David Kelly 1117 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Sachins was awesome. Just the right amount of spice in the chicken curry which was of a bit like a spice korma but not quite as sweet. Top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8989 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I know it's not Newcastle, but there's a couple of Yorkshire stricken fellows on here. Sukhothai was excellent food, massive portions and reasonable prices. I just had a red curry because the girlfriend's friends aren't that experimental with food so if they didn't like theirs, they could have mine. Needn't have bothered as they all wolfed down as much of their main as they could manage. Jamie's Italian was... well it's trading on his name. Top class service, but the food was pretty average in my opinion. The three of us who ate there were left a little underwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19821 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 not quite newcastle but the crown pub in mickleton was bloody lovely. went there a few weeks back for dinner. some of the best chips i've ever eaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Took dear old mother to the Matfen Hall yesterday afternoon for what was a superb dining experience.if you haven't been here yet it's really worth the trip out for Sunday Lunch. At £22 a head it's a treat, not a regular occurrence, but for two hours you will sit in the finest setting, be waited on superbly and taste some of the most delicious food you will ever eat. All four of us had varying items off the menu and no one was disappointed. Tea in the drawing room before lunch in the library is the only way to do it. Plus it's where Dr Gloom got married. (Also had a wonderful cheese board which I will share in Parkys cheese thread later). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34436 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Is that confirmed? Or is that your suspicion? I was actually only half taking the piss cos I've just been out running there, and was thinking about how once you get a level of fitness, you retain it fairly well. I've not been out running anywhere near as much as I would like, but in the last couple of weeks I've been out and done a 10k and 8k tonight, no bother having done very little the month to 6 weeks prior. By no means fast, but the point I was gonna make to CT was once you get over the hump, it gets quite easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty much of the opinion that runnings not the way to go for "time to get fit" over 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Had Sunday lunch in the Beehive near Earsden yesterday. It was very good. My daughter raved about this pub throughout 2013. Haven't been myself. (But will now). I have a daughter who since the age of 20, describes every eatery as lush. IMO, you need to have been round the block a few times before you can differentiate between eateries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be the haunt of every cheating husband and his bit on the side during the 90s when I was growing up. Does Mrs Renton have anything to worry about? and if it all falls apart who gets custody of the stained glass window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Another shout for the black horse, west boldon. Simply superb, as usual tonight. Didn't realise but Thursday is steak night.
