Took my mum in for dinner and was frankly blown away by what we got. Excellent well cooked food created by a chef who obviously cared passionately about what they do. Everything was truly home made and lived up to being exactly that. Brilliant friendly staff and excellent value for money. Definitely one to go for a drive and find, especially for the views over the harbour

Very generous portions. We got chicken Kiev and Cajun chicken burger, both had very large butterfly chicken breasts. Most dishes come with salad and chips. Chips were quite plain (no salt or flavour). Overall decent pub grub, staff are helpful and quick with table service provided. This pub is dog friendly.

WOW!!! I can only suggest that you don't eat on the day you go to the HARBOUR LIGHTS. The portions are huge & well cooked. I had the Mixed Grill & my wife had the Rump Steak. Both meals were well prepared & Claire who took the order was 1st class. Michael brought the food to the table & said enjoy WE DID ENJOY. If you have not been to The Harbour Lights Inn for a meal I suggest you try them as soon as possible. 1st class service from excellent staff & the food is tremendous. Philip & Marion Dudgeon.

First time visit since Michael Ward took over & to be honest the food was excellent. I don't think that Portion Control is part of the vocabulary as the mixed grill was MASSIVE & cooked perfectly. Great service from Claire. Highly recommended & my honest opinion is first class & you will struggle to clear your plate.

Unfortunately my sister booked a table for seven under her first name Ann, so when a party of seven with an Ann in their number they thought that was us. Consequently, our party had lost our reservation. However after only a couple of minutes they provided us with a substitute table. The food was fantastic very tasty and vast portions. Be wary of the mixed grill absolutely delicious but so much food I couldn't finish. Would have no hesitation in recommending this pub to anyone and everyone.

3 of is went there while visiting south shields on the basis of good reviews. Having been there in the past and remembering it being a bit grubby, what a transformation. Its bright and tastefully furnished. The food was fantastic value, the fish and chips was huge, well cooked and the fish fresh. The pie of the day ( lamb and mint) was packed with chunks of lamb and pastry a cross between suet and short. Desserts were a blast from the past, a clever idea! My own criticism would be lack of any draft beer, but the food more than made up for it.

It's a nice pub with a good atmosphere and really friendly staff but, unfortunately, the reason we visited was for food (Sunday lunch, in our case) and it was a letdown. Who serves mushy peas with a roast dinner?! The chicken was super dry, so dry it was inedible, and the beef was disappointing too. The sticky toffee pudding was warm on one side and still cool on the other.

You had to know this place was there because it's fairly well hidden. Went there early eve around 5pm midweek for a dinner, service was very good, they carry a cider I like so it was looking good. I had the burger, my partner had the roast pork. Mine was OK, very filling, even left some chips, my partners pork meal was also good but she would of liked some more veg and possibly apple sauce? A nice clean well presented gastro pub well worth the climb up the steps.

Headed to Harbour Lights for a breakfast, we were given a table at the large windows overlooking the Tyne and North Sea. We ordered two full English breakfasts with tea and orange juice. It didn’t take very long to arrive and it was everything we needed. Great service with no fuss. Got to say this is total value for money and we will definitely be back for more. I might attempt the Belly Buster next time

Reserved a table for 3 people and 2 dogs ordered 2 starters and 3mains all the food was freshly cooked and delicious the cheese burger was delicious according to my daughter and the sea bass was delicious I had the fish and chips and peas I didn't realise they did a small fish until they brought out a (small) portion on the next table (it definitely wasn't small) when mine came I knew it was going to be a struggle even though it was delicious. We had to ask for half to be wrapped up to later be eaten by 2 very eager spaniels. I will definitely be going back in the very near future the whole experience /food /service /price was fantastic thank you Sam and Andy

An aspirational menu that never really delivers. The food promises a lot but in reality we found it to be mean in their portions and use of ingredients. A couple of items were unavailable on the day of our visit too. And to add to the disappointment one of the plates was very old and the milk jug was chipped. Hardly a very inspiring start. In addition, the whole dining area was just a little grubby on the walls and windowsills. We were seated next to tall pot plant which keeled over every time we brushed past it! As we dined we observed a poor woman sit on a chair which broke! Finally, as a person with hearing loss the acoustics of the place is difficult, it is extremely echo-y and noisy, and not really a place where you can have a conversation. Coffee was great, food very mediocre and mean and the ambience was poor, so we won’t be back.
