Reviews in South Shields

We have been to the Harbour Lights several times now since they reopened. Every time the good has been amazing and the service impeccable! The staff are lovely and a credit to the management, ( Claire even remembers what I drink!) we will definitely be back!

Absolutely delicious food!!! Staff are very accommodating, very ample portion sizes, cannot fault this place 10/10

Lovely clean well presented restaurant, great service. 1st visit here as live local now. Food was served quick, husbands fish and chips lovely, I didn't enjoy the chicken parmesan as much, piled on top of the chips therefore making them soggy. Sauce was a bit too thick for me, but I would definitely return choose a different dish.

Went there for dinner on Thursday night. I had the seafood carbonara. It had no seafoood in it. Was salmon and fish only and really bland. I kept adding salt to season but didn’t really help. Barely ate any. The waitress asked at the start of the meal before i barely tasted it. Then the waitress at the end asked and I told her my opinion. She did say I could have had something else but a bit late but no deductions on the bill. My friend had the gammon steak half was fine and the other half overcooked. Staff were pleasant enough. But based on this I would go back for food

We had the most delicious Sunday dinner,couldn't fault a thing.The staff were efficient,friendly and helpful,my husband chose whitebait for starter,the scrumptious roast belly pork for his main and New York cheesecake for dessert. I had the featherblade of beef which was so tender and tasty,the veg was fresh and cooked perfectly,and the Yorkshire pudding crispy,just how I like them.I had apple crumble and custard for dessert.Would highly recommend this great pub and we will definately return.

Excellent quality meals, very large portions and great service. A little gem of a place.

Good value friendly staff will go back

Lovely Sunday lunch, nice atmosphere and friendly staff

good food and service.will go again

Cheap as chips for an elite experience with the best view in Shields The Sausages cooked on the grill really sets this breakfast apart, absolutely delicious. If chef did the same with the bacon every time it would be perfect!

Me and my family have eaten here a few times, Steak night, Sunday Lunch each time has been absolutely brilliant gorgeous food, friendly staff who couldn't do anymore to make you feel welcome, a lovely atmosphere inside couldn't ask for anything more. I would highly recommend to everyone to try this little gem out you will not be disappointed, also prices are very very reasonable (thank you to all the staff your all amazing) see you again soon.

Sunday lunch for seven and birthday celebration for 91 years young . Atmosphere was pleasantly busy. Well attended to and very knowledgeable about ceoliac needs of one guest. Service was excellent and staff friendly and polite. Everyone very satisfied with whole occasion .

My partner & I visited on Saturday night and we both had main meals without starters. Both meal were really good as were the staff. Meal prices were reasonable & the alcoholic drinks were about normal for this type of venue. Only one complaint charged £2.15 for a slimline tonic mixer bit of a rip off there. Would visit again.

Visited Friday night, staff were very attentive. It was very busy when we first arrived. Food was amazing, the Tomahawk steak was the best I have had. We had a lovely night

Visited with family for Mother's 88th birthday lunch We received a very warm welcome and served by such friendly competent staff.. It was a busy service,always a good indicator, but no distraction at all in the quality of the food served. The meals were very hearty and flavoursome and absolutely great value for money. I will be visiting again without a doubt.

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.
