Insieme in Newcastle

 

Insieme is an Italian restaurant on Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne. We paid it a visit last week.

I was a bit disappointed with the starter - kalamari. It was a bit stringy.

My main course - steak in tomato sauce more than made up for the kalamari.

Dessert was a must-have!

Tanfield Railway - the video

 

Here's the video I filmed last week of our visit to the Tanfield Railway and fish and chips on the train.

Photos from the visit to the Tanfield Railway

 

Last weekend we paid a visit to the Tanfield Railway in Gateshead to enjoy fish and chips on the train. Here are a small number of photos I took during the ride.

The fish and chips lunch was organised by a company called Fox and Edwards. It's worth looking them up as they do similar events at heritage sites throughout the country.

Momos in Kings Cross

 

We were in London recently, staying in the Kings Cross area. After a bit of a search we found Momos where we turned up without a reservation. Although crowded, they still fitted us in. Being outdoors was helpful as we were experiencing the back end of a heatwave. First class Greek food. The photos speak for themselves.

Ravensworth Arms

 

The Ravensworth Arms is a pub/restaurant in the village of Lamesley in Gateshead, North East England. We had lunch there yesterday. It is worth a visit though it is busy and popular with older couples and funeral parties (at least when we were there!) A full menu for pub lunches is available.

There is a good area for sitting outdoors.

Borough Market

 

One of my favourite places to visit in London is Borough Market. If you love the sight and smell of good food, this is the place to be. To get there take the Tube to London Bridge. It's a couple of minutes' walk to get to the market.

National Liberal Club dining room

 

During one of our recent visits to London we were able to book a table in the dining room of the National Liberal Club. Fantastic food!
