The best restaurants serving British food in Beacon and Bents South Tyneside North East

I called at Michael's cafe yesterday and ordered a sausage sandwich and a bacon sandwich. I was surprised to see him put buttered buns in microwave. He then put sàusage in the chip pan to warm up and then he microwaved my anaemic bacon. When my partner opened her sausage sandwich we realised why he had done bun in microwave it was rock hard. I looked at my bacin and just threw it away.That is not the way to cook never shall i return.

A very lively and good Wetherspoons. Staff great. Only issue is problem with it's serving at the bar. They need to make their mind up. Had signs along bar telling people not to queue just go to bar so people did that. Then removed signs so people started to queue again. Quite orderly. But other customers followed what they had been told by signs to go straight to bsr and not queue. Saw some pretty heated arguments where people felt people were queue jumping. Make your mind up management and get staff to look around and remember order customers were waiting the way it used to happen in pubs. Either organise a queue system or make it clear not to queue and wait at bar with staff who look around abd notice when customers arrive.

Ordered chicken sizzler, was disgusting chunks white chicken tasted like plastic, in chilli sauce not even warm never mind sizzling, brought it to attention of staff, young woman took back into kitchen came back to give us a run down from cook how it was made , then disappeared, no sign of manager, we were left with bowl of chips which had in all intents cost us £20 , before leaving asked speak to manager, same young woman appeared to say he had gone home, I asked her what happened to food we paid for, no offer of drink or dessert as replacement, asked her if it was part of her job to know what customers were not happy about, she was adamant not concerned about bad reviews or customer service saying it was FINE if don't return or give bad reviews to others, customer service non existent, the manager should have dealt with situation before leaving that is if he had actually left, or was concerned about his pubs reputation , obviously not, never go back again !

I went to Life of Riley on Sunday/Monday morning 4th/5th August 2024. We used to call it Spiker Riley as in the past we have had attempts to spike our drinks. The other night we were there till 02:30 and the security in there were absolutely fantastic. One guy inside spotting any trouble and two guys on the door responding. The guys were professional polite and strong when required.My wife and myself felt totally safe as there is the usual mix of Bumpers on Hairy Mikers night. Excellent work guys.

Only dropped two stars because it was freezing inside and it was nearly empty so atmosphere was zero. Two for a birthday bottomless brunch, cocktails brilliant food hot and very tasty with excellent service and the staff singing happy birthday made for a great tuesday afternoon, ( we work stupid shifts ) well done all.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Amazing l. welcoming staff who were very eager to make sure our time here was the best it could be. Food was fantastic, portion sizes are very filling so worth every Penny and very tasty. Offered us a wide selection of drinks and had colouring in things for the children. Only a short walk away from lots of tourist attractions in the town which makes it ideal. Will definitely be back regularly.

Ordered 2 piza’s & 2 portion of fries between my self and 2 children . It was out on the table in less than 5 mins the piza’s weren’t even cooked they were shocking we were all starving the kids had one slice each The fries were rubbish as well big portions but rubbish quality should of just gone to McDonald’s and that’s saying something. Probably the worst meal I’ve ever paid for don’t go there for food shocking

To start the place is almost spotless and they have lots of both indoor and outdoor space. As for the food the fish is beautifully flakey, the mushy peas are perfect, the curry sauce is pleasant and the chips are nothing special. Over all it's good and I would come here again

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.

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.

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 😂🤣😅
