The Skiff
This is a great place if you have been shopping in the Metro centre and just can NOT be bothered to go home and cook. Alternatively, use it as we have been using it- when there is just no way you can get to your kitchen because of building work.
GETTING THERE?
The pub/ restaurant is actually very close to the Metro Centre and if you follow the obvious landmarks of TGI Fridays and Frankie and Benny's, there it is, nestled behind them.
There is plenty of parking around the pub and also just opposite where there is a large car park for the Holiday Inn Express and TGI Fridays. We often parked here and nobody has complained so I assume it's ok.
THE RESTAURANT?
The pub/ restaurant is a relatively old building with a large conservatory on the side?this is the non smoking area, although the actual restaurant is also ...
I'll begin this film review by confessing two things: 1. I've never really been a fan of Eddie Murphy; and 2. At the time of writing this, I've never seen any of the Beverley Hills Cop films.

I thought I would give you my thoughts and tips for getting the best out of a days shopping in this mammoth complex.
Getting there.
*************
I live about an hours drive to the north of the metro centre and usually travel by car. The metro centre is situated about 3 miles south west of Newcastle on the A1.

There are spaces reserved for drivers ...
