Elizabeth Carter, consultant editor of The Good Food Guide, says: “Dining in the North East is flourishing – an impressive number of new entries in The Good Food Guide 2012 sit alongside some great fine dining experiences and seasoned favourites, all contributing to a thriving culinary scene in the region.”
The guide contains a respectable seven entries for Northumberland, The Rat Inn, a new ‘Also Recommended’ replacing one from last year; nine entries for County Durham, including new entries The Bay Horse at Hurworth-on-Tees, The Raby Hunt and The Bridgewater Arms and 10 entries for Tyne and Wear, including Sky Apple Café, David Kennedy’s Food Social and stalwarts Fisherman’s Lodge and Jesmond Dene House.
