DOT BAGELS

The bagel is out of the bag!

One of HLN’s ultimate faves, Dot Bagels have just announced that they’re opening a new shop on Jesmond’s Acorn Road and are hoping to throw open their doors (COVID-allowing) in late March.

Having only set up their business during the first lockdown, with outposts in Heaton and in Newcastle’s Fenwick store, their latest expansion is perhaps the best testament to how beloved their little packets of bagelly goodness really are here in the North East.

We’ve already signed our x on the Dot line.

Since starting out in December, Ponteland’s newest neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar have only been able to offer takeaway orders to their customers – but if anything, that’s only been whetting our appetites more ahead of their to-be-confirmed (physical) opening date.

Head their way at lunchtime and you’ll find charcuterie, cheese and snacks on the menu to accompany their hella-extensive wine list (we’re talking everything from the classics to the crazies here), while their evening offering revolves around a regularly changing five-course fixed dinner menu promising to always showcase the very best ingredients available, sourced locally and sustainably.
