Corn on the Cob
Out of all the food choice you can have, Pizza, Grill, Kebab, topped Hot Dogs, Paella, Gyros and many more offerings, the surprise hit at the Just So Festival for our kids was Corn! It’s not like they’ve never had it before, it could just be they’ve never had it like this before. The Corn stand…

Alan: Good Morning Sunday, What a beautiful morning to get up and about… Oh look it’s 6:45am… The perfect time to capture the day! Catherine (post Ladies Day): Urghhh! Be quiet… I’m stopping in bed all day… will you top up my water! It was a sunny Sunday morning and as we were still child free,…

Windermere Waters at Beamish
When I was a Disney obsessive! One of the things we used to really look forward to was the food and drinks at the theme parks. Believe it or not they serve more than Coke, Burgers and Chips. Sometimes these hidden details with in the shops become legendary, but until they are tested you’ll never…

The Botanist Newcastle
I was at a loose end and my mother offered to take us out for Sunday Lunch. So I decided we should try somewhere we’d never been. I was sick of going back to the same places like the Toby and Crowne Carvery. This time we’d take a risk and experience the unknown. Imogen was…

The Parlour at Blagdon – Afternoon Tea

I’d subtle dropped the hint at finding afternoon tea several times, but Catherine hadn’t caught it. So at Lunchtime on the Monday I pushed for Afternoon Tea anywhere. She rang…

Quay Ingredient
It was Lunchtime on Thursday of the School holidays and we were looking for a light snack / cake and some drinks, before we set off on our Banks of the Tyne Treasure Trail. We’d heard a lot about The Great British Cupcakery, so we headed over. People were spilling out on to the streets…

Taybarns – Gateshead
About 7 years ago my Mortgage Advisor mentioned this place that was the closest you’d find to an American Buffet. It took another 2 years before I actually went in. I’ve never really been one for All You Can Eat, but I wanted to try it. The Kids loved it and our friends from Great…
