There are only a few spaces left on our fermentation workshop. Book your ticket to avoid disappointment.

Add a bit of culture to your life, check out our funky fermenting event. 🥬🥕🥦🌶🍅

Our workshops are ‘hands on’! We provide everything you need to get started plus notes. This workshop will be an introduction to fermented veg & sauerkraut, how to make them and use them in your life. You get to take home everything you make. A light supper will be provided. Tickets are £40 per person and can be purchased through the link above. Please state ‘Fermentation Intro’ on the PayPal link.
Adding fermented foods to your diet can have a tremendous effect on your heal...th. You can empower yourself to look after your health and well being through diet in so many ways. We will encourage you to start small and gentle. By introducing one ferment at a time into your diet you’ve got a much better way of being able to assess how your digestive system responds/reacts. The health benefits of consuming ferments are ancient, many and varied. Including but not limited to boosting your immunity, reducing inflammation,assisting detoxification and reducing the risk of cancers. You can see why it’s becoming so popular. Our aim is to spread knowledge about the unique health properties of fermented foods, encourage and help other people to take control over their own health as part of the gut health awareness revolution going on in the world today. We will be running a series of healthy workshops over 2019, beginning with ‘an introduction to fermentation’.

What a little gem of a place....Tea for Two was amazing....Baked potatoes very yummy...staff were all great and wonderful sea views to be had.

We called in today for afternoon tea and all I can say is WOW!! Bacon and brie sandwiches, chicken, stuffing and cranberry, various DELICIOUS scones, jams, cream and traybakes...the most delicious afternoon tea I've ever had and that includes tea at the Merchant, an amazing little gem and we will be back!!

Was in for my first visit today. Was warmly greeted by fort of house staff and though we came in as a big party of 4 adults and 4 kids were accommodated immediately. The waiting staff were exceptionally good and the lady who I assume was the manageress excellent at their jobs. The menu was different but completely fulfilling. Thanks for a lovely meal and the kids loved the library and gnome bathroom.

Stopped off for coffee and scones this morning on a first visit to Olive Bizarre. Seriously can’t wait to go here for lunch. Amazing place, food and staff. Just loved it �

Really enjoyed my visit here, it's really quirky with good food and friendly service! Love the extra touches like the books and toys to keep my two year old occupied!

OMG I've just had the most amazing latte from you guys. And the cupcakes my friend and I loved them. They were so big too. And the customer service well a pardon the pun but it speaks for itself. Will be a regular from now on xx

Not to be missed just opposite harbour. Also try karma cola.

Lovely evening at the bistro. Food was amazing - lovely choice, lovely atmosphere and extremely friendly staff. Booked in for the next one before we left.

Lovely coffee shop - great food and coffee. The staff are so welcoming and helpful with the children too. It’s a must visit when we are in Newcastle!

Love this place...beautiful food, with a wonderful range of gluten free goodies. The staff are so friendly and helpful...and well you absolutely have to check out the toilet!!! :)

I visited the Olive Bizarre on Sunday for the second time. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We had to sit outside as we had our dog with us and one waitress brought him out fresh water. We ordered sandwiches and tea which were delicious. The cafe itself is very quirky and cute. I loved everything about this hidden gem in Newcastle.

I love this quirky wee cafe facing harbour in Newcastle Co Down. My friend Ruth & I have visited before and loved it, great cakes. Today's Ruth's lunch was soup & lovely bread finished off with Victoria sponge & hot chocolate. I had missed breakfast so had sausage, eggs & toast followed my sweet mince pie & cream. Great coffee. All lovely warm & beautifully presented. Worth a visit �

Had a lovely lunch food was outstanding and also the customer service was great we were even offered hot water bottles to keep us warm as we had been out on a long run beforehand and were freezing. Can’t wait to go back again.

First time I visited this lovely wee place this morning. Had a lovely coffee and a delicious custard tart (my fav) � great service, friendly staff and the cutest bathroom I ever did see � wil definately be back �

Best sandwich I've ever eaten (bacon, Brie and relish) full to the brim but not sloppy and packed with flavour and texture! Would prefer a cardboard takeaway box not polystyrene though please

A rare treasure nestled up Newcastle Harbour. The place is quirky, the food is delicious with many twists and the staff very accommodating. There is a wee library area for kids which my son loves. Even the toilet is magical.....check it out, you have to see to believe!

A cute and boutiquey cafe with amazingly delicious food!!!! Vegan Mexican wrap was unbelievable!!!! Nothing like tea in a good old fashion pot and hand knitted cosy!!! 5 stars!!

Sometimes it's not always about when someone gets it right that you should review, but when things don't go quite to plan. Had a lovely lunch here today, however there was a problem with one of the meals. The staff were lovely. They replaced the meal and couldn't have been sweeter. Great customer service is everything. Lovely place. Lovely staff. Lovely food.

Cracking wee spot with fabulous views. Great menu especially if you are Gluten intolerant/vegetarian/vegan. Caters for everyone. Attentive helpful staff and the bathroom deserves a visit. Will deffo be back when next in the area. It was busy which on a midweek April day speaks volumes.
