A lot of lip service is paid to the ongoing cost of living crisis, but at Bernie's Bar actions speak louder than words.
Patrick Fisher, Grace Tose and Kitt Nissen, the Newcastle bar's "founders", will be operating a "Kindness Kitchen" from the venue every Sunday in August which offers at-cost, cheap and hearty meals. People in need can simply turn up, eat in at Bernie's or take meals home to stock up the fridge for the following week.
