Sunday Sun - Eddy Eats - Pubs in Tyneside

The Sand Dancer, South Shields

ON a scorching hot Sunday, what better place to head to than the coast? However, picking the right spot — with such a wealth of delightful areas to choose from — can be difficult.

Yates's, Grainger Street, Newcastle

YATES’S, Grainger Street, Newcastle.

Copperfields at the Grand Hotel, Tynemouth

IN my humble opinion, there are few sights more majestic than the North East coastline.

Salutation Inn, Tynemouth

SOMETIMES, it seems as if Mrs Eats and myself must walk around with a big neon sign over our heads telling waiting staff to do their best to mess us about.

Sonny's Italia, Tynemouth

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 11:36:00 GMT

LET’S face it, an Italian restaurant and Sunday lunch is not something that you would ever dream of putting together.

The Blue Bell, Jesmond Vale

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

IT was many a year ago that the missus and I last ventured into Newcastle’s stunning Jesmond Dene. EXTRA PICTURES!

The Pow Burn, North Shields

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

THERE’S nothing greater than finding a little gem of a place for pub grub in a spot you’d never have expected.

The Arch, Tynemouth, North Tyneside

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT

IT may seem like Mrs Eats and I have the best job in the world, but let me assure you, it isn’t easy at times.

Black Horse, Barlow, Gateshead

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 23:00:00 GMT

THERE’S many a time Mrs Eats has told Yours Truly to “go fly a kite”... usually after I’ve come home a bit the worse for wear after a night out with the lads.

The Keelman, Newburn

Sat, 22 Sep 2007 23:00:00 GMT

SUMMER slipping away into autumn was the reason for my latest choice of Sunday Scran venue. EXTRA PICTURES!

The Rose, Shamrock & Thistle, Sunniside

Sat, 11 Aug 2007 23:00:00 GMT

YEARS of scranning can turn you into a bit of a curmudgeon if you’re not careful, but I pride myself on not being too picky. After all, not every village hostelry can be a gastro-pub.

The Keel Row, Seaton Delaval

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 23:00:00 GMT

COME the first sunny Sunday in ages Mrs Eats was demanding a day out at the seaside and suggested taking a picnic for a change.

Wheatsheaf Inn, New York

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 23:00:00 GMT

When is a pub not a pub? When it's a restaurant, of course! So when is a restaurant not a restaurant? When it's a pub, naturally.

The Gold Medal, Gateshead

Sat, 02 Jun 2007 23:00:00 GMT

As regular readers know, I'm a real ale man at heart, to the point where, given half the chance, I could bore for England on the subject of what constitutes "a proper pint".

The Runhead, Ryton

Sat, 26 May 2007 23:00:00 GMT

It was a wrong turn that led us to last week's scranning venue. The Eatsmobile's "satellite navigation" - aka Mrs Eats' legendary map-reading skills - failed us once again and we ended up in Ryton, Gateshead.

The Wooden Doll, North Shields

Sat, 28 Apr 2007 23:00:00 GMT

It's always the same . . . the first hot weekend of the year is guaranteed to bring out the sunseekers from their winter hibernation.

Bays Bistro, Whitley Bay

Sat, 21 Apr 2007 23:00:00 GMT

There's nothing like a bit of sea air to work up a hearty appetite.

Golden Lion, Winlaton Mill

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 23:00:00 GMT

Roll on July 1... that's when smoking in pubs and clubs will become a thing of the past and scranners will be able to savour their food without it tasting of other people's ciggie smoke.

The Skiff Inn, Swalwell

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT

How do you like to spend your Sundays? The Sabbath, in my mind, should be a day of rest, as God intended. In fact, the most stressful part of the day should be deciding whether to watch Antiques Roadshow or Time Team on the telly.

Gibraltar Rock, Tynemouth

Sun, 11 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT

There's nothing quite like a stroll along a sandy beach to blow away the cobwebs and get you in the mood for a hearty Sunday lunch.
