A Family Night at Newcastle Eagles
It’s amazing what can happen in a year. I’ve gone from a hater of sports to a lover of Basketball. Watching such a fast-paced game is entertaining and can be exhilarating. Over 2017 I think we have been to see 5 home games of Newcastle Eagles and every time we’ve seen them win. We’re sort of like…

Dosa Kitchen, Jesmond – South Indian Canteen
Sometimes the inspiration from a night outcomes from know where sometimes it right under your nose. We visited Dosa Kitchen in Jesmond on their opening night. I’d been working on the signs for the kitchen and it was only upon the day of installation that I thought we should try it out. Dosa Kitchen Jesmond Dosa…

The Bryherstones Sunday Lunch, Burniston
On our recent weekend in Scarborough, we headed to the Brytherstones Country Inn for Sunday lunch. My parents and Nana had come down to spend the day with us, so thought I’d better book somewhere in advance. Our first goto site was TripAdvisor and we were swamped with options. We’re always looking for somewhere new…

Hadrians Tipi, Newcastle 2017
Always looking for a new adventure we thought it would be fun to try out Hadrian’s Tipi, Newcastle on its opening weekend. Sure, if it’s just opened not many people will know about it! If we go around 5 pm on a Saturday night there’ll be loads of space and plenty of atmospheres! Or as it turned…

Patisserie Valerie, Durham
Last week my mind started to wander and I discussed the options for selecting delicious cakes as a treat. A quick google brought up Patisserie Valerie and I lost 5 minutes of my working day. Just to clarify the cake discussion was work banter. Would you eat a custard slice in public? Patisserie Valerie, Durham It…

The Seafood Social and Scarborough Market Hall
I’ve done Scarborough to death! Or at least I thought I had. A few years ago we used to head over there every 3 – 4 weeks. It was crazy the amount of miles we were clocking up. Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice break from home. After all the weekend visit’s it started…

Basilico Gosforth
Gosforth High Street has lots of restaurants, but one has been shrouded in mystery and we’d always passed it by. I only know two people that have been to Basilico and I felt it was time to give it a try. A quick look at the Basilico Menu by the front door and we were…

Sunday Lunch at the Astley Arms, Seaton Sluice
We have started on a mission now. Finding the North East’s Best Sunday Lunch. Who would have thought there was so much variety in the same set up of ingredients. Meat, Vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding, and gravy. Today we went back to a Carvery Lunch we used to go to a few years ago to see…

A Cheeky Zapatista!
We’d been invited to the Basketball Game as guests of Zapatista this Friday. For the past 39 years I really thought I didn’t like sports, but after watching 4 games with Newcastle Eagles, I think I’ve been converted. With tip off at 7:30pm we had a tight schedule with sorting out a meal. So, we…

Evan’s Bistro – A Family Sunday Lunch in Whitley Bay
We were looking for some where different to go for a Sunday roast dinner. For some reason we always seem to miss out the coast. Which is a shame as the Tynemouth Market, Fish Quay, Whitley Bay Sea Front, there is lots to do and you could easily fill in a day. Anyway, we had…
