Tyneside pubs, pubs in Newcastle, Gateshead & more

Babucho, Dean Street, Newcastle upon Tyne

IF YOU totted up the hours Mrs Eats has spent looking at stuff she has no intention of buying, I reckon it would account for a good four-and-a-half years so far. Window shopping they call it – but this time there weren’t even any windows.Read

Oak, Dean Street, Newcastle upon Tyne

BILLING yourself as a “one of a kind” dining experience is a rather gutsy move, especially when you’re a restaurant without Heston Blumenthal in the kitchen.Read

Eddy Eats' Pub of the Year 2011: The Killingworth Arms

IT'S that time of year when we raise a glass to toast the roasts of 2011.Read

The Broad Chare, Newcastle

WHEN I told Mrs Eats I was taking her to a Michelin-recommended restaurant she looked at me like I’d secretly scooped the pools.Read

Harbour Lights, South Shields

SOMETIMES there’s nothing better than a breath of sea air to brighten up your Sunday. Even better for Mrs Eats when you can combine it with minor celebrity spotting and a quality Sunday roast.Read

The Town Wall, Pink Lane, Newcastle

YES, it’s that time of year already. No sooner is Match of the Day back on the box than Mrs Eats starts talking about the Christmas shopping and how we must do it early this year to avoid the last-minute crowds.Read

Cafe Bruges, 46 Brentwood Avenue, Jesmond

WHEN deciding the venue for our latest Sunday jaunt out, the Eats family opted to try something a little different.Read

The Pavilion, Hotspur North, Backworth Business Park

DON’T you just love the British weather?Read

The Potter's Wheel, Sunniside, Gateshead

EVERY North county has its own unique character, and in my years doing this column I've zig-zagged across every one.Read

Berkeley Tavern, 9 Marine Avenue, Whitley Bay

SHE was determined to make the most of the summer sunshine, which is why Mrs Eats suggested a trip to the seaside for our customary scran this week.Read

Newton Park, Benton Road, Newcastle

IT wasn’t a great first impression. We entered the pub to find peas squashed into the carpet and tables full of empty plates and glasses.Read

Toby Carvery, Ponteland Road, Newcastle

THINGS have been far from merry in the Eats house of late. She Who Must Be Fed has been in one of her moods for the last week or so, which I believe is directly linked to the weather.Read

Fleet Street, Pudding Chare, Newcastle

FOR the last 12 years I’ve been submitting my weekly Sunday Scran report to those good people at Sunday Sun HQ, but it’s a little known fact that I rarely darken the doors of the office.Read

The Wheatsheaf Inn, New York Road

THERE are times when this job isn’t as easy as it looks. No, it’s not always easy being Eddy Eats.Read

The Angel View Inn, Low Eighton Banks, Low Fell, Gateshead

THE Eatsmobile has clocked thousands of miles in our quest to review the North East’s finest (and sometimes less than fine) Sunday lunches.Read

The Firepit, Front Street Tynemouth

MRS EATS said she was fancying some sea air so we headed out in the Eatsmobile to Tynemouth, where we’d heard a regular haunt on Front Street had recently become a whole new dining experience. Read

The Lambton Worm, Chester-le-Street

WHEN many pubs are investing in fancy new carveries, which of course are reflected in the £8 to £9 price of a roast, it’s good to know there’s somewhere you can go for a no- nonsense, no-frills Sunday dinner at a bargain basement price. Read
