The bar downstairs has a wide selection of sofas and low tables, so plenty of chance to rest weary feet and chat.

As you like it Situated in Jesmond, a short car drive from the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, this is one of those places which I think you would have to know it was there; there is little chance that you would be passing, and so go in for a meal.

I have been lucky enough to visit twice recently. Once on a Saturday lunchtime and once on a Saturday evening (different weeks mind you!) It’s fair to say that my partner and I fell immediately in love with ‘As You Like It’ an experience that I imagine has been shared by many of the clientele. The décour of ‘As You Like It’ is the first thing to impress. It’s a surprisingly huge place ...
