Meeting up with my student sister for a Sunday lunch catch-up, I decided to show her where I spent my time as an undergraduate - the local pub.
Sunday dinners at The Blue Bell in Jesmond Vale were a great way to ease a hangover when I was a regular 10 years ago, but I wanted to know how they compared today.
And it also gave me the opportunity to make sure my sister was eating something slightly more nutritious than Pot Noodle or pasta.
