Wulstan: Extremely poor in so many ways
iwantgoodservice Says: Terrible. Service extremely slow and surly. A fairly quiet Tuesday lunchtime, it took three quarters of an hour to get four starters which were nothing to write home about. It took a further 30 minutes to get four pretty poor mains. This place is expensive...£8.50 for 6...

The Roebuck Centre: Shopping...for those that like to :-)
DaveRowley Says: Newcastle's shops are spread around the Town, and not all in on space or building as are many modern Town / City Shopping Centres..The Roebuck Centre has just a few of the Town's shopsThe good thing is its directly attached to the Town's multi-storey Car Park. The Roebuck...

DaveRowley Says: Whether its in the day to Shop or Eat, or at night to Drink, Dance and Eat, then the main 2 streets that house most facilities are the Ironmarket and the High Street.They are not long Streets as such and run at 90 degrees to each other. The Ironmarket is positioned @ halfway...
