A new chef at a North Tyneside community hub is shaking up the menu in a move set to please its regular customers.
Barista Boho in North Shields has appointed Paul Scott as its new head chef and, as he heads up the kitchen, he has plenty ideas of how to built upon its reputation. The community-focused café-bar in Saville Street, near the Fish Quay, is known for the likes of its barista coffee, craft beers and cool vibes but it is now keen to perk up business with a new menu and an upcoming programme of entertainment which could now cater for everything from cocktail masterclasses to music nights.
"Everything has changed," said a spokeswoman for the venue and the menu overhaul comes following feedback from its loyal customers. Paul, who has years of experience on the culinary scene, is launching dishes which include fresh and healthy options, such as small plates - offering the likes of calamari, halloumi chips, paprika prawns and Mongolian meatballs - and 'Buddha bowls': specially-created recipes of mixd salads, cous cous hummus and dressings with a a pick of smoked salmon, chicken or tofu.
