It's a pretty surreal scenario tbh. Up there for work, I'd already given them a few pub suggestions, but figured they might need a coffee shop that wasn't just a starbucks.

Dr Gloom 22142 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 This sounds pretty good, without being particularly vegan friendly https://amp.theguardian.com/food/2018/oct/21/trakol-gateshead-outrageously-good-restaurant-review-jay-rayner?CMP=twt_a-travel_b-gdntravel&__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10963 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Saw that, would have suggested they go down there for the Tap and the street food stuff but they were pretty adamant about staying pretty close to the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33821 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 One of Dave's friends wanders away from the group as they make their way to the recommended coffee shop and gets lost looking for the way back to the hotel..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Was at River Beat next to the old Baja Beach Club the other day. They do Asian tapas and Dim Sum as well as a few curries. Second time I've been and loved it both times. Also went to St Vincent during restaurant week last month and it was excellent. It's another small plates restaurant owned by Terry Labourne. Definitely one I'll visit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatonrifles 18 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Both Kiln and brinkburn brewery are good down the ouseburn. Cookhouse also nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Not been to Cookhouse myself and it gets very highly recommended by people but my mate went a couple of weeks ago and was very disappointed. Said it was just average. Thali Tray in Ouseburn is good too. Not sure I'd be heading there in this weather though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14045 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Crust Social in Tynemouth is top drawer for pizza. Doing takeout at the minute but the bases are outstanding and you can tell it’s all good quality ingredients. Was 20 quid for two pizzas and two bottles of lager on Saturday and I’m tempted again this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46016 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Anyone tried Flint on Chilly Road? Top notch pizza and a great online ordering system where you book a 15 minute collection slot. It's the new Cal's Own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
