Thanks for all the information. ..sounds great!
I have a maybe strange request for any locals or people who know the city well.My partner claims that Newcastle is famous for pies (I think she saw it on a tv show) and wants to try one there.
Can anyone recommend a good place for a meat pie?
I'm not a massive fan of pies and personally think that Yorkshire is renowned for its Pork Pies, yet having said that this place gets good reviews :- Red House
If you want to eat on the move Greggs is ubiquitous (it originated a couple of miles away in Gosforth)and there will be other Bakers and Butchers producing their own varieties - no doubt with the word "Artisan" attached to their description. Try the Grainger market just off from Grey's monument as I seem to remember a few independent places in there.
Thanks for all the information everyone who contributed.....sounds like there is a lot to see.In fact I might just stay a couple of nights and go to Scotland later.....
Migh even be up there myself next weekend depending on whether we have guests staying sith us on Friday and Saturday.
Former Marillion frontman Fish is playing at the O2 Academy next Saturday night and the set will include the whole of the Misplaced Childhood album. And it's a standing venue rather than a seated concert hall...
Thanks for the help all...had a good time in Newcastle,saw and did lots of stuff.Baltic,Laing gallery,Bessie Surtees House....and lots of bridges.
Pies at the Red House are great! And I also liked the Crown Posada pub....
