Wolfmann's Eating House

➤ 9A Stanhope Parade, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Vegan • Seafood • British • European

"I had heard great things about this place from family and friends but had somehow never got round to visiting. So after an early finish from work we decided to go for lunch. There is a very chilled atmosphere and an eclectic mix of music playing in the background. The lunchtime menu includes a few main dishes with various paninis. I opted for the lamb and harissa burger while my wife went for the cauliflower and chickpea samosa. They don't sell alcohol but you are welcome to bring your own. The bill came to £30 that included soft drinks and coffee. The staff are super friendly and very informative when it comes to explaining the various dishes. We will return to try the dinner menu."

Mamma Mia Pizzeria

➤ 1 East Street, Whitburn, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Steak • Pasta • Pizza • Cakes

"We have been eating here on a regular basis for a while now. We have taken friends as well as just going as a couple. It is positioned above the Jolly sailor pub so beware there are stairs to climb. There are seats as you enter along with a bar and a room at the back as well. Paula has a wonderful display of photographs from Italy on display to give it a more authentic feel.We have always been warmly welcomed by the staff and you definitely should book to avoid disappointment, they do have a lot of regulars.We have also visited on special occasions such as Halloween, Valentine's Day and new Year's Eve. On these occasions there are always additions to the usual menu or in the case of NYE a set menu which had to be pre ordered.There are always home made bread buns awaiting you followed by another treat on the house. The menu is varied and there is always a specials blackboard. The starter selection is varied but if you plan a dessert go hungry as the starters are definitely not mean portions.We have tried pretty much all the menu between us and whether your taste is pizza, pasta, meat or fish you will not be disappointed. A dish of either veg of gorgeous chunky chips comes with your main from the meat and fish and a side of salad is enough for two should you opt for that.The desserts are very reasonably priced and often have a seasonal special on them. Coffees are a good price and the wine selection is varied and again a decent price. There are a few typically Italian cocktails on offer too.At the end of the meal you are offered a digestif to set you on your way. We have been in a large group for an outing and they cope steadily with delivery of the meals to all without a long gap.The real draw is the friendly welcome and the kindness the staff display along with the obvious hard work to please the customers.Alex has a dry wit and is delighted if you have a good evening.There is a happy hour from 5 with 25% off menu prices.It is closed on a Sunday except for special occasions."

Volare Italiano

➤ 2 St Bede's Terrace, South Tyneside, United Kingdom, NE36 0LE

Pasta • Steak • Pizza • Italian

"The service at this restaurant is fantastic! The staff is very friendly. I was a bit hesitant due to the mixed reviews, but the food was delicious. It's hard to find a place that makes a good spaghetti bolognese, but both my husband and I enjoyed our meals. The prices are reasonable as well. I would definitely come back here. The only downside is that there aren't many parking spots in front of the restaurant, so it could be a problem on busy nights. However, both times I've been there, I've been able to find parking. Service is dine-in."

No4 Cafe Bistro

➤ Station Road, South Tyneside, United Kingdom, NE36 0LE

Vegan • Coffee • British • Vegetarian

"I had to share what an incredible evening we experienced at Vivi's @No4 in East Boldon on Saturday, September 17th. A group of 4 of us were celebrating a 70th birthday with friends and our meal was fantastic! The tapas were delicious with generous portions to share. We enjoyed large king prawns, chicken skewers in a tasty Lime and chilli, honey and spring onion sriracha drizzle – absolutely delightful! There was so much variety to choose from, we ended up sharing 10 tapas dishes, all beautifully presented. In addition, we also ordered 2 pizzas cooked in a wood fire oven. The portions were so generous that we had to take some home as we were so full! The food was accompanied by a highly recommended Spanish wine that perfectly complemented the meal. The service was impeccable and we were made to feel incredibly special. We can't wait to return, it's a definite must-visit!"

The Red Lion

➤ Redcar Terrace, NE36 0PZ, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Meat • Steak • British • Chicken

"So this was our first time visiting this restaurant after hearing some positive feedback from friends. I have to say I am disappointed. Sat at our table to be told there may be a wait for food as there was 2 “big” tables in before us was the first nod that things might not be up to scratch. Sat for 35 minutes before they took our order. 1 of us went to order steak, told there was no steak left at all. I asked what else you got with the chicken and giant Yorkshire to be told that they only had the lamb dinner in large Yorkie pud. I chose the corned beef pie with mash, our friend who wanted the steak chose the “lamb dinner in Yorkshire pud when it arrived it was a chicken breast! Seems they don’t know what they have in the kitchen!! The other main was a sausage casserole with mash…. It looked like a child’s portion. The desserts were ok. We had to keep asking for drinks. Felt like the staff were too busy looking after the “big” tables. If you can’t handle a full restaurant limit the seating plan! Asked for the bill and there’s 4 x £1 extras added. We asked what this was for… to be told that they’re increasing prices on 2 3 course meals. We should be charged the price that was stated on the menu not charged more because you haven’t advertised it accordingly. Overall a disappointing meal out with our friends. We were looking forward to trying this place out but I don’t think we’ll be back."

Bistro Romano

➤ 63 Front Street, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Steak • Pasta • Italian • European

"We visited last night to celebrate our anniversary. The staff go above and beyond their duty. Whether it’s your first or thousand time of visiting... I had steak which was cooked to perfection. Rare just how I like it. With black pudding. It was to...die for. In fact my mouths watering at the thought. My husband had sea bass which was also delicious. We had white wine to accompany our meal. Again lush. The only complaint I have is we had to leave the restaurant before 10pm because of the pandemic. We would’ve loved to have stayed later. Can’t wait to return again. Hopefully soon...."

Blue Bistro

➤ Western Approach, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Steak • Vegan • British • Fast Food

"I made a reservation for myself, my partner, and our son at this restaurant. Upon arrival, the place was quite empty, with only two other diners with a young child. Despite this, we were seated in a corner at the back of the restaurant. The servers who took our drink and food orders were friendly. However, our food arrived quickly and it was evident that our carbonaras were not freshly made, but instead microwaved. While our son's pizza was decent, our order of chips was forgotten. We had to remind a staff member at the bar, and they brought out a small portion of chips when we were almost done with our meals. For a bill of over £60, we were not overly impressed and may not return in the future. It's a shame, as we had enjoyed dining here in the past."

Blacks Corner

➤ 1 St Bedes East Boldon, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Bars • Delis • Coffee • British

"This restaurant offers delicious high-quality food and excellent service. I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast sausage sandwich with chili jam, which kept me satisfied all day. While parking is free along the long road, finding a spot may require some searching. I recommend dining in for a brunch experience. The price per person ranges from £10 to £20. Overall, I rate the food, service, and atmosphere a perfect 5 out of 5."

Lasun

➤ 50 Dean Road, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Pizza • Indian • Seafood • Fast Food

"I had high expectations for this restaurant after hearing great reviews from others and deciding to celebrate my wife's birthday there. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The restaurant was too noisy, with families with young children seated near us and a loud speaker right above our table. I had to put tissue paper in my ears to block out the noise. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food didn't take long to arrive. However, the food was underwhelming and there are better dining options in South Shields. The portions were decent and hot, but not as good as I had hoped. The bill was quite high at 56 pounds, but I was told this is typical. We had starters, main courses, sides, drinks, and the VAT added to the total. Overall, this dining experience was not what I expected."

Eastern Touch

➤ 2/4 Station Approach, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Balti • Asian • Indian • Vegetarian

"I had eaten in this restaurant ca. picturesque and tonight my second takeaway special at both locations I had praised bhuna on pure plz) and at both locations it was hardly warm. the first time I tried, emptied. the starter on a cold plate, at this occasion I ate it out of the film container and it was exactly the same. eating is of a good quality, proportionately enough to consider that it is a special price in the ballpark for mid week fayre. apart from the temperature of the starter, the chips were on the wrong side of the Fahrenheit scale and were actually white in color, so underboiled imho. I'm staying at pilaureis."

Mambo Wine And Dine

➤ Winchester Street, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Kebab • Steak • Pizza • Italian

"Tasty food, presented well across the table. I felt mine was under seasoned but that is splitting hairs and also personal preference. However the decor is luxurious and lovely. The staff were fantastic, well dressed, charming and attentive. Glad there were vegan and gluten free options available, although not advertised (much to the delight of my accompanying party). Cocktails and wine selection were divine. TLDR All in all deffo worth a visit, good across the board"

Namaste Exclusive Indian Cuisine

➤ 389 King George Road, NE34 8AQ, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Asian • Balti • Vegan • Halal

"Booked as a table of 10 (work night out) we are all nurses and having a well deserved night out. Arrived to be told no booking in diary. Person who organised said she booked via Facebook and got a sharp reply “We need to confirm” she said you did and showed him the reply!! Sent to the bar whilst we waited for a table, took around 15 mins. Due to the new covid rules And one way system this meant we had to Go out and come back in when table ready. Plastic screens also on end of tables but to be honest made no difference as the diners were sitting at either side and the screen isn’t wide enough to offer any protection. Some Waiters wearing masks, but most didn’t most of had them on their chin!! Popadom and pickle tray ordered. No idea what was on the pickle tray!! No onion salad or lime pickle, the only one any of us could determine was mango chutney! We all had starters and mains, all food piping hot and no one complained about quality of food. It was all very tasty. Asked for some to be boxed up to take home. Boxes just put in middle of table. One of the group didn’t notice this and his meal was taken and disposed of. Had he had almost 2/3 left! Anywhere else I’ve been they always box for you! Even just a cheap special on ocean road they always box it for you!! Drinks ordered at the table, had to be chased up on one occasion as one drink forgotten. It’s the service that lets this place down. The food is lovely but I’ve had same quality food with better service on ocean road! And it’s cheaper!"

Charlestons Coffee House

➤ 8 Mile End Road, NE33 1TS, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Cafe • Cafés • Seafood • British

"When the food arrived, we were quite disappointed. While some of the dishes were tasty, others were not up to standard. The gravy had already been poured over the food without asking us if we wanted any, let alone how much we preferred. Personally, I prefer just a small amount of gravy. The Yorkshire puddings were soggy due to the excessive gravy, which was disappointing as they should be crispy. The portion sizes were quite small - only two scoops of mashed potato, a small portion of cabbage, one piece of cauliflower, two roast potatoes, a small serving of green peas, and a few carrots. For an extra £5, we could have had a much better meal at a different restaurant. To add to the disappointment, we were not even acknowledged when we left."

Frydays

Fish • Seafood • British • Fast Food

"Tried this place for the very first time and it was really nice, I've put it off for years and I regret it. The staff were lovely and friendly despite it being busy and the tables were very clean. I got scampi and chips with mushy peas, a slice of bread and a pot of tea for less than £10. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm down there well worth every penny and I'll be sure to get some photos of the food for the next review."

Tuscano's

➤ 2 Winchester Street, South Tyneside, United Kingdom, NE33 1NT

Cafés • Pizza • Pasta • Italian

"I had an amazing meal tonight. I can't believe how reasonable the prices are here considering the stellar quality and service! I ordered the seafood pasta and it was absolutely delicious. This restaurant is very family-friendly; my daughter had a massive pizza that she loved. I highly recommend this place - it's fantastic!"

Dilshad

➤ 223 Ocean Road, South Tyneside, United Kingdom, NE33 2JQ

Meat • Curry • Salads • Indian

"I've tried many of the Ocean Road curry houses and to date have never had a bad one. Sadly that statistic is no longer true. Firstly the almost 3 hour delivery time was shocking. Very off tasting pieces of what was supposed to be chicken tikka. A mushroom pilau with about 2 flakes of mushroom. An almost stale and very dry naan bread. The oddest tasting CTM we've ever had. Half went in bin."

Arman Spice In Tyne Dock

➤ 378 South Eldon St, NE33 5SY, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Kebab • Pizza • Indian • European

"Rang in an order for delivery, delivery time was an hour. Food was what I've came to expect from Arman Spice, reasonable quality and quantity. However I ordered a Garlic Naan and was charged for it so I would have expected to have it as part of my order.... When I discovered it had been missed off I rang to query and the guy on the phone seemed very disinterested but assured me one would be delivered straight away.... 3 hours later and no Garlic Naan .... A rip off.... Charging for items and not delivering them. I'll never use them again and advise anyone else to give them a miss..... I'm not mad I'm just disappointed .... Poor form Arman Spice"

The Sea Lodge

➤ United Kingdom, NE33 2JQ, South Tyneside

Pub • Vegan • British • Vegetarian

"Booked The Criterion for a party of 12 for my sister's hen party, we had the bottomless brunch. When I arrived, a little early, I was told we had been given the Snug to use. I was over the moon, it's a great space for a rowdy hen party. The bottomless brunch was a bargain, there's so much choice! Once the drinks started they never stopped flowing and, since we were late starting (the previous occupants took longer than expected to leave), staff were even asking if we wanted more drinks well after our full 2 hours were up. Great service and a lovely venue. This is the second time I've enjoyed the bottomless brunch here and I'd recommend it to anyone."

Royal Tandoori

➤ 216-218 Ocean Road, South Tyneside, United Kingdom

Pizza • Kebab • Indian • Fast Food

"Had their Saturday special red wine, popadum and chapati.I started with prawn cocktail: slightly overflavoured sauce and nothing striking about the ingredients.My main course was lamb (extra £2 wish I 'd gone for meat , which is mutton or goat) Singapore. A bit rubbery for my liking and a very bland sauce.I had mushroom rice, which was flavourless.This was followed by big standard ice cream.The red Wine was a little hairy for me.Popadum and chapati as you 'd expect.Service very prompt and polite.£20 including tip.I 'm not crying about it, but I 'll not come here again if I come to South Shields again.... Cheap, marginally substandard Northern Indian restaurant, on a street of excellent, cheap, Indian restaurants."
