George’s Great British Kitchen – Newcastle upon Tyne
Not sure if Newcastle is typical of other UK cities but there seems to be a boom in new restaurants opening. Slowly, but surely, we are making our way around the new Grey’s Quarter in Eldon Square. Being rubbish at planning ahead we have unsuccessfully attempted to secure a walk-up table at George’s Great British…

Vujon Indian Restaurant, Newcastle
We were losing a long standing member of staff at Hooper Signs. After around 12 years manning womanning the phones, dealing with accounts and the day to day running of the business. My sister in law had decided to try a new job nearer to home. I could see elements of the reason she wanted to…

Great British Cupcakery – Afternoon Tea

The design is eye-catching and we were hoping the interior would live up to our expectations! Gosforth High Street is quite a popular location for…

Newcastle Castle : The Gateway to Old Newcastle
Hard to believe that for my 34 years on this planet I’ve never visited Newcastle Castle. Must have walked or passed it on the Metro, heading into town hundred of times. Located high above the Quayside sandwiched between the High Level Bridge and main Railway line going into Central Station. The Newcastle Castle is very hard to miss!…

Eldon Bowl Newcastle – Bowling with Kids
The weekend was here and we didn’t have a plan for Saturday afternoon. Gloomy miserable weather was forecast so whatever we did had to be indoors. After asking our lovely facebook crew for recommendations of places to go bowling was suggested. Lane 7 had been the first bowling lane to spring to mind, we had been…

Turtle Bay Newcastle – Near the Gate
Turtle Bay Newcastle is located next to the Gate, as part of the Old Coop Building redevelopment. We’ve walked past here several times and last year popped in for some cocktails. This weekend we decided it was time to try the food. The kids were desperate to go to to Za Za Bazaar, so we managed…

Cal’s Own, Jesmond
In a previous incarnation, we’d been to Cal’s Own, but so far we’d not tried Cal’s Own, Jesmond. When in Heaton it was simply a great pizza place. Simple pizzas and a bring your own booze setup. I remember this for three reasons. Firstly it was Abigail’s Birthday and we had two giant pizzas, served to…
