Twin Farms Sir John Fitzgerald

Go regularly for lunch. This week had, as usual, something from the lunch menu. Prices are much the same as alway but now they are served without chips, so in effects a large price rise! for a small piece of focaccia bread with a few vegetables on top is a bit beyond the pale. Never mind, we can just vote with our feet!

This place has always been fantastic for Sunday lunch but today it was overpriced for poorer quality, tasteless food. Thin gravy which used to be thick and tasty, dry pork and tasteless veg (not much of it either and under the meat which was awful. The staff didn’t care that we hadn’t enjoyed our meals at all so after years of eating here, I won’t be back until I hear it’s back to how it used to be.

Twin farms is my friends local pub and is a lovely place. It's vey traditional inside with stone walls and floors and wooden furniture. They do a lovely sunday dinner with the best turnip I have ever tasted (and cannot for the life of me recreate and fabulous yorkshire puddings! The food is lovely and the menu is quite varied and is reasonably priced at around or for a main course. Drinks are reasonable and they sell a variety of beers. It's a cosy place, perfect for a cosy date, or catch up with friends and would highly recommend for a Sunday dinner! The beer garden is lovely on a sunny afternoon!

This is where we go for a meal when we want to be confident of the quality and range. It's a particularly safe bet to take the parents there's always something for the most conservative tastes on the menu, but plenty to satisfy the more adventurous eater too. They do quite of lot of dishes with an oriental influence which I always enjoy. The service is consistently friendly, even in the mad frenzy of partying and celebration that is New Years Eve on Tyneside.The actual building is very attractive. It looks like an old farmhouse but in fact is newly constructed on the site of an old farm.

We often come here for lunch. This week, we ordered something from the lunch menu as usual. The prices haven't changed much, but now they don't come with chips, so it feels like a significant price hike! Paying a high price for a small piece of focaccia bread with a few small snacks on the side seems excessive. However, we can always choose to take our business elsewhere.
