Try Durham - or Barnard Castle. Both are about the same distance from Yarm - and apparently they're both "in" places to visit these days, even during lockdown

And you're right, Lebaneat is very good - well, the one is Durham is anyway - I had a lovely meal there a while back: great service, lovely food, and very reasonable prices

What is this talk of 'places' where you go and eat. I have a vague memory of such things, but was uncertain whether it was a real thing or just a fantasy. Is there an escape from this reality?

Just head for Hackney where my #1 son lives..... Pubs are open too, though their toilets aren't.
