Blackfriars launches new picnic service
 Blackfriars has launched a new picnic service for lovers of al fresco dining. The restaurant’s new picnic service gives customers the option of the Priests, Priory and Monks Picnic and prices start from £20 for two people. Everything is made-up to order using local produce and customers receive plates, cutlery and wine glasses (with choice of wine, Champagne or Beer) together with their own picnic blanket.
Although bookings are not required, Blackfriars encourages some notice to ensure sufficient time is given to prepare all the freshly made sandwiches and salads.

Blackfriars’ one of three top Newcastle restaurants

Don’t talk with your mouthful
We’re always willing to do a good turn here, so when longstanding Blackfriars fan, Simon Raybould of Curved Vision, asked us to plug his voice & presentation skills workshop, we were only to happy to help. He says "Knowing that the food is going to be at least as good as the training is a real advantage. Our clients need to be relaxed and enjoy themselves on our courses because making presentations and learning how to use your voice can be a bit scary otherwise." Apparently, these courses, called Telling People have become so popular they now have their own website where clients can see what they're getting before they sign up.
Chocolate, chocolate everywhere!
 Yes, it’s all in a day’s work for our chefs. In a recent Blackfriars and Café Peel team-building session, our chefs were asked to sit on a blind folded waiter/waitress who then had to make a selection of chocolate truffles, guided only by the mounted but straight-jacketed chef!
Bin bag overalls were issued but everyone still seemed to get head-to-toe in the chocolate!
