Lovely staff and banging food. Had fish and chips - very delicious and value for money. The wife had a very generous serving of salmon. Not many better places to get scran in South Tyneside. I just wish we lived closer.

Quite possibly the best fish finger sandwich I’ve ever had. Massive fish Goujon was about half the size of my partners Cod, but the tartare sauce and toasted Ciabatta just made it. Combined with a good side salad, coleslaw and a big portion of homemade chips for a tenner this is outstanding. I added a side of homemade beer battered onion rings for £4 expecting to get 3 or 4 and there was a full tray of about 12 served 😮 Fantastic value for money. Everyone left full and happy!

Thankyou Jan and your team for the amazing food and friendly atmosphere I received when my son Darren brought me to your pub for Mother’s Day lunch . We were greeted immediately by a member of staff who showed us to our seats and asked if we wanted to order drinks . When the drinks were brought to the table she took our order for food and it was severed piping hot within minutes . The meat ( Beef and Ham) were cooked to perfection ,served with a huge Yorkshire pudding ,roasted and mashed potatoes and turnip ,then 3 dishes of vegtables served separately . I was going to skip desert but couldn’t resist when I seen home made apple crumble and custard /ice cream were on the menu . This was delicious. I would highly recommend to book and if you are lucky you may get a window seat to look at the amazing views of South Shields coast .

Amazing food. Huge portions. I had the sirloin steak. It came with Diane sauce, mushrooms, tomato, chips, salad and black pudding. It was perfectly cooked and really tasty. My husband had the parmo… he was heartbroken when it deafeated him and he couldn’t finish it. Special mention to the best chips ever!

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.

I have visited the harbour twice, both for a full English. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is attentive and friendly. The value for money with portions and an included coffee (filtered) is welcome. I attended at 11:01, breakfasts finished at 11:00 and they accommodated me which is unusual these days. The first time I had a breakfast there it was faultless, and I expect is the norm, however as I attended a little late on this occasion one of the sausages was inedible, it had been stood for a while and was an over cooked. hard, crusty sausage the rest was lovely. Beans separate (which is important to my missus) and better on a full English imo.

We last came here for a Sunday roast, and it was amazing. Things have changed though. Everything we had was overcooked and bland. The potato skin starter is fantastic, and I should have stopped there. The last time I had the belly pork, it was a long strip with probably the best skin I had ever had on pork belly. This time, all of ours were almost inedible. Three people got the chicken and it was very dry. It was like sawdust in the middle. Two people got the beef and it was very difficult to even cut. The veg were very bland and overcooked. There was some carrot mush thing that was not great. I would rather have smaller portions of very good food than a lot of overcooked bland food. I know a lot of people in the UK like their food like this and cook like this, so you might love it if that's your style. The place is also extremely hot, like uncomfortably hot. The service, however is fantastic. All the waitresses worked very hard and provide excellent service.

What a fantastic meal Crispy Porkbelly served with sweet chilli sauce, roasted potatoes and caramelised onion. Out of this world absolutely fantastic exactly what it said on the board. I loved it. Just spontaneously popped in for a meal and excellent service and food. My partner had the fish cakes they too were all home made and fishy too. We will be back…..what a pub!

Got a treat off our daughter and our soon to be son in law for my birthday, had a reserved table, which I thought was very nice, started off with some drinks which was perfect, then we ordered our meal it was delicious I had hunters chicken which was gorgeous, we all had a loved meal finished off with a drink overall I rate this place 10/10 you have to go to visit such a lovely place.

This is a fantastic spot to enjoy a big meal that leaves you with plenty to take home. The portions are generous, making you feel satisfied with your purchase. The staff are lovely and always go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. The ambiance is pleasant, with a cosy fire keeping the place warm. I’ve witnessed this place change hands many times, but I believe the current manager will truly make it thrive. However, I was a bit surprised not to be informed that the meat is Halal. I only learned this through a chat with a staff member while I was there. I think it’s important to have clear signage for religious-specific food, so everyone is aware of what they’re eating.

My partner has the traditional breakfast which was 2 of the above plus mushrooms and Tomato's. He said it's the best breakfast he has had in a long time. He also has a pint of cruzecampo and I also had a small coke. The total bill was around £18 amazing for what we got and the quality in the food.

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.

Visitamos en una concurrida tarde de Viernes Santo después de haber reservado una mesa más temprano en el día. A pesar de lo ocupados que estaban no tuvimos que esperar mucho para pedir (se pide en el bar) y la comida se entregó bastante rápido. Disfrutamos del filete de gammon, hamburguesa wagyu y ternera cocinada lentamente. Todo bien presentado y sabroso. Muy razonable precio también. Esperamos volver cuando llegue la próxima vez en la zona.
