I paid about £15 in a Slug & Lettuce for a cheeseburger and chips about 4 years ago. Was nowt more than 3/10 and certainly nowt fancy.

Large cod and chips in most pubs would cost nigh on a tenner, but a lot of people look at the low grade stuff you get in a Spoons for £6-7 and compare it with that.
This !
 
If it's being pitched as a seafood place, I assume it's not another Harry Ramsdens fish & chips gaff?

Is it more a fancy seafood place to keep the riffraff out?
 
Colemans has always been overpriced ... its no where near as good as the legend suggests. Anyhoo, current takeaway of choice is South Shields Shawarma ..... which is rather bloody epic...

I had a burger in spoons in Chesterfield a couple of weeks ago and it was champion for a fiver but I take your point.

Had you're pants down there

Definitely but the roads were in chaos due to that unexploded bomb so I pulled in for some scran to let them calm down. Company was paying so it's not all bad but I would have been better off going to KFC.

That depends on what he charges surely, have you ever been to the beach past August its empty apart from dog walkers, best chippie is still on Green Lane.:D
Aye true the winter will be quiet for them like. They wouldn't have opened if they weren't expecting to make big profit though.
Green lane is quality, the owner seems a nice bloke as well.
 
Still rather have me chips in paper instead of them daft boxes, loads of salt and vinegar;)nothing better.
 
Don't get me wrong it looks great, it was only getting wasted as a building, the council did nothing with it.Never seen the top picture b4
 
A town is reliant on economy and tourism and one has been used to help the other in this case. Colmans is a famous local business and the temple is a famous local landmark.

:lol:

I went last week as it used to be excellent when i was a kid . I was brought up tound the corner from the place. It was horrific. The greasiest fish and chips I've ever had. We all shared on fish as the other three were mushy fish served in a soggy pale yellow thin batter. Absolutely rank.

South Shields Shwarma mentioned above is magnificent mind!
