Forty-one food retailers, producers and caterers have signed up to the Newcastle Journal’s new Taste North East England Campaign online directory.
Journal editor Brian Aitken told his own paper: “The region’s independent shops, farm stalls, artisan producers and small businesses are helping to change for the better the food map of the North East. Unfortunately, many are not very good at standing up and shouting about their successes.
It is the first step towards a more detailed online directory set to be launched at JournalTasteNE.co.uk later in the year, the paper said.
