A television acting legend enjoyed a meal at one of Newcastle's best restaurants last week.
Royle Family actor Jessica Hynes visited House of Tides, one of the city's best, at the end of last week.
Owner of the Michelin-starred venue Kenny Atkinson shared his 'pleasure' to host Jessica and her family on April 16.
Jessica played the role of Cheryl in the established comedy show, regarded as one of the best British sitcoms to have been created.
She also starred in the horror comedy movie Shaun of the Dead, Harry Enfield and Chums and Doctor Who among other roles.
House of Tides, on Newcastle's Quayside, has also hosted podcast superstars, Chris and Rosie Ramsey.
Tripadvisor reviews from customers hail the 'amazing' food, 'friendly' staff and a 'carefully crafted experience' at the restaurant.
"Dining at House of Tides is nothing short of stepping into a carefully crafted story—one told through flavour, creativity, and genuine hospitality," one review said.
"From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere sets this Michelin‑starred restaurant apart. It’s warm, relaxed, and effortlessly friendly - easily the most welcoming fine‑dining environment I’ve ever experienced.
"Quite simply, it was phenomenal. Each plate brought flavours unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before - bold, balanced, surprising, and beautifully presented. Every course felt like a new chapter in a journey, crafted with imagination and precision.
"House of Tides doesn’t just offer dinner; it offers an unforgettable experience. If you’re seeking food that amazes, service that makes you feel genuinely valued, and an atmosphere that blends fine dining with heartfelt hospitality, this place is a must‑visit."
Another added: "As my first time eating in a Michelin star restaurant I had high expectations, but House of Tides went above and beyond any expectations we could have possibly had.
"The food was utterly faultless, and the mussels were hands down the nicest plate of food we have ever tasted."
