater.co.uk.
When Priya Mishra opened Angeethi less than two years ago in Low Fell, one thing was clear. She didn’t want the restaurant to go down the fusion cuisine route. Instead, traditional family dishes are served with skill and style by the highly experienced kitchen team with a nod to Indian street food.
Priya’s passion and enthusiasm for the food she presents is boundless and at the forefront is a strong desire to quash the belief that you can only eat curry after 5 pints of lager. This is the driving force behind the partnership with HB Clark wines and the Sommelier and Spice tasting evening. With Sommelier David Robertson on hand to curate a perfectly matched selection we were in for a treat.
