    Try Coffee Bean Roasters in Guildford. Roasted to order fresh coffee. – Redber Coffee

    They are cheaper than Pumphreys ....

    Yes, it doesn't get as many salmon as The Tyne does, that's the top salmon river in England, but it gets a decent run. Even The Tees gets a run now.

    Durham City is the finest place I have ever poached salmon. The River Wear just in front of the passport office has loads of them from August to the end of October.

    In Durham? They couldn't even start to spell that word (neither can you either, but we will gloss over that) let alone expect their customers to pronounce it.

    Since I moved from the North East down to the deep south of West Yorkshire there is only one thing I had to keep getting from back home. Pumphreys coffee, roasted and blended across the river from the site of The Blaydon Races. The Italian High Roast is superb, we get a couple of kilos of these beans and try some of the other more exotic types, Yemen Matari is dreadful, every three weeks or so.

    If you like good coffee have a look.
    Ta for that!

    I started using 50% coffee and 50% chicory coffees these days, thanks to panic attacks. Will give them a bell to see if they can do a blend for me.

    Probably too far for BDI to drive, even for a cheap pizza.....

    And 2 for £7 is a great deal. Feeds the family 3 nights. They can even heat their slice up over the candle on days 2 and 3 if they're that way inclined.
