Brewers Fayre Wessington in Sunderland

Lovely place for a family meal, the staff are warm and welcoming, great soft play area which is staffed at all times, allowing you peace of mind while the children play. James was very welcoming and ensured we were happy throughout.The food was really tasty and definitely value for money, my husband and I ordered from the carvery while the children had a kids meal from the menu and all of us left with very full bellies!! Looking forward to our next visit. Would highly recommend!

Really friendly bar staff, great casual atmosphere nothing was too much trouble. Clean environment and someone always there to help if needed.

Came for lunch with the kids and friends and we were looked after from start to finish. James aka Phil mitchell, was so lush and couldn't help us enough. Tom was full of cheek as usual haha. Food was lovely and we will be back for sure. Thanx guys xx

Always get a brilliant service from James every time me and my friends are in and brilliant customer service from Ashleigh.

Visited today with the children and the food was lovely ! James the manager was very professional and always makes us feel welcome when we visit

Great customer service food was beautiful great value for price kiddies enjoyed the soft play James never fails to make us feel welcome he always has a big smile on his face definitely be back again soon <:0) x

Have been a few times for toddler morning on Mondays. My little one has really enjoyed it each time and the staff are really friendly. Well worth the money with unlimited adults hot drinks too!

Such a good and positive experience. My little boy had the steak, which was cooked perfectly medium rare. He said the garlic bread was one of the best he’s had. Tom, on the bar, was amazing. Such a good guy. Engaged with Joshua and made us both laugh. Personally brought the frozen yogurt to the table. Will definitely be back!

A great way to end the great day my boys and I were having! Food, the carvery, was lovely. Desserts were 5 star and didn't have to wait long! All the staff were lovely, a special mention to James - the better looking Phil Mitchell 😜 very welcoming and friendly even complimentary...or...has a fetish for glasses!

After a long night laying train tracks I jumped into bed around 6am. I was then woken at 11 by my wife who politely reminded me that we had a family birthday lunch to attend. Feeling tired I wasn't expecting much from the day, Enter James (bar person). This man is a legend among men, obviously sensing my weariness James smile lit up the whole venue on our arrival. Cracking jokes like he was Ricky Gervais hosting the Oscars again, only this time he was dressed like Phil Mitchell. The food was great, the kids enjoyed the soft play and we will definitely be back again. Take a bow James

We come to The Wessington often as our little one enjoys the softplay, we always receive a warm welcome from the staff here regardless of it being busy or not. Louise and Abbie are always friendly and remember our drinks order and ask how we are which is kind of them. Claire and Carla are fantastic with the little ones in the softplay, and take time to chat with the little one and us. This place has a lovely bunch of staff.

Had a really good experience at the wessington James is a great member of staff always makes me welcome every time I visit

Great for families. Soft play keeps little ones entertained. Friendly service with staff who always point you in the right direction.

Food lovely as always, served by Tom who was very friendly, helpful, and funny, will return as it is local always value for money

Tom the barman was very helpful and friendly he has a fun personality which makes customers feel at ease. Food is always great and the apple Betty is amazing!
