Sunday Sun - Eddy Eats - Pubs in Tyneside

Twin Farms, Kenton Bank Foot, Newcastle

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

We decided to make the most of a snow-free Sunday and take a trip to the garden centre. Ever since the woman from up the street commented on my sweet peas, I’ve fancied myself as a bit of an Alan Titchmarsh. Mrs Eats wasn’t suited. She was hoping to look for a new kitchen. She should be so lucky.

LAST week, as readers may remember Mrs Eats was banging on about her weight.

Stewart & Co, The City Library, Charles Avison Building

ALEXANDER McCall Smith was overdue. We weren’t waiting for a tardy associate to join us for Sunday lunch, however. Mrs Eats had promised to return a book to the library for a friend before she was clapped in irons and flogged for harbouring The No1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.

AS regular readers of this fine column will know, something that Mrs Eats and I are passionate about is food.

WITH my wallet feeling the pinch after the festive season and a wife fed up of cooking for hoards of hungry friends and relatives, I had a serious problem on my hands at the start of the new decade.

The Green Room, Customs House, South Shields

ONCE Mrs Eats discovered that X Factor sensation Joe McElderry used to work at the Customs House in South Shields, there was only going to be one venue for Sunday Scran.

MAYBE I was overcome by an early bout of the festive spirit last weekend because I reckoned it was time to treat the better half to some proper posh nosh . . . but where to go?

Pitcher and Piano, 108 The Quayside

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

MRS Eats insisted we get out of the house and do something other than our normal stroll before a meal.

Six, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

MRS Eats has been acting very strange of late. I blame all that celebrity rubbish she watches on TV. It’s starting to give her ideas of grandeur.

Ox Inn, Middleton, Northumberland

I PRIDE myself on how good I am at forming an accurate first impression of people and places, but on occasions even my powers of perception can be a million miles out.

Freya's Restaurant at Aspers, The Gate, Newcastle

I'M not a gambling man, so if you asked me to place a bet on getting a good Sunday lunch in a casino, I’d have normally said "no".

Firenze, Jesmond, Newcastle

SOME weekends I fancy a lazy Sunday at home but the thought of a lovely roast dinner is enough to coax me from the sofa.

The Northumbrian Piper, Fawdon Close, Newcastle

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 23:00:00 GMT

AS regular Sunday Scran readers will know, Mrs Eats and I are always on the look-out for somewhere new as we continue our quest to find the best Sunday lunches around.

AS regular readers of Sunday Scran will know, I never seem to tire of a traditional British Sunday lunch.

The Green, Wardley, Gateshead

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:00:00 GMT

EVERY time Mrs Eats mentions she’s watching her weight I know I’m in for a hard time.

Moor Farm, Annitsford, Cramlington

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 23:00:00 GMT

IT’S been a tough week in Eats HQ. She Who Must Be Fed has been almost unbearable of late, as her appetite seems to have become healthier than usual.

The Pavilion, Backworth, North Tyneside

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:00:00 GMT

SUNDAY lunch, as many readers will know, is one British tradition that must be adhered to religiously in our household.

The White Swan, Dinnington, Newcastle

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 23:00:00 GMT

LAST week, eagle-eyed readers would have spotted a letter in our fine publication, lamenting the fact that Mrs Eats and I only ever review Sunday roasts.

Three Mile Inn, Gosforth, Newcastle

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 09:42:00 GMT

I’VE said it before, there’s nothing like a drive to work up an appetite, except of course when Mrs Eats gets her walking boots on.
