If the food prep area is bad, it makes me wonder what the pipes are like and how dirty the cellar is.

Had a visit to Coast to Coast at some point last year (the one in the Gate) and wasn't impressed.
However, on a lads night out just before Christmas, we stumbled in to Byrons (the old Waterstones).
Dunno whether it was the beer or not, but I really enjoyed what I had.
Longhorns takes some beating mind.

Wasn't Byron's the old H&M? Can't remember Waterstones being there

Anyone else playing?
Really getting in to it this year and have won some prizes by Wombling.
It seems everyone is after free food and are disregarding the rest of the stickers.
(04 Apr 2016, 10:18 pm)Tom wrote Best I've won is a free quarter pounder or Big Mac haha but yeah I've got rid of most the other ones, you can win a free holiday or something? I don't go to McDonald's a lot anyway as there's not one close by to go at dinner so it's mainly KFC.

Mind, some Monopoly food ones get chucked too...
Keep at it Jimmi. Had a free apple pie today from a voucher left lying.

Had bacon burger and fries plus they do free refills on the drinks and they have a few different options with me opting for Cherry Coke. First time I've been and it won't be the last, pleased we now have one at the MetroCentre and one in Newcastle opening soon.
