Cool Cat Cafe -New Castle Upon Tyne

This £6.5 m former Victorian flour mill was recently opened by children's laureate Jacqueline Wilson. And no doubt, after facing the media scrum eager to get a glimpse of Ronald Dahl and JK Rowling manuscripts, she would have headed to the Cool Cat Cafe for a Grobscottle. Swiggle, Sherbet Slurper or Oompa Loompa cocktail to steady her nerves. Sensibly, the menu is short and to the point (we're promised, not unlike Pinocchio's nose, that it will grow)-quiche and various stufed rolls (the smoked salmon with a liberal dousing of lemon and cracked black pepper hit the spot)with rather wicked cakes.But it's the kids who score here. With not a chip in sight, they can indulge in the Cool Cat platter- a face made from Marmite or peanut butter mini rolls, "slimy" apple slices, "wiggly" raisins, carrot stick insects and cherry tomato "eyeballs".
