If you like Italian I recommend going to Santanas in cradlewell, great food and very good value for money.
Best curry house in the North East, is the Kismet in Whitley Bay, I know me currys, as I lived in Leicester for many years and the Kismet is as good as any there.
Stowell street is rammed full of chinkys and they are all about the same, so take your pick.
Best fish and chips, go to Coastline, on the beach, just south of Blyth, feckin lush.
