The New Food Openings You Need to Know for October

All the latest from the North East and Yorkshire

Fuel’d
North Shields’ newest health kitchen and coffee house Fuel’d is serving up some seriously good macro-conscious food, from fresh granola bowls and protein bites to buddha bowls and matcha. Perfect for a guilt-free midweek pick me up, the coffee is seriously good here too.
Albion Road, North Shields NE30 2RJ
Amorino
Famous for its stunning rose-shaped ice creams, luxury ice cream parlour and café Amorino is preparing to open its first location in the North East (near Newcastle’s Grey’s Monument). Expect fabulous flavours like pear and hibiscus, pistachio, and tiramisu, as well crêpes, cakes and coffees.
124 Grainger Street, Newcastle NE1 5AF
The Tap on Bondgate
A pint-sized tap room has just welcomed guests for the first time in Darlington. The Tap on Bondgate has a hand-selected range to choose from, including real ales, craft ciders and continental lagers, and there’s even a small selection of gift sets to browse inside.
94 Bondgate, Darlington DL3 7JY
The Green Room
Newcastle Theatre Royal’s brand new bar, The Green Room, is now open for pre-show and interval drinks. Currently exclusively for theatre audiences, the expertly-curated menu has a great range of wines and spirits, and the bar opens one hour before performances begin, making it ideal for a pre-show tipple or two.
11 Market St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 6JN

Node
We’re always on the hunt for Yorkshire’s newest coffee shops, and Node in York is a brilliant new addition. Found inside Spark York, this speciality coffee house takes its brews seriously – pick up everything from your favourite classics to their popular espresso tonics for a midday pick me up (tonic water, ice, coffee and orange – who would’ve thought?).
17–21 Piccadilly, York YO1 9PB
Fold
A new focaccia-forward bakery has arrived in Leeds, from the same folks behind The Cheesy Living Co. Fold on Brussels Street is open each Saturday for a grab-and-go service, expect delicious and innovative bakes like focaccia jam donuts. There’ll also be plenty of fresh bread, bagels and other treats.
62 Brussels Street, Leeds LS9 8AB
The Yard Bar & Kitchen
Looking for a new weekend haunt? The Yard Bar & Kitchen in Ilkley is a lively new addition to the town. Their dog-friendly outside terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy the last of the summer sun with moreish bar bites, plenty of cocktails and a great range of beer on tap. Live music is often hosted inside and their bottomless brunches are already popular.
30A Brook Street, Ilkley LS29 8DE
