Newcastle upon Tyne, Food and Drink Tour

Commencing at the Blackfriars Restaurant off Stowell Street, we sample some drinks and snacks from the pairing and flights menu. Blackfriars dates back to 1239, when it was a friary for the Dominicians. For the past 25 years it has been an award winning restaurant created by Andy Hook and Chris Wadale. It's menu reflects the past with a modern twist! Next I am taking you along Stowell Street to Rosies bar where we experience the spirit of a traditional Newcastle pub. We then proceed to the heart of Newcastle and explore Grainger Town. The Grainger market sells a wide range of food that originate from the North East as well as Italian, Greek and other international delicies. The market dates back to 1835 and has been revitilised as part of the Grainger town improvements. We then walk down Grey Street to the Riverside and explore the old and modern bars that also specialise in selling a wide range of food.
