Snack at the White Hart

Saturday 30th July 2016

I am in London for a few days, yet again. We've been out today around Crystal Palace and called into the White Hart in the Triangle for a small snack. I recommend the squid with chilly sauce and lime.

Central Bar

Thursday 28th July 2016

It must be about 20 years since I was last in the Central Bar on Half Moon Lane in Gateshead. Back then it was arguably a place not to be visited too often. I was back there on Thursday for a leaving do. The party was in the private function suite on the top floor with a great view over the railway. Worth a visit.

The Tilley Stone

Wednesday 27th July 2016

I met up with some friends on Wednesday evening. The venue chosen was The Tilley Stone, a Wetherspoon's pub on Jackson Street, Gateshead. Pleasant enough but very busy for a Wednesday evening.

Northern Pride

Saturday 16th July 2016

Northern Pride took place in Newcastle and I joined the Parade from the Civic Centre to Exhibition Park.

Ernest Bar, Ouseburn

Thursday 16th June 2016

I had a meeting with various people at the Ernest Bar in Ouseburn, Newcastle. I'm not sure if this building has always been a bar but it is quite pleasant inside. Food was served up at the meeting. Assuming this was produced on the premises, it would be worth having a meal there. The food was slightly unusual but good quality.

Crystal Palace Market

Saturday 4th June 2016

Crystal Palace market was set up a couple of years ago and is going strongly. When in London on Saturdays, I tend to pop into the market to have a look around and maybe to buy something I need. This visit had another purpose. I produce preserves, honey, goats cheese and eggs and once we have gone through the registration and inspection process (for the dairy produce) we are looking for outlets to sell our goods. So this was also something of a scouting mission. Meanwhile, I recommend you pop in if you are in Crystal Palace.

Back to the White Hart

Friday 3rd June 2016

We spent most of the day at our flat at Crystal Palace but we decided to have a late lunch at the White Hart in the Triangle. I went for the burger this time. Richard had the fish and chips. London prices apply but still good quality.
