George's Fish Shack | Newcastle | Review

We worked with George's Fish Shack on behalf of North East Family Fun in November 2022 but were under no obligation to share this post. This post has been published by Steve. 

We are very much a family of Seafood lovers and Fish n Chips is top of the list. Jack inparticular loves Fish n Chips and has it whenever he can. So we decided to take Jack to get his expert opinion to George's Fish Shack in Newcastle to try their Sunday Menu.

What’s On at Newcastle Theatres (January 2023)

Fancy a trip to the Theatre this month? Here's a look at what's on in January 2023. 

Theatre Royal

Cinderella; 2nd - 15th January

Panto superstar Danny Adams leads the cast in a brand-new production of Cinderella, with sets and costumes from The London Palladium.

Age Recommendation: This is a family show with a couple of scary moments, a bit of panto innuendo.

Victoria Tunnel Tour | What to Expect

 This post is based on a visit in March 2022. Please check the Victoria Tunnel website for up-to-date information when booking. 

Apologies for the quality of the photos in this post. I wasn't really concentrating on getting the best snaps as I was listening to the tour guides and didn't want to appear rude with my phone constantly out (plus wanted to concentrate) and obviously the lighting isn't the best down there. 

I have wanted to take a Victoria Tunnel Tour for ages. I actually booked for Mother's Day 2020 but cancelled due to the pandemic. I am so pleased I was able to rebook and finally experience a tour for my friend Chloe's birthday in March 2022. It was brilliant and I would highly recommend.

Rio Steakhouse (with Kids) | Newcastle Quayside | Review

This post is based on a visit in Februray 2022. Please check with venue direct for up-to-date info, menus and opening times when making plans. Reservations recommended but walk ins may be accommodated.  

The North East has seen a few Brazilian style steak restaurants pop up over the years and although popular, they never seem to last too long. Rio Steakhouse seems to have bucked that trend and received rave reviews when they opened in Jesmond and went onto expand into Newcastle and Middlesbrough with restaurants in Sunderland and Durham planned soon.
