The Biddick in Sunderland

Visited the Biddick Inn for a family gathering and we were not disappointed. The food and service were amazing as always, especially as we were a very large group. We were very well looked after with the staff checking in on a regular basis to make sure everything was as it should be. If you’re looking for amazing service and top notch service, this is the place to go.

Fantastic service, fantastic food.👏

We chose the steak night deal and were very impressed by the quality of food especially the steak which was cooked to perfection. Its excellent value for money and the service was great as usual. Highly recommend.

Great food, atmosphere and service, very helpful staff 👍

Staff friendly and professional and lovely food

By far the best Sunday lunch iv ever had the food was amazing the staff were 10/10. Deffo be back and 1 hundred percent will be recommending.

Thursday night date night. 2 x Steak and 2 x dessert and a bottle of wine. Food was outstanding and the service 1st class. Will definitely be back .

Had really nice meals as a party of 4 with one gluten free, great choice, lovely food

Excellent food and service. We had the steak night special which was fantastic value as well as top quality. There were four if us ( two couples) and we all had our steaks cooked differently and they were all exactly how we wanted them. The included bottles of house wine were very nice, as were the desserts. The serving staff were very helpful and welcoming. We will certainly be back.

We were in the area for the weekend and managed to book a table online after reading great reviews. We were not disappointed - well presented, perfectly cooked food and friendly attentive service. The lounge had a lovely atmosphere for an evening, and we’ll definitely be back if we’re nearby again.

Fabulous place, Sunday lunch was beautiful

The food was very good especially for Sunday lunch. Being seniors they have a half portion option which is great as this allows a starter or sweet without waste of food. We will be visiting again .

Fantastic food , great staff , fun time

Excellent food and service. Looking forward to our next visit.

Really surprised at how good it was

Lovely place to have a meal. Nice atmosphere and professional staff. 4 of us went for steak night. Great price. Only £35 for two people! Steak and wine was excellent. Apple pie desert was really good. No rush to get you out either.10 out of 10.

Excellent food and service. Only issue was beside door which was cold but blankets were provided

Food very good. Service even better!! Never had a bad meal here.

Lovely Monday night meal with my niece. Thanks to the chef for his special hot chocolate too.

The restaurant is not what you expect from the outside with really modern decoration. Service was really quick and all the staff were friendly and polite. Food was delicious! We all had roast dinners, 1 normal, 2 small adults and 1 kids meal. Such good value for money with generous portions. Will definitely be back again.

Overall great service and huge portion.

Fabulous food served in a pleasant environment with exceptional service. Would definitely return and would not hesitate to recommend . Thankyou to all, we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.

Had a beautiful steak meal to celebrate our son's birthday, and will be enjoying the leftovers today for lunch😀 Excellent, friendly service and a great atmosphere (as always).

Sunday Lunch, really nice, such friendly staff

Came here for Sunday lunch. Ordered one pork dinner and one chicken dinner. Both were supposed to come with stuffing and arrived without - I told the waiter and was informed that they had ran out of it. We also realised that there was no crackling that was supposed to come with the pork dinner, which was also frustrating. We were offered a free round of drinks to make up for whole thing which was appreciated. However after we received the drinks the staff were nowhere to be seen. No one came back to clear the plates away or even ask whether we would like dessert, which just added to the frustration. After a little while we just got up to pay and then left. The place is nice and the rest of what we ate was nice - I think this was probably just a one off experience which wasn't great, so unsure whether we'd be back.

Gorgeous Sunday lunch. Staff super nice.

This was our 3rd time at the restaurant and service was great, as usual. Food was delicious, we had garlic mushrooms and salt and pepper squid for starters, which were both perfectly cooked. Our mains were also delicious. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back. Thanks for the great meal and service!

Excellent food and knowledgeable staff

Your made to feel very welcome, we took our dog who also received treats from the staff.. great night food was ample and so delicious we did the steak night for 2, you could still choose from main menu too.

Excellent service and a lovely atmosphere with very kind waiters. I ordered the chicken roast which came very quickly and was delicious. I would definitely come back here and would highly recommend this place to anyone considering going.

Great food: lots of choice and well presented. Great service: our server really took the time to understand the allergies two of our group had. Very friendly without being too obvious or intrusive. Will definitely be back 😀

Excellent Sunday lunch. All 5 of us agreed it was the best we’ve had in a long time.

The food and the service was excellent will definitely visit again

First visit and won't be the last. Food absolutely amazing. So many things we wanted to try. So will definitely be back to try them all. Amazing atmosphere and all the staff were so friendly.

Excellent service with a smile couldn’t do enough , all our dishes were amazing very nice food and all round experience

Had dinner with friends last night 14th Sept at Biddick Italian Bistro. We had loved previous menu so were a little unsure what to expect. We need not have worried as we all had a lovely meal served by very pleasant and efficient staff. We will return.

Whilst there was a slight delay with my table the staff were fantastic in keeping me happy and once seated the Food was fantastic. The owner and staff were all so polite and ensured everything was catered for 👏

Great food mixes grill is a decent size too much for some, staff are very good

Good value meals and home cooked

The food is second to none! Service fabulous. 👏👏

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Such a warm welcome and good value for money too. First time here since it became the Italian Bistro but will definitely become one of our go to places to visit

First time here and can't find any faults. We had the Sunday lunch. The food was served quickly, it was delicious and there was plenty of it. The staff were polite and friendly, and the restaurant was bright and clean. We will definitely be returning.

Words can't describe how much I enjoyed The Biddicks food. Service should be better but otherwise great experience, we'll be back

I brought my sister and best friend to the Biddick today and our experience was exceptional. The roast dinner was hands down the best I’ve ever had; the mash was so creamy and delicious, and the lamb was melt in the mouth. We could tell that so much effort and care was put into the preparation of the food, as it is truly food for the soul. The customer service was impeccable. I couldn’t recommend the Biddick Italian Bistro highly enough, it’s a must visit location. Thank you for the incredible experience, we left with happy tummies and big smiles on our faces ❤️

Great all round. Fantastic food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness. Couldn’t fault it. 5.*+

Great service, good atmosphere, lovely food. We were asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions whilst taking our order. Very impressed. Will definitely return and try the impressive menu.

It was really good the food was great and the service was unbelievable the desserts were really good the staff were really helpful and kind and it deserves a five star brilliant.

The food was absolutely delicious.The staff were really friendly and helpful. We booked for 6.30pm and happy hour had just finished but they allowed us to still get the happy hour deal. My son couldn't finish all of his food so they very kindly put it in a take away carton for him. The restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere. I can't fault anything as me and my son had such a lovely time. We would definitely recommend visiting. Thank you to all the staff. Rating *****plus

Scored atmosphere low because we had picked a quiet time so hard to guage the atmosphere But food and service top draw

Lovely Sunday lunch and the staff are all very cheerful.

The food and service is fantastic

Food was lovely, generous portions, and staff spot on, will definitely be back.

Excellent Sunday Lunch for a very reasonable price. A pleasant atmosphere, tasty food and attentive & efficient service. Highly recommended.

Lovely lunch, very good value for money, but why charge for extra gravy????

Lovely Sunday lunch, good size portion and value for money. Would definitely recommend

Nice Saturday lunch again ! Everyone was delighted with their food.

We were a table of twelve, the staff were very well organised and food was good. Would recommend it.

Food was stunning. The serving staff were great but there was a a long time from arriving to ordering food and receiving food. Waited a very long time for drinks. However it was extremely busy and the staff were lovely and friendly and did very will under pressure. Would certainly come back. Great to see a local business doing so well.

The most amazing Sunday lunch! Quality AND quantity AND value for money! Excellent quick service, go here regularly and fully recommend.

Great food, excellent service and nice atmosphere would highly recommend .

Lovely food, great customer service. Very friendly.

Came here for my husband’s 50th birthday . Service was fantastic and the restaurant went out of their way to make it a really good evening for my husband x food was excellent x thoroughly recommend x

Old country pub which serves food. In need of an update although food area quite popular.

Booked for steak night -food was lovely, service was excellent, lovely chilled atmosphere and great value- we will definitely be back - also new extensive menu with lots of choice.

Lovely place, lovely atmosphere and amazing gluten free options! We are extremely lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep!

Visited for steak night and was not disappointed. Food amazing. Service brilliant. We will be back.

The food is so so good and the staff are super friendly

New extensive menu with delicious food and excellent service - would highly recommend

Staff great Food top notch After meal has a drink in the garden Will be visiting again

Pre-booked food night before and restaurant was ready for us, served food quickly and efficiently. Food was plentiful and very tasty (had the mixed meat) only downside beef a bit chewy bit otherwise perfect. The side room was lacking in atmosphere thou. Would definitely recommend 👌

The restaurant has a lovely decor and the staff were very friendly and attentive. It was a little quiet on the day we visited. The menu was an excellent read and raised expectations, however, I personally, felt the food didn't live up to the expectations. I would add that other people in the group were more satisfied.

A party of 4 for the Steak Night. We were all really pleased with our steak meals, good options on the menu, generous portion of chunky chips! Nice to be able to choose dessert from any of those listed on the main menu too. Service really efficient and very friendly and a great atmosphere.

I visited with my son and it was about 16.45 so it was quite quiet at the time, but the staff where very helpful and when the starter we requested was off the menu, the manager made an alternative suggestion which was delicious

Fantastic music venue with great atmosphere and great food.

Beautiful dinner staff were amazing great service 😋

Booked a table for 9 to celebrate my son's 30th birthday and I'm so glad we did! Nothing was a problem for the staff, they were so friendly and helpful at every step of the way. We were able to take decorations for the table (which we dropped off earlier in the day and they arranged for us), and also take our own birthday cake. They provided us with plates and cutlery for the cake too, even though they have a desert menu. The food was beautiful, we pre-ordered as we were a large group. Everyone enjoyed their food, which was tasty, hot and plentiful. The staff were so friendly I can't fault a single thing. Thank you for a fantastic meal!

Recently renovated, it offers unusual dishes around here. The squid needs to be improved, too hard. Abundant dishes, taking care of the presentation. Very professional waiters

Lovely pub! But didn't make the best choice from the menu.

We had the pleasure of having Afternoon Tea at The Biddick today. On entering, we were greeted by a very pleasant member of staff called Jenna. Both the bar and restaurant were furnished to a very high standard and were immaculately clean. The Afternoon Tea was amazing - far more than we had expected, and the quality was excellent - all made by the chef at the restaurant. There was a good variety of sandwiches, two types of scone (with lashings of jam and cream) plus an amazing selection of sweet dishes - sticky toffee pudding, Apple pie with caramel topping and a large chocolate brownie with garnish that was the best we have ever had. There also several macaroons to finish off! All the staff were very pleasant and helpful, with Jenna making sure that everything was to our liking. We also had the pleasure of meeting the manager, Lorenzo, who also was very friendly. We fully intend to return!

Only went in for a drink but the set up was very impressive and hope to go back to try the food soon

Top notch in all departments, will be visiting again and again

One of the best restaurants in Washington village! A true hidden gem! The cocktails are really unique, taste amazing and you know you're getting your moneys worth with the happy hour 2 for £15. I went in to try the new summer menu and was thoroughly impressed by the selection and quality of food! I had the cannelloni pasta and my partner had the stuffed bell pepper, they were great at catering to his allergies, felt safe to eat here and would defo come back, looking to try the steak night on a Wednesday. Also the fresh homemade tiramisu was one of the best I have ever had!

Food good, service quick for Sunday lunch. Varied menu. I only marked it down because there was too much gravy. Car park attached.spacious seating. Recommend.

Lovely food. Service second to none. 100% recommend.

Lovely food smart clean staff service great couldn’t fault anything.

Came with my grandma for lunch and the service from start to finish was phenomenal, such a lovely atmosphere and the nicest food I’ve had in years from any pub just topped it all off!! Highly recommend

Fabulous food, we've been twice now, once on Tuesday for the Asian night, and again on a Thursday for the Sushi night, both meals had really good sized portions. I can thoroughly recommend them.

We visited for the Asian Tapas evening, as a group of four, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We were asked as soon as we were seated if any of us had any allergies or special dietary requirements, then we were left to make our choices from the menu. The food was excellent and plentiful and the staff were friendly and very attentive throughout the evening. We will definitely return soon.

Asian night 2x £40 excellent really recommended it

We visited the Biddick as a party of three for the first time on an evening mid-week. It was easy to find with plenty of parking and lovely decor. We chose our food from the "January Specials" menu; three courses for the set price of £16pp and we were not disappointed - the food was excellent. For starters, my party chose the potato skins and the smoked salmon roulade. All were generously proportioned and delicious. For mains, we had beef stroganoff with rice and my wife opted for the gammon steak - delicious again and of very high quality. Desserts followed - one sticky toffee pudding and two "desserts of the day" - lemon cheesecake - wow! The service was efficient and friendly throughout. All in all, we were very impressed with the quality of the food and value for money! Highly recommended. We'll be back!

Lovely dog friendly bar, great selection of drinks, very friendly service from Lorenzo and his team. Food is always good and really like the way they encourage community activity. We'll done !!!
