The Brownie Bar, Chillingham Road.
The year has started and we’re trying to get motivated to do stuff (outside of the house). Weather-wise it’s not helping with the wind and chilly conditions, I’d prefer to sit in front of the TV. So as a compromise we popped out for a little snack on Chillingham Road. Chilli Road has so many…

Dobson & Parnell, Daily Set Menu
Friday at work my mind was drifting to a weekend of child-free fun. The girls were heading off with my parents to the Blackpool seaside for the weekend to ride the rollercoasters at the Pleasure Beach. I had a more relaxed weekend in mind. A nice meal out, long lie in, and some party planning…

Miller and Carter Fixed Price Lunch Special
The Kids had been lucky enough to be taken to Blackpool for the weekend by Catherine’s Parents. Or as I see it… We’d been lucky enough that Catherine’s parents had taken the kids away to Blackpool. Childfree for a full weekend! What were we going to do? Simple, go out and have 2 meals out…

Colmans Seafood Temple South Shields
We have been itching to go to Colmans Seafood Temple since it opened last Summer. Located in the iconic Ghandi’s temple (a former bandstand come public toilet!) near to Gypsy’s Green stadium, the finish line for the Great North Run. The Colmans’ brand is strong in South Shields dishing up fish and chips to South Shields…

Northumbrian Piper under New Management
We’d heard that the Northumbrian Piper had changed hands and were making changes. This was great news as we used to visit quite often, then it started to go downhill. It had got to a point that we used to visit mainly because of its handy location, not because of anything else. The food had…

Zucchini Pasta Bar Newcastle | Pasta Takeaway Near Me
I’d wanted to visit Zucchini Pasta Bar a few times since it first opened a year ago, but I never found the opportunity. The Newcastle Pasta Bar is located on what I call the Magic Roundabout, previously Swan House Roundabout, but also known as 55 degrees north. You will have driven past it 100 times. It…

Chilli Padi Newcastle – Why this is my favourite place!
Our venue of choice for tonight was Chilli Padi Newcastle. A Friday night in Newcastle without our kids is a rare treat. It’s not that often that Cat and I get to have a date night and tonight was it. We wanted to try out somewhere new, but relatively close to the Haymarket as we…

The Butterfly Cabinet Heaton Breakfast Review
For what seems to be 10 years we’ve driven past the Butterfly Cabinet Heaton and previously Belle and Herbs. Every time we went be there was a huge queue and we said: “we must try there one day”. It’s daft that it has taken so long to eventually getting around to it. Friends that have been had mentioned…

Scalini’s Gosforth Review
The last time we visited Scalini’s, Gosforth we had an… entertaining experience! As a result, it’s taken us nearly 2 years to return to give it another go. It’s a shame as it is literally 10 minutes walk from our house. I’ll explain our previous visit after our review Scalini’s Gosforth Review As part of…

Gosforth Palace / Poons Gosforth Review
Gosforth High Street offers a wealth of different restaurants. We’ve created a list and we’re trying to visit all Gosforth restaurants this year as a 2018 goal, starting with Gosforth Palace.. Gosforth Palace Located just up off Gosforth High Street on Salters Road, Gosforth Palace is hard to miss. Previously called Poons Gosforth, in the…
