At the age of just 25, Newcastle chef Lawrence Norman has already spent a decade working in the hospitality industry.
In that time, he has honed his skills in many of Newcastle's much-loved eateries - from Jesmond restaurant, The Patricia, to burger specialist Meat:Stack. These days the Washington chef heads up the kitchen team at Horticulture, the Market Lane restaurant and bar owned by Mike Hesketh.
With his experience and connections across the North East's food scene, Lawrence knows the best places to eat and drink in the region. And now he has revealed his favourite restaurants and bars in Newcastle and the surrounding areas - and shared what makes them so special.
