Dr Gloom 19819 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 What a horrible, atrocious picture. And these fuckers are or wanting to run our country? I'd have have let them dress up, stare dreamily into space for their Spandau Ballet pose then put them against the wall ready for a hail of bullets. It would've been for the best. This picture sums u everything that's wrong with this country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Going to Coop tonight. I'm not big on chicken places so I don't really expect much, but it sounds like it should be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 We went to the Causey Inn on catmag's advice yesterday. It was as good as she said... But it WAS teeming with kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must've got lucky on Wednesday as it was really quiet. Glad you enjoyed it though! I imagine it'll be a stunning place at Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it'll be a stunning place at Christmas Aye. We were looking at that. Best part of £70 a head. Wouldn't mind it as long as I wasn't driving.

David Kelly 1117 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Cafe 21 was good yesterday. First time I've had hake since some dodgy meals in spain years ago and it was something of a revelation. The Vermont was the top pick of the week though.

Inochi 0 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That's pretty accurate, like. Tried Hop and Cleaver last Friday, the new BBQ place on the Quayside. It was alright, to be fair. Nowhere near as good as it thinks it is, mind. Somebody really needs to tell them that BBQ brisket should be served sliced, not as pulled beef in gravy. Flagrant violation of trade descriptions that.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Lovely roam around gibside today followed by a wonderful Sunday dinner at the south causey inn. Arrived about 4.30 and seated straight away. Meat, Yorkshire and gravy served on the plate followed by an abundance of plated veg to go at consisting of Roastys, mash, roasted parsnip, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots etc. Lots of lovely farm animals to entertain the kids outside as well.

Meenzer 14040 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Isn't that whole post basically just a paraphrase of what Cath said recently? She'll be glad to have been right on the money about the place mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Looking for a good steak anywhere in Tyne and Wear. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34434 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I had a really nice steak in Jamie's Italian. It was on the specials board though so isn't a regular part of the menu. I had their cheapy steak and chips another time and it was crap, although they have a range available and this was the cheapest. I'll get scoffed at for this, no doubt.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 We went to Jamies Italian a few weeks back. I had the chicken and thought it was little better than Nandos. The starter (goats cheese) and dessert (sticky toffy, fudge chocolate thing) were lush though, hard to get those wrong really. The wife had the standard steak off the menu, and as you say, not particularly impressed. Joined Jamies club so we were supposed to get a tenner off but they failed to put it through when i was paying and then said they couldn't refund me and we'd have to come back for another meal to get our £10 off deal, so canny shambolic service from the managementl... despite the lass being an excellent waitress up to that point.

Gemmill 34434 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ah that's a shame. I've had a couple of variable experiences there but it's mostly been good. The bad steak, which I guess was partly my fault for ordering cheap steak, and then I was in there the week after Christmas and they'd ran out of a bunch of stuff. They tried to play it off as how they only deal in fresh ingredients etc, but that's no excuse for not being able to cook a burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
