Hidden gem alert in Whitley Bay 🍺✨

Spent the afternoon at Cafe Amsterdam. Dutch craft beer, window seats, and a relaxed local vibe that instantly makes you slow down.

Cold IPA, a snack of bittenballen, friendly faces, and an owner whose has a passion for Dutch craft beers and want to celebrate them.

It’s dog friendly, making it the perfect stop for a laid-back pint after a walk 🐾

Perfect for an easy pint, a chat, and watching the world go by.
Definitely one to save.

The Lock
Cafe Bar & Restaurant
is a lovely place!
We have just been for our breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it!
The young gentleman who is the front of host was very polite and welcoming and the Lady who served us was wonderful and helpful!
The place is well kept, clean and fresh.
We ordered:
1. Smashed avocado on toast with Greek feta, fresh chilli, spring onion and coriander.
2. The Lock’s full English breakfast. Which included; Cumbrian sausage, back bacon, Egg (cooked to your instructions) hash browns, Portobello mushroom, roasted tomato, beans, black pudding and whole grain seeded toast.
Verdict: They use good quality ingredients, the food was very fresh with generous portions!
The tomatoes were a bit watery, perhaps they could have been cooked longer, allowing them to caramelise.
The avocado toast had a great amount of chilli but there could have been half the amount of feta and that would have made it perfect!
Overall we would definitely recommend The Lock and we will definitely be visiting again!
✔️Lovely location
✔️Great quality ingredients
✔️Hospitality is on point

Reykjavik Winter Snow Storm
We Go stuck in Reykjavik as a Winter Snow Storm hit hard.
Our Trip to Iceland had us stranded in Reykjavik because of a snows storm. We planned to go and see all the wonders that Iceland has to offer but every trip was cancelled.
This is a guide on what to do in Reykjavik when Iceland craps on you…. and that is, drink a whole lot of alcohol and mix it up with the locals!
