If you’re always on the lookout for places to get stuck into the North East’s independent food and drink scene, head down to the coast for a unique venue that’s a foodie haven with a difference.
Tucked away in an unassuming warehouse right at the heart of North Shields Fish Quay is a lively venue which plays host to some of the best grub that the region has to offer on a monthly basis. Salt Market Social brings together street food stalls, craft beers and cocktails, switching up vendors so that each month's event offers a taste of different cuisines from around the world.
The latest offering on the first weekend in June saw four vendors take their place in the warehouse: Disco Burgers, Medhead, Baba Khass and Sachins, a typical assortment of what visitors can expect at a Salt Market Social. Disco Burgers offer patties and crispy fried chicken, Medhead serves up Mediterranean specials, Baba Khass specialises in kebabs, and Sachins dishes out curries.
