Not Completely 'Corr!' At The Wheatsheaf in Corbridge

Advantages: Free secure parking for patrons, delicious main course
Disadvantages: Cutlery in a jug on table (yuk), deserts where over priced and disappointing, loo's a bit messy.

...A couple of weeks ago myself and my mother where travelling over to the North East from our home in Carlisle. It's a journey we make quite regularly, as we are originally from Sunderland and still have an awful lot of family there including my elderly Grandmother. However on this occasion our purpose wasn't to visit relatives, but to celebrate my 32nd birthday at the Take That concert being held that night at the Stadium of Light and so we planned to stop somewhere along the way for a meal. Having a plethora of quaint little villages with plenty of pubs and hotels to choose from along the A69, we decided on The Wheatsheaf Hotel at Corbridge. Just off the A69 and around 18 miles west of Newcastle, Corbridge is a Roman garrison town in close proximity to Hadrians Wall and has a bustling tourist industry. The Wheatsheaf is pretty...

Review of Boots Stay Perfect Eye Shadow Wheatsheaf

STAY PERFECT

Advantages: EASY TO APPLY, LOOKS GREAT WHEN ON
Disadvantages: NOTHING

.... The special binding formula in this eye shadow clings to the delicate eye area this makes the eye shadow look fresh and not smudged. This eye shadow is pigment-rich; Just like Urban Decay, or any of the Maybelline eye. No 7 load their eye shadows with so much colour and very few binders (there the things that hold the shadow together) So the eye shadow makes your eyes look gorgeous and stand out. I was really pleased with the results of this product as they make my eyes look fabulous and the eye shadow is very bold, some eye shadows i have purchased don't stand out at all with this eye shadow you really cant go wrong. The shades to choose from. comet Lilac sky Island sea Midnight blue True gold Silver lining Khaki Tender Wheatsheaf Mink Truffle Innocence I'm really glad that there are many eye shadow shades to pick from as...

Review of Boots No.7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow

Excellent introduction to postcolonial debates.

Advantages: Suitable both for undergraduates and specialists, broad range of readings.
Disadvantages: None

...Published by Harvester Wheatsheaf Price: I paid about £20 but cheaper second hand obviously! I bought this book when I was an undergraduate studying postcolonial theory as part of my degree in English Literature. I have since used it while working on my Masters and my Doctorate. It is an excellent source book for all levels of study. First published in 1993, the textbook is introduced and edited by Laura Chrisman and Patrick Williams, both of whom are experienced lecturers in English Literature and in my opinion it is this experience that has led to the creation of such an accessible textbook. As lecturers they know what their students need. Contents: Introduction by Chrisman/Williams: The introduction provides a detailed overview of the main debates and theories to be explored in the body of the book. There is also a short...

Planespotting

Advantages: Excellent location
Disadvantages: Pretty average otherwise

...Wings bar is a bar/restaurant at Newcastle Aero club. I have been there quite a few times over the last few years and have always found it to be a decent place, albeit very quiet most of the time. Getting there = The easiest way to get to Wings bar is via the A1, but even from there it can be tricky to find (which may help to explains? its quietness a lot of the time). From the A1, head down the A696 towards the airport. At the airport roundabout take the third exit, which is the one after the airport and head towards Woolsington. After about a quarter of a mile or so you will see a pub called ?The Wheatsheaf? on a roundabout. Head straight on here and little further on you will see a sign for the Aero Club. Turn left and follow the road round, going through the no entry sign (another possible reason for the quietness...

Popular Roadside Eateries

Advantages: Plenty of Outlets Reasonable Prices
Disadvantages: They Look Alike Not Gourmet Food

...You do not have to travel very far in most parts of the UK and you will come across a Beefeater Inn. They are usualy located on important trunk roads and more often than not are actually converted pubs. In the UK there are currently more than 200 Beafeaters,who are owned by the giant brewing group, Whitbread. To me they have the virtues and the vices of a national chain. Lets kick off with the plus points. Usually the location of them is good.Just taking Kent,for example, there is The Wheatsheaf located at Cliftonville,close to the popular holiday resort of Margate. Move down the coast and you will come across The Plough,conveniently located near Dover. Just a few miles outside my birthplace of Ashford,is The Woolpack at Hothfield. Near the county town of Maidstone in a simply stunning location at Allington Locks, you...

Review of The Wheatsheat, Cliftonville

Good budget comfort

Advantages: Location; Price; Friendly; Comfortable
Disadvantages: Breakfast; No Papers

.... The hotel is situated right next to the Wheatsheaf Pub, and after an initial confusion about which car park we go into (it turns out you can use either) we rolled up to the reception desk, with a very friendly welcome, and found the booking had been recorded perfectly. Strangely I had to pay straight away, rather than on leaving, but 2 minutes later and we were in the room. What can you say about a Premier Travel Inn room? Basic but comfortable just about covers it. The two beds were large enough (I'm 6'3") with plenty of room round about, and a large desk with big TV (with all terrestrial channels) and coffee & tea making facilities. The bathroom, again, was perfectly clean, white-tiled, with a shower over bath. And again it was of a very good size. As we came and went (out to the match, back, then out again, then back in in the small...

Review of Premier Travel Inn Newcastle - Airport (South), Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Say Hello to Baslow!

Advantages: Pretty village on the edge of the Peak District
Disadvantages: Need a sunny day to appreciate it.

...expensive, but apparently well worth it for the service and pampering! Fischer's Baslow Hall (which I mentioned earlier) is also in the higher price bracket, but is also apparently well worth it if you can afford it. There are a few holiday cottages and guest houses around and about, but I would probably recommend staying outside the village if you want something a bit cheaper - Bubnells Cliff Farm just outside the village or the Rutland Arms, for example, do B&B for quite a bit less than the big hotels. There is also a caravan site near Nether End, but I have never stayed there. For a meal or snack I would recommend the Goose Green Tea Rooms, the Rutland Arms, the Devonshire Arms or the Wheatsheaf. The Tea Rooms has nice views of the village green and does a good selection of hot and cold food - it's also open seven days a week which...

Review of Baslow, Derbyshire

Never judge a place by the entrance

Advantages: Excellent for days out
Disadvantages: Limited toilets

...~~~~~~~~ Virginia Waters Surrey ~~~~~~~~~~~ For many years we have been to this place and never really appreciated it for its actual beauty. Virginia Waters is situated on the main A30 just outside of Egham and Sunningdale. The park is part of the The Crown Estate which for many years has belonged to the Royal Family. This particular park has been established since 1066, in the 1700's an artificial lake was introduced which now is the main focal point and an excellent way to walk of those extra pounds and wear the children out. The only disadvantage of this place is the lack of toilets and the parking fee which is £3.00 but, when you break it down it usually takes us a good 3-4 hours to walk round, and longer if we take a football and a picnic. The first toilets are in the Old Wheatsheaf Pub which is an excellent...
