From bars to bistros, pub grub to fine dining, the North East's seemingly ever-expanding food and drink scene seems to have all tastes well catered for, and then some.
New restaurants and bars continue to open in and around Newcastle and competition is fierce among them for custom. Bottomless brunches have become huge in recent years and now it's unusual to find a venue that does not offer its own take on an event that offers as much drink - and food, although that tends to be a minor consideration for most - which can be packed into a one or two-hour session.
Where fizz was once the only bottomless brunch drink of choice there now exist cocktail options and beer. There are now themed brunches too with music that ramps up the party vibe. And, depending on mood and time of day, afternoon teas are equally popular in the region with options extending far beyond the traditional sandwich triangles and fruit scone.
