When thinking of all things burgers it’s nearly impossible to not mention Newcastle’s most up-and-coming burger restaurant, Meat:Stack. Meat:Stack is Newcastle’s answer to real American Cheeseburgers! Either grab a burger-to-go at Meat:Stack’s original home, Grainger Market, or head to Meat:Stack’s brand new restaurant to truly make the most of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
