Reviews in South Shields

We had a fabulous Mother’s Day 3 course meal at the Harbour Lights. Everything was brilliant from service to atmosphere and especially the food in terms of value for money and quality.

We came on a Saturday the food was lovely however it was a very long wait we had waited 30 minutes to get out drinks and roughly an hour and 20 minutes for our food. Service was good.

Booked a table for 10, Staff very friendly, pub has been re-decorated since we were last in and it is a big improvement. Hubby ordered mussels for his starter and he thoroughly enjoyed them, but unfortunately the mains were a great disappointment, 3 ordered mixed grill and all said the meat was tough and tasteless, mushrooms were included on the menu but none on any of the plates, no explanation why or apology.was given. My daughter ordered the chicken parmo and said she enjoyed it. Granddaughter decided not to have anything at all because everything she requested they did not have, grandson ordered a cheese burger, (his favorite meal) he left 3/4 because he said it was dry. Friend ordered Hunters Chicken which she rated as okay, I myself had steak which I found also dry, the presentation of the food didn't make it look appealing either, all in all sorry to say we won't be going back. Maybe we were just unlucky as read the reviews and most were good but my hard earned cash I like to spend on something I can enjoy.

Food was excellent as always . It’s really good value for money too . Becoming one of my favourite places to eat

Myself and two friends ate at Harbour Lights on 7th March. We waited over an hour for food to arrive, but it was absolutely delicious.

1st time here for a meal, lovely service and staff, food recommendation from manager & it was very tasty and good value for money, will definitely return and recommend

Was disappointed with meal, because of good reviews was looking forward to our meal. Had roast of the day, meat was lovely but Yorkshire pudding was terrible it was tough and like cardboard, soup watery and crumble heated in microwave so crumble was soft, maybe we were just unlucky

The food was lovely + all the staff so friendly definitely go back

Good service and Good meal.

First time sitting in for Sunday lunch. The service and food was outstanding, we all thoroughly enjoyed it and will definately be back. The staff are really friendly and professional and even though they were all so busy, they were always happy to help.

Mince and Dumplings with Chips and Mushy Peas were very nice. However, the dumpling could do with more Leek mixed in with it or even some onion and herbs to be able to enhance its flavour, they were also a bit stodgy and not light and fluffy as my Nanna used to make. Good value for money as plenty on the plate to fill you up. Fish and Chips available as a small portion was lovely, good batter and lovely chips. Looking at the great comments for the Sunday Lunches I must come in and try them sometime.

Food was excellent and service was very good and definitely value for money first time been there definitely going back and atmosphere was relaxing

Top notch food, great value. Good atmosphere.

Great food and great value for money

Lovely food, plenty choices, very good value for money . We will be back.

Had an exceptionally delicious Sunday dinner. Starters were super tasty and served promptly by our waitress who was lovely. Mains were gorgeous. We had belly pork, beef and mince and dumplings. There was a good variety of veggies and came with mash, roasties and a Yorkshire pudding plus extra gravy. Desserts were delightful and we were ready to pop! Loved the fact this venue has a wide range of non alcoholic drinks. 10/10 we’ve already re booked and would certainly recommend to friends and family.

Sunday dinner was absolutely delicious! I had the belly pork which was cooked perfectly. The childrens mince and dumplings were so tasty and portion was huge! Others in the party got the beef and they said it was amazing. The dinners came with colliflower cheese too as a side at no extra cost which was fantastic. Service was brilliant and the price was really reasonable. Only thing would be I’d love it if they done lamb but that’s purely personal preference
