The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Millfield Sunderland North East

Been coming here for 20 year and today was the first time it felt odd, filling wasn’t the usual size and the woman serving oldish women had a right attitude shaking her head. I had to ask for a bag 4 times to her disgust. Still won’t stop be coming but gutted.

Visited for afternoon tea this week with a friend. You have a choice of 3 afternoon teas: a traditional, grandad g (savoury such as scotch egg, quiche, sausage roll and a cheese board to replace many of the desserts), and American (with burgers, chicken wings etc rather than the sandwiches). You have to book your afternoon tea in advance and pay a £5 deposit per head which is completely reasonable. We were served very quickly on arriving and the service was good throughout. However the food is the stand out, everything we had was absolutely delicious, all homemade and no faults at all with what we ate. The quantity of food served was huge, with 8 finger sandwiches per person on the traditional afternoon tea! There were 2 scones per person, and a variety of cakes each including a 3 tier slice of gateaux! The staff were happy to provide boxes for us to take leftovers home. I would 100% return for afternoon tea, and also to try more from the menu.

Went to waterstones today 30th September and was treated extremely professionally by two members of staff unfortunately I didn't get their names one was from Bulgaria and we had an amazing conversation the other was extremely polite and called me my lovely which believe me at 65 made my day. hang on to those two they will keep your customers coming back my sister and I certainly will. Well done

We stopped for a hot drink whilst in the area on business and the assortment of delicious looking cakes and savoury items on show looked amazing. We restrained ourselves and had an almond hot chocolate and a banana nut latte and both were really tasty. Staff were really friendly and it a warm and inviting place to go. Would go again if in the area.

A beautiful 18th century pub which oozes charm & comfort both outside and inside. The bar staff were attentive & very helpful. Ordered drinks & Sunday Lunch. Drinks served very promptly & chilled. We ordered Beef Sunday Lunch, and One Lamb. They arrived promptly & beautifully presented. The Lamb was melt in your mouth, vegetables amazingly fresh & tasty & gravy full taste with the light crispy Yorkshire Pudding. The Beef was beautifully cooked & succulent & all vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding & Gravy superb. The Dun Cow is a sun trap outside & moved outside to enjoy the sunshine & another drink. It made for a beautiful afternoon & very relaxing. My compliments to the staff & kitchen for beautiful food & drinks & a warm & friendly charm as well as the beauty & history of the architecture, inside & out. We will be back often.

Tables not cleaned service very every slow the whole place looked scruffy would not recommend this branch to anyone and it smells awful

Lovely coffee and white hot chocolate

Always friendly and efficient, Sherriff consistently delivers friendly service and top drinks tips. Thanks to the two ladies who always recommend gluten free snacks to me when I visit

Perhaps my worst experience with a restaurant. On the transition from 2022 to 2023, I booked a table for dinner on 31/12 and then attended the musical event at the fire station. I was very pleased with the quality of service, food, and the musical event. This year, I invited some friends to do the same program, which was to have dinner at the engine room and then go to the event. We booked the table in advance, the reservation for dinner was accepted, and it was mentioned that the kitchen would close at 17:45, which was strange as it was the last dinner of the year. However, we accepted and reserved a table for 4. We arrived at the engine room around 17:15, went to the reserved table, and a staff member appeared apologizing, saying that there was almost nothing available from the menu; they were out of stock. What a terrible way to treat customers. We got up, left, and searched for another restaurant, which was challenging to find as they were fully booked. In conclusion, this is not how you gain customers and build a good reputation for a place.

My son and I called in here for lunch before a Sunderland game, we had had little luck at several places prior this trying to find somewhere that offered gluten free options which he requires so to find they do gluten free pizzas was a great result. The portion size was huge with fries, it would easily have been big enough for two, my son commented it "was amazing". The place was clean and appeared to have plenty of staff on, I didn't get his name but the barman was helpful, checked with the kitchen about availability and as milk (which is what my son usually drinks) isn't on the till gave him it for free. Some of the places we passed pre match didn't look particularly child friendly and this didn't overly from the outside but it turned out to be excellent, football was on the various screens around the place and there was a good atmosphere. I had the crispy chicken wrap which was good, the slaw was excellent. We will be back for a pre match lunch soon.

Service was poor unfortunately at Gindon Broadway lack luster to say the least . Bought cakes and one that was offered to me had been put in bag for some previous customer ...not good....cakes would have been put on top of my hot take out dish if I hadn't noticed . Disappointed

Went in for brunch whilst shopping - first thing we noticed was grime/bits stuck on the salt and pepper pots - coffees arrived and the mugs didn’t look clean so we chose not to drink our coffee - breakfasts arrived - bacon looked anemic, Asia’s age was obviously re heated, mushrooms dry, eggs on one breakfast were under cooked and looked like phlegm, the hash brown was soggy and dripping in grease (we used the napkin to soak up the grease) we just have a look to each other, and like the coffee, chose not to eat the offering! I have seen pics of the food servings on here and can say ours were nothing like that lol The staff were lovely and polite so we chose just to get up and leave and not make a fuss

Not a very friendly welcoming I received when at the bar to order some drinks. Glasses were dirty all the times I ordered & the staff didn't really care when I brought this matter up. Got overcharged for a round of drinks too. The attitude of the staff and management are very unprofessional. They are nothing but rude, vulgar & condescending to their customers. Avoid this place at all costs.
