The Forth Hotel, Newcastle

This is a real find. It was my first time in Newcastle, and I didn't like the look of the food in the hotel I was staying at, so I went for a walk and discovered this wonderful bar, where they served the most delicious asparagus soup. Being a girl on my own, I was a bit self-conscious about being in the pub and not knowing anyone, but the staff were so kind and welcoming to me, and kept on checking to make sure I was okay. It is a lovely place, and if I lived more local, it would become a second home. Thank you.
