Monkeys Fist 42442 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 It’s my 50th birthday treat mate, I’m aiming to eat as many different dead animals as I can in a two day period 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21624 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 You're in the wrong thread. Anyway, my recommendation is the maison bleue which is about as central as you can get. Best dead Bambi I've ever had. Mind, this was more than 5 years ago. https://www.maisonbleuerestaurant.com/ Think I've been to the castle terrace and didn't like it, it was much less casual and relaxed. Congratulations on hopefully not dying before your half century BTW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42442 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Booked a table at Martin Wisharts place, The Honours. https://www.thehonours.co.uk/ I fear it may sneak some pea foam on my dead beast when I’m distracted by the waves of pretension 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44879 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I went to his place at Cameron House. Poncey doesn't begin to describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 A reminder, Newcastle restaurant week next week. Just been to Paradiso for some Al Fresco dining tonight and must say it takes some beating for Al Fresco Mediterranean food. My personal recommendation: Starter: Anti Pasta Caldo Main: Mix Grill No pudding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Need a good coffee shop to recommend. Preferably not a Costa/Starbucks. The closer to Grey St Hotel the better. Also some mates are heading up for the Bournemouth game and asked for pub/bar advice. Suggested the Forth/Town Wall, Tilleys before the match then Fat Hippo for food and Alvinos for drinks after. Are they all still good or have I given my mates a bum steer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42442 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Do your mates like craft beer? From Grey St. they could go; Split Chimp Box Social Errant They’re all in the railway arches between Castle Keep and along past the Telegraph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not, and I did think about it, but isn't there a coffee that takes, something like, 15 minutes to get to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33202 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm just imagining a conversation about a trip somewhere with mates that involves discussing what coffee shop we go to? It's a pretty surreal scenario tbh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
