Firework Displays in Newcastle 2021

Please remember times and events can change (especially as the weather does). Always double-check event details before heading out.

After last year's cancellations, I imagine fireworks events to be extremely popular and busy this year. If you fancy a ticketed event, I would recommend booking asap. 

For the purpose of this post, these events take place with 5/6 miles of Newcastle City Centre. For a more comprehensive list of displays across the whole of North East England, please check out this Fireworks Guide over on North East Family Fun.

Gino D'Acampo Newcastle Quayside | Menus & Review

This post first appeared on North East Family Fun in June 2021 and is based on a visit in June 2021. 

Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo has opened a restaurant on Newcastle Quayside. We popped along on a warm June evening to try it out and had a brilliant evening. What really stood out for us was the excellent quality of the food and the fantastic knowledgeable staff who knew their Italian food and the menu inside out. The views overlooking the quayside are absolutely perfect for people watching too.

Blackfriars Newcastle - Set Lunch Menu Review

 
Blackfriars in Newcastle is, in my opinion, one of the best value lunches in our city. I have visited a few times over the years and always leave feeling impressed and as if I have received good value for money. It is not somewhere for a cheap meal, but does provide excellent value. There's a difference.

This post is based on my most recent visit in September 2021. As always, make sure you check information direct with Blackfriars when making plans and menus and prices do change over time.

Branzino Newburn Review – A New Place to Dine on The Tyne

Today we have a guest post from Jaclyn who enjoyed a BARGAIN meal at Branzino in Newburn this summer. Over to Jaclyn......

Earlier this year Branzino, a new Italian restaurant, opened on the banks of the Tyne in Newburn.

Located just off Newburn Bridge, it has taken over the premises of the former Boathouse Pub. This is an ideal venue for people who want to ‘dine on the Tyne’, but without the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Hard Rock Cafe Vegan Menu Review

Today we have a review of Hard Rock Cafe in Newcastle by guest poster Nicola Lowery. This post focuses on their Vegan menu and is based on a visit in Summer 2021. Over to Nicola...... 

My husband and I have visited a few Hard Rock Cafes around the world so when we heard there was one opening in Newcastle we were quite excited! 

Andi has had an amazing vegan burger at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York so having a branch closer to home was brilliant news!
