Part of Newcastle business centre. Great food cooked by Simon. We are regulars as we work at Technotub in the same building.

Finally got chance to call here after it was recommended by someone and gotta say I wasn’t disappointed, the bacon and egg stick was lovely and at a reasonable price of just £3, also a very nice feel to the place so wouldn’t mind having a meal and sitting in next time
