The best restaurants in South Tyneside North East

Pizza so thin it was like a cracker biscuit topping dried on around the edges hardly any chicken, cheese or mushrooms. The nachos were burnt with dried up toppings and the cheesey chips were raw and inedible!! Absolutely disgusting! Never order from here again!

A visit to the Potting Shed is a disappointing experience if you expect any decent customer service. Staff were miserable and unhelpful. We chose our table but it had not been cleared like quite a few others and although one or two waiting staff were around no one came to clear. Eventually I spoke to the waitress and asked for the table to be cleared who replied curtly she would get to it shortly. Eventually she cleared the tables on either side of us which were unoccupied then eventually she cleared ours with no apology. The coffee shop was not busy but we waited 20 mins for a cup of coffee that was slopped over the cup into the saucer and a slice of cake still no apology for the wait or service. Not going back.

Had a fantastic dinner.The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing, best meal we have had in a while! Lovely atmosphere, would recommend.

We fancied a change so thought a lovely family meal/takeaway from Dixy Chicken! Never again!!! We ordered a family meal to which 1 pizza was missing. Chicken tasted undercooked! All the other food was cold. When the missing pizza turned up 30mins later, this was also cold. Will never be ordering from here again! Absolute waste of money!

I ordered delivery but after 2 hours and multiple phone calls the food never arrived. No apology was given for complete failure on their part. Never again.

Been 3 times now as not from here but my boyfriend.is...1st time wasnt bad 2nd time was spoken to quite rude but tonight omg i will NOT BE BACK. Saidy order and paid opened it up at his house and chips missing rang and said the man was so rude anf obnoxious and put thr phone down rang back and girl answered explained again and she was again rude said come back for your chips but you have to pay and said bye again the phone was down ABSOLUTELY NO NEED. I will never return there is ways and means of talking to people even mc donalds have got my order wrong and been so much kinder.

This is the best takeaway in South Shields! I have never known food to be piping hot by the time we got home which is around 15 minutes, it was literally burning our hands! The pizza is absolutely gorgeous and so cheesy, the cheese pull WOW! The chips we recieved were salty and so thick we love thick chips! We also got some mozerlla sticks and omg the CHEESE PULL is to die for! The Garlic sauce is nothing a sauce I have tried before, it’s homemade and wow the best garlic in the north east. I would reccomend this to anyone who wants a takeaway when feeling like they can’t be bothered to cook as they are also on just eat and delivery is 45 mins!! 45 MINUTES!! Definitely a pizza place to try!!

OMG - just had a chicken burger - the chicken was almost cremated - god knows how many times it was cooked today! The bun was stale, vile - finished off with a squirt of mayo and NO other filling lettuce etc - I can only assume they ran out - I don’t use KFC very often adm tonight I was reminded why!

I was dubious about trying as I didn't think it would be for me, but am I glad I did. 100% converted. It tasted amazing. The ice cream curls were delicious. Definitely go back.

The food was quite tasty and reasonably priced. The waitress however was miserable and couldn't be bothered to take the table number out of the holder but asked us to do it. The gents toilets were not up to standard. The floor looked as though it had several layers of covering all of them worn through in various places and far from clean. There was no soap in the dispenser despite the maintenance sheet having been signed to say that everything had been checked regularly. On the escalator to the shopping level there were numerous missing panels in the low ceiling revealing dirt, wires and other things. Potential hazard to users. It seems the management aren't on top of the maintenance side of the store.

Female employee who was working on the self scam had an absolutely disgusting attitude. Quite old, short hair and glasses. Spoke to the couple at the self checkout next to us in the rudest tone of voice all because they took something off the scale too soon. Then proceeded to come over to us huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes. Wouldn’t think she was getting paid to work there, I work in customer service myself and have dealt with some pretty frustrating customers but would never dare speak to anyone that way.

Lovely porridge, and brilliant friendly service from Darren and Angie (Ann?), made such a difference to our day, what a pleasure a smile and a cheerful welcome make, thank you.

First time in a while at this location,all i wanted was breakfast and a drink.No drink included in my breakfast meal which had a nice egg but rubbery sausage and almost inedible bacon, with the cheapest drink at almost £2 i would have been better going to another venue even with kids eat free it was an expensive breakfast for what you got, this "Brew" drinks section did not give refills and just seemed to be trying to be a fancy coffee stand without any fancyness on display at all. I won't be rushing back, greggs just outside seems a better bet if im in the area.

I'm a loyal customer to Asda. I have been for many years now. Been in today at 17:00 hours to get some shopping. Filled my bag pack up after paying for my food and still had some left to put in a shopping bag. Asked the young lady if I could get a shopping bag. She asked if I was paying for the bag separate and I said yes. She then put the bag through and said you’ll have to pay for the other stuff that I already payed for. I tried showing her the receipt but she wasn’t bothered about looking at it. She then decided to get security to stop me and ask if I had payed for everything. I felt embarrassed and discriminated by that since I’m always at Asda buying food. It’s a shame that one person who doesn’t like life in Asda spoils the service and experience for customers. Good reviews go far but bad reviews go further. She needs an office job 😂🤣😅

Really slow service, took an age to get lunch. Pizza was greasy with no cutlery, salad or any add-ons, serviette. Just pizza in a box. Decent sport on TV and near the beach
