The Marine in South Tyneside

First the lady who was table service was brilliant. Long brown hair. Meal, fish and chips. In a road where there is 3 chip shops this was 2 out of ten. Massive fish and chips. Alas all batter and lots of bones. Not good. Fish obviously frozen. Massive heavy metal music coming out of the kitchen. Second chance at marine today but that's it. Shame.

Popped in for a drink it's a lovely friendly place ☺️

Great pub, great staff. Really good beer. Love the place.

This pub has it all. Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere. It gets busy because of all of the above. Great choice of beers and smiley friendly staff keep me coming back once a year….great north run weekend. Try it you won’t regret it.

Fantastic little pub, great service and friendly staff. Looking a little dated and tatty, but it’s well used and always busy. Dog friendly too!

Afternoon drinks and small eats. lovely food and very good choice of real ale and lagers. staff very friendly. it is a dog friendly pub

Went to Marine this evening after reading good reviews Nice pub very busy and good atmosphere We ordered food and drink but after waiting over an hour we asked where our food was. The bar person named Jenna said we had not ordered food? I found this very confusing as I watched her put in our order for 4 people and take our table number. When I said this to her she was very defensive and more or less called me liar If she had apologised I would have understood we all make mistakes but instead she insisted we had not placed the order then after reordering she practically threw our cutlery on the table When the food arrived after over an hour and a half my Lasagne was very tasty my husband said his pastry was undercooked on his pie mince and dumplings ok but preferred this dish at Harbour Lights steak ok but all in all will not be returning due to the service I received from Jenna

Good beer. Wide range of real ales. Haven't tried the food. Music was too loud to talk to the person next to me.

Great little pub by the park and the sea front

Good food, great beer, and superb staff.. Well worth a visit or 3...!

Had the most amazing Sunday roast . All home made and hot and fresh . Probably the best place to get obe .

The Fish & Chips are divine! I always have a lovely experience here.

Haven't had food, but the pub is brilliant, great priced, nice selection of drinks

Very nice pub lovely staff could not do enough for you made my self and my husband very welcome and what good food they serve aswell . 😀

Always a good selection of beers.

Didn't order food, just drinks. Was told to leave as apparently me and my friends were doing coke. None of us were on it and I personally have never done it. Really unpleasant experience, we left straight away.

Great atmosphere and music. Service can be slow at times. Home made food which is nice.

Superb pub. A real ale lovers panacea! Great atmosphere and ideally located for beaches, restaurants, etc. Very friendly staff and I highly recommend.

Love this pub! Always a smile behind the bar. Lush food, great selection of drinks.

Had all day breakfast well worth the money nice beer

Very friendly staff,had steak sandwiches, definitely come again lovely xx

Great food, excellent chicken, and smoky bacon with a barbecue sauce. Really filled up the bread, I ordered chunky chips with hindsight, and I could have left out of the order. Washed down with a pint of Madri and some cracking background music. 👌

Great atmosphere, friendly pub.

Great place for drinks and ales. Food needs a little bit of work. The frozen chips were the best part of the meal.

We called in on a Monday afternoon and ordered from the menu. We had steak and ale pie and minced beef and dumplings. The food was served promptly with a smile and the portions were enormous and tasted as good as they looked, and were great value for money. We can definitely recommend The Marine and will return when back in the area. The Beers although are quite expensive.

Multiple CAMRA award winner. Good value for food and drink with large choice of Real Ales.

Really good beers, pleasant staff, will call in again when in the area.

Great pub and fantastic atmosphere.

We dropped in for a drink, and it was welcoming, with good value, and I would recommend it.

Only attended for drinks however the service was amazing for a bank holiday weekend and the drinks tasted perfect definitely a pub worthy of the awards they have won

Never trued the food in this pub but from what we have seen it looks good. We always call in here for a pint or 2 before going for a curry. Propper drinking pub with good beers and largers. Well Worth a visit!

Lovely pub, great food and great choice of ales.

Didn't have food but excellent choice of drinks, service brilliant and a nice pub, could do.with some repairs but I'll still.be back.

Great selection of beer and really good food.

In the day this was a traditional big pub with bog standard keg ales - what a change!!! Great selection of cask ales, friendy and chatty staff, and in a busy traditional setting. What a transformation.. rate this with the Alum Ale House, and the Steamboat as a MUST go to for real ale drinkers in Sandancer land

Nice local pub, good range of beers and ciders. Very friendly.

The pub itself is nice , the people are a bit clicky, the staff need to smile more + be a bit more friendly

Popped in after walking in the area. Great selection of real ales & well kept. Good, friendly service & cracking food to boot.

absolute rip off drink is London prices avoid

Little cramped , or it would have had 5 stars all day long , one of best steaks I've had , not the biggest , but not most expensive either , nice for a treat

Difficult to get a seat now on a Sunday with people playing dominoes. The food is nowhere near as good as it used to be which is a shame! The few vegetables you get are bland and the chips are not real potatoes. If you like Yorkshire puddings the plate is filled with a massive one but hardly anything else! Ok selection of Beers.

Nice pub with a good selection of real ales, and other draft beers and largers

Fabulous public house. Decoration and staff are congenial to a great meal or drink out. Only one fault - please change the gravy - it needs to be put on life support it’s so painfully thin and anemic - such a shame.

Great pub surrounded by nice people.

Nice atmosphere, reasonabl priced drinks.

All lovely food staff . Brilliant ❤️

Excellent first time visit.Terrific range of beer, great price , brilliant music and excellent, naturally friendly service, I was made to feel like a local. Didn't try the food this visit, plenty of folks eating, so a good sign. Will definitely be back for food and drink 👍

Excellent dog friendly park opposite Marine Park. The food is excellent, possibly the best pub burger I have ever eaten! Great value for money too. Highly recommended.

Had read reviews and put this pub on my hit list on my visit to South Shields. From the outside the Marine is a bit underwhelming which is a real shame as it nearly preventing me from going in with my 3 friends. It badly requires some tlc with a splash of paint! However it didn’t deter us and the interior is quite the opposite. A very traditional bar but immaculate inside with lovely comfortable tables and chairs. Great choice of lagers and great real ales and features regularly in the GBG. Great food and home made snacks to boot. Wine reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend

Been ages since I've been here, but thought it was canny when I went in.

My favourite place for a pint in Shields. Friendly staff, great range of cask & keg beers at a decent price. Music is good with pool/darts available.

We called in for a few drinks with friends. The staff and customers were friendly and helpful. The food looked really nice but we did not eat. We will be going back and would recommend it. Also very dog friendly.

Dog friendly and great people. Actually found a cousin there I never met before! The food is wonderful as are the people. I highly recommend it!!!

The Marine has been Pub of the Year since 2017-2023, a very good selection of Local Beer's, good Food selection, excellent Staff.

Visited today for lunch with my husband, we have to say that the fish and chips are the best we have had in a long time, would definitely recommend a visit, staff friendly and the music was good too

Massive selection of proper beer and other drinks. Meals tasty and good value. Ideal Boys Club venue. Thanks

Top notch location with a friendly,warm welcome.

Brilliant pub, great location, great atmosphere,great for groups of people 😊

Great pub, nice choice of ales, friendly staff and dog friendly. Didn't eat but the food that came out looked good

Best burger we have eaten in a pub!!! Came with fresh salad, crispy onion rings and cracking chips. Friendly staff and a good pint!!!

Visited with a friend for her birthday. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place. Staff are friendly, chatty, polite and helpful. Had some good banter and a laugh. Service is quick, efficient and professional, all with a personal touch. Had some real ales even got a free one with the pubs loyalty card. Food was 1st class had the snacks 3 plates for £15 excellent value. Nachos were real tortillas not just Doritos with stuff on. Would highly recommend. Plus dog friendly.

Great pub with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff would recommend

Great pub, had a lovely time started off the evening with friends there. Called back in later the same night ended up playing pool..

We decided that we would try the Marine for tea, been in lots of times just for a beer or two before. We both chose the burgers chicken and the classic, got to say the staff were great and freindly/helpfull .My beef burger was one of the tastiest that i have had and nicely presented with chips and a salad.My wife had the chicken burger she said was very nice. We both agreed that we will come again and try something different from the menu. Also a great selection of real ales well worth a visit.

Always worth the walk down Ocean Road. Excellent pub with a good selection of real and keg ales. Haven't tried the food yet.

Had a hard time finding a good place that offered glutten free food for my daughter who has celiac disease. Found the Marine! Fit the bill and a real fun place! Staff was amazing.

Been a while since I've been in ,service very good the food looked fantastic all home cooked and definitely will visit again

Standard pub really. Nothing special but serves a decent pint

Never visited until now. What a great pub, full of cheer, a great choice of beers, nice staff and a fine atmosphere of friendly people having a good time. I was drinking IPA and they serve a good pint. Everyone else with me enjoyed themselves too.

Very expensive bottle newcastle broon £5.50 archers £7.00, lol

Quiet place, friendly staff and genuinely nice locals.

Top pub, great Keg ales available. Food superb. Service top notch

Sehr herzliches Personal und tolle einrichtung

It is one of the best pubs in South Shields. Great grub, family & dog friendly, and a warm welcome to boot.

Big change since I was last here. Definitely a change for the better. Well worth a look if you're in the area

Brilliant beer Brilliant Sunday dinner Went with a reserved party and all the meals looked fab and tasted fab Best compliment to the chef is clean bowls and plates Worth a visit just for a half to taste one of the fine selection of ales on tap Brilliant

Lovely staff great food ar good price & excellent real ales & ciders.

Love this pub - decent selection of beers, lovely amount of seating, most of all the staff are fantastic.

The reason we left was due to the head banging noise that we first thought was a Live Band with over active Drummer. It was early on a Saturday evening and we had walked there from our seafront Hotel for dinner and drinks with our Labrador as it is Dog Friendly. It was wedged when we first arrived but managed to get a seat after others left, but many people were waiting at the Bar to be served so we left in search of somewhere quieter.

I had the pleasure of stopping by The Marine on my recent trip to the UK. Bar none, it’s the best pub in So Shields with the best bartenders in town. Charlotte, Peter and Becky provided beyond exceptional service. They were friendly, professional, and made wonderful drink suggestions. I visited many pubs in the area and the staff here is what made it my favorite go to. I will be back. 💖

We ordered fish and chips and also a classic burger and my partner cut into the burger and it was still bloody and Luke warm and we told the bar man he said it cooked fully and the chef mixes the mince with tomato puree also that wasn't on the menu dispristion and we won't be ordering from they again we were they today 17th October 2022

Lively local pub. Good drinks avaliable with a wide range of cask ales. Good quality pub grub! And plenty of it. Right up my street. Good vegan options. Dog friendly too. Bar staff and locals canny too

We enjoyed a few drinks and a lovely evening meal after a day of catching up and beers! Our food was what u would best describe as proper hearty grub. Tasty starters, tasty mains. One salmon, one pork and one mice and spuds. Very nice indeed.

Had a superb evening meal there. Certainly thne best ever pub meal, and so well presented. The food was excellent

the exterior is little drab, the welcome, food and beer are very welcoming. highly recommended. the beach an park are a short walk away, the toilets are clean.

Great traditional pub. Lots of choice of real ale beers including my favourite tipples Stouts and Porters. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and the place has a good atmosphere and good vibe. Dog friendly to the point that our dog now drags us in if go past the pub. Slightly limited menu for my personal taste but food I have had was OK. Needs a lick of paint on outside of pub as it looks a bit tired and may look like it's a bit rough, it definitely isn't so don't let that put you off. Always look forward to visiting this establishment

Just a lunchtime snack. Gorgeous food and good beer and service. Excellent will call again.Would definitely recommend.

After being told how good this place was we decided to call in with some friends for a few drinks and some lunch. The bar was very cosy and welcoming as were the staff. Unfortunately what let it down was the food which was pretty awful. In fact the worst that I’ve had in a while. The price charged was a bit steep considering the quality of the food. Can’t understand how people can give such good reviews regarding the quality of the food. Will I go back ……….Definitely Not

We’ve had a few pub meals recently and I have to say this was by far the best. There was a good selection of vegetarian options for us. Two of us had the veggie burger. It was delicious and the onion rings were superb. My husband had the vegan Christmas meal. The roast vegetables were freshly cooked and he said it was all good. The bar staff were friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with our food and drinks. Looking forward to our next visit.

Went as it was pet friendly so thought it would be ideal .. I’ve never smelt a smell like it the whole place smells like a latrine and I couldn’t stand to even order food I had to Leave . . I’m by no means...

Went with a mixed aged group of people. The staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Friendly pub with a nice atmosphere. Good location.

Great selection of ales and ciders friendly staff and dog friendly . Food cooked to order which was of good value. Strongly recommend

Excellent pub with a good selection of beers, Friendly barman(landlord) gave me a taste of the Plovers Gold??? which i liked and had a pint. Good friendly atmosphere.

Friendly service and a very good selection of real ales. It was a mid-afternoon visit so was quiet but suspect it gets busy in the evenings.

The prices are cheap beers really good and it’s a nice location the staff are helpful as well. I would recommend good location.

Me and sone friends visited the Marine on Friday night. Booked a table and had some drinks followed by food from the menu. We all ordered different meals and they were all delicious. Had a lovely night, the staff are fantastic and the atmosphere friendly....

Came and have a pint and was only £3 and thought that ridiculously cheap and booked a table to watch England VS Denmark and the view from where we was to TV was brilliant, every one was glued to TV and cheered them on :)...

Nice little bar in this seaside town, nice and friendly. Will recommend. Csnt wait to return here for a drink

Not your normal pub menu, more gourmet dishes that are tasty. Good service and cracking Ciders and Ales on tap
