The Potting Shed in South Tyneside

Absolutely amazing traditional Chinese. Home made chips too....the best❤️

To start the place is almost spotless and they have lots of both indoor and outdoor space. As for the food the fish is beautifully flakey, the mushy peas are perfect, the curry sauce is pleasant and the chips are nothing special. Over all it's good and I would come here again

Only dropped two stars because it was freezing inside and it was nearly empty so atmosphere was zero. Two for a birthday bottomless brunch, cocktails brilliant food hot and very tasty with excellent service and the staff singing happy birthday made for a great tuesday afternoon, ( we work stupid shifts ) well done all.

I went to Life of Riley on Sunday/Monday morning 4th/5th August 2024. We used to call it Spiker Riley as in the past we have had attempts to spike our drinks. The other night we were there till 02:30 and the security in there were absolutely fantastic. One guy inside spotting any trouble and two guys on the door responding. The guys were professional polite and strong when required.My wife and myself felt totally safe as there is the usual mix of Bumpers on Hairy Mikers night. Excellent work guys.

They had the chicken sizzler on special so order 2. Worst ever tasted. Chicken was a pre cooked chicken breast chopped into chunks with slimy spring onions and slimy peppers. None of which had been sizzled, literally service on a metal plate and called sizzler. I’m guessing left over chicken just chopped up and used for another dish. Complained to allow them to rectify the issue, manager just stayed in the kitchen and sent staff over to say that’s the way it comes. Full dish was taken away and not even returned, so effectively paid £20 for 2 bowls of chips. Avoid this place if you aren’t already.
