WHEN I was writing up this week’s review I was sat at home watching the Champion’s League Final between Manchester United and Chelsea.

Dunelm Ridge, Pity Me

Sat, 03 May 2008 23:00:00 GMT

MRS EATS and I have become quite enamoured with Durham, what with the cathedral, the riverside walks and the historic city centre.

The Pumphouse, Durham

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 23:30:00 GMT

THE last time Mrs Eats and I found ourselves at the Pumphouse on the outskirts of Durham we described it as a scranning treasure.

Ancient Unicorn, Barnard Castle

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT

WHILE gorging herself on Easter eggs for breakfast, Mrs Eats politely informed me — through a mouthful of chocolate — that a long-overdue trip to Barnard Castle, in County Durham, was in order.

Derwent Walk Inn, Ebchester, County Durham

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT

HEARTY, tasty grub is all well and good but as Mrs Eats always remarks, it’s often about location, location, location when it comes to a decent scran, and I had to agree as we parked the Eatsmobile and took in the stunning views surrounding The Derwent Walk Inn, in Ebchester, County Durham.

The Black Bull, Peterlee

SALES! You can’t avoid them at this time of year. I had no sooner wrapped Mrs Eats Christmas presents and finished putting them under the tree on December 24 when she was planning how to spend the following days trudging from one shop to another with me in tow so she could save a few quid on yet another pair of shoes.

The Crow’s Nest, Seaham

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 23:00:00 GMT

MRS EATS has started to take an interest in local history. I’m sure it will be just another of her fads that will pass with time . . . but for the moment I have to indulge it.

South Causey Inn, Stanley

Sat, 06 Oct 2007 23:00:00 GMT

LIFE’S full of choices . . . from the moment you wake up in the morning there are myriad decisions to be made just to get you through the day. EXTRA PICTURES!

The Honest Lawyer, Croxdale

Sat, 07 Jul 2007 23:00:00 GMT

MRS EATS and I have visited more than our fair share of pubs in our time. Indeed, we have reviewed so many eateries we could probably fill a book with our tips on the best place to scran in the North.

Broomside Park, Durham

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 23:00:00 GMT

Bargains . . . there's nothing Mrs Eats likes more apart, of course, from a good scran.

The Duke of Wellington, Neville's Cross

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT

What do Spiderman, Superman and Batman all have in common? Yes, they all have a strange fascination with skin-tight Lycra, but that's not what I am getting at.

Black Bull, Old Shotton, County Durham

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Regular readers of this column will know that Mrs Eats and I love nothing more than working up an appetite before we embark on a scran.

The Kicking Cuddy, County Durham

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT

There is a philosophical point of view that when one door closes another one will open. This week's scran fully subscribes to that pearl of wisdom.

Chevita

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Sometimes Mrs Eats and I like to be organised about our scranning you know . . . do some research, decide where we're going in advance, book if necessary generally plan the day around lunch.

The Blue Bell Inn, Stanley

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT

It has been another busy 12 months for Mr and Mrs Eats. In the pursuit of bringing you the best scrans the region has to offer the Eatsmobile has put a few more thousand miles on the clock and She Who Must Be Fed has piled on a few more pounds.

The Hill Top, Stanley

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT

Spontaneity is something I'm not a big fan of. The last time I did something radically off-the-cuff was when I bought a pair of blue socks instead of black.
