Sunday Sun - Eddy Eats - Pubs in Northumberland

The Wellington, Main Road, Riding Mill

Sunday Sun — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

THE outlook from the Eats’s bedroom window, as the curtains were drawn back with the customary flourish, was not one to set the spirits soaring.

Fratelli’s, Bell Villas, Ponteland

Sunday Sun — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 23:00:00 GMT

ANOTHER Sunday, another chance to eye up other people’s lifestyles – well at least for Mrs Eats that is.

Ridge Farm Pub and Carvery, Netherton Lane, Bedlington

Sunday Sun — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 23:00:00 GMT

THERE must be something in the water at the moment. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been inundated with letters from Sunday lunch lovers recommending various different eateries the length and breadth of our region.

The Waggon Inn, Higham Dykes, Milbourne, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 03:00:00 GMT

THROUGH rain, shine, and snow, we've driven past The Waggon Inn on numerous trips to Northumberland.

The Fishing Boat Inn, Boulmer

Sunday Sun — Sat, 21 May 2011 23:00:00 GMT

REMEMBER that old ditty, ‘Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, I do like to be beside the sea’?

Battlesteads Hotel and Restaurant, Wark, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 23:00:00 GMT

THE danger with being named national Great British Pub of the Year is that it builds people’s expectations, especially if you tick another of today’s boxes by being a very “green” establishment, too.

Lord Crewe Arms, Blanchland, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

THE Lord Crewe Arms is one of the oldest, most historic pubs in the region, yet until recently apparently it did not serve Sunday roast.

The Melton Constable, Beresford Road, Seaton Sluice

Sunday Sun — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

LAST Sunday we hopped in the Eatsmobile and took a trip to the beautiful Northumberland coast … well, just about, as we visited Seaton Sluice, the southernmost tip of the county.

The Feathers Inn, Hedley on the Hill, Stocksfield

Sunday Sun — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT

IT’S no secret that me and the Mrs have our favourite scran spots, but it might be less well-known that the nature of our work (I use that term very loosely) means there has to be a decent interval between visits.

The Highlander, Higham Dykes, Belsay

Sunday Sun — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

WHEN it comes to banishing the January blues, a slap-up Sunday lunch is the perfect tonic.

Willow Farm, Northumberland Business Park, Annitsford

Sunday Sun — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 09:30:00 GMT

ALWAYS in search of better carvery joints – and feeling like busting a gut today, She Who Must Be Fed and I headed out to visit somewhere a mate of mine has raved on about over the blower.

The Blackbird, North Road, Ponteland, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 00:00:00 GMT

LADY luck has finally shone on Eats Towers. Yes, Mrs Eats and I are £88 pounds richer after matching four numbers on last Saturday's Lotto.

Hermitage Inn, Warkworth, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 23:00:00 GMT

IT was one of those days that I imagine publicans love . . . when the weather changes in the blink of an eye.

The Castle Hotel, 7 Front Street, Bamburgh

Sunday Sun — Sat, 22 May 2010 23:00:00 GMT

SANDY beaches, blue skies and an English castle, you can’t ask for better on a Sunday afternoon jolly.

Lion & Lamb, Horsley, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Sun, 09 May 2010 07:00:00 GMT

WE awoke to the perfect spring day. Mrs Eats was keen to take full advantage of the clear blue skies and had her whites flapping in the breeze by 10am.

Milecastle Inn, Military Road, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 23:00:00 GMT

THERE’S one thing that can be relied upon with Mrs Eats and I – when it comes to our Sunday scran, a proper roast with all the trimmings will almost always be at the top of our list.

The Coach Inn, Lesbury, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 07:00:00 GMT

THE clocks may have gone forward this morning, but Mrs Eats and I remembered a recent Scran when snow lay on the ground and we fancied some comfort food.

The Shoulder of Mutton, Longhorsley, Morpeth

Sunday Sun — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

SPRING is in the air, the daylight hours are stretching out and Mrs Eats is emerging from under the cloud that tends to dampen her spirits during winter.

The Bay Horse, Stamfordham, Northumberland

Sunday Sun — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 09:00:00 GMT

NOW, Mrs Eats and I don't know many Northumberland farmers, so we can only accept what the waitress at the Bay Horse Inn at Stamfordham told us - that they have very big appetites.

Black Bull, Lowick,

Sunday Sun — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

ENCOURAGING Mrs Eats to curb her natural enthusiasm for shopping is often difficult.
