The best restaurants in North East

My HK friends wanted to try out this place and I was not disappointed! It is a hole in the wall sort of restaurant, most people eating are locals or workers getting a quick, cheap and easy meal during their lunchbreaks, but I can see why they'd choose this place! It's run by the family and everything feels very authentic and you can see them prepare your order right in front of you as there's no separation from the kitchen. Maybe some people would prefer something a bit more formal, but for a bunch of friends who were missing some good Cantonese food for not too expensive prices this was great. I got their HK milk tea which was deliciously refreshing and sweet, the market street platter and noodles with fried chicken. Their fried chicken is really great, captures that HK essence perfectly. The food here is not meant to be that special or unique, but it is the real deal. And all for super cheap too! I love this place and will definitely be returning when I come to Newcastle again, I recommend it to all my friends!

I’ve had the pleasure of tasting a few of the mouth watering treats for here. The jam and cream scones are gorgeous, so light and fluffy, and the cheese scones are rich and tasty. My personal favourite is biscoff and white chocolate cookie pie. Warmed in the microwave for a few seconds at home, with a cup of tea is my idea of heaven! The staff are fantastic and always go above and beyond. Well worth a trip. You will not be disappointed

The first bedroom when you go through the door is the best with some gorgeous artwork on the walls and some cool patterns on the back of the door. Always have a great time whenever I go and i always get served with such good quality fancy coffee. Nothing better.

What a hidden gem! Afternoon tea today at The Coppertree Cafe. Choice of 3 sandwiches, fruit scone or lemon and blueberry with clotted cream and jam, a cheese scone, steak or corned been pie or quiche, and a choice of freshly baked cakes! I went for lemon slice and Nutella cake. A macaron and unlimited tea and coffee. All of this for £12.50!!! Can’t believe theses lovely ladies bake everything fresh each day and they have only been open for 3 months. They also do a range of home cooked meals homemade broth, chicken curry etc! I would definitely recommend a visit!

First time in there, live local and it has not long been re-opened. The board outside with quiz night drew us in. We went in with average expectations but actually had a really good night. The food is pub grub, but it was nice, and plenty of it. The quiz was one of the best I have been to, and the quiz master was entertaining. Shame there was not many people in there, but I guess it is just a case of getting the word out that it is worth a visit. I don't often review places, but thought it well deserved one.

Spent a lovely Saturday here with work colleagues for the South Shields v Marine FC match. We had a prime table in the Shipley Lounge where we were feed, watered and got to watch the game from the comfort of some nice warm seats. The food was delicious, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the dauphinoise potatoes, little creamy dreams! Dessert was a winter comfort classic, bread and butter pudding with custard, which topped the meal off nicely. The service from all the staff was spot on, cheery and helpful and the fact the lads won just made the day even better! A fantastic day out at a great little club!

Venue was nice, tidy and a good atmosphere. Excellent choice of beers. Some very hard to find beers. Friendly staff. Good prices. Would come back.

Paseando por el mercado de Grainger el 30 de julio con mi hijo de 22 años, nos topamos con Dumpling & Bun. Nunca antes había comido ni albóndigas ni bollos. Mi hijo me persuadió para darles una oportunidad y yo los amaba absolutamente. Deliciosa y recién preparada.

La habitación estaba en el primer piso, pero un buen conjunto de escaleras con un gran pasamanos debe ayudar a subir a la habitación donde una gran variedad de tés le esperan. El menú de comida parecía atractivo también. El personal estaba bien informado y dispuesto a ayudar. Los tés se sirven en una tetera donde se prepara el té. Se suministra un temporizador de "huevo" para permitir la preparación correcta. Cuando se prepara el té se vierte en la jarra de servir y un matraz de agua caliente permite preparar una segunda olla. También se servían bolas de melón y uvas. El tipo de taza dependía de qué té se seleccionara. En resumen, una experiencia realmente increíble!

Best Greggs in Durham, really helpful and friendly staff, nothing is too much bother, shop is clean and tidy, and food is delish.

Amazing Cakes, Pies, Coffees and breads. Top quality Food. Highly recommended. Friendly Staff too. They sell lovely cheeses and Honey etc too.

Me and my friend stopped in for a milkshake and sorbet scoop. We could not believe how we had not gone before! The milkshake and sorbet was absolutely delicious, shop was clean and tidy and most notably the customer service was excellent. The price was more than reasonable and we will definitely be returning!

Absolutely lovely burgers , very tasty 😋 Juicy and one of the best I've ever had . Chips are nice and we choose the ones with the season. We also bought cheesecakes They were beautifully presented Strawberry cheesecake and Nutella cheesecake they were delicious. I would recommend

I was having a day out at Redcar and stumbled upon Russells on the sea front. I had Haddock and chips. They were freshly cooked while I waited. The BEST fish and chips I have had for years. The delightful couple who were serving - possibly Mr and Mrs Russell but don't wish to presume - were so friendly and obliging.
