yola good people...

In celebration of the Newcastle EAT festival, we have arranged a series of  'fringe events'.  We have tried hard to get a little flavor of as many cultural vibes as we can squeeze into our little place.  We hope that you will find something that will tickle you, and urge you to support us in our initial efforts at staging a fringe.  Please see the pictures on our myspace for details of the various events, contact us if you have any questions.  Get in quick, cos we  usually sell out  quick.

viva la fringe.

Best Afternoon Tea.

The 'Singin' Hinnie' showdown (at the Food Heroes Tasting Market.)

I am very pleased to say that we won both sections! hurray for us.. very pleased and were presented with a lovely engraved teapot and dinner at malmaison to celebrate! get in..
