Sunday Sun - Eddy Eats - Pubs in Northumberland

The Shoulder of Mutton, Longhorsley, Morpeth

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

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.

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

The Wellington, Riding Mill

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:00:00 GMT

IT was a crisp, bright and sunny autumn day... perfect for a drive out, a walk in the country and, of course, a scrumptious Sunday lunch.

The Plough Inn, Mitford, Northumberland

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 23:00:00 GMT

PERHAPS it was a good job that there was no menu to cast our eyes over when we took the Eatsmobile through the Northumberland countryside to The Plough Inn at Mitford, a few miles west of Morpeth.

The Black Bull, Middle Street, Corbridge

IF there’s one thing that lands a man in the dog house with the missus, it’s forgetting the wedding anniversary.

The Boatside Inn, Warden

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 23:00:00 GMT

JUST occasionally Mrs Eats and I get the urge to blow away the cobwebs with a good walk.

Tankerville Arms, Eglingham, Alnwick

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 23:00:00 GMT

MAYBE it’s been the recent glorious weather but the better half has been in an adventurous mood lately when it comes to choosing her places to scran.

The Angel, Main Street, Corbridge

Sat, 09 May 2009 23:30:00 GMT

THERE’S nothing like a sunny day to bring out the worst in Mrs E. As soon as she spies the first beam of sunlight, she’s in the shed sorting out the gardening tools so I can get down to a morning’s graft while she relaxes in a deckchair, reading the Sunday Sun and pointing out where I am going wrong.

Astley Arms, Seaton Sluice, Northumberland

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT

WE’VE been in this game long enough, you’d think we’d know by now. The first hint of sunshine towards the end of February and it seems like every person in the North heads to the coast.

The Cottage Inn, Dunstan, Northumberland

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT

THE trusty Eatsmobile continues to clock up mile after mile, so far unhampered by any effects of the inclement weather we’ve experienced recently.

Red Lion Inn, Alnmouth, Northumberland

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT

THERE’S nothing more refreshing, particularly at this time of year, than a bracing walk along the coast to blow away all those cobwebs.

The Feathers Inn is our Pub of the Year

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

MRS E and I have famously high standards. We don’t expect posh, overpriced fancy food whenever we go in search of scran.

Robin Hood Inn, East Wallhouses, Northumberland

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

THE Missus had literally not left the house all week. She had been rendered temporarily immobile because of the snow and ice, to which she had developed an aversion after taking a slight tumble last winter.

The Pheasant Inn, Stannersburn

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

ME and the missus read in disbelief this week the tale of disappointed families who forked out hundreds of pounds for the “Lapland New Forest” experience and found it didn’t quite come up to scratch.

Oak Inn, Causey Park, Northumberland

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

IT’S only November and already Mrs Eats has been dragging me out on festive shopping expeditions so you can imagine my relief when Sunday came around.

The Swan, Heddon-on-the-Wall

THE SWAN, Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland

Black Door Bar and Dining Rooms, Morpeth

Sun, 09 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT

IN our quest to bring you our views on where to head for a decent scran, Mrs Eats in particular, will leave no stone unturned or door unclosed.

Collingwood Arms Hotel, Cornhill on Tweed

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 23:00:00 GMT

WHAT with all this talk of credit crunch and banks falling off the edge of a cliff, I fear I too may have to tighten my belt.
