Everything fresh & we took plenty home too .. My brother-In-Law had the cheese omelette & chips .. THOSE CHIPS .. Proper homemade too .. Looking forward to seeing what delights The Christmas Afternoon Tea will be .. Thank You

On arrival the lady said its menu had "misprints" on so you didn't get your free coffee. She was vague at best about the so-called deals on offer. In the event a breakfast with latte came to just under £17. Seventeen quid! It had better be good! Alas what was labelled as "Cumberland Sausage" was not the coiled, seasoned delicacy we all know and love but was bland, straight and obviously deep-fried. Other portions were small, if there was more than one mushroom they must be small ones and the bacon rashers were scrag ends. Plus the coffee was mediocre at best, although allegedly large size it was quite obviously only one shot with frothy milk to make up the size. As the lady asked how my food was I politely expressed my doubts, only to be told it was "definitely Cumberland" and fetched the chef/owner who stormed in with a pack of items in question. In a scene reminiscent of 'Fawlty Towers' she pointed out its title, but unwittingly confirmed this was frozen and, for what it's worth, the manufacturer was 'Chef's Larder'. At these prices you'd expect fresh delicacies from a local butcher and full-flavoured coffee. No wonder it was almost empty.

Quick spot of lunch. Discovered Wendy's just by chance, Awesome tasting food,and good service, definitely would call in again as they have a good menu, we sat in ,it was just nice, not to hot or cold. Plenty of space, and cakes to blow your mind. I was in food heaven, highly recommend giving this cafe/Bistro a go. Well done Wendy's.

Dropped in for lunch this week and was OK. The ladies running the place were very attentive and friendly. Mrs got a panini which she said was canny, I got the steak and cheese burger but unfortunately wasn't anything out of this world at £13. Chips were tremendous. I was a bit put off about being asked to tip via card before even getting our meal.

Hidden gem in Sunderland, food was really tasty and the potions were huge for the price. The cafe is spotlessly clean and very cosy. The staff are so lovely too they came round and had a chat before the food arrived and were really great with our little girl who was made to feel very special.

I was part of a group of 11. We turned up un announced and we all ordered a cooked meal. We did arrive just in time as it got quite busy. . The staff were warm and welcoming. Considering the size of the group the food arrived promptly. All the food was tasty and hot and we all enjoyed our meals. Definitely added to our places to revisit. Thank you. Next time we will call ahead.

Found this gem of a place a few years ago and if I’m in Sunderland city centre this is where I go for food. Firstly the staff are so friendly and nice. The food is home cooked and so good yum. I took my mother and she had the quiche I opted for mince pie which was large portion and came with a drink. My mother wanted the smaller plate with her quiche. All the food was amazing especially the chips, proper chips. They also serve alcohol my mother had a Malibu and coke. It’s easy to find it’s round the corner from the bridges opposite the flannels shop. Only thing I would suggest is the option of a gravy boat instead of the gravy poured onto the meal as some people prefer to put their own gravy on or dip the chips like my daughter does but It was fine for me. I love Wendy’s place and will definitely be back 😊

I'd passed this little cafe last week and as I'd already eaten decided I would return this week for breakfast..When I arrived the place was empty and there were no menus on the tables and no staff at the counter.There was a blackboard on the wall displaying some of the food and drink prices and while I waited I checked it out and decided on a full english breakfast and a hot drink..Eventually someone came out from the kitchen and I ordered and handed over my cash. As it seemed to be more than expected I asked if the prices on the blackboard were correct, to be informed No they were the old prices!!I then told her I wouldn't be bothering and would just have my money back.It's not the price which is the issue but it is one of my pet hates when shops, cafes and restaurants display prices lower than they actually are. On a matter of principle I would never return to any retailer or cafe who would think it was ok to carry out this practice.The cafe is in a great location and looked clean and tidy. The welcome wasn't one of the best and it seems strange to have no menus on the tables and to have them stacked at the till.Unfortunately because of the less than friendly welcome and the practice of displaying incorrect prices, I won't be returning or recommending this place.

I went to Wendy's Place with some friends, to socialise and to have a good cuppa. I ordered a Luxury Hot Chocolate which came with a FREE Creme Egg. The hot chocolate came with cream and marshmallows with a couple of small biscuits on the side, the hot chocolate was beautiful but wasn't mixed properly as all the chocolate powder was gathered at the bottom. But apart from that the interior and the atmosphere was lovely. Will definitely come again. The prices vary depending on what you order. All in all very quaint little caf'e.

We wanted food, but unfortunately, it was finished. The bar lady came to show us other places we could eat. She was so kind, we decided to stay for a drink or 3! It was quiz night and the pub was busy, but the lady said there was sausage casserole later on. When the quiz had a break, she made sure we got some casserole and it was really good. A fun evening and the locals made us feel very welcome! Highly recommended - especially on quiz night 😊

Attended a party here last night, Terrible service and drinks. The staff were miserable definitely no service with smiles in this place. I do agree with the last review, the staff need customer service training. Gin with a warm bottle of cheap lemonade for my first drink, Then I got a glass of Warm Prosecco (which I was advised by the staff that the party guests were drinking far to quick so can’t chill quick enough)🥴 Then I received a flat dreg from a different kind of Prosecco bottle which I had to send back. Then I noticed each round of the same drinks I was being charged different prices. When questioned I was told I should be lucky that I have been undercharged the previous time🥴 Good job this place is at the bottom end of the town so it was a 1 off visit, I’ll not have to visit again.

Had been to the Sunday Market at South Shields. We decided to go again to Suzies cafe for a coffee. We found a parking space and my husband went to get them I had a hot soup (vegable) and my husband had a coffee. Both really enjoyable. While were.sitting in the car.a car pulled in a disabled bay, no disabled badge.on. They didn't pay. I'm disabled and .always show my badge. Then another car pulls.up ( we were in a norma bayl as no disable.were free when we parked) along beside us, gets out dad,ma m amdchild.They too didn't pay. When we were coming out spotted two traffic wardens - hope 2 cars get a ticket.
