Lunch and cocktails in Newcastle

So yesterday I met up with some friends to catch up over lunch and cocktails in Newcastle.

We went to Lola Jeans, a bar and restaurant, it was the first time that I'd ever been but I'd heard great things about it and it did not disappoint!

I decided to go with a healthier option, although the burgers and everything looked INSANE, I got a steak salad.

The steak was rare, which I had never tried before, but it was soooo tasty and tender! It also had tiny fried pieces of shallot in which I wasn't sure of but they were amazing too. 

To finish off, we had cocktails, we all had a rose petal cocktail each which came in tea cups and were soooo delicious!

If anyone is ever in Newcastle I would definitely recommend going to Lola Jeans!

You can find their menu and things on their Facebook page or on their website:

Tea in Shincliffe (Durham)

My Dad is going to be moving in with his girlfriend in Durham so he has been taking me and my brother through to explore more than just the picturesque centre. Last night he took us to 'The Rosetree Inn' in Shincliffe and with it being such a beautiful evening there were so many people out and about, it was really lovely.

If anyone is ever in Durham, I'd recommend taking time to go into the countryside, Shincliffe was beautiful and the Rosetree Inn was delicious!

I had a Baked Goats Cheese Salad and 2 big glasses of Rosé to wash it all down, overall a great evening catching up with my Dad.
