NE1 Cafe @ Stepney Bank Stables in Newcastle upon Tyne

Soooo tasty. I introduced my dad to avopoke while he was up visiting and he's still talking about it 6 months later. Really fresh and delicious.

Unfortunately Hoults Yard Landlord uses a parking management company that requires paying through parking via an app having attended a function and spending over 15 minutes trying to get the app to download and register the app failed to take the payment as the payment is not actually taken until leaving we have since found out and we have been hit with £100 parking fine. I managed to sort the parking fine. Please be aware the app is very problematic to use and double check to make sure the transaction has completed. A nice venue just be aware of the parking app issues.

This place just gets better and better. Have just had lunch here with a friend. We both agree this was the best lunch we've had in ages. All vegetarian. I had rainbow falafel salad with pomegranate and chilli dressing, she had a salad with halloumi. Both delicious. Mine was amazing. Gluten free bread was at least if not more delicious than the regular. Banana bread similarly lovely and very generous portion. Do note that the address is Windsor Terrace, and sometimes wrongly labelled Cafe 22, which was a previous incarnation and not a patch on this.

Food came out very slow and was also slow for the family before us. We were the only party in the resturant other than them. We asked to remove the service charge because of this and the host haggled with us for 2 minutes to keep it on saying no discounts. If service was good we would not have asked. You can't legally make people pay the service charge especially if the service was poor. It's not the money it's the principle. Additionally I ordered a meat noodle and it came meatless!

We ate in this lovely restaurant, the food was amazing and the staff was lovely. we had been working on the town moore for the celebrations and they even stayed open longer to accommodate us. couldn't recommend enough
