Another great meal with friendly service.

Great meal here with my friend on 4th July. I had the mixed grill and she had a roast chicken dinner. Both more than we could handle so the waitress offered a bag for my dog. Which he also enjoyed, well why wouldn't he? Mixed grill was the best I have ever had and I've had a few. I am gluten intolerant and the owner / manager was very knowledgeable so I could eat the sausages too - which were excellent. Already recommending to friends .

Went for lunch with my daughter & a friend. The seafood menu has so much choice as does the day to day menu. I had the crab meat in a scottie with homemade chips. Delicious. My daughter had the tandoori monkfish with rice & poppadom. This would have been delicious, but the sauce was far too salty. The dish contained capers & i think this contributed to the saltiness. My friend had the fish pie & this was delicious with huge chunks of fish and bubbling cheese on top. Definitely be returning very soon.

I took my Family who now reside in Texas where they eat a lot of Pizzas they say your Pizzas are the best they have tasted very impressed with the restaurant food and service 10/10 from us

Food is amazing as always, we had the chicken kiev, tastes fantastic....because I love garlic it could have done with more on it l. Service is always second to none, friendly and efficient staff. Fantastic all round

Fantastic food and service as always

Once again the team never fail . Im all about service, and the guys at the harbour light's have it in abundance! Meal, 100% quailty and great price They look after the customer with pricing structure.. if looking for a sunday lunch, youve found it thanks again see you soon

We’d heard great things about the Harbour lights in its new guise. (Not geared up for a pub, more like a restaurant. We’d previously been 2 weeks ago and had a 5 out of 5 rating for our visit. We booked for 1pm and they were having to turn people away as it was full. Braised beef feather blade and liver and onions, separate veg were excellent. Staff were friendly and included a check back during our meal. The restaurant deserves to be a hit for years to come.

Two very satisfied customers, staff were great and of course the food was excellent. We will be back soon!

A lovely place to eat. Very relaxed and staff were very friendly. Will be going back.

Booked in for meal last night (28/6/25) and must say we thoroughly enjoyed it. Ordered rump steak and was cooked to perfection, nice chunky chips salad and black pudding. Ordered extra onion rings and portion was huge. Staff very friendly and attentive. No hesitation in recommending. We will return

The meal was very good but with a couple of caveats. Firstly, it needed to be aesthetically pleasing. With the cajun chicken and chips appearing to be the sane colour, it neede an addition of a bit of salad, a bit of colour to break up the same colour on the plate.. The cajun chicken was a bit too salty. As a former head chef I do know about sight and taste. Overall very good, just needs attention to colour. Remember, people eat initially with their sight. Obviously cannot comment on other dishes, just this one but overall an excellent experience. Would eat there again

Lovely food as always, huge portions. Staff very friendly

Dined here a number of times. It is our goto if passing through South Shields. The food is excellent and the staff are very efficient and friendly. Usually very busy so booking is a good idea. Jan and Michael run a great establishment with a very efficient and congenial team. The prices are very reasonable.

Another lovely evening in one of our favourite places. Can never fault the food, the staff or the value for money. So welcoming for a relaxed evening with friends. We'll be back.
