The best restaurants serving British food in Sunderland North East

Had an amazing afternoon tea, lovely atmosphere, all the staff lovely and very attentive, food was delicious. We will definitely be back to try other menu. Highly recommend 👌.

The food is really nice, bit on the expensive side but I would say you get what you pay for as it is clearly of good quality however the service is really slow, drinks were taken immediately, but took a while to recieve our drinks, waited about half an hour for food which I didn’t mind as it was busy but from us being finished to our table being cleared i would say about 10/15 minutes past by then once we asked for our bill about another 10 minutes before we recieved it. Lovely food would recommend this place as the staff are very lovely however, not a quick place to stop by and grab a bite to eat if that’s what your looking for. Overall I would say I’d return here

First visit here. Lovely ‘proper’ pub with lots of history. Greeted warmly upon arrival and drinks brought to our table. Got the steak and ale pie with veg and mash. Absolutely delicious and home cooked, no microwave meals here. Dessert was ginger pudding which was knockout. Staff were all lovely and we were made welcome. I told them we would be back and we will. It was excellent.

The service was great, everyone very friendly, didn’t wait long for food at all perfect time to fit a few drinks in and chill and enjoy the moment!

Nice pub, cosy atmosphere makes you feel welcome, staff are very friendly and helpful. Alot to choose from on the menu, food looks amazing or just a few drinks whatever you prefer.

Absolutely incredible service from start to finish, in particular want to thank Franco for his exceptional customer service so friendly, polite and ever so helpful and informative an absolute asset to the place. Food was delicious highly recommend the chicken lemonado incredible.

When there as a family of four, Being before quite a few times without any problem, but this time me and my son had burgar, chips and extra slice of cheese and onion rings plus its says salard. Both burgars had no salard and were missing extra cheese. The burgars in the photo looked really nice, the ones we got we got were very thin and tasteless. The staff are great but very much doubt we will be back.

Brilliant service, amazing breakfasts very welcoming . We stayed for 2 nights over the road 13 of us and we enjoyed the massive breakfasts!! Really reasonable lroces too

My husband and I had the duck with waffles and orange sauce, which was so delicious. My little girl was made chips and sausages off menu and she loved it. I have to say the chips were delicious. The hospitality was great and the gentleman who served us was so friendly and connected with the little one so much. We will definite visit again.

Lovely pub but really disappointed by the female member of staff serving who blatantly ignored us waiting patiently at the bar and deliberately served others who clearly arrived after us. Poor attitude and the pub deserves better quality of staff than this. Walked out and went to Tin of Sardines down the road - proper and fair service....

We visited last week as the sharing platter sounded nice. It was! We had tickets to be somewhere so couldn't stay long but will definitely visit again for a meal. We had the meat & cheese platter, served with bread, grapes, chutney. They told us the cheese was from Northumberland so they support regional producers. The setting was lovely, small and cosy, great view and warm, friendly staff. Well worth a visit, we've been once and will definitely go back.

Always get xl and are a great size apart from this time hopefully a 1 of been using ernies for years 💪 so not going to slate it for 1 bad fish

Very convenient for anyone travelling on A1. Although located in an industrial estate, this is anything but industrial. The tea room is beautifully decorated and gives you a feeling of Alice in Wonderland tea party. The food is great and fresh. We will certainly be visiting here again!

I am reviewing the casino. We waited so long for Grosvenor to reopen this casino. It was fantastic. managements welcomed us. All staff greeted us. I can honestly say this casino has the best staff ever and we have been to quite a few up and down the country. No matter how busy they get we are always treated with respect and staff are always courteous. There are many a casino could learn a lot from Sunderland. Covid precautions excellent. Made us feel safe and secure totally understood our anxieties.All wore masks and constant cleaning, Cant praise them enough. thank-you.

Booked for my son's birthday for Sunday lunch. Absolutely beautiful food! Pink beef and belly pork 10/10 and I had rubarb crumble and custard and it was delicious! Great portions and the staff are lovely. Definitely recommend we will be back.
