Nanny Gs Tearooms in Sunderland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited for afternoon tea this week with a friend. You have a choice of 3 afternoon teas: a traditional, grandad g (savoury such as scotch egg, quiche, sausage roll and a cheese board to replace many of the desserts), and American (with burgers, chicken wings etc rather than the sandwiches). You have to book your afternoon tea in advance and pay a £5 deposit per head which is completely reasonable. We were served very quickly on arriving and the service was good throughout. However the food is the stand out, everything we had was absolutely delicious, all homemade and no faults at all with what we ate. The quantity of food served was huge, with 8 finger sandwiches per person on the traditional afternoon tea! There were 2 scones per person, and a variety of cakes each including a 3 tier slice of gateaux! The staff were happy to provide boxes for us to take leftovers home. I would 100% return for afternoon tea, and also to try more from the menu.

Been here this morning for a healthy breakfast was absolutely delicious we had turkey rashers turkey sausage mushrooms toast egg and tomato served piping hot from lovely friendly staff will be back

Attended a 60th birthday party here, we had the place solely for the party of 15 which was nice, the staff were very pleasent and helpful a relaxing atmosphere then so much food came out for the Grandads afternoon tea which was our choice, a fab selection of sandwiches, hot quiche, sausage rolls and scotch eggs, unusual coatings ie;chilli/black pudding amongst others very tasty, then a rather large slice of cake and to finish off a cheese board with crackers, chutney and grapes. None of us could eat it all but out came boxes and carrier bags to take the rest home, needless to say we were well fed

Visited yesterday with a friend for breakfast, I had the healthy breakfast but naughtily added a couple of hash browns, my friend had the normal breakfast both were lovely. Both breakfasts were £4.95 and came with tea and coffee. Will defo return

Went for afternoon tea with the ladies food was fresh, homemade, no skimping in portions and delicious. I’ve been for many afternoon teas and this was the best yet. Staff are friendly and the place is comfortable and clean. Definitely going back to try the other afternoon tea options. There were cheese scones and more sandwiches but we’d already started eating.

We received this gift from our dear friend Lisa for Christmas. We collected it today and there is a lot of food which was fresh, tasty, looked inviting and very very enjoyable.

I loved my breakfast this morning at nanny g`s shes lovley and warm hearted and always gives a warm welcome to costomers all ages . May I also add the cakes she makes are beyond this world they are all hand made and you can buy special occasions such as birthdays and a great value I got a rainbow sprinkle cake for my birthday with a fondant print and I didnt want to share but I had to :( 12 year old Amber x

Was here yesterday for my daughter in laws hen party we had afternoon tea which was absolutely beautiful the staff couldn’t do enough for you and as I’m shredding for the wedding asked for a slimming world friendly which was no problem so I didn’t miss out everything was home made and fresh well worth the 12.50 we paid which included a glass of prosecco

As a taxi driver I popped in for a QUICK , cheap breakfast to take away in between jobs. 26 minutes later and a £9.40 bill my quick breakfast for one eventually arrive, but it wasn’t for one it was for two ???????, why would I want two breakfasts , so 3 missed jobs later and a near parking ticket I trundled off into the darkness to eat my cheap £9.40 breakfast for 1 ??. The place itself is really nice and I’m sure the people who work there are too, but I will not be going there again unless I have a full day to waste. I just wonder if the people in the cafe relive that I just wanted a QUICK meal as a lot of people are at work that time of the day, but my experience was to be my last one. I understand that the food is cooked from fresh, but I didn’t relish that you had to catch, kill and cook it whilst we waited.

Visited on a Monday in the summer holidays (2018) with 2 adults and 2 children. Staff very friendly and helpful. Big breakfast very good value and sausage sandwich was huge. Food good quality and cooked to each persons taste.

Just been for the best afternoon tea ever at Nanny Gs Tearoom Hilton Road Sunderland. Food was amazing we got Nanny Gs original afternoon tea £12.50 and Grandad Gs afternoon tea £14.50. Mountains of food and freshly made and warmed. Staff were amazing and cafe was beautiful. Couldn't fault a thing defiantly will be going back 5*

It's hard to take mum who is in a home out so afternoon tea is ideal for her and we'd heard a good review from relation on face book. The place is small but welcoming, we started with sandwiches (crusts cut off), then a cheese scone (a large one), it was warm and soft and cheesy, next came a scone (again a large one) with jam and cream. By now we were full but there were cakes to come! The sponge cakes were all 3 tiers of sponge and we were full! Boxes were provided and everything not eaten were boxed to be enjoyed later. Everything was freshly made and scrumptious.

Back visiting family and as promised in my last review of Nanny G's I was going back for tea & cake so on a nice, sunny day off I went to Seaham......only to find that Nanny G had moved location. Well, a quick Google search soon put that right and off I went to Sunderland. I'll admit that the view is not as pretty as the one Nanny G used to have but on the inside of the tearoom, well, it's just charming and chic. There is a wooden booth, a table with chesterfields and a couple of other tables with chairs that you can buy, as well as the paintings/pictures on the wall. The tearoom seats about 15/16 and has a nice feel to it. I love the decor, red and cream walls, with the electric 'wood burning' stove and wooden floor. Also the crockery is a mish mash of fine bone china cups, saucers & plates. It added to the charm of the place for me. The cake stand was right there and full to bursting with cake, raspberry & white chocolate, ferrero rocher, twix, rainbow and lemon. I asked Nanny G where the carrot cake was and she said that it doesn't seem to sell so well there. What????? Come on people....Nanny G's carrot cake is amazing so get in there and start asking for it!!! So, I settled for twix cake.......it was yummy BUT I did have to take it away as I had a burger and it wasn't small...... The menu is pretty much as I remembered it, all day breakfasts, toasties, sandwiches, paninis, jacket pots and the burgers. I had the pork and black pudding burger, not at all dry, just really moist and delicious, served with salad garnish and chunky fries. I was stuffed afterwards but pleasantly so. While I was there, there was a family of four having afternoon tea. I can't comment on the taste as I haven't had one but the family certainly had loads to choose from, something like four courses......sandwiches and sausage rolls, cheese scone, fruit scone with jam & cream and then a cake stand.....Blimey! They left with a few takeaway containers. I believe that the afternoon teas get great reviews and I can see why....my next visit down I might just have to attempt it. It might be in a new location but the service was top notch and food just excellent, cake still to die for.....Good luck Nanny G and don't be moving again.....!!

We popped in for a rare breakfast treat and we weren't disappointed. We ordered 2 big breakfasts with a tea and coffee. As everything was cooked to order, there was a little wait which we didn't mind. Once the food arrived it was delicious. 2 has browns, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, black pudding, beans, mushrooms and tomato (had the choice of tinned or fresh) PLUS 2 slices of door wedge buttered toast. The decor is lovely and I love to eternal beau crockery. Staff are very friendly and very attentive. The only negative was the lack of heating but maybe it was because we went when it had just opened. I can only comment on how the breakfasts were and I give them a hug thumbs up. I shall be returning soon to sample to lunchtime menu AND the cake selection. The cakes looked amazing in the display cabinet!

Yay for Nanny G ! What a hidden treasure this place is . Tucked towards the end of the street , nestled in amongst tattoo parlours, second hand shops and takeaways . Do not be fooled by this venues location , once you step through the door , a wonderful world of home baked food , served with love awaits ! We booked in , early booking advised to avoid disappointment , and were given a generous two hour slot . We ordered unlimited tea , pots of , for mother and sister , I had a tea pot full of piping fresh coffee . I like my coffee and this was good coffee . The crockery is a delightful mish mash of bone China cups and saucers . Beautiful serving platters that wouldn’t look out of place in your nanas China cabinet . It fits in with the laid back vibe , it’s not pretentious , but fun and quirky . The walls and shelves are adorned with individual pieces crafted by locals that can be purchased at reasonable prices , my favourite was the , “not Shaun the sheep ,”tea cosy . We embarked upon our three course afternoon tea , starting with a selection of home cooked sausage rolls , sandwiches and cheeses . Beautiful soft bread , not stale or soggy . As the only vegetarian I got to feast on garlic cheese pinwheels , cheese savoury sandwiches , home made cheese rolls and of course , no afternoon tea would be complete without tuna and cucumber on brown . Mam and sister had beef and blue cheese sandwiches , sausage rolls along with cheese cubes and tuna and cucumber sandwiches . All served on a cake stand garnished with rocket and tomato’s . Second course was hot buttery scones . Served with plenty of butter , the cheese scones were flecked with plenty of good quality strong cheese . I’ve never tasted cheese scones so cheesy , outstanding ! The fruit scones came with preserve and clotted cream . I’m not one for fruit scones but these were delicious , rich and buttery with plump fruit . I couldn’t do anything but scoff the lot ! If you are wondering , jam first then clotted cream . Finally , we were served lemon posset , caramel shortbread and individual strawberry tarts and a choice of a slice of gigantic cake . Cake choices were , carrot , bounty , toblerone , chocolate and lemon . I went for bounty , but alas I am unable to report on the taste . As at the time of writing I was unable to sample , I am just too full up . Nanny kindly supplies containers to take home anything you are unable to finish . I can say the cake looks rich and moist . I will look forward to eating it , but need a few hours to let the rest of the feast settle . Coming in at £12.50 a head , with a free gift for the mother , you cannot be robbed . I would gladly have paid £15-£20 for the meal . After all , afternoon tea is a treat and this delivered in taste in abundance . Nanny also serves other food and had a very interesting sounding home made burger selection . I’ll be back to give the burgers a whirl as she makes her own sweet potato and chickpea veggie burgers . It’s nice , as a veggie , to have something that hasn’t just come out the freezer from the cash & carry . When I eat out I don’t want to think , I could have bought that from Iceland and made it at home ! You have the option of takeaway afternoon tea , or even to have your afternoon tea delivered to you , complete with crockery and linen . They also cater for children’s parties , I’m sure they’d host any celebration . Nanny g’s is a welcome addition to Sunderland and I wish this lovely lady every success for her and he family . I hope you’ll go visit , if you do , make sure to ring ahead and reserve your table , you won’t be disappointed and that’s a promise . See you soon nanny , I’ll be sure to starve myself beforehand so I can eat all of your tasty food . Thankyou .

Food was lovely! Not badly priced at all! Very worth it and the people were lovely in there, space was quite tight but overall it was brilliant! Very cute lil tea room indeed.

Visited today, friendly and helpful owner. Selection of cakes was fabulous, all fresh and home made. My husband had burger and chips which he described as "best ever". Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend
