My wife and I had a wonderful meal here. Our stand out dish was in fact the chicken liver pate. But everything was lovely. From the service to the food and drinks, there was nothing to complain about. It was also a refreshing menu to come across.

I've been before for dinner and came back for lunch.

The menu is small plates. They recommend 2 or 3 dishes per person. Everything uses fresh and local ingredients and felt pretty healthy if that's what you're after in the new year.

- favourite dishes were pastrami on foccacia, brussel sprouts, oyster mushrooms and the chalk trout
- could take or leave the poached chicken salad, goat pie and smoked potatoes
- the butter with the bread was rock solid which was a bit disappointing

Came here with my parents to celebrate my graduation and had the nicest time! The food and drinks were both interesting and delicious, my favourites were the tempura cauliflower starter and the clarified Bloody Mary which was completly clear in colour! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great quality while pretty casual dinner.

Had a fantastic meal here for our Son's wedding breakfast. There was about 14 of us and we had the whole of the downstairs to ourselves. The food was excellent and service was quick and efficient. The drinks were well priced and the Ouseburn area is vibrant.

I have been to this lovely restaurant twice and so my photos were from both of the visits. First time I came was back in 2021 and the second time was last Saturday. Both times we came for dinner so can't comment on their daytime menu.

I was visiting my friend in Newcastle for the weekend and she recommended this place for us to try together as she had already been multiple times and had thought the food and overall experience was great. I know they were on the Michelin guide a few years in a roll so I was really looking forward to trying it out. My first time there was absolutely fantastic, great experience all the way from greeting at the reception to sitting down, ordering and paying. Staff members were very friendly and nice, took the time to explain the menu to us.

On the first visit, we had the shrimp salad as a starter and then for mains we ordered the lamb chop with cous cous and mussels with a side of potatoes. The salad was refreshing and a great way to stimulate our appetites. The lamb was absolutely fantastic, so savoury and not gamey at all.

Second visit we had the brown shrimp salad with blood orange which was once again super refreshing and stimulating. Mains we went with roast pork shoulder and braised is cheeks. The pork shoulder was absolutely delightful, crunchy crackling and tender meat. The apple sauce and potatoes were such a great complement to the meat and really pleasant. The ox cheeks were also soft and tender, particularly enjoyed the beetroot on the side with their dill pesto, so savoury. We enjoyed both but we agreed the pork was the highlight. For dessert we ordered the earl grey poached pear with chocolate and walnut ganache which was lovely. Such an interesting combination of flavours yet they somehow worked. That tea flavour coming through in your month balancing with the rich dark chocolate ganache made it so moreish and easy to eat. Absolutely not too sweet and it's just a light dessert to nicely wrap up our dinner.

On both times we thoroughly enjoyed our visits there and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good restaurants in Newcastle. They change menus regularly so you can always get excited for what they will cook on the day. I am already looking forward to coming back one day!
