(26 Mar 2016, 7:28 pm)Andreos1 Not a fan of these corporate chain places at all.
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.

I tried Coast to Coast and I liked it

Some chains are not great at all, Frankie and Benny's has gone down hill too. However some are very nice - like Iguanas on grey street where I've been a couple of times, best latin american food in my opinion. Miller and Carter is also one of my favourites.

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

Coast to Coast is owned by the same group as Frankie and Benny's (more over-rated tosh).

Aye, Waterstones had that site for years. Dunno about H&M.

McNasties Monopoly.
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.

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.

Aye haven't been going as much though as they are getting too slow and then we've nearly been late back. They're building a BK in Wallsend too but they seem to be dodgy depending on what branch you go to - Metrocentre is always fast but the North Shields one is so slow.

Still haven't claimed my Big Mac so will have to sometime - I'm sure you'll get something sometime Jimmi I did on my first go

Had my dinner at Five Guys in the Trafford Centre today and I loved it. 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.

Looks like big'un would approve, as you have to ask them to put the mayo on, rather than to leave it out! We've ruled out so many burger places because there is nothing that says you're allowed to ask them to leave it off and, bolshy as he is, he can't have something that is not specified on the menu (eg a mayo free burger!)

OTOH, I forsee a trip to Nando's with littl'un. He's been eating curry, this week. The one I made today turned out not terribly mild, but he wolfed it down, once he'd had a taste. He's also discovered M&S ham sandwiches with mustard mayo. Pulled a surprised face, the first time he tried some, then inhaled it!

I liked the Japanese curry Lattices they did, not sure if you can still get them though.

Wish they would do a selection for a while then ask people to vote their favorite to keep them on permanently, sick of going to Gregg's and seeing they've took it off because its limited addition!

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
