A Thai restaurant in Newcastle offering dishes influenced by Bangkok's Bangrak district. The kitchen prepares individual dishes to order and can discuss how spicy you would like your meal.

Newcastle Castle's Halloween programme explores the people and stories behind its walls, including the city's witch trials.
