Situated in the North East of the United Kingdom, Tyneside has long been a hub of gastronomic delights, steeped in a unique history that leans heavily on its roots, yet also embraces modernism. This region, straddling the banks of the mighty River Tyne, is synonymous with the warmth of its natives, colloquially referred to as 'Geordies', and their hearty, robust cuisine that is as redolent and pervasive as the rich cultural tapestry the area is known for. Tyneside's restaurant scene is a fascinating potpourri of traditional and contemporary cuisine. Historically, the area has been famed for its bountiful seafood. With the North Sea on its doorstep, its gastronomic history is dominated by mouthwatering dishes like kippers from the fishing town of North Shields, or the exquisite Lindisfarne oysters. But journey inward, and you'd stumble upon timeless establishments offering pease pudding, or saveloy dips – a testament to Tyneside's affection for nostalgic, homegrown food. In recent years though, the food scene has witnessed a dynamic shift, with a proliferation of modern, sophisticated dining spaces serving up everything from gourmet vegetarian dishes, international cuisine, to innovative, reimagined renditions of classic Geordie dishes.
