The County in South Tyneside

Ian is the single best cook in South Shields. Makes amazing scran.

Could not get parked, awful place to try and get parked, did not look inviting due to lots of people standing outside to smoke

We popped in for an unexpected family lunch. Staff we very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Food was amazing. There is something for everyone. I would highly recommend a visit

Had a burger was huge and tasted lovely,staff were friendly and my dog got a treat !

Really enjoying visiting this friendly pub , great atmosphere and really good food. Definitely my go to place to eat and watch the football.

Great food cooked by Kayleigh and great service by our server Zak will be back for the chicken gyros flat bread. Went above and behind with the service

Our Server Zak was brilliant and very attentive, always happy to help you with a smile on his face. Food on the other hand was really tasteful, pleasantly displayed and pipping hot. My nephews kids meal was loaded with plenty vegetables (which you rarely see now for the little ones) Props to Chef Kayleigh

Came here for food and the quiz night, always have a great time! Staff are lovely Christie and Zak, very pleasant and attentive

The food was unbelievable, came really quick and the staff were very friendly. Thank you to the Chef Kayleigh, and the server Zak

I have heard ,it is still full of liars,thieves ,food brill though

Great food and friendly service thanks to Zac and chef Kayleigh Been a regular lunch spot for a long time and never disappointed

Just had fish&chips delivered and must say it’s the best fish Iv had in a long time absolutely beautiful will be ordering again thank you 👌

Good food at a good price, nice place lots of seats - efficient staff, would recommend.

Fantastic place to go with family and fiends staff are amazing food unreal very clean shout out to Christie assistant manger and barman. Jack highly recommended

Good atmosphere, good food can't complain. Recommended

Exceptional service on a very busy day. We popped in here after the Great North Run as it was the nearest pub to our camp site for the weekend and didn't have the energy to walk any further. It was PACKED, but we were lucky enough to get a table that someone was just leaving. The staff were brilliant. On my many visits to the bar, I never waited more than a minute to be served. We also ate here and were all very happy with the choices on the menu and quality of our meals. If I lived nearer, I'd make this my local for sure. O, and it looks like a cracking place to watch sport on tv as there are screens covering all the bars.

For all I've not eaten here yet, when I'm there I see plenty of food going out to customers and lots of empty plates going back so it must be gold. Drinks reasonably priced could be a tad better but with a loyalty card per visit and clicking up x amount of them you get a free drink. Service is spot on staff are friendly and helpful as well as patient especially during busy times.

Food was good hot good portion size childrens menu was a good size Our server Christey was lovely really helpful friendly patient with us because we had a large order (12 people). Atmosphere was nice lively and fun. I woulf recommend this pub for a nice meal. There is one issue it is a dog friendly pub which was clearly signed the problem was the dogs were allowed in the childrens area where food was being eaten

We come here often for the footy , always a good atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. Can’t wait for the season to start again.

Very friendly, very reasonably priced drinks and plenty space. Loads of TVs for sport including one in the beer garden. A shields classic

Passing through on our way to North Shields. First time in here. 2 cocktails were great, barman nothing but helpful even carried our drinks. We’ll be back.

Great to see 3 staff working the bar on a Thursday. Always trying their best but this was easy for lads. We’ll done keep it up. Drinks and bait both fantastic as always.

We came in on Wednesday when it was very busy without booking a table, there was 9 of us and the blonde manager on shift sorted us a table and helped with our group on vouchers. The food was gorgeous and service was great! We will be coming back

Had my dog there today,because i was a seldom customer the bar staff choose to ignore me and served me last,,be keeping clear of your apparently dog friendly pub in future,

Great pub but sometimes seriously under staffed hopefully will get better.

Friendly staff, great food and drinks, good atmosphere. An all round nice place for food and drinks will definitely be back

Zack and Ian , absolute legends , made my afternoon , amazing banter , lovley service 10/10

Had a brilliant time food amazing the staff are amazing they can’t do enough for you made our girls night out even more special .

Came to the county for my dinner the other day, had a few pints and the curry house feast and some spicey dirty fries, I have to say it was one of the best meals I've had in South shields. The staff here are always amazing and do their best to make sure every visit is amazing. I can't recommend the county enough.

Great beer garden with parking and seating area dog friendly. Go into main bar area to get menu. Once agreed submitted order were we didn’t have to wait long. Food arrived with no cutlery or compliments so back into bar to ask. He forgot but came out with them leaving food going cold. Food itself was Clicken tikka skewers that were overcooked dry with the rice that luke warm and tasteless. Pity

Best Carling in South Shields and the staff are so welcoming. This is my local pub! Recommend to everyone ! Great on weekends too.

Had chicken pie, ok crust to thick to my taste, but everything else good, wife thoroughly enjoyed her chicken tikke

There’s not many pubs in shields where you are able to watch different matches at the same time. Great for the lads on a match day

Came for dinner and got the tandoori skewers and the classic mixed grill. Food was great and the staff were polite. Busy but a great atmosphere. We’ll be back over the weekend.

We came here for pub grub and really enjoyed our meals. The staff were lovely and very attentive. We will be back and hopefully this will become our new local

Attended this business for my lunch and a few drinks the staff were amazing the food was fantastic and the service was out of this world, couldn't recommend another pub in South shields.

Excellent buffet for our granddaughter's christening.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch on the website and when we got there I was told they don’t serve Sunday lunch, very strange! Anyway opted for a meal from the menu, fish and chips and scampi and chips, all I can say it was definitely not worth the 20 minute wait. The fish was tiny and had a strange texture and taste, about 12 chips and a spoonful of peas the scampi was the same. The little dog at the next table got most of it. Very disappointing as the meals used to be lovely.

Didn't eat here, just came for drinks. Great service from friendly staff. Affordable prices too - definitely recommend

Enjoyed a couple of bar meals at the County, both good and very reasonably priced. Busy lively atmosphere.

Brilliant service, nice atmosphere would definitely come again served by Zak who provided us with fast service along with being very friendly throughout.

Lovely local pub, great service from Danny, Jack and Mark. Ordered food on a very busy Friday night from the new menu was lovely, would definitely recommend a visit

Came for food and drinks with a few couples, comfortable atmosphere. Manager very friendly and helpful, brilliant service and food was lovely.good drink selection! Definitely coming back in future :)

Excellent food despite being cheap! New menu is great. Recommended 😋

Absolutely lovely food and fabulous service, very happy.

Great food service a tad slow ( food cooked fresh to order) and the atmosphere isn't great if you go on a Sunday afternoon and the football's on ( all 8 tvs showing football isn't great if your out with the wife )

Amelia was amazing really attentive and a credit to the pub. Will be back for the new menu on Wednesday.

Amelia was very helpful my family loved the food and can’t wait to come back to sample the new menu on Wednesday. I’ve already booked my table.

Great spot for sport , We come here often and watch the footy. Couldn’t get my sizzler app to work but manager and other young lad got it sorted. Always a great night in here.

I booked a table that day very easy. ordered meal waited 35mins a bit to long but was told they had ran out of pulled turkey for my burger but asked if pulled pork was ok we said yes . enjoyed the meals they were hot and plenty of chips. would come back again. we had 33% off offer so was well pleased with bill .and we now have a £5 voucher for next time. well worth it

First time at the county on Thursday night for us, the pub was so busy we nearly didn’t get a seat. Bar man was on his own but was nothing but apologetic and quick to try get the queue down. Ordered food and have no complaints. Well done to the lad his service was excellent, You’ll definitely be seeing us again soon. Tony.

I only have good things to say about the county staff. Looking forward to their new menu in march. Great sizzling offers and Amelia always goes the extra mile for us

Great pub. Lovely staff. One of the managers Amelia is always on top form

All the locals always have always enjoyed The County. Staff are fantastic and they host brilliant functions. Staff are great, especially Amelia, Ian and Scott. Scott hosts a great quiz on a Tuesday night

Great service today from the bar staff and I orderd a chicken salad which looked absolutely amazing and tasted incredible done by chef kayleigh. I will definitely be back to eat hear again. Really good for people like me doing a health kick 🙂

Gemma served us for our visit today and as usual great service from the staff at the county and we had some nibbles from the restaurant whose chef was Kayleigh. Excellent afternoon in a real friendly pub we visit regular, thanks.

Absolutely amazing service , chef was Kayleigh food was unbelievable 😍, server mark serves food and drinks with manners and great communication

I come to the county every day. Lush beer. Brilliant staff. Great food. Scott served me today, friendly as always. County is a great community for us old people

Lovely pub, food is decent. Staff are nice.

This was a lunch time visit with a good show of customers. Staff both bar and floor were very attentive and welcoming making sure we had enough time to settle and read the menu. Great service as didn’t wait long before the starters arrived Hunters chicken nachos & chicken wings to share. Full of taste and flavour. The mains were just as good as the 8oz streak was cooked to perfection and the chicken skewers were top dollar. I would recommend this pub for good value food with no conplaints. Well done.

Well, very tasty, not expensive and in a pleasant atmosphere we had dinner with the whole family

Nice friendly traditional pub, good atmosphere on a Friday night. Sensible prices.

We had a lovely lunch at the County service was very good and the food was nice

Manager Zak was amazing and offered great customer service and customer care

Zac was so nice and offered great customer service

We booked Christmas dinner worth £49.99 per person. The quality of the food was underwhelming. For starter we ordered Prawn Salad, and it was just few bits of prawn(smallest type of prawn was served), Main Course was okey(Turkey and Beef Ribs) but the vegetables was overcooked and only few stalks of veggies was served. Furthermore, the dessert was a Christmas Pudding, and it was the tinniest portion and the amount of custard was about 1 tablespoon. It was diabolical. If you're going to book a Christmas Dinner at this Pub, please just avoid this pub. Totally waste of money.

Christmas Day drinks everyone enjoying the atmosphere service excellent with the amount of people who were in a big thank you to all the staff who worked tirelessly to serve all.

Great staff and greater food and drink!

We had an issue with the app upon payment. The staff went above and beyond in order to help rectify the issue. I have seldom experienced fantastic customer service of this level in a pub before. The pub environment was warm and welcoming, the food was very nice but it was the staff who elevated our experience beyond expectations.

Brilliant pub.. Especially if you want great food.. Lovely interior and friendly atmosphere.. Good for sports with plenty of screens.. Bingo nights and a band on the last weekend of every month.. Fab place

Fantastic pub! Popped in for a couple of drinks after work with my partner & the only thing that beat the pubs Fantastic atmosphere was the great service we got from zak, he looked after us from start to finish! We will defo b back again

Friendly welcome from barman, he explained there was a slight delay in taking food orders, because of a kitchen problem. We were quite happy to wait, which turned out to be very short time. Ordering process was easy, and food arrived shortly after.

Meal was hot. Cooked lovely, staff are helpful, enjoyed our visit.

Amazing Service and Atmosphere, very friendly and cosy for some late night drinks. Staff were very friendly, especially Scott who was very accommodating 👌🏻

Great place, lovely staff, nice food and good value for money. Fantastic service, particularly from Ria, who always goes out of her way to be a great host, no matter how busy she is. I'll be back soon, and have also booked for Christmas dinner again 😋

Fab pub,great atmosphere,great choice of drinks and food. The staff are lovely -espesically Ria,She was super helpful and very welcoming,and always with a smile! Have been here several times and will be back. Definitely recommend.

Went for a some food. Was greeted by Ria who was amazing. Great customer service and really friendly. She informed me I could bring my dog next time! Love that it’s dog friendly! Will defo be back! Thanks Ria!

One of the best Pubs in Shields,

Food is generic pub grub, it’s cheapish and of alright quality, don’t expect anything more and you’ll be generally pleased. BBQ sauce is a bit TOO sweet and is overpowering quickly. But overall, if you’re after a nice quick cheaper meal, it’s always a good shout. Beers are always decent though! Cocktail offer is great value for money also, the Long Island ice tea packs one hell of a punch

Dreadful delivery of ordered meals to take away, full order was not delivered and cold, no one was available to talk too.

Just went here for a wake so didn't socialize just amongst own company

Great local pub..food and beers top notch..sirloin steak cooked too perfection as always..fantastic staff and great atmosphere 👍👍

Excellent venue, really varied menu coupled with very friendly staff. Highly recommend the County for a family occasion 👌

Great service and excellent value for money

Great staff top quality food good atmosphere kid friendly my daughter loves her mini mixed grill

Always enjoy my visits, especially with friends, but last visit we all noticed the portions of food were smaller , literally had about 12 chips on my plate

Lovely lunch off the offer menu served by pleasant staff, what more wonderful is that it is pet friendly, certainly will be back again.

Amelia served us a delicious meal. We will definitely be coming back! Great dog friendly pub

Staff were very attentive, meal was really good, the only thing I can stay to improve on is more staff as we walked round the pub as didn't know where to go and there was only 1 bar staff on to find out where we were to go

Delicious meal served by Amelia today along with the new range of cocktails looking and tasting great. I would definitely recommend the Pineapple Spritz.

The staff are not good apart from amielia,ria I hope u get sacked,have some pride

First time there for a birthday party but thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had 9 in for dinner very accommodating had everything on the menu fab visit

I'm quite picky with the food but I should admit that I ate extraordinary good here. The beef burgers were high quality beef meat, perfect chips and the size was more than reasonable. It's not cheap, but I had an excellent lunch. Even when the pub was really busy on Sunday and they were clearly understaffed, The service was quick and efficient. I'll back again definitely

Had great time recently got peroni on tap was beautiful and crisp

Had an excellent lunch would definitely recommend The County.

Attended a funeral there . Food was lovely. Drinks reasonably priced

Nice friendly pub , choice of pub grub. Bar staff helpful and friendly , outside seating

My local pub, lovely staff! Christie’s always very attentive, polite and professional.

christie makes the county what it is today! lovely bubbly girl with a smile her on her face
