Fantastic sunday dinner and service girls can’t do enough to make sure everything is fine highly recommend wouldn’t go anywhere else

Lovely food and atmosphere. Large portions of tasty food in a relaxed environment.

Lovely butterflied chicken Very generous portions Staff very pleasant and helpful

Second visit to the Harbour Lights to try the Friday steak deal. It was wonderfull. Lovely table overlooking the harbour....super staff, very friendly and welcoming. Food was tremendous....gorgeous home made chunky chips and succulent steak and 2 for £34.99....with a drink!!!. A must visit and booking is recommended...they get busy.

I'm seriously running out of things to say about the harbour lights ! It is a wonderful place to eat and drink. The food, well, it just gets better and better,tasty , home cooked and fresh. The staff are the best, always there to help and make sure everything is ok. The views also add to the experience. Best place to go for a meal. Thank you Jan and Michael and everyone x

Lunch with my family at the Harbour Lights. Our meals were lovely. Well presented, hot & tasty. When we’re all looking after our pennies… it’s good to know that you’re going to have a good, freshly prepared meal and the staff are always friendly & helpful… even when it’s busy (which is often). Thank you

Dad and I went for Sunday lunch, both had the turkey, and it was delicious. The best Sunday lunch out and we've tried a few locally including hotels. Can't wait to return.

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.

Our 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!

I 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

Another 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.

I 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.

We 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!

Great 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.

Went 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.
