Splendid - Edit
The vegan smashed patty with vegan cheese was really nice one of the nicest vegan cheeses I’ve tried, and the garlic mayo is one of the best I’ve had. The chunky chips are really good too. We also got the moving mountains hotdog to share.

Nice place - Edit
Nice relaxing place and great to feel part of the social enterprise. Slight mistake with our order but we didn’t mind. Portions v big so, although we were hungry, couldn’t eat it all!

The Times They Are a-Changin' - Edit
Fantastic new venture in my hometown South Shields. I'm a frequent visitor and sampled many dishes since it first opened in 2019, with my personal favourites being the cheezers, hotdog, sunday roast, breakfast, afternoon tea, chicken gyros and quiche. The selection of cakes is also superb and I would definitely recommend the lemon poppy seed or chocolate caramel cake, which are so moist and moorish.
Read moreStaff are super friendly and there are plenty of games and crafts to keep the children entertained. Location is perfect also and just a short walk from the metro, park and beach, making this a great place to visit to eat in or takeout.
