They are made thin, similar to a crepe, but with the taste and texture of a pancake. They make both savory or sweet pancakes - with loads of varieties. And if you can't find something to your liking, they are willing to make a few changes to the items on their menu. This is a cute location, around the block from The Shambles, everyone here is friendly and helpful, the whole experience is delightful.

Been here twice for food. Once when busy, once when quiet. Although the food sounded good, was…read morelovingly presented, I found the chips to be quite possibly the worst I had ever had. It was obvious they had been cooked the day before and dropped in fat to reheat. Haddock goujons in a Tempura batter with Home-style chips is fish and chips no matter what you do to it. The fish was nice but the batter was too thick. On another visit I had a steak and onion sandwich which was nice except for the gristle. The prices are reasonable and the place is very tidy and clean. Nice place to eat in the Sun and take in the views.

Glad I booked…read moreas it was jam packed I headed to the bar to grab a drink whilst we waited for our table to be re-set. Only waiting ten minutes the waitress brought our cocktails up; mine a cosmopolitan and a elder-fizz or something to that effect! Served with a slice of orange (as to be expected) and a very fancy star shaped melon! After being seated up stairs on the meziene level we got started on our catch up - the last time we saw each other was back in March when we went to Berlin together! The waiter gave us enough time to decide having only come over twice we had just about narrowed down our tapas choices! (There is a main menu too should you want something a little more! We opted for 4 tapas plates; the tempura prawns, humous and pitta, meatballs and chorizo and hallomi. On our waiters recommendation we went for a fifth plate of patatas- bravas aioli. They all took a good 20-25 minutes to arrive which was idea for us as we followed our cocktails with a bottle of prosecco. On arrival we tucked in - my favourites being the hummus and the meatballs which came in a creamy tomato sauce topped with parmesan shavings. The garlic potatoes were also great however thankful I wasn't doing much the next day as my dad told me the garlic smell followed me around the next day... The only downside to our meal was being told the next covers had arrived so we needed to make a move. This was even before our plates had been cleared away and although I was told whilst booking over the phone I would have thought that we were allowed slightly longer given the fact we were in fact also seated slightly late. Nevertheless the meal was tasty and the wine was good no doubt I will be back next time I am visiting Newcastle!

Their menu has delicious items, including fresh juices, etc. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner which is pretty fab. Their cocktails looked amazing but we were there for breakfast so didn't indulge in those. I got their eggs benedict with a side of potatoes and oh my goodness, it was the dreamiest. I wanted to go back and get it again the next day but unfortunately other duties called. The service was so friendly and food is fresh. We would absolutely go back again on a future visit!

Middle of nowhere, casual dress, Michelin-starred…read more My husband and I went out of our way to eat and stay here. Was it worth the 3 hour journey from London (2-hr train ride, 1-hr by car) to make our reservation from 6-months earlier? Absolutely. Courses are small, but plenty. Staff are immensely courteous and thoughtful (they made a custom menu for our dietary needs and even had the chefs sign it before we left). And the setting couldn't be more idyllic. I'd suggest getting the wine pairing as it really completes the meal. Go ahead and stay the night as breakfast is included the next day. Just make sure to work out your travel from the train station to the restaurant. It really is out in the sticks.

Make sure to make a small detour to Kilburn to see The Kilburn White Horse which stands firmly in the hillside. The Black Swan is a beautiful picturesque old pub full of warmth and charm. Upon arrival you are welcomed into the bar area for aperitifs where a log fire crackles and glows. Make sure to notice the Robert Thompson mouse carved into the bar. Great selection of small batch gins - I enjoyed a glass of Sir Robin of Locksley from Sheffield with tonic. Amuse bouche are served here before moving upstairs to the restaurant. The Smoked Eel and Apple Tartlets were light and well balanced in their flavours whilst the Chicken Dumpling was rich, satisfying and would sit well on the finest of dim sum plates in Hong Kong. The restaurant is more modern in decoration with an "open kitchen" where some of the dishes are prepared with a clear artistic love and attention to detail. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Good selection of wines for most palates and wallets. I had the 10 course tasting menu which, at £85, felt like a bargain compared to the price of Michelin starred food in major cities. To start, a Mussel with Oyster Leaf canapé - so perfectly decorated that it felt wrong to eat it, but so tasty. Next up Langoustine with Caramelised Whey, served like a lollipop with a twig to hold it with - lovely textures and cooked to perfection. Venison Tartare followed - a small dish but rich in flavour and beautifully prepared and decorated. Sour Bread and Sour Butter was distinctive and a good filler in preparation for the main courses. The Monkfish with Asparagus and Onion, although delicious, was probably the weakest dish. The sauce tasted like heavy sweet soy sauce and was a bit overpowering in its saltiness for the delicate flavour of the fish. Still very enjoyable though. The Slowly Cooked Crapaudine Beetroot was the star of the menu. Cooked in beef fat (I believe), the beetroot takes on a heavier composition and is chewy and almost glutinous with all of the accompanying decorations providing broad and bold flavours. Absolutely fantastic! Scallop Cured with Rhubarb was another standout with the smoothness of the slightly charred scallops countering the tartness of the rhubarb, all tied together with a rich and balanced sauce. Herb-Fed Chicken with Wild Garlic from this Year and Last was another amazing creation with a blanket over the chicken in the form of a garlic leaf. The chicken was more warm than hot but extremely tasty. The first dessert was ice cream (or iced yoghurt?) Lollipops which were wonderfully innovative with their unique flavours. The Sheep's Milk with Douglas Fir Oil was also an memorable dessert with natural tastes of the season. The final dessert, served with coffee was Cake made from Artichoke, Chicory Root and Thyme. The combination worked well although the chicory root (?) was slightly bitter. A great end to a fantastic meal and experience. For most who visit The Black Swan at Oldstead, a significant journey will be involved but don't let that put you off...It's well worth the effort and will be one of those great food experiences.
