If you’re looking to kick your cooking skills up a notch, how about learning in one of Newcastle’s most ancient medieval buildings?
Blackfriars in the city centre, originally a 13th century friary with almost 800 years of history within its walls, now houses a popular restaurant - but you may not know that they also run a wide range of cookery classes.
While classes at Blackfriars have been running for over a decade, the variety now on offer is “far greater than ever before”, according to owner Andy Hook, and they now run on most evenings and weekends.
