I attended the Snow Goose this morning for a drink with my friend and to my absolute horror a woman came over to a young waitress on the coffee machine and tore a strip off her loudly telling her "she was not to be serving coffees all day but to pull her weight and help out with other tasks". The young girl was highly embarrassed knowing that the whole cafe and other staff members heard this. What amazed me more is that I found out it was the manager called Katie who was abusive and spoke down to this young waitress. The manager made no effort in her appearance wearing cropped jeans a t shirt and a grey hoodie. She was hard faced, unfriendly and should not be in the position of a manager. We are regular customers but will no longer return as our experience today was spoilt. This so called manager's attitude towards the staff was disgraceful.

My wife and I lived for many years in Sunderland before moving to Berkshire. During the last 4 months however, we've had to make many return visits, in order to visit my very ill sister in Newcastle Freeman hospital. During that time, we've visited the Snow Goose café on at least 6 occasions and have been very impressed each time. Staff have been efficient and friendly, food, simple but tasty and quickly served. Even on hot days, when a queue forms outside the café, the staff quickly prepare tables so that waiting times are as short as possible. On top of all this, its situated at the Marina, so has a lovely outlook. So all in all, we thoroughly recommend this place and cannot understand the few derogatory reports that we've read.

Excellent Service and Food at the eatery on the South Shields docks. It was busy but the waitresses had time to ensure every table and chair was cleaned before the next customer was put there. We had delicious coffee and superb warm scones- cheese for me and my companion fruit. Could not have been better and at a reasonable price. Good view of the harbour too from our window seats.

Had not been to The Snow Goose for quite some time, then visited twice within 2 weeks. Really like the Toasties here, plenty of filling and served with a fresh crisp side salad. My Husband ordered Welsh Rarebit with bacon on the top, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We were served by friendly staff and did not have long to wait. The prices are very reasonable considering you are on the Marina. I agree with other reviews regarding the car park. There are plenty of signs around and as long as you enter your car registration number in the machine located outside The Snow Goose, you will get 2 hours free parking.

Would avoid at all costs and am telling all friends and family to do the same after the shocking behaviour towards my mother in law and nana this afternoon. I could count on one hand the amount of times that nana has been out since beginning of covid due to suffering from an immunosuppressant disorder. She is still extremely cautious for obvious reasons. Mother in law picked her up to get her some fresh air and drove to the marina and noticed the snow goose was open. She asked if they did paper cups which she was informed they did. She ordered two cups of tea and sat nana outside only to be told that to sit outside you have to have china cups not paper. My mother in law explained the situation and that she would rather not use china cups due to her mother being 80+ and having her immune disorder. The lady she spoke to had no sympathy and advised would have move or have china cups. There was no one waiting for tables this was at 3-4pm and was quiet. She then watched my mother in law carry the two teas to her car and then have to come back to help her mother walk back to the car as she couldn’t unassisted.

Have been coming for years but won't be back Upon arrival we chose to sit outside as the weather was nice but had to wait whilst table and chairs were sprayed and cleaned fair enough. The family next to us then ordered. We ordered crab sandwiches only to be told this was unavailable. So we ordered prawn sandwiches and 1 pot of Earl Grey tea with a extra tea bag and 1 pot of Earl Grey without the extra tea bags. They brought out the tea in 1 pot and the saucers were stained . The family next to us were served pretty much straight away we had to wait an extra 25 minutes approx for our sandwiches and upon arrival i asked the waitress what took so long she said i dont know i haven't been in the kitchen no apologie. My bread on the sandwich was stale and dry and upon paying i was asked if everything was ok which i answer no only to be told by the waitress ive been on my break. And they wonder why little cafes are shutting down.

After walking three miles with the dog, I popped in for a coffee. I asked for it in a takeaway cup so I could continue with my walk. Rather than continuing straight away I sat down outside with the dog for what would have been 5 minutes max. Unfortunately my 5 minutes rest was cut short by a very rude member of staff talking loudly at me saying I couldn’t sit there with a takeaway cup and that I must move on. This was very embarrassing for for me, and it was as though she found pleasure in humiliating me in front of other customers. At the time I purchased my coffee there was no one waiting for a table so I wasn’t causing any issues by sitting there. I asked for the coffee to be put in a normal cup to which she replied it was too busy to do so and that I had to move. It is evident that this member of staff is missing key customer service skills and needs spoken with or you will continue to lose business as I will not purchase from you again.

so the cafe is actually in the marina in the buildings by the car park, and the only thing that lets you know its there is the sign "snow Goose" and the tables and chairs outside, inside its compact but roomy if you know what i mean, and very niceprices are good but its weird that if you want an egg on your bacon it has to be in a toastie, which makes me think the eggs are all precooked and heated up as the toastie is toasted which is a bit disappointingeveryone loves a runny yolk but that just not possiblebut i have to admit, well presented toastie with crisps and salad which was not really neededbut well worth a visit and i would call back again

Decided to take a breather and shelter from the wind. The Snow Goose was packed so we decided to sit outside and were surprised how warm and sheltered it was. A waitress came out immediately to see if we were ready to order. We selected panninis and coffee. Perfectly sized portions and didn't have long to wait although the restaurant was busy. Staff are very friendly and by the time we the outside seating area was pretty busy. Lovely to be able to sit outside and enjoy the views over the marina.

I visited with a friend in August, day out run along coast. The staff were not very helpful, po faced comes to mind not helpfull, we wanted soup and sandwich!!!! you think we had two heads, no soup and sandwich deal,cost us £10 each for soup and sandwich, plus drinks pensioners!! The soup was lentil stand a spoon up in it and it believe it or not too half hour to cool down over microwaved !!! my friend had a cheese and onion toastie , and i had a tuna toastie, hardly any cheese in the sandwich and the tuna was so dry, Yuck!! but the location was great, shame the po faced staff , prices and food let them down so much. I wouldn't recommend this place at all we wont be going back unless they offer us a free lunch but then, not really looking for this just protecting future customers BEWARE!!!

Having visited this establishment for lunch with my sister during our lunch hour from work, and having made a special trip for my sister's birthday, we were confronted with a young girl member of staff in approximately her 20's who proceeded to dish out filthy looks to us every time she passed us for no apparent reason. On some occasions she was smirking following her filthy look as she walked past us and on other occasions she was shaking her head. At first we thought we may be mistaken as to whom her behaviour was directed towards but she left us with no doubt that her ill-feelings were directed towards us.

We visited after a long walk along Seaburn & Roker seafront. We found this small cafe in the marina. The weather was lovely so we were able to sit outside. The waitress arrived promptly to take our drinks order. Cappuccino was hot when it arrived and good coffee. I have only rated 3 stars purely because I did not see inside the cafe or use the toilets so I cannot comment on those. However I/we will visit again when we are in the area.

Met a group of friends here for lunch. Not a very varied menu however there are sandwiches, panini, and scones to choose from. Nothing on the menu that is not full of carbohydrate. A range of tasty salads would have been lovely. Service was only average with lots of young female staff who are in no hurry to attend to customers. I'm pretty sure we were over charged as you do not get an itemised bill. You pay on your way out and don't see a bill.

I have visited this cafe many times but lately have been very disappointed, I keep giving it the benefit of the doubt but enough is enough the cappuccino is half inch of coffee & the rest is froth & luke warm, have tried an Americano & this had no taste of coffee could have been hot water. I have had scones which I'm sure are old especially if you get one toasted & last time I tried a toasted teacake, this came totally burnt on the top, inedible, could only eat the bottom half. I will not return to this cafe as feel I've given it quite a few chances. Would not recommend.

We've been loyal customers for a long time but now choosing to go elsewhere. Wafer thin cheap ham in a ham and please pudding sandwich (that's not cheap) just isn't on when it's the ham that makes it or chicken roll in a club sandwich instead of proper chicken? Happy shopper apple juice at the price they're charging, at least hide it away from the customers.

We have been dinning at the Snow Goose for a number of years, and have always found the service and food very good.If it has a downside it gets very busy, not a bad sign.Staff are always friendly and welcoming. The interior is clean and bright, and they have an amazing mural of an old map of Sunderland and the Wear, I know it is sad but I am fascinated by maps and study it for hours.Check out the daily specials on the black board.Breakfast bagels are delicious and my wife highly recommends the corned beef pie.The "mug of filter coffee" is very good, full of flavour.Not the cheapest coffee shop around but you always get great quality.

Stopped in for a coffee and scone today with a friend. The waitress asked "Would you like the scone warmed up?" and I was just about to say "no, thank you" when she said we don't do it in a microwave, we do it in the oven. Finally, a cafe that recognises that microwaves ruin scones!And one of the young waitresses was very kind in helping an older customer who had mobility problems.By the way the oven warmed date and walnut scone was delicious.All in all in very positive experience.

Once a small cafe in the marina it now has seating areas extended outside and down to the harbour itself. Great coffee and cake and friendly locals.

Good coffee and staff only thing that was a little predictable menu wise had a panini with crisps it was fresh and tasty. Setting is also nice so ended up back a couple of days later for a takeaway hot chocolate to enjoy as I watched the boats

Heard about the tea cake with cinnamon butter and had to give it a try. Very good and also do nice scones.They do quiche and a selection of sandwiches. One was ham and pease pudding, not something I've seen much on menus. Also noticed they do fresh crab sandwiches which I must go back to try.Nice location at Sunderland Marina in Roker with free parking right outside. Service was very good.

We were looking for somewhere with easy access and parking and read about The Snow Goose in the reviews so we decided to give it a try.Easy parking as it was raining and we had a baby with us.Very friendly staff, and the food came quickly BUT two of us ordered Quiche Lorraine and got celery and Stilton instead, woops! It didn't really matter as it was delicious but the salad was just one piece of tomato and a bit of lettuce with a little dish of mayonnaise. It could have been a bit more on the plate and where was the coleslaw? You always get coleslaw with salad! I appreciate lots of people do leave the salad so maybe that's why they only give you a small amount.We all had the homemade lemon cake served warm with thick cream. Not for the dieters.Caffe Latte was lovely.It was about £24 for three of us which I thought was great value for money and we will certainly go back there.

Went down as the sun was shining and it was lovely and warm. Nice large seating area over looking the marina. Service very efficient and staff very pleasant. Mam ordered corned beef pie- which was amazing, large portion topped with mash, & came with salad, crisps and pickle on the side, mam was very impressed, & I ordered cheese and ham toastie-lovely and 2 cappuccinos which were good. Nice varied menu, cant fault the staff or the cafe itself. Lovely seating area inside for when the weather is not so good, but it is very homely. Cant wait to go back.

Nice coffee although please inform your staff espresso comes in a tiny cup, it's a single shot of coffee, it doesn't come in a mug Shame the manageress / owner thinks she can show you up in front of other customers because I moved my chair slightly into the sunCome and have a quiet word, don't tell me off like I'm a 5 year old!!!!!

Lovely atmosphere, busy but staff very efficient and friendly. Have fab padded seats for little ones, rather than high chairs, much less cumbersome. Food always yummy.

The Snow Goose is a great place to meet up for chat and a snack. In fine weather it is great to sit outside and enjoy the views of the marina. The staff are super friendly, helpful and attentive. (We sat outside and we certainly weren't forgotten about.) Inside is cosy and pleasant but can get quite busy. If you are out on a bike ride along the coast the Snow Goose is very convenient to drop in for refreshments.

joined our best friends for coffee here yesterday, I can understand that on a sunny day the location would be beautiful overlooking the Marina at Roker. The cafe was clean and well presented. We found the service to be good, and the coffee and cakes were very nice. However, I think that as the cakes are home made they should be displayed for customers to chose, we opted for the raspberry and white chocolate tray bake which was delicious it was served warm with fresh cream.One of our friends had egg served on a muffin.There is quite a range of snacks on offer both savoury and sweet and the staff were very efficient. We will definitely call again on a sunny day

Does anyone know if the Riverview brasserie restaurant over at the Stadium of light in Sunderland is still open or not. Because me and my dad are about to go there for a Father's Day lunch out on the 18th June and every time me and my dad kept on phoning them it just ends up with nobody answering the phone. So could someone kindly send me a reply message back and let me know to see if the Riverview brasserie restaurant at the stadium of light in Sunderland to see if it's open or not.

I eat here often as i work locally. I find the choice of food to be varied and look forward to the welcoming smile of the Owners/Staff. I believe this is the best 'Sandwich Shop' in Sunderland and would highly recommend.

Food was good but overpriced. Most upsetting was the time it took for the kitchen to serve us. Waitress was helpful & pleasant but caught in the middle. Either systems poor or need more kitchen staff....waited nearly an hour. Shame because it's a nice place but bit overpriced.

Pensaba que las cenas escolares eran malas, pero este lugar es el peor en el que he comido. Visitamos con la familia para el almuerzo del domingo gran error. Estábamos sentados no muy lejos del microondas, que oímos pingar cada pocos minutos, entonces se sirvió la comida, la comida debe ser emplatada y recalentada, la verdura estaba prácticamente cruda, en cuanto a los asados (patatas) bien, estos eran duros como roca u podría hacer algún daño grave con estos. No hay restaurante o carvery que he comido en puede hacer un asado tan bueno como en casa, un asado casero recién cocinado es mucho mejor y más barato Definitivamente no volveré.
