Local Spotlight: Fork in the Rose

Local spotlight: Fork in the Rose

 

As a combined café and florist, Fork in the Rose is a unique gem nestled in the heart of Newcastle. The café only recently opened but has quickly become a firm favourite for its delicious food and coffee, and beautiful floral surroundings. Plus, it’s dog friendly!

 

We talk to Director and Florist, Gemma Pringle.

What is your favourite thing about running a small business?

Meeting customers and being able to chat on a more personal level. Each customer gets a feel for who we are and what we love to do.
