In the North East we have a lot of very unique dishes.
00:06
You've got the stottie which for those who don't know is a round very dense bread and
00:11
what goes perfect on a stottie?
00:13
Peas pudding of course which is also a North East delicacy.
00:17
In the region you've also got a singing hinny which is a kind of griddle cake or a scone
00:23
that is usually found in the mining towns of Northumberland.
00:27
And if you go a bit further down the region you could even try a palmo which is a piece
00:33
of breaded chicken topped with white sauce and cheese.
00:37
Whilst all these foods are unique to the region many restaurants or takeaways include them
00:42
on their menu.
00:43
And with so many restaurants across the North East it can be hard just to pick one.
00:49
From chain restaurants to more local places for food the North East has a lot to offer.
00:54
But where do the public love best?
00:56
Well we took to the streets of Newcastle to find out people's favourite restaurant.
01:02
Now if you could pick a restaurant in the North East that you would recommend to someone
01:05
or somewhere that's like your favourite place to go and eat where would it be and why?
01:12
I think my favourite at the moment is the Eslington Villa in Lofell.
01:17
Just the food is fabulous and the service is great and it's a dead friendly place to
01:21
go to and that would be my favourite at the minute.
01:25
What kind of food do they have?
01:28
Good English grub really.
01:29
Yeah, yeah.
01:30
But a bit different.
01:31
A bit different.
01:32
Yeah.
01:33
I'm also asking people about your favourite restaurant in the North East.
01:39
Do you have one that you would either recommend to someone or one that you can pinpoint that's
01:43
your favourite?
01:44
If I told you the truth I don't eat out much at all.
01:47
We don't.
01:48
It's not something we do.
01:49
Particularly since lockdown I think.
01:50
Since 2020, 1920.
01:53
We haven't, we don't frequent them at all.
01:55
We do like an Indian.
01:57
We have quite local.
01:59
We try to support the local takeaways that you can walk to which is quite good, that
02:05
type of thing.
02:06
Support local but to be honest there isn't one I could recommend in Newcastle.
02:10
I have been to the Flower Cafe.
02:12
I was there which was nice.
02:14
Yeah, but no I'm not particularly a person who eats out a lot I'm afraid.
02:20
I'm asking people for your favourite restaurant if you were to recommend a restaurant anywhere
02:24
in the North East what one would you recommend and why?
02:28
I would recommend Malcalzone which is in Sandeford and Jesmond.
02:33
It's a family run business.
02:35
The food is amazing and it's really good quality.
02:39
What kind of food do they sell?
02:40
It's Italian food but they have a specials menu and it's really really good.
02:45
Well by the sounds of it, the people we spoke to love to stay local when it comes to restaurants
02:50
and food.
02:52
There seems to be a lot of support for local businesses or family run businesses up here
02:57
in the North East which must contribute to those who decide to eat locally.
