With many of us wanting to meet up with family members after months away from each other, there is no better place to meet up for a bite to eat than one of our region’s restaurants.
Here at the News & Star, we asked readers on both our Facebook and Twitter pages, to give their recommendations for the best places to head to in the county as pubs and restaurants begin to open their doors and gardens.
In no particular order, here are the best places, mentioned by you, our readers.
1 THE WILD OLIVE, GOSFORTH
The eatery, based at Croft Foot Cottage, serves up a range of traditional Italian cuisine and comes highly recommended by readers.
