Really disappointed always had lovley meals here but this time all I can say is the chips were hard and crispy . This tells me they had been fried more than once. My partners were fine so I obviously got the stuff that had stood for ages. Not sure if I will be back.
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsOur Gammon Steak meal gets a massive thumbs up, also the Chicken Flatbread gets a massive thumbs up. The Pork with Black Pudding Mash was delicious!
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsI booked a table for 3 at 12.45pm yesterday. I forgot just how good the experience was! From walking in to be greeted to the fabulous food which we all thoroughly enjoyed. My husband had salmon and it was cooked to perfection. The price of the meals is very good for the quality of food provided. We will be back sooner this time. Many thanks, Caroline
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsAnother great experience at Harbour Lights South Shields. Booked in advance as Sunday is very popular. Warm greeting and shown to our table. Water provided for our dog and then came to take of our other. Drinks, starter and main (Rump of Beef) came out swiftly despite most tables occupied. Staff checked in that everything was ok. Definitely recommend and will visit next time we are in the area.
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsI had a featherblade of beef and Mark had the rump (pink) Sunday lunch on 31st May 2026 The portions are a good size my beef melted in my mouth as I like it. Marks was pink but could have been more for him but that's Personel choice. The staff friendly and can't do enough for you. Fast service but you never feel rushed.
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsWe had a lovely meal on Fri 29th at Harbour Lights. Salmon and cottage pie, served with vegetables, both were delicious. Home cooked food, generous portions and reasonably priced. We'll definitely return next time we visit the area. Thank you!

Harbour Lights – South ShieldsGreat breakfast meeting spot at an excellent price. The English breakfasts are always very good and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. There's an area for well behaved dogs and another that's dog free, so there's something for everyone. It's our go to breakfast spot when we meet family and friends.
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsWent for Sunday lunch, I had honey roast ham and my partner had the braised beef. I didn't say anything at the time but I thought the portion of ham compared to the beef was poor. As for value for money its comparable with a more local venue we go to, but the the meat portions are better.
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsThis place is becoming our regular now. Welcoming staff and an excellent atmosphere. Great menus choices, classic pub food with a specials board, which changes frequently. The food is absolutely amazing, always fresh and hot, great quality and reasonably priced. Huge portions which stop us from having desserts, they look fab though. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, especially for the views
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsNot sure when the Harbour Lights started their breakfasts from Monday to Saturdays, (9am to 11am) so we decided to give it a go. Whereas there’s plenty of pubs and cafes doing breakfasts, the Harbour Lights was a great choice for quality and value. Initially we’d only booked for 2 but at list minute family wanted to come, they unfortunately got stuck in traffic. We explained this to the waitress and nothing was a problem. She gave us our tea and coffee whilst we waited and was very patient. All the staff were friendly too. There’s a lot of options apart from the normal type breakfast (we chose the middle option traditional. The brave or very hungry could tackle a belly buster breakfast !) Definitely another successful string to the bow for the pub!
Harbour Lights – South ShieldsWe had lovely pizzas and service. Pizza was delicious! However, on my pizza there was only one piece of chilli, rather than distributed across the pizza. The women's toilets were disappointing. One was locked. One blocked with toilet roll. A seat hanging off. And no toilet roll in any cubicle.
The Waterfront, Home of the Log Fire Pizza – South ShieldsCame for a special treat for my mums birthday. Venue is so clean and fresh with great views. The food was absolutely delicious and pipping hot . Mixed grill was huge and required a take away box, chicken parsmesean was stunning, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and the staff were so accommodating. Would recommend a visit to anyone wanting great food and a positive experience.
