Festive dinner pods return to light up Newcastle’s Quayside thanks to The Dining Society

The eye-catching festive dinner pods are back on Newcastle's Quayside this December.

The igloos are run by The Dining Society and offer users the chance for an unforgettable dining experience right by the River Tyne.

Round tables are enclosed by a transparent bauble, illuminated with fairy lights, and offer views of Newcastle's famous bridges.

Each pod has its own heater, speaker system and WiFi too.

The experience opened for business again on Friday, November 26 and will continue to welcome guests until 10:30 pm on New Year's Eve.

The Dining Pods cater for up to 10 guests, who are served a three-course meal for between £399 and £450.

Customers can spend up to 90 minutes in the igloos with each time slot.

For starters, there is a Smooth chicken and brandy parfait or ​roasted plum tomato and sweet pimento soup.

For main course, there's a traditional roast turkey meal and a layered aubergine, speckled lentil and chickpea bake.

Dessert is a winter apple tart.
