The Fluid Group has been quietly and confidently raising the bar in the region’s hospitality industry over the last decade. The Newcastle-based company, headquarted over its ‘self titled’ pub on Gallowgate, combines design flair with an operational nous that’s brought  great success with venues such as Grey Street’s Barluga gastrobar and the Central Bean chain of coffee houses.

Last year, the firm opened Barluga Morpeth, a sister venue to its Newcastle site. Found in the stylish Sanderson Arcade, it’s a 120 cover, beautifully designed space that on first impressions, is certainly a worthy addition to the Group.

And Barluga Morpeth seems to be a hit with locals, as on our Friday lunchtime visit, the place was buzzing with families, couples and business folk.

The interior is a sight to behold: huge cabinets are stacked with jars of colourful herbs and spices, wines and champagnes, an ode to bouillabaisse reaches up on a giant pillar from the ground to mezzanine floor, clock faces showing the time in Edinburgh, Bruges and Seattle are projected on to a wall space. Even the old fashioned light bulbs demand attention.

Like its sister venue further south, Barluga Morpeth’s menu is diverse and intriguing (the clock faces hint at its multi-national nature).

You can indulge in taster plates (£8.95 for a small plate, £15.95 to go large) such as the New Yorker (chef’s homemade meatloaf, salami, dill pickle, coleslaw, roast turkey breast, sun dried tomatoes, olives and bread) or take a world tour with the main menu, where you’ll find the likes of moroccan vegetable tagine, lightly spiced quinoa and harissa yoghurt (£11.95), mussels classic, thai, or spanish chorizo served with thick home cut chips, or classic french fries (£7.45) and the Barluga 8oz Aberdeen Angus burger, served with thick home cut chips, or classic french fries (£9.45).

I ordered from the seasonal menu, where the likes of smoked chicken with chicory, walnut and blue cheese salad (£5.95) for starter and slow cooked Ingram Valley lamb, wild garlic, served with bubble and squeak (£14.95) were on offer.

My starter of pork and truffle sausage roll, with brown sauce and endive salad (£3.95) was slightly disappointing, but only because the tangy sauce proved overwhelming. Perhaps a smaller drizzle or separate pot of sauce would have worked better.

However, my main course was truly sensational, a wonderfully fragrant dish of market fish (on our visit, haddock) with crayfish and herb butter, served with aura potatoes (£9.95).

Superbly cooked, it served up a wonderful medley of flavours, and the fish was obviously of a high quality.

My companion, who opted for the main menu, was absolutely delighted with his choices: a starter of sesame and soy cured salmon, coriander crème fraiche and dill croutons  (£6.75) and pan fried north sea cod, with soft herb crust, tomato fondue, silver skin onions and olive oil crushed heritage potatoes (£13.50), which I must admit, had also caught my eye.

Sticking with the seasonal menu, I concluded my meal with a delicious, homely carrot cake served with a generous dollop of orange mascarpone (£4.50) while my colleague couldn’t stop himself indulging in the dark chocolate and cherry tart, with mascarpone (£5.95) and then singing its praises to our waitress.

Service was friendly, efficient and quick throughout – despite the large influx of diners – and the venue was a pleasure to dine in.

Though Morpeth’s centre may have taken a hit from its recent roadwork problems, this didn’t seem to have affected Barluga, which has given the attractive market town a further boost. And it’s proof once again that The Fluid Group sets new standards, rather than simply going with the flow.

Barluga, Morpeth, Northumberland

BARLUGA is a stylish gem of a find in Morpeth, Northumberland. We’d heard promising things about this new restaurant/café/bar from friends living in the vicinity and were keen to give it a whirl.

It’s the sister establishment to Barluga in Newcastle city centre, part of the Fluid group, but has a very different feel.

We liked the Morpeth laid-back but stylish vibe much better. We felt very comfortable as a family popping in for a casual lunch.

I could also see myself dropping in for a coffee and cake with girlfriends or a glass of rose after hitting the shops in the stylish Sanderson Arcade.

The emphasis in Morpeth seems to be more on the food and deli style offerings, and less on the drinking side.

They even sell their own brand oils and chutneys and deli produce – and very tasty they all looked on the counter display.

It was fantastically hot and sunny (for March!) the Saturday lunchtime we popped in. We’d allowed extra time for the nightmarish one-way traffic system still in operation, but really traffic kept moving, so that wasn’t a problem.

It was lovely and cool inside and it had all the feel of an upmarket New York deli. Shoppers were enjoying casual lunches and coffees downstairs where the deli produce is on sale, and there is seating for about 20.

We headed upstairs where it seats another 100. We liked its style, the pared-back décor, the comfy leather seats, wooden floors and large windows overlooking the street. We were particularly taken by the giant double-height ceiling, huge display of bottles along one wall, and the clocks projected on to the wall, showing times in Edinburgh, Seattle and Bruges.

Our waiter, a chatty young chap, told us it used to be a social club and has been open since November.

Clearly, there has been no expense spared on the revamp.

Our spot on the mezzanine floor had a great view over diners downstairs. Although I hear they are making some slight changes to the building this week, so it’s more of a bar downstairs but the restaurant remains the same upstairs.

I sipped a rose, a Californian white Zinfandel, £3.90, the other half had a bottled Peroni, £3.10, and the daughter, who turned a teenager that day, an Appletiser, £1.70. Her catchphrase, now she’s turned a teen, is “I’ve got the right to be ragey!”

Well, we hoped the food didn’t disappoint.

It offers everything from breakfasts, sandwiches and deli-style platters and a seasonal market menu.

My starter of baked Camembert with caramelised red onion chutney, and assorted breads, £8.95, was delicious.

The cheese, still in its balsa wood case, was warm with a chalky rind and just-right claggy interior, and came with a rosemary garnish. It was served with a mound of slices of warm, crusty white bread and sliced baguette.

It was a decadent treat and all three of us dipped in. The home-made chutney was exceptional, too, a sweet and tangy touch.

The other half dived in to his starter portion of mussels, prepared with a creamy, white wine sauce, and served with crusty bread, £4.95. The mussels were sweet, but a bit on the small side, the creamy broth lovely for dipping the bread into. A decent size portion, it made a lovely appetiser.

Soup of the day, butternut squash and carrot, with garnish of oil, £4.25, came with slices of good white crusty bread.

It was a diminutive bowlful, which suited our little one who was saving herself for a giant burger. It was smooth, flavoursome, with a spicy kick, and described as ‘a hug in a bowl’.

Hubby and I were in snacky mode and it was too warm for a heavy lunch, so the taster plates from the deli menu looked ideal.

My Northumbrian platter, £8.95, served up on a wooden board was a medley of local ham, Northumbrian nettle cheese, Keen’s cheddar, pickled silverskins, coleslaw, smoked salmon, pease pudding, caramelised red onion chutney (as before) and two hunks of excellent focaccia, peppered with rosemary and tomato morsels.

It was delicious, a lovely pick and mix kind of dish, perfect for when you fancy a bit of everything. Although the focaccia was moist and very tasty, I would have preferred some plain bread, too, to pile on the wonderful mild Keen’s Cheddar and creamy, smooth nettle cheese. The ham was delicious, the coleslaw pretty boring.

Across the table, the New Yorker platter, also £8.95, consisted of chef’s homemade meatloaf, salami, dill pickle, coleslaw, roast turkey breast, sun-dried tomatoes, and green and black olives, also with focaccia bread.

The meats were good, the beef meatloaf, like a pate, but with a coarser texture, and a perky herby flavour, the olives encased in a salami ‘basket’, the sun-dried tomatoes full of sweet and tangy flavour.

Daughter’s Barluga 8oz Aberdeen Angus burger, with her choice of classic French fries, £9.45, was not cheap, but then it was no ordinary burger.

It was a substantial piece of meat, excellent quality, and completely cooked through, encased in a floury white bap with melted cheese topping, red onions, tomato and gherkin, plus a salad garnish. Let’s just say there were no complaints. I tasted the beef myself – and it was really very good.

Daughter still had room for a dessert so finished off with lemon posset with honey crème fraiche and biscuit, £5.25. This is a family fave – I use food writer Jane Lovett’s recipe – but this one was sadly disappointing. It was served up in a glass with a dusting of popping candy. The dessert itself had a lovely lemon flavour but was too runny – it just simply hadn’t set. The waiter did offer to replace it but we were just about finished.

The lightweight parents couldn’t handle full desserts but the coffee and mini sweet treats did appeal. We had Central Bean coffees (the coffee houses are also part of the Fluid group) with three petit fours, £4.95, and a mini chocolate and walnut brownie, £4.95. The petit fours were overly-sweet, enough to set the teeth on edge, and my brownie was slightly dried out. But the coffee was excellent and we drained every last drop of the cafetiere.

Barluga is a very welcome addition to the Morpeth gastro scene.

Barluga Deli, Sanderson Arcade, Morpeth, Tel: 01670 505000

VARIETY, they say, is the spice of life … and you get oodles of it at this recently opened bar restaurant. Not only do you have the menu proper, you also have a seasonal selection which changes monthly, taster plates and a deli assortment to check out too.

It seemed only right to mix and match our dishes to sample as much from the menu as possible.

You will be familiar with the name Barluga as it has been one of Newcastle’s most popular bar restaurants on Grey Street for years now.

Barluga Deli, which opened in November, should prove just as popular judging from our experience there.

It is in the Sanderson Arcade which oozes style, sassiness and charm.

Occupying two floors, with 120 covers, it is large but has been tastefully decked out and certainly has that Barluga feel about it.

Assistant manager Michael looked after us superbly throughout the evening, but all staff were exceptionally friendly and chatty … a good start.

We were seated upstairs in a corner table that boasted comfy leather seats next to a wonderful “clocks of the world” projection which fills one of the stair walls.

First up was the choice of wine. I decided on a Gavi de Gavi which had a wonderfully dry finish to it.

For starters I could not choose between the seared scallops on spiced cauliflower puree with an Asian pear and shisho salad and the mussels.

Michael told me both dishes were superb but his personal favourite was mussels. That sorted I then had to choose between classic, Thai or Spanish chorizo.

Again it was over to Michael who convinced me if I liked spicy food then the Thai was the one for me.

Great choice. The mussels (£4.45) were delicious and the Thai sauce certainly was spicy but complemented the shellfish terrifically.

Included were several large chunks of bread which came in handy to lap up that hot sauce.

Fusspot had a trickier decision to make.

The “chickentarian” decided to go veggie proper this night and could not make a decision. I suggested he try out the padron peppers fried in olive oil and salt (£5.95) which came under the deli sharers section of the menu.

When they arrived it was easy to see why they were meant to share, there were heaps of them.

He managed to polish the lot off – bar the one I tried – and enjoyed every mouthful.

The peppers were sprinkled with manchego shavings and the salt added that extra something to the overall taste. It was unusual but extremely tasty at the same time.

By the time you read this, there will be a new seasonal menu in place for March.

We were there just earlier this week, but as it was February, the menu will have changed a little.

I couldn’t resist the Northumbrian beef (£16.25) which was braised in red wine, baby onions, mushrooms and pancetta, along with some mashed potato.

The taste was rich as can be, and all the better for it. The beef was to die for and the accompaniments simply perfect. I also ordered some seasonal vegetables which were cooked al dente but to be honest they weren’t really needed.

If I’m honest, the menu is slightly lacking on the veggie options and a wider choice would have been preferred. Fusspot felt he might have to go down the chicken route but both myself and Michael convinced him to give the vegetarian lasagne a go.

This is something he steers clear of most of the time as he believes a veggie lasagne is somewhat bog-standard.

How far from the truth he was as this lasagne of French wild mushrooms (£12.95) was as far removed from standard as you could get.

Perfectly layered it came served in a vegetable and mushroom cream and white truffle oil.

The pasta sheets had a somewhat al dente texture to them which made the dish better. Chunky chips were also ordered, but like my greens, weren’t really needed.

For dessert I enjoyed an assortment of cheese and biscuits while Fusspot had three scoops of pistachio ice-cream. A top-notch meal from start to finish that neither of us could fault.

As the website says it certainly is an imaginative menu created by Barluga Newcastle’s head chef David Blackhall, freshly prepared on site in the open kitchen using the best local suppliers and fresh produce.

Barluga Deli’s head chef Andrew and sous chef Jono are serving up meals to be proud of.

With service like this and food to match plus a lovely ambience it’s hard to see how this could possibly fail. Keep up the good work.

Gastro pub and terrace, Barluga Grey Street, Newcastle, is proud to launch its sister site Barluga deli, Morpeth. It brings casual style dining, with the ambience of a European café combined with fresh deli counters. This is for customers who appreciate high quality, freshly prepared food, quality wine and champagne all served in a comfortable, friendly environment.

www.barlugadeli.co.uk

STEPPING inside stylish city centre watering hole Barluga has the mystery effect of somehow making life seem a tad more glamorous.

The chic Art Nouveau-inspired interiors and kind lighting can’t help but lift the spirits – especially on a miserable, drab, winter’s day.

For those seeking a chic haven from the chill I heartily recommend it.

And an interesting gastro-pub menu offering everything from light bites and hearty lunches to pre-theatre speedy dinners and Sunday lunches, makes it a big draw with the city crowd.

The trendy bar had a £1m revamp three years ago and its award-winning interior with its dramatic chandeliers, comfy club chairs and back-lit wine display complements the grand facade of the handsome building on the city’s famed Grey Street.

The lunchtime I popped in with two friends to sample their winter menu it was extremely busy, but with a friendly buzz to the place.

It is clearly a popular bar in a prime position in town and I’m told it does a great line in delicious cocktails.

The open kitchen is run by head chef David Blackhall who offers a gastro-pub menu of comfort food and modern British cuisine.

Settled in our seats on the intimately-lit mezzanine floor, we had a great vantage point of the main bar area. Perfect for people watching between courses.

Our moods lifted, we sipped glasses of Fantinel Prosecco, a fresh, dry, fruity sparkler at £25 a bottle, a good choice for lunchtime, not being too heavy.

We chose from the winter menu which runs until March.

We opted first of all for the Barluga taster plate, £8.95, a platter groaning with mostly healthy goodies.

We picked and mixed from a selection of tempura prawns, Serrano ham, salami, hummus, Northumbrian cheddar, breads, homemade pickle, olives and spring rolls.

This was very much a sociable dish and all appeared super fresh, the tasty ham paper-thin and the nutty hummus particularly good.

For mains I opted for a warming Thai green chicken breast curry with roasted red pepper and coconut rice, £9.75.

I got tantalising aromatic wafts from the dish when it was served up. The chicken breast came as one piece and was completely enveloped in creamy, mildly spicy sauce, the zingy flavour of fresh coriander coming through. So far, so good.

Although the accompanying dome of coconut rice was cooked with the right amount of bite, far from being mild and fragrant, it was rather too spicy for my liking. It was the unmistakeable warmth of chilli.

I’m afraid to say I could only manage half the rice. My dining companions also tasted the rice and they, too, found it spicy hot. It was a shame because the rest of the dish was really very good but it did leave my lips somewhat tingly.

Across the table, fish pie with saffron and leek cream and gruyere- topped mash, £9.95, proved a big hit. A real winter warmer of a dish, it came served in its own little rustic dish with crunchy, bright green mange tout accompaniment.

It was described as “awesome”, the mash was creamy, cheesy, and the fishy contents included chunks of salmon, scallop and prawns. It was both hearty and filling.

The other mains choice of crispy belly pork with black pudding mash and cider and sage gravy, £9.75, was also a good dish and very substantial.

The fantastic crackling gave way to sweet and succulent meat, the bed of mash had an earthy flavour, and the subtle apple-tasting gravy worked well with the pork.

This was comfort food at its rib- sticking best!

For dessert, my cranberry and white chocolate chip flapjack with peanut brittle ice cream, was expensive at £4.50.

However, the flapjack treat, a substantial wedge of a piece, tasted homemade and was generously studded with cranberries. The fabulous caramel-coloured ice cream tasted exactly like peanut brittle. A decadent treat – especially at that price!

An exceedingly generous serving of apple and cinnamon crumble, £4.95, meanwhile, defeated the taste tester across the table.

The dish, which came with a little jug of fresh cream, would easily have fed a couple of us.

The tangy, not-too-sweet apple base was topped with thick layer of golden crumbly topping, given gentle warmth by the cinnamon.

The star pud of the day was Crema Catalana, a Spanish crème brûlée, costing £3.95.

This creamy dessert had a crisp, caramelised topping which cracked satisfyingly on contact with the spoon and a deliciously creamy custardy middle.

A sweet and satisfying finale.

By now, the wine was all but gone, the chat exhausted and we were feeling replete. It was time to venture back into the real world.

But we were all agreed Barluga made for a stylish lunch in a chic setting

Fluid Design Solutions has picked up first prize for best interior for Newcastle restaurant Barluga at the gourmet Society’s prestigious North East Restaurant Awards.

Fluid Design Solutions specializes in inventive schemes for bars, restaurants, hotels and nightclubs throughout the UK and Europe for a wide range of clients. Fluid not only design but operate eight leisure venues, one of which being award winning Barluga. The design team at Fluid applied their operational experience and design flair to deliver an innovative gastropub and lounge.

The design team introduced Art Nouveau influences with a contemporary twist to this imposing city centre venue, giving a Parisian feel and ambience to the much loved business district stalwart. The design had to be sympathetic and identify with the buildings existing grandeur, whilst relating to its wide customer base.

The detailing throughout oozes quality and craftsmanship, the use of materials offer lavish comfort. Sumptuous leathers and opulent chandeliers add maturity, which is intensified by innovative contemporary detailing.

Barluga is contemporary, elegant, meticulous and is located in the heart of the city. Moira Dinning had the pleasure of experiencing an evening at one of Newcastle’s finest.

Barluga, in sight of the Theatre Royal on Grey Street, is a place where you can indulge yourself and entertain your friends at the same time. The stylish open kitchen offers a gastropub style menu of comfort food and an a la carte menu of delicious modern British cuisine.

The extensive, quality wine list and superb cocktail selection will exercise the mind as much as the palate. The atmosphere and service is always friendly, whether you’re holding a corporate event or family gathering on the mezzanine floor, enjoying the city menu before a visit to the theatre, or just unwinding on the terrace.

Fluid Group’s ‘jewel in the crown’, Barluga, recently picked up first prize for best interior at the Gourmet Society’s prestigious North-East Restaurant Awards. The group’s sister company, Fluid Design Solutions, designed the fabulous interior using their undoubted operational acumen and design flair to create a wonderful social experience.

The detailing throughout screams quality and craft. Influences of Art Nouveau used in a contemporary manner, gives a Parisian feel and ambience. The sumptuous leathers and opulent chandeliers add maturity, and the velvet curtains tastefully draped from ceiling to floor add charm and sophistication. Barluga is unquestionably, an elegant, gastro experience.

My husband and I arrived for our reservation at 8pm, and were lucky enough to park on the doorstep, which in Newcastle city centre is an achievement. A cheerful, friendly waitress greeted us as soon as we entered the restaurant and showed us to our table. A window seat is always a bonus, and when the window is filled with magnums of champagne and huge champagne flutes, a touch of class springs to mind. Maybe this was strategically done, but I was driving, so could not indulge. And if I couldn’t, my husband couldn’t!

With drinks orders taken, our waitress presented us with the two menus; the a la carte and the everyday menu. This was another pleasantry, as the everyday menu is uniquely backed in chiseled wood. Absolutely no corner is left unturned at Barluga. Both menus were informatively talked through and our decisions were made.

Absolutely no corner is left unturned at Barluga… it is most definitely a place I will be returning to

Citrus salmon fishcakes, roasted Mediterranean vegetable crostini and oriental duck and plum salad are among the delights on the bar menu. We chose the caesar salad with fresh anchovies and the grilled marinated goat’s cheese with mixed bean and balsamic salad. The anchovies in the caesar salad were the most appetising my husband has tasted, and the large croutons, which were served with the salad, added great texture to the dish. But it was the goats cheese that really deserved an accolade, grilling it will certainly be a must whenever I find the time to cook my own – the flavours were sensational, especially when teamed with the mixed beans and balsamic salad. I really could eat this dish every night of the week, it’s that good!

With just enough time in between courses to sit back and enjoy the lively and affable atmosphere, our mains were served.

A choice of spiced meatballs and Thai green curry from the ‘comfort food’ section, a selection of fresh oysters, homemade fish fingers and Chinese pork and hoi sin sauce from the ‘sandwiches’ section, and mini vegetable spring rolls and tempura tiger prawns from the ‘dishes to share’ section all feature on the everyday menu. With, among others, seared local cod and pan-fried chicken supreme as choices on the a la carte menu. As you can see, we were completely spoilt for choice. How were we meant to decide from such a fine selection of dishes? Well, after much deliberation my husband opted for the fish pie with saffron cream and gruyere crust, filled with scallops, prawns, salmon, and smoked haddock. The prawns and scallops were huge and deliciously succulent. The infusion of all of the different flavours coming from the fish was just exquisite. This was served with mange tout, which added a nice touch. I chose from the ‘fish of the day’ section of the menu, as it was the section that really stood out to me; it offered something that little bit different. Not only was the fish of the day Pollock, which I have never had the opportunity of trying before, but you are given the choice of the way in which it is cooked and how you would like your potatoes and peas served. I opted for my fish to be grilled, with rosti potatoes and mushy peas. This is a very effective touch; not everyone likes their peas to be garden or their potatoes to be boiled do they? The fish was cooked to perfection; big, white chunks, which just flaked off, no bones, and the flavour from the side salad and balsamic vinegar sublimely complemented the dish.

After our two aptly filling courses, we just could not succumb to a third. So, instead of choosing a dessert, we were presented with five small chocolates. As with the previous dishes, the presentation was impeccable and the chocolates were divine. The sweetness of the different flavours ended our meal perfectly.

Barluga serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and with the contemporary menu and charming surroundings, it is most definitely a place I will be returning to in the
near future.

Fluid Design Solutions is bringing something new to the table with a stunning restyled interior and innovative new menu at Barluga.

Owned, designed and managed by Fluid, the much loved gastronomic stalwart is hidden behind the elegant façade of Grey Street. A firm favourite for the last 10 years amongst business people and ladies that lunch, Barluga had now been re-invigorated following a £1 million makeover.

The beautifully re-defined venue opened its doors on the 29th February with an elegant new interior that will enhance the Barluga experience, yet retain the same excellent standards, food and service that patrons have always enjoyed.

The new features, including a fresh open kitchen, exciting Chef’s tables, as well as external terrace sporting a dramatic, rarely viewed backdrop of Newcastle, all come together for improved dining comfort and bring a new dimension to the Barluga dining experience.

The eclectic new menu, designed by talented Head Chef Dave Blackhall, offers something for all taste at lunch or dinner, with a range of unusually light bites, an a la carte menu, plus a high quality Sunday lunch with a twist.

Barluga’s fresh interior acknowledges the collision in time of the art nouveau movement with its grand Edwardian structure, perfectly marrying into the fabric of the building with a twist of the contemporary.

The main dining area had been enhanced with a decorative period pressed tin ceiling, grand chandeliers, bespoke carpets and a beautifully backlit art nouveau inspired wine display. Period columns have also been introduced into the scheme to enhance the space and tie in with the theme.

‘A feature unlike anything patrons will have experienced in Newcastle before’.

The existing mezzanine has been extended to accommodate an external terrace which opens up a rarely viewed backdrop of Newcastle and St Nicholas Cathedral, providing an idyllic setting to enjoy a meal or a drink during the summer days and light nights.

The bar has also been transformed with French rolled zinc bar tops and floating beer tabs suspended from the canopy above the bar, a feature unlike anything patrons will have experienced in Newcastle before.

The design team at Fluid has both the operational experience and design flair to deliver innovative, exciting and practical solutions to your commercial space. To find out more, please contact Fluid design office on (0191) 2616404, or visit www.fluiddesignsolutions.com
