With a love of all things macabre, tongue in cheek and historic there was no question that we would be going on the York Ghost Bus Tour on our recent visit to the city.
Having previously taken part in the Edinburgh Ghost Bus Tour and something similar in Dublin, we felt well prepared!
When the lovely folks over at the Copthorne Hotel on Newcastle’s Quayside got in touch and asked me to help them create a Bloggers Guide to Newcastle, I jumped at the chance. We were kindly sent off to review The Orchid* Chinese restaurant which is across the road from the hotel in an old Bonded Warehouse.
On entering, we were greeted with great customer service and beaming smiles whilst being shown to our table. With several seating areas throughout the restaurant as well as a private room, each table is afforded the relative luxury of being well spaced from their neighbour, a rarity in most restaurants it would seem. Chic contempory interior and well dressed staff exuded an air of class and quality.
