Visited here for the first time for food and a drink and we must say we were very happy if not bursting at the seams! I had the Korean pork starter and then the chicken Parma with hot n spicy topping. The Pork starter was absolutely delicious as was my main course but it was impossible to eat everything on the plate and definitely no room for a dessert. My wife had the potato skins starter, cooked to perfection and crispy with soft middles, then the smoked Haddock which was absolutely gorgeous. Cannot complain whatsoever about the food and the girls serving were brilliant. Always checking on us and swift service. We’ve found a gem and will be back again.

Fab food and service perfect definitely be back

Visited last night. Both my wife and I had mussels to start. Spicy tomato sauce for me, Thai curry for my wife. Delicious! I ordered fish and chips. When it arrived, it was the best piece of cod that I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. It was delicious. So big that I couldn’t eat the chips. My wife had mince and dumplings, which she throughly enjoyed

Harbour Lights is back on top form. Food is gorgeous, perfect home cooked grub. Had roast beef dinner, but intended to have the mince and dumplings. Will return next week for that. Homemade chips are the best. Lovely staff. Log burner on and topped up, could've easily sat there rest of the day.

Fantastic meal Fantastic staff what more can you ask for Michael and Jan are just fabulous hosts

Location lovely, food excellent home cooked comfort food. Great for the blustery day we picked. Lovely staff and very homely atmosphere. We'll definitely return.

Very organised. Staff brilliant. Food lovely. Didn’t like pepper in mashed potato and turnip - far too much. Otherwise no complaints.

Very nice pub/restaurant overlooking the Tyne harbour. The food is lovely, freshly cooked and is good English fare. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The portions can be rather big, but they also cater for those with a smaller appetite. One little criticism, they tend to serve mushy peas, with just about everything, but don't be afraid to ask for an alternative. They're very accommodating. I recommend and will be back.

Fab food, as usual, good atmosphere , with friendly and attentive staff. What’s not to like. Will be back

Totally enjoy The Harbour Lights, the Christmas Fare was lovely.

Had a meal at the harbour lights on Christmas eve, my wife had the fish and chips and thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately I had the gammon steak and it very very salty to the point I couldn't eat it, the manager was excellent about it and I didn't have to pay for it, other than that we had a very nice time, the staff are excellent and very friendly, we will be back

Breakfast was very nice and very good value for money service was good too.

Excellent food,had the Christmas turkey lunch,very good.Slice of turkey about half an inch thick and very tender laid on a bed of mash,lovely crisp Yorkshire pudding with lots of veg side dishes and extra gravy.Then Christmas pudding with Brandy sauce.Delicious!

We often come here for lunch on Sundays and once again we were not disappointed. Beef melted in my mouth no need for a knife and hubby's chicken was succulent not at all dry. Staff were as friendly , welcoming and efficient as always which makes lunch even better. Would highly recommend you try here but don't forget to book first as it is very popular

Another fantastic lunch at harbour lights. Could not fault the food or the service. Excellent value for money beef just melted no need for a knife and hubbys chicken was succulent not dry. Would highly recommend you try here but don't forget to book

We visited Harbour Lights last night as a Christmas get together , we knew the food was good as we had heard . We were slightly apprehensive as the last time we were in , the staff were very abrupt to the point of ignorance, ( this was 8 months ago) . We needn’t have been concerned , it’s now in the hands of the same person who has the Lookout pub just round the corner. Food was excellent, steaks cooked to perfection , staff could not have been better , lovely polite people who came over a number of times to check if all was ok . Highly recommended place for both food or just a nice quiet drink. Will definitely be back , check out the Lookout also , well done all .

Great food and great service. Staff are very friendly and get to know you. Had the fish and chips this time which were GREAT. Normally alternate with the Chicken Parmesan which is also GREAT. Would thoroughly recommend a meal here.

We attended for lunch on Tuesday 17th for my nanas birthday. Staff were lovely and attentive, a few of us had starters of pork belly sticky bites which were lovely. Half of our table had mince and dumplings which everyone said was beautiful. I had chicken parmo with mushroom topping, topping was lovely but chicken a little dry and a little burnt on the sides my wife had hunters chicken and again unfortunately overcooked but everything else the sides etc were lovely. Overall we had a lovely time and would go back and maybe order the mince and dumplings next time as they looked beautiful.
