Eating out for My Grandmas Birthday

So last Tuesday me, my auntie and my grandma went out for lunch for my grandmas birthday and we were celebrating early as she was going away on holiday on her birthday. We met up in Newcastle and first had a drink in the Milecastle, we then had a little look around Newcastle then a slow walk down to the quayside and I  had forgotten how pretty it is, as I have been down there in a long time. We had decided that we were going for an Italian and decided on Uno's Trattoria. I hadn't been here in a long time and I have to say the food was really nice. The weather was also lovely so we ended up sitting outside and I also got a little bit of a sun tan which is very unlike me.

We all got starters and shared them, so we got potato skins, chicken wings and garlic bread and it was really nice. main course me and my auntie shared so we got a Pepperoni pizza and Cannelloni and I have so say it was really nice it is a long time since I have Italian. My grandma got the Mafiosa and really enjoyed it as well and we were all too full to even think about dessert.

It was a really nice day as I hadn't spent the day with my grandma and auntie in quite along time as finding time when we are all free can be quite difficult but we will have to start doing it more often as it is really nice.

Night out with the Family

 

So last Friday I went out with my family for a meal as my dad's parents were over from Spain and we hadn't seen them for awhile, my dad's brother also came down from Edinburgh, so it was a really good night out.

We first when for some drinks at the Town Wall and the bar was really nice but I have to say the did need more bar staff as two really wasn't enough, but it was nice to sit around and chat before we went for food, our table was booked at Ottoman for 8 although we didn't sit down until about half past as there was a mix up with put table, this is the third time I have eaten Turkish food and I have to say it really was amazing and it did remind me a lot of Red Mezza.

The food was really nice and we all enjoyed it, for starter me and Hayley shared a hot mixed mezza starter and for main I had the Lamb shish and I don't eat lamb very often as my mam doesn't really like it, and I was really but I couldn't finish it as there was a lot. For dessert we had baklava which has got to be one of my favourite desserts but I can never finish it.

The restaurant was really nice and the service was great and I would defiantly go there again and the location was great as well.
