Dicksons Laygate in South Tyneside

Not a single worker was smiling! Who’s not happy to be in an ice cream shop?! The shop was adorable and the ice cream was delicious, but the lack of enthusiasm from the staff was really deflating.

Been a regular for several years now and wouldn't go anywhere else, the food, service and staff is all of a high quality, perfect combination for a great night

Just popped in for a sample of their cod bites and chips,I'm not a big eater so got the kids portion, brilliant as ever, swapped my fruit shoot for a pot of tea , not sure of the price.. under a fiver I think, always great service from all members of staff,a great family run business

Went for Christmas afternoon tea today. Been many times before and it’s always been lovely however today there was a hair imbedded in the scone! The server ( bald headed guy) didn’t apologise or say sorry just said unfortunately these things happen! It really put me off the rest of the tea I actually felt a bit sick, surely an apology wouldn’t have been too much? Not good enough 👎

We visited The Travelling Man for Dinner. The waitress seated us quickly and offered us drink. We had a good look over the the menu and there was a few great options. I opted for the beef brisket with fries and gravy. We waited around 15 minutes for the food to arrive. The meat was very tender and melted in the mouth and accompanied with the fries and gravy, it made for a great filling meal.
