‘Your eyes are bigger than your belly’ is a well-known saying in North East England.

It might sound a bit daft. But ‘neurogastronomy’ (please bear with) proves that we eat with our eyes first.

Most of us prefer beautifully arranged plates to a bowl of dollop.

When a chef has taken their time with presentation, we assume more care also went into preparing the food on the plate.

Which explains why influencers whip their camera-phones out whenever they’re about to tuck into something that gives them ‘good vibes’.

In fact, this kind of free marketing should be enough to convince every restaurant owner to use great visuals to market their business. 

So, if you run a food joint in North East England and you want some photos that your customers actually want to lick, ping us. And have some sandwiches ready for when we come round, please.
