PASSION FOR FOOD – APPETITE FOR LIFE
Whickham is a town in the North East of England, four miles south west of Newcastle upon Tyne situated on high ground overlooking the River Tyne and Metro Centre.
Whickham is a pleasant retreat for those working in the Newcastle City Centre and Tyneside conurbation as well as being a living town with many social, cultural and business activities to be enjoyed by all the surrounding areas.
After 8 years of success with Sonny's Italia in the coastal area of Tynemouth, Ken and Deborah Froggatt, along with their enthusiastic team of professionals, branched out to Gateshead's Jewel.
Sonny's Locale is a brand new and exciting Italian/Mediterranean Restaurant in the heart of the village which has undergone extensive refurbishment and enlargement of an already long trading restaurant, all of which has been carried out with no expense spared.
Being a world class chef for 25 years and finding his love for Italian food, Ken now conducts and orchestrates the business from outside the kitchen also, enjoying both sides of service.
Ken and Deborah are frequent visitors to the Italian and French Riviera, they are always bringing back influences enjoyed there, re-creating them here, alongside old classical favourites and some signature dishes which have followed them around and have been enjoyed by diners old and new since the days of 'Vivante' in Ponteland, 'Bon Bistro' and 'Hot Box Cafe' in Jesmond.
Sonny's Italia, Tynemouth and now Sonny's Locale, Whickham serve modern and classical Italian/Mediterranean food and drink in an inspiring atmosphere of comfort and style all at very affordable prices.
In addition to the well balanced A La Carte Menu they have 2 Course themed set menus exploring regional cuisine from Italy and the Mediterranean which change frequently. They have selected Happy Hour pizza and pasta dishes at £4.75 early evening, including Friday and Saturday lunch.
Happy Hour prices are also available on Sundays along with their succulent Sunday Roast with all the trimmings for an unbelievable £5.90 along with classical puddings "like Mama used to make" direct from their own kitchen starting at £3.80.
Every Tuesday is Mediterranean Banquet Night at Whickham with a selection of dishes from around the Mediterranean. All you can eat and enjoy for £9.90, children £4.90.
They have an upstairs private room which can be used for lunches, dinners, receptions and parties as well as for business meetings.
