The Funky Indian, Sunderland
The Funky Indian, is based next to the Winter Gardens in Sunderland town centre. We passed it on our Snowdog Trail in 2016. But Every time we walked passed the windows and peered in it looked empty. We’d heard good things about the place, but from the outside it looked like no one was home!…

Vapiano at Disneyland Paris has opened in the Disney Village
We hit lucky again, Vappianos have a NEW restaurant had opened at Disneyland Paris. I would have broken my neck to get an early opportunity to visit Vapiano, when I podcasted and blogged on DisneyBrit. Vapiano, Disney Village Vapiano is a new Italian restaurant with chains throughout the world, but this one was located in…

Zapatista’s Festive Burrito Filling at Ridley Place
We were getting into that Christmas spirit and while twisting tinsel onto the tree and cursing over broken fairy lights, we started to think about the Panto we were off to see at the Tyne Theatre (Beauty and the Beast). But then I started to think… food! Zapatista’s Festive Burrito We’re big Mexican food fans in…

The Days of the Raj – Gosforth
The Days of the Raj has had a restaurant in Gosforth (opposite Asda), for many years now. It is a sit-in restaurant but also serves up a takeaway. I’ve got to admit that I have had a love-hate relationship with the place. Last time I went to order the British meal of choice Chicken Tikka…

Viva Brazil – Birmingham
On a recent geocaching trip to Birmingham, we headed out into the town centre on a Saturday night. Not fully realising that it was the opening weekend for the German Christmas Market there. The Town centre was PACKED! I mean that with more capital letters than it is socially acceptable to use. Every bar we walked…

Pizzastorm – Greys Quarter, Newcastle
My eyes are opened nearly every time I go into Newcastle’s Town centre. Normally for good reasons. We’d headed into Eldon Square to get some new glasses. Don’t worry I did go to Spec Savers. Although I was surprised to see that Vision Express is next door with an almost identical glass shop front. Are…

Longhorns Jesmond
Everyone I know… I mean EVERYONE, seems to have gone to Longhorns Jesmond, yet it’s seemed to pass us by. I’ve driven past it several times and spied through the window in the Newcastle City Centre one a few times. The actual visit was inevitably going to happen, but when! Longhorns Jesmond It was the…

One of Disneyland Paris’ newest restaurants is based in the Walt Disney Studios Park. The restaurant is based upon where the animation Ratatouille left off. Rémy has his own restaurant and it cooking for you… his ratty chums! Before I step into the restaurant itself I just want to congratulate the Disney Imagineers for their…

The Blue Lagoon… Experience.
Yo Ho yo Ho a Pirates life for me! I’m not sure if I would want a pirates life as I’m too used to the home comforts of cleanliness, coffee and a memory foam mattress. I would deal with the eye patch, as a child the eye hospital made me wear a plaster on one…
