No way has that thread been deleted?? Surely theres a back up versin of the board it can be brought over from?

Anyway I used Princess Pizzeria the other day. For some reason they put peppers and red onions on my pepperoni pizza. (Was nice apart from having to pick that shit off) and chips was bland and under cooked. Wont use them again.

Used Marinos before that but they stopped doing curly fries so stopped using them too.

Think will use OhSo Kitchen next time which cropped up on Just Eat recently.

KFC chips are now edible

Venezia mixed chicken kebab and cheesy chips still kicking arse. Shame I’m on a diet!

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Wed Jan 23, 2019 8:14 pm

Savvy Pizza is very decent. Stuffed Crust Pepperoni is lush. Chips are different from the usual fare too, can get them with 'American Spice' whatever the fuck that means?

I haven’t had a decent takeaway for ages, they’re all shit down south. Usually get fish and chips from a place I don’t know the name of, not the best but edible. 6/10
Sometimes get a dominos, they don’t do the meateor or whichever meat one I used to get anymore, and apparently they haven’t for some years. Get one of the other generic meat ones instead now, 7/10 not greasy enough.

And conversely, I don’t like the new kfc chips. They’re just the same shit soggy chips, but now they don’t bother peeling the potatoes, 2/10.

I got a Meateor last week, what are you on about?

I made a curry for tea tonight, just chucked a load of spices in the slow cooker with some chicken, stock and chopped tomatoes. It was good, but I didn't weigh or measure anything, so I'll never be able to make it again.

Went for a meal at the Castle Eden Inn last night. Very nice place and food was lovely.

Starter of "Black Magic" which was a bacon and black pudding stack covered in peppercorn sauce. 10/10.

Main of Thai Green Chicken Curry with rice, chips and prawn crackers. 9/10.

Big portions so couldnt fit a desert in.

Will be back.

Well they mustn`t have cooked them long enough, last twice I have been they were crisp and well cooked.

Had a half lot from the Almighty Cod (due lack of Real Bread

) at lunchtime today.
Fish in two bits but very chunky and nicely cooked only £2.90. Chips good too.
8.5/10

Almighty Cod for me is the best fish in town, but I can't abide the half hour queue.

Had a Blitz Parmo yesterday from Glady’s, the missus had a normal one. Top notch as always, 10/10.

Friday I went to fat hippo in Newcastle, had the peanut butter and jam burger, was delicious, chips were shite though, 8/10.

Went to the fox and hounds in Benwell today, had an XL mixed grill, missus had a chicken burger thing, decent for pub food, 7/10.

Blue Bell parmo rocks my world, 2 for 10.50 on monday night.

Compo · **Posted:** Sun Jan 27, 2019 10:18 pm

When I was back home at Christmas I had a hot shot parmo from Bambino’s with chilli sauce. Very good 9/10 but that be down to fact I hadn’t had one in about two years.

Went to the Raby Arms for Sunday lunch had the lamb was brilliant 10/10 and I forgot how cheap food was at home.

Also went to Don Bees (as its proper name is) aka the cod father or whatever maybe almighty cod, pisses all over anything down south and half the price. I gave up buying any fish and chips here it’s crap and they leave the skin on the fish and don’t do scraps.

I went to Wrose Pizza and Kings Balti on Friday, got two 14” pizzas, chips, and a bottle in a meal deal. I can’t remember how much it was but it was cheaper than anywhere else in the area, and it still seemed expensive.

I had the American burnout pizza, which is kebab, pepperoni, salami, and crushed chilli. It was very spicy, but my stomach was surprisingly fine the next day. Chips were top notch too, 9/10

The girlfriend had the ham and pineapple pizza, which is ham and pineapple. She seemed to enjoy it, and the cold slice I had on Saturday was pretty good too. 9/10 as well

They didn’t have any Diet Coke, so we had to get full fat. I’m diabetic so I couldn’t drink it, 0/10

Driven past a million times, but never been there in Blue Bell mode - tried to go when it was a Spanish tapas bar during the world cup, 2010 - they weren't going to show the final, so I left.

If the nosh is worth it, I might drop in ...

Chicken Kung Bo avec Noodles. from the Royal Chef tonight. A respectable 7/10. My new favourite from there is the Singapore Chow Mein. Royal Chef is still the go to Chinese.

Kings Balti the new go to Curryhouse. Being getting dishes I've never tried before. Gosht Ka Salaan (Moghul Style Beef) was very edible 8.5/10. The Shashlic Chicken Special is 1 worthy 8.5/10 too.

Sorento the best Kebabs still. The Donner Wraps do seem to be getting thinner, though Dad still loves the Chicken n Chips. Cheap prices too.

KFC still fantastic, although not sure about the new chips. Preferred the old ones.

Spoons. Me n Dad still like Steak night n Chicken night, and Dads favourite Friday Fish n Chips Friday.

GRaNDE The new little Italian place. Dads enjoyed the Chicken n Chips, I've tried the Pasta dishes 9/10 and the Pizza 10/10. Highly recommended, definately the best Pizza in Town.

As for home cooking discovered the Cheese filled Burgers from Aldi 7/10 and the Frozen Donner Meat from Heron is decent (strangely the cheaper one is my favourite).

Bedales at Tindale still the best Chippy.

HTH

The Bishop · **Posted:** Tue Mar 19, 2019 9:51 pm

As an aside there is planning permission submitted for a new Lebanese restaurant at Tindale. I've never had Lebanese before, I presume it's Humus, Cous Cous, Kebabs and Tagines. I will report back when/if it opens.

Some lovely traditional home cooking right there Mr Bishop.

Have you ever considered bringing out a cook book? It’s a crowded market but most are going down the healty route these days you could call yours ‘That’s got me Poppin- your easy route to type two diabetes’.

You are surely due a trip down the smoke to Slaughterhouse restaurant?
