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

Truly truly appauling. Have never eaten here before and so thought we would try it to see if it was any good . Positive start with friendly helpful staff. Ordered a smash burger and chips. Then the wait , of at least thirty minutes for luke warm cheap bookers burgers smothered in as much cheap bookers melting cheese sauce that you could not see what they were. Definitely only good for when you are either 1. So drunk you don't care what it tastes like or 2. When you are so hungry you'll eat anything because it's food.

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.

Ordered chicken sizzler, was disgusting chunks white chicken tasted like plastic, in chilli sauce not even warm never mind sizzling, brought it to attention of staff, young woman took back into kitchen came back to give us a run down from cook how it was made , then disappeared, no sign of manager, we were left with bowl of chips which had in all intents cost us £20 , before leaving asked speak to manager, same young woman appeared to say he had gone home, I asked her what happened to food we paid for, no offer of drink or dessert as replacement, asked her if it was part of her job to know what customers were not happy about, she was adamant not concerned about bad reviews or customer service saying it was FINE if don't return or give bad reviews to others, customer service non existent, the manager should have dealt with situation before leaving that is if he had actually left, or was concerned about his pubs reputation , obviously not, never go back again !
