Lindisfarne Festival: 10 reasons why I’ll definitely be returning next year

Lindisfarne Festival: 10 reasons why I’ll definitely be returning next year

by EatTravelRaveRepeatAdmin | Sep 16, 2019 | Festivals, Rave

I’m not long back from Lindisfarne Festival, a brilliant 3-day end of summer blow out party on Beal Farm in Northumberland. It felt great to squeeze in a last HURRAH of the year in our old VW campervan, which was stranded down in Bristol for most of the summer after...

How to survive the Edinburgh Fringe Festival

by EatTravelRaveRepeatAdmin | Aug 13, 2019 | Festivals, Rave, UK, Uncategorized

I think it’s fair to say I’m obsessed with Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I’ve been every year for as long as I can remember as a punter and I’ve even worked at a few: wrangling street performers and managing out door stages. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is almost 4...

25 Festival essentials from a festival pro!

by EatTravelRaveRepeatAdmin | Jun 18, 2019 | Festivals, Rave

  It’s finally summer yaaaay, time to crack open the ice-cold fruity cider! Hopefully we can expect lots of warm summer days, BBQs, day trips to the beach AND plenty of festival fun. Last week I was interviewed on BBC Radio Newcastle giving advice on festival...

10 of the best bars in Newcastle

by EatTravelRaveRepeatAdmin | Apr 18, 2019 | Bars, Rave, UK, Weekend Breaks

I’ve been back living in Newcastle for over a year now, it was a bit of reverse culture shock after 6 months in Asia and 6 years in London. But once I got back into the swing of things I fell in love with this beautiful city all over again. I sometimes think it takes...

The ultimate 24 hr Edinburgh itinerary: eat, sleep, whisky, repeat

by EatTravelRaveRepeatAdmin | Apr 7, 2019 | Bars, Itineraries, Travel, UK, Weekend Breaks, World Food & Drink

This week I headed up to one of my favourite cities for a whistle stop tour. I was working in collaboration with Hotels.com to show you what to see/eat/drink around the fabulous city of Edinburgh. There is so much to see and do in the Burgh it can seem overwhelming,...

Instagram post 2158295086033588543_2881574844 This is exactly why I wanted to come to Lagos in Portugal, it has the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve 😍 You wouldn’t believe that just a few minutes earlier it had been lashing rain, and we were “forced” to take shelter in a beautiful seafood restaurant and drink wine until the storm passed! 😂
Instagram post 2139913206741609179_2881574844 I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty impressed with what they’ve done to Old Gotham, it’s hard to believe it’s the same boozer! We popped in for food and drinks before a gig at the arena and it was just the ticket. I had the chicken Caesar salad and I think it was probably the best one I’ve ever eaten with loads of lush pickled anchovies. Also, if you haven’t tried @tinyrebelbrewco jam doughnut yet, errr why not? It’s delicious 🍺
Instagram post 2131985521461941395_2881574844 Who would have thought just a couple of years ago that there would be such a sophisticated cocktail bar and restaurant on the Bigg Market in Newcastle?? I remember the days of necking Bacardi Breezers and cheap trebles in Blu Bambu 😂 and yet this whole area is going through a huge revival with a rebranding of “The Merchants Quarter” And to be honest I’m totally here for it! @hiboublanc_ncl is in a beautiful old building on the corner of High Bridge Street and Bigg Market, full of old school charm (wood panelling, marble, brass). They have a huge central bar plus a formal restaurant and a private dining room. We sampled a couple of their dishes from the bar snack menu: miso glazed pork skewers & salt beef croquettes, which were both seriously good. And a delicious rum/pineapple cocktail & punchy Malbec, perfect for date night ❤️
Instagram post 2126948190056972543_2881574844 Who doesn’t love a good Ruby Murray on a Friday night? This is a lamb Pathia made with tamarind and lime juice for a sweet and sour flavour and a chicken Handi; a traditional curry cooked on the bone with crushed poppadoms sprinkled over. And for me, you can’t have a curry without a Peshwari naan 😋😋👌🏼 what’s your go-to curry order?
Instagram post 2121960297970292380_2881574844 So today I was meant to be flying first class to Kuala Lumpur. We’d saved our air miles for years to get this trip of a life time. The plan was to fly to Jakarta and spend my birthday at the Grand Hyatt roof top bar then travel through java, Bali and Lombok over 4 weeks. However, we cancelled the trip because #adulting we’re buying a house by the coast and it’s taken a lot longer than expected ☹️ I’m sad about the trip (of course) but very happy about moving to the beach AND it’s also meant that we get a fun weekend at Lindisfarne Festival, which has been amazing! Silver lining n all that 👍🏻
Instagram post 2121181901367634123_2881574844 #throwbackthursday two years ago I was exploring Bali on my scooter. Visiting beaches, temples, markets and wizzing through rice paddies. I love the freedom that having your own wheels gives you. Especially somewhere like Bali where there’s so much to explore off the beaten path. By this point I’d been riding scooters all over south east Asia for 6 months, so was pretty confident, even in the chaotic streets around Kuta & Seminyak. But I’d had some proper comedy moments getting to grips with the bike, especially in Thailand 😂
Instagram post 2106727011463655240_2881574844 Had THE best time at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, even though it was just a very quick visit. I love the buzz of the city during the Fringe. The crazy shows, the street performers, the pop up venues and bars. If you haven’t been to Edinburgh during the Fringe yet, what are you waiting for? Get yourselves there! The festival runs until August 26th ✌🏼
Instagram post 2103706416572405348_2881574844 Beautiful York 😍 This weekend we travelled the length of the country to retrieve our campervan after it broke at Glastonbury! Randomly, it turned into an amazing little road trip with us having an overnight pit stop in York and it was the best decision ever. Wandering through all the cute little streets, eating amazing food (yes, including Yorkie puds) and drinking in just a few of the 365 pubs within the city walls 🍻 we enjoyed it so much we’re planning a proper weekend there ASAP. Where should we go next time? Would love some food & drink reccos
Instagram post 2096486143888517164_2881574844 My office is now officially too hot to work in. Floor to ceiling glass, no air con and fans are just circulating hot air 🔥 So I’ve brought my lap top to @stacknewcastle for a nice cool breeze and a spot of lunch @stixs_uk I usually go for their amazing ramen, but this time we ordered the spicy tuna Poké bowl, pork belly & rice and the pork and chicken katsu bao. Sooooo yummy
Instagram post 2092087823657196124_2881574844 @dojo_ncl in China town must have one of the biggest menus I’ve ever seen in my life. Hundreds of varieties of sushi, sashimi, curries, hot pots, gyoza, yakitori, ramens and more. Opted for the melting pork and spicy beef ramens last night and they were INCREDIBLE. I think this might be me new favourite Japanese restaurant 😋
Instagram post 2089274117005146067_2881574844 I think it’s so easy to overlook what the UK has to offer in terms of holidays. Especially with the draw of super cheap flights to Southern Europe and pretty much guaranteed warm weather. But a holiday at “home” can be just as relaxing/fun/beautiful as jetting off abroad. Weather it’s cities like Newcastle/Edinburgh/York or visiting the stunning coasts of Cornwall, Northumberland or Pembrokeshire. Or even camping in the rolling hills of Somerset and seeing this beaut like I did a couple of weeks ago. A UK break can be amazing, don’t ya think?
Instagram post 2088556096074676605_2881574844 What a belter of a weekend for the @mouthofthetynefestival 😎 loved all of the free entertainment on Front Street and the incorporation of the Classic VW show at the event. Just sad our little old bus couldn’t join in (still in the repair shop 😢) Never mind, had a brilliant time and the atmosphere all along the coast was epic. Can’t wait for next year now ✌🏼
