I’ll be honest, I’m feeling pretty pleased about this one. As I was sitting enjoying this fabulous meal at fairly new (when I visited last late 2021) @restaurantpine ,near Newcastle, back in November, I fired off a couple of messages to a couple of restaurant critics. I think that was the first time that I’ve done that as I imagine if you are @marinagpoloughlin or Grace Dent then you get every Trip Advisor restaurant ‘expert’ going sending you recommendations for the greatest meal they’ve ever had. “Chuckies’ chicken in Brockhurst is THE next Fat Duck”.
But I figured that as Pine was very new and not in London, that maybe it wasn’t on their foodie radar. It turned out it wasn’t, and Marina of the Sunday Times headed up there and loved it. A stellar review was published a couple of weeks later and she even gave me a little props on her Instagram. My work here is done. Unfortunately due to that review, I’ll never be able to get a seat at Pine again as I’m sure they will be fully booked for ever and ever. I am happy for them though. It’s nice when you can send someone to a restaurant that you really like and recommend, even nicer if, albeit indirectly, you can send a few hundred.
