Mat Ankers

"This is a fantastic location and one of the most unusual places in the north east for dining. Food is fantastic and the service excellent (David the restaurant manager was particularly excellent.)"

"Walk from the castle to the cathedral and just after the library on the right hand side there is a cut which takes you along the river to the old bridge. Loop back round up the bailey"

"Free wifi - code is on the menu. Ploughmans lunch is fantastic with home made chutney and coleslaw. Cheese scones are great too"

"The hot sweetcorn shop in the middle of town is great, Carluccios does the best hot chocolate, drink in watching the world out of the big window at the front overlooking haven green"

"One of the better BPP sites - coffee machines tend to actually work"
