Cook House
Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear
Now bedded in at Foundry Lane Studios (a series of spaces for creatives and artists), chef and food writer Anna Hedworth’s Cook House is growing by leaps and bounds. Spread over two floors, the new premises includes a deli and dining terrace, plus a little garden which supplies herbs for their growing list of soft drinks; there are also plans to keep bees on the roof. Anna has drafted in a team of chefs to run the kitchen (and the BBQ), while the expanded menu is a rolling roster of dishes inspired by British produce and the world larder. Any modern eatery worth its smoked salt must have kimchi on its menu (preferably made in-house) and this place is no exception. Otherwise, brunch means house granola, latkes, ‘nduja fried eggs on sourdough and other trendy nibbles, while lunch and dinner could usher in anything from spiced mutton spring rolls or chickpea and herb fritters with whipped ricotta to slow-roast pork shoulder chop with pear and Stilton crème fraîche. There are also sticky, treacly slow-roast short ribs with horseradish and butter bean mash for sharing, plus some exceedingly comforting puds including ginger cake with salted caramel and Calvados cream. World beers, kombucha and spritzes suit the on-trend minimalist setting, and there are plenty of intriguing, fashionable wines too.
