Nandos I could pass but good when rough off the drink LOL

Frankie & Bennys is just awful!

(11 Aug 2015, 7:24 pm)Tom wrote Yeah Nandos is nice, often go there when I'm in town. Quite like the Handmade Burger Co. which is opening one in Eldon Square too (that'll be two within walking distance!).

(11 Aug 2015, 7:48 pm)aureolin wrote Gourmet Burger Kitchen?

(11 Aug 2015, 7:51 pm)Michael wrote Ye!

Haven't being their to, is that any good?

Anyone here being to Nudo Sushi, its not bad... something i wouldn't have weekly though!

(11 Aug 2015, 7:55 pm)aureolin wrote Never been to one up here, but the ones I tried in London and Bristol were great. Pricey for what it is, but certainly tasty.

(11 Aug 2015, 7:56 pm)Tom wrote When Five Guys comes to Newcastle and Metrocentre next year I definitely want to try that - heard good things about it!

(11 Aug 2015, 7:29 pm)Tom wrote Aye Frankie and Bennys is a rip off!

Coast to Coast is much better I think - similar food and a lot cheaper.

(11 Aug 2015, 8:00 pm)Michael wrote Just had a look at the menu... sounds nice

(11 Aug 2015, 8:02 pm)Tom wrote Aye it does, Newcastle is going to be unreal for dining once the new food court opens in Newcastle. 21 new restaurants, hopefully they'll be something different and not the same old. Would be nice to have a Chiquito in Newcastle, very nice but pricey.

(11 Aug 2015, 8:04 pm)aureolin wrote Sunderland doesn't need a food court. It has about 6 Greggs.

(11 Aug 2015, 9:12 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Yet to try the handmade burger co. The menu says they all have mayo on, which means that big'un would need to ask for it to be left off, which is against his rules

I'm not overly keen on F&Bs, but it's just about the only place (apart from "Coffee!") that the 4 of us can find something we'll all eat. I'd like it better if the salad wasn't so crap. Big'un usually has a burger or spag bol (or an M&S salmon and cucumber sarnie) hates spice and can't eat cheese (the consequences are vile). Little'un is all about sausage rolls or crap and chips.

Sunderland appears to be slowly morphing into one giant Greggs.

(11 Aug 2015, 9:16 pm)BusLoverMum wrote There's one opened in Durham, where the chinese buffet used to be in the Gates. I keep meaning to try it. I would definitely have to do that without children. Nothing they sell is in either of their rule books.

Who needs Nandos and The Handmade Burger Company when you can have a Greggs

EDIT  Just remembered theve started to put inside dining inside there shops so there you go, Fine Dining  

(11 Aug 2015, 9:37 pm)Malarkey wrote I and charge you extra for the privilage of doing so, Greggs might be nice and all but prices are starting to become quite vertical, which is why whenever I am in Newcastle I go to Eat 4 Less for Dinner, if only Sunderland had one also.

(11 Aug 2015, 9:25 pm)Tom wrote Aye they should take it out for you. I'm sure you can create your own burger too, if you do go the pulled pork one was delicious. The only downside with Handmade Burger Co. is that you have to pay for your fries. So can be a bit pricey.
