Sunday Sun - Eddy Eats - Pubs in Tyneside

Babucho, Dean Street, Newcastle upon Tyne

Sunday Sun — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT

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.

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.

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

Sunday Sun — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

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

The Broad Chare, Newcastle

Sunday Sun — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

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.

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.

The Town Wall, Pink Lane, Newcastle

Sunday Sun — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 23:00:00 GMT

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.

Cafe Bruges, 46 Brentwood Avenue, Jesmond

Sunday Sun — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 23:00:00 GMT

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

The Pavilion, Hotspur North, Backworth Business Park

Sunday Sun — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 23:00:00 GMT

DON’T you just love the British weather?

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.

Berkeley Tavern, 9 Marine Avenue, Whitley Bay

Sunday Sun — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 23:00:00 GMT

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.

Newton Park, Benton Road, Newcastle

Sunday Sun — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 23:00:00 GMT

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.

Toby Carvery, Ponteland Road, Newcastle

Sunday Sun — Sat, 07 May 2011 23:00:00 GMT

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.

Fleet Street, Pudding Chare, Newcastle

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

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.

The Wheatsheaf Inn, New York Road

Sunday Sun — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 23:00:00 GMT

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

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

Sunday Sun — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

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

The Firepit, Front Street Tynemouth

Sunday Sun — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

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.

The Lambton Worm, Chester-le-Street

Sunday Sun — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

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.

The Dolphin, King Edward Road, Tynemouth

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

IT MAY come as a shock to some readers, but once again Mrs Eats has decided that she’s putting us on a diet.

The Killingworth Arms, Killingworth Village, North Tyneside

Sunday Sun — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

THERE'S nothing better than a great Sunday lunch, cooked from scratch and delivered with a smile.
