The best restaurants serving British food in South Tyneside North East

A gorgeous little traditional bakery with so many amazing products on offer. Visited to pick up some cakes for the office, you are absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to sweet treats. I ordered a selection, opting for the Manchester tart cheesecake for myself, which was unreal! The staff were all really friendly and served everyone as quickly as possible, as it was incredibly busy. I can’t wait to go back again to try out some of the fresh bread and pies!

Spent a lovely Saturday here with work colleagues for the South Shields v Marine FC match. We had a prime table in the Shipley Lounge where we were feed, watered and got to watch the game from the comfort of some nice warm seats. The food was delicious, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the dauphinoise potatoes, little creamy dreams! Dessert was a winter comfort classic, bread and butter pudding with custard, which topped the meal off nicely. The service from all the staff was spot on, cheery and helpful and the fact the lads won just made the day even better! A fantastic day out at a great little club!

First time of visiting this dessert treat shop and there was a great selection of hot and cold desert e.g. waffles and cakes on offer. The milkshakes were made fresh for you based on your choice of sweets, slushes and more. Great friendly staff -service with a smile and a nice atmosphere in the shop with seating. Parking outside and easy to access from the main road. The rainbow cake was amazing I will be back to try out more of the different cakes.

Value for money is an understatement. The breakfasts are outstanding and the daily specials lovely choice

The counters and fridge were well stocked and there was a good selection of products. They do boxed up hot meals e.g. breakfast boxes and chips etc... pastries, plate pies and sandwiches. The staff were friendly and the shop clean. I ordered a Saveloy Dip it was served hot and was a good portion size.

Jess and family had a lovely day at pooches cafe. Helping Luna celebrate her birthday . Blaze and Callum are amazing hosts welcoming and friendly . Human food is amazing my two boys recommend chocolate cake it was best they ever tasted . And pooches party food looked just as good . Nothing was any trouble Blaze and Callum happily helped with any requests to keep both humans and pooches happy . Well worth a visit with your 4 legged friends.

I am tempted not to publish this because the meal was so good and the waiting staff so supportive. Real value for money. Great Food and a reasonable price. A great little treat and it supports the kids. What is not to love. A brilliant meal one of the best I have had with very attentive staff. Brilliant. Well done.

Tried a cappuccino to takeaway from the Clifton, beautiful ground coffee and fresh steamed milk. Great service and a nice big cup, best coffee I’ve had anywhere near the beach

Visiting Savannah and went for the wife. I waited in line for 30+ minutes only to be told to move all the way past the displayed flavors when I got to the front. I tried a sample of rum bisque and hated it, then could not see anything else because the people behind me were pushed up against the glass. I felt like a sheep. It was an extremely uncomfortable experience and not worth the hype.

This is normally one of my favourite curry houses in South Shields but last night was such a disappointment. The curries ordered were nice however we waited over 50 minutes for our main courses. Nobody updated us till the last minute. One server was lovely and let us know just before it came out. We had barely sat down and they wanted our drinks order, and didn't give us long to look at the menus before they were asking for our order. Which was annoying since the food took so long. I had to ask for water twice before it came as well. The manager seemed very odd and was just standing around watching and staring. The staff were all congregated around the bar and they kept looking over at our table and talking which made us feel quite uncomfortable. The general atmosphere was very strange and there wasn't the usual buzz that there is in the other shields curry houses.

Popped in for a quick pint following the end of year celebration at the local secondary school, very pleasant gentleman serving behind the bar, good selection of beers, and a lovely pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord on pull, £10.40 for two pints and a large coke, would happily return

Delicious crispy batter on beautifully cooked fish. Chips were spot on. I have eaten from here several times and the good quality is always maintained. Highly recommend it.

Table booked for 7.30pm. Pub very messy, no carvery left. Told a 45 minute wait for food. Cued at bar, staff member very friendly and helpful. I asked if they had any chicken dinners left, she said not sure, I'll check. She asked another staff member who listed things not available (chicken not among them). So I ordered 2 dinners and 2 drinks. 15 minutes later staff member came over to say no chicken dinners so had to re-order. Staff member not really bothered when I complained. Still waiting for food, not impressed! Won't come again!

We visited for a lunch as part of a weekend away to the Embassy. Wow!! If you want a calm relaxed atmosphere where the food is very good quality for a very reasonable price, this is the place to go. Dietary preferences is catered for without any fuss. Fast friendly service adds to the experience. We will be returning here.

Great bar for lovely cocktails and if the suns shining and you hit happy hour you're in for a great time. The staff are always nice here and in the pub upstairs (maltings) and they make a fantastic raspberry mojito and salted caramel expresso martini. Been here with partner and family and everyone enjoys it. Top bar.
