Vigilant Inn in South Tyneside

Great place owned by a great man 🍻

Great bar staff. Friendly people

Live music on Sundays. Good range of beers, rums, whiskies all at decent prices. Bar staff very friendly. Lounge bar had several TV's for watching sports. Ring bell for service.

Great night on a Saturday as it's karaoke... Staff and punters super friendly and not badly priced Morreti on tap,can't beat it be back soon

Do not serve food. Service quick and friendly. Not very busy the night I was in. Good selection of beers. Small carpark. Step at entrance

Went to the quiz night. Five teams,an enjoyable evening

Pleasant staff, very friendly , friendly locals , live music and cold beer

The owners couldn't of been more helpful or accommodating . Fantastic choice of drinks to choose from too.

Needs money spent on it,total revamp.

Haven't been here for a while, popped in for the Coronation Celebrations .

A good night listening to a really good band, 'Sceptre', and great service.

Good location, could do with a refresh. Perhaps some good food service

Ages since I was last in here and it will be a lot longer, terrible atmosphere even worse drink and well overpriced.

Expensive pint but in a decent location

Lovely friendly pub and good ales

No longer serving carvery even though they still advertise it on their signage outside.

Toilet (men's) stink, seriously needs a new carpet beer was ok though.

Pub is fine price's ok, men's toilets absolutely disgusting!!!!

New beef Garden absolutely exceeded my expectations , amazing job done! Will definitely be back!

Good selection of drinks, nice atmosphere

Well be great to visit again when the apocalypse is over.

Great local pub and the staff are always friendly. The beer is very good and reasonably priced will be back sometime soon.

Great staff friendly bar i would recommend it to friends and family

Nice little pub. Not much to it just a simple old school pub.

Great place to sit and relax with a friend and a drink

I love this place. It’s a home from home. The staff are great and the atmosphere is always friendly.

Great pub great staff and friendly locals, best pub in shields

Probably the best pint In South shields

Warm welcome and staff were great

Staff always very friendly carvery is always spot on definitely worth trying

Big Bob's Karaoke on a Sat night excellent

Lovely pub, apart from beers are expensive, £3.95 for a pint of Coors light

Watched a few bands there. Beer is great. Staff are nice. Fun little live venue. They have a lot of different bands on every Sunday.

Nice to sit outside on a sunny day.

Nice crowd..canny pint and live music... support pubs who have bands on..

Fabulous carvery, great friendly servicr

Called in for a drink and to shelter from the rain. Recalled I had a free drink via Nationwide Pub Fortnight, and showed this to barmaid. Refused to accept this as ‘ just back from a week off, and knew nowt about it, would have to speak to owner who wasn’t available ‘ Apparently this initiative is supposed to ‘Celebrate your local pub’ and encourage communities to support an ever decreasing population. Well, The Vigilante failed on both counts ; I’ll not be Visiting them any time soon.

Nice local pub with friendly staff

Lovely pub has great live music on a Sunday

£3: 35 for John Smiths what the #&@?

Great pub. Good music. Told us the kids needed to leave at 9pm but let us stay till the music finished. Friendly place. Nice beer

Lovely Sunday Dinner. Disapointed the real ale was off

Enjoyable evening. Nice beers! Questionable live music this evening however.

Went for Sunday lunch. Was very nice, great selection of veg to choose from and the meat just broke apart. Definitely be returning. 5*

We visited for Sunday lunch but we were not impressed. Choice of veg not good and it looked like it had been sat there all day. Not many people in that day, so no atmosphere in the place. Overall, a bit disappointing. There are other places serving better Sunday lunches nearby.

Standard shields pub experience nice efficient service friendly atmosphere.

Sunday Carvery takes some beating

Lovely sunday dinner after being disappointed with an other place a friend recommended I think I will be back! Very happy!!

Lovely staff comfy feel to the bar

Three stars is too much but it deserves more than a two. Usual beer choice, haven't had a meal but looks like standard meat and boiled veg. Good sun trap out front.

Carvery was amazing, (home cooked) lovely and friendly staff and a great atmosphere in the pub.

A good pub with a good selection of drinks, friendly staff and a good atmosphere, only a 4star as I haven't had food here only visited on an evening for a live band playing, had a great night

Great selection of drinks with a village pub look. Only 4 stars because the white energy saving lighting throughout takes away that cosy feeling

It's our second week running of using the Vigilant's take away Sunday lunch. If this keeps up I cannot see my wife doing a Sunday lunch any time soon. The Lady who carves is excellent, she even took the time to check the stuffing for chestnuts as an ingredient, (my daughter has an allergy). The meat was beautiful as were the vegetables and gravy. All in All this was an excellent meal and all three of us are contented. thank you

Sunday dinner was lovely really good value for money haven't been here for a while we just got in however were told best to book

Best Sunday dinner ever at a very reasonable price

Fabulous Sunday lunch... plenty meat, lots of veg choice.. homemade Yorkshire puddings. Deffo get yr money's worth.. would definitely visit again & recommend.

Just started going to the Vig on a Sunday night. Great atmosphere with a live band from 7.00pm. Usually bluesy rock. Superb beers as well. Does food as well.

Fantastic cavery was lovelywud defo recomend x

Not the cheapest venue but okay.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Great beer, service and customers friendly. Live music on Sunday afternoons. Saw a fine band called the Dancers who come from Shields. Great show and tremendous playing. The audience loved it and made a great atmosphere.

This place is awesome for a really good night out and best thing is you can go for sunday lunch and its amazing 100 % enjoyed it the staff are awesome to well recomended

Fab pub and the live music makes it!

You will be hard pushed to find a better carvery in South Shields at the minute been to a few places and the last two times I have been here it's been spot on! Only let down is they don't have lamb but apart from that very good.

Nice quiet place,,,for a pint,,,

Very reasonable carvery style Sunday lunch. Staff were pleasant, and served a good pint to wash it all down.

My food was good but others seem to think theirs was cold. Service was good. Not overpriced but selection was limited maybe due to late time 1330 hrs

this place is the best place to be for a homely sunday roast any day of the week would highly recommend calling into this place friendly staff nice welcoming smile on entrance

Great food, priced at less than it was worth. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be going again.

Mi esposa y yo no visite este estupendo pueblo tan a menudo como deberíamos. Fuimos una semana a mediados de asados (miércoles). Horas de asados es de 12 pm hasta las 4 pm. Recibidos calurosamente y nos decidimos por un plato grande de ternera con brotes de cada guisantes puré de patatas y zanahorias y asado el mayor pudding de yorkshire que he visto. Regados con una pinta de refresco cada uno (aunque buena selección de cervezas lager). Una buena mezcla de música y canciones modernas. oldies A bajo volumen. Niños bienvenidos y buen acceso. Definitivamente lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera una buena casa vieja rotisería recién cocinado en un pub de pueblo.

Proper pub, great staff. Friendly atmosphere and huge portions of food.

Recuerdo este lugar desde mi juventud, y no tenía una gran reputación. Aparecimos como otro bar en el pueblo había acabado de Coors. Nos fastidió luego nos quedamos encantados porque nos hicimos. Lugar encantador, excelente selección de barril. Las cosas buenas acerca de la comida oído demasiado.

Good traditional pub.Good ales They do pub food but I haven't eaten in the vigilant .However it was very busy on the food section !!!It's a bit out of the town in Harton village but it has plenty of public transport stopping just across the road .Does nice selection of ales and wines .Defo going back .

never go back worst place ever for food and service
