The Northumberland Arms, Newcastle City

The Northumberland Arms recently asked me to capture imagery for a future advertising campaign. As Eldon Square is on the cusp of a refurbishment to help draw larger numbers of shoppers off Northumberland Street and into the shopping centre, it’s going to have a big effect on the local cosy pub thats situated underground. Whist the maintenance is underway my images will be used to inform shoppers the Northumberland Arms is still open for business.

Below I’ve selected a few photographs that I feel reflect the warm interior, friendly staff and their fantastic locally sourced & hearty food offering. Next time you’re in town get down there and treat yourself to a refreshing beverage and some home cooked treats!

Although The Northumberland Arms don’t as yet have a private website set up they are still featured on a few different online review sites, such as View Newcastle.

The Kings Arms, Heineken Pub Awards Finalist

Last month I was touring the UK photographing a mammoth 27 (yes…. TWENTY SEVEN!!) Heineken pubs for their annual awards ceremony. I could see immediately why this pub had been shortlisted as soon as I arrived.

It’s strength was in the Marketing category as owners Paul & Robert are super up to date with social networking, website presence and promoting their themed fancy dress nights. What a totally welcoming and cosy pub this is! It was a pleasure to arrive here one drizzly October day and Paul and Robert were extremely accommodating and friendly, clearly loved by the locals for offering fantastic food and coffee during the day and fun and frolics at night!

If you are in this neck of the woods please drop by, its really, really worth a visit; http://www.kingsarmssuttoncoldfield.co.uk/index.php/

Ernest Launch Night in the Ouseburn Newcastle

Yum Yum, well that pretty much sums up the interior, the food, the drinks and the delightful service from those fab folk at Ernest eatery in Newcastle. The launch night attracted those who were inquisitive and full of anticipation and tickets were limited. It was a relaxed and fun evening with a gorgeous spread of complimentary ‘tasters’ and beautiful cocktails amongst a comfortable interior that has a unique warm glow.

I captured the evening in a colourful style to reflect the atmosphere of the venue and various groups of happy guests. Its well worth a visit whether you are gagging for a coffee fix by day (fantastic coffee provided by the Ouseburn Coffee Company at http://ouseburncoffee.wordpress.com/) or a slap up meal in the eve (amazing chef Ross will delight your tastebuds!) you won’t be disappointed!

Heineken pubs in London, The Blacksmith & Toffeemaker

I was in London recently to shoot several pubs for Heineken’s pub company, S&NPC. I saw some fabulous interiors whilst there and great design ideas and furnishings for pubs, cafes and living spaces.

Here is the Blacksmith and Toffemaker in Angel, if any Londoners haven’t been, get down there for their fabulous food, lovely staff and a chilled vibe. For anyone nationwide, next time you are in the big smoke get on a tube to Angel and pay them a visit… its well worth it.
