Usually order from here, generally it’s ok, but tonight what a disaster, food arrived late, driver tells me he’s not from restaurant but helping out as they have no drivers, pizza freezing cold and the fries were like uncooked oven chips, what a shocker! This place is going downhill and fast. No more ordering from me!

Had the sliders as my starter. Chicken was dry and didn’t have much flavour, partners starter didn’t arrive with mine (didn’t come for another 10 minutes after I had finished mine) then had the T bone steak (medium) won’t lie was absolutely beautiful, the fillet side although smaller was absolutely stunning melted in the mouth. The rump side slightly chewier as expected but was still beautiful. Perfectly cooked

Went here last week and I have to say it was simply brilliant. Expectations were not high with the restaurants location however and price band but it was one of the best quality, value meals I've had in South Tyneside for quite some time. The service was cheerful, unobtrusive and extremely prompt. The waitresses were all smiling, polite and attentive without being overwhelming with their attention. Just as great service should be. The food was simply delicious. Portions were certainly not scrimped upon and the quality of the seafood sizzler, steak and seafood pasta were all of an equal level to

Lovely venue with really nice decor and nice friendly staff. Really good selection of drinks and very clean. Only reason for marking it down to 3 stars is we ordered our steaks medium but as you can see from the pics it was nearly well done. Shame as everything else about this place is brilliant but to call yourself a steakhouse then can't cook steaks properly is not good in my book !
