fish and chips are awesome here if you find a good shop,chinese is different cos they mix the vege's in with the meat and indian is not in the same league but if you put a steak or burger on the barbie and invite a few friends you will have a wonderful takeaway. Oh and don't worry about the vinegar you only have to ask for it. As for the mushie peas comment isn't that a Yorkshire thing not Geordie? We also have pizza hutt,mcdonalds,burger king,wendy's and kfc.
