Double Diner

You're walking up Jesmond Road past the usual parade of chain coffee shops and independent cafes when Double Diner catches your eye. It's exactly what it says on the tin: a diner doing American comfort food without any faffing about. The menu's straightforward—think proper burgers, loaded fries, classic milkshakes—but it's the execution that matters here. It's the kind of place where you nip in for a quick lunch or grab takeaway on your way home, and leave actually satisfied rather than feeling like you've compromised. Nothing fancy, just solid food done right at reasonable prices.
