Charming traditional pub with decent street food. The service is lovely.
My pizza was burnt on a lot of the crust. You can try to argue it was char, but it crumbled to ash. The unburnt parts were OK but I didn’t love the dough.
The fried chicken was juicy. The breading was light and tasted like chip shop batter. I couldn’t notice any spice or seasoning (if there was any) but the sauces were packed full of flavour so made up for it. The batter fell off the tenders so I ate it separately from the chicken.
Always been a decent pub but the beer selection and quality of food is getting better and better. Always rotating keg lines to suit every taste plus a lot of craft cask, and also cans. The food is amazing. Everything. I have tried the pizzas, chicken, burrata salad and different types of the loaded fries and they are all out of this world. My favourite place to eat in town right now.
Mine and my partners favourite place to visit if we want some authentic pizza. I'm not the greatest fan of fried chicken but this is amazing no grease at all.
Another CAMRA Good Beer Guide pub in the 2023 edition that Casta found. Lovely bar area with a lounge on the other side of the entrance hall. There is a rear patio as well. The only downside on our visit was the live band in the upstairs venue. The downstairs juke box was loud but the base from upstairs made the ceiling a giant woofer. Like bad feedback. The beer however was excellent. I took a Three Kings brewery Americal Pale called Rain Shadow. Lots of real ale choice plus draught cider.
Great pub. Absolutely fantastic pizza. Cracking service. Great company.
Can't recommend this place enough, first visit today (to @wild_firepizza not the Isis) and didn't disappoint. Pizza's cooked perfectly with delicious toppings including the locally made B-Sting hot honey (Durham), Block and Bottle Nduja (Newcastle), Fat Unicorn Salami (Sunderland) and Properoni (UK). Fries were good too. See you again soon.
This was a little gem we visited as Southampton fans after loosing badly at the Stadium of Light. Was really busy after the match so left and went to a pub further up the road and then came back when it was quieter - and are so glad we did!! Lovely atmosphere, excellent range of beers and ciders - including Belgian beers. We ended up having food here which was delicious- the lovely waitress explained the menu with us which was mostly pizza with fancy names - but she explained it in simple terms- pepperoni, spicy pepperoni, veggi etc. The chips were to die for especially the garlic Mayo and Parmesan. We also had the chicken strips which were yummy. Staff were friendly and we Would definitely return if we are in Sundered again. Very close to the Premier Inn.
This bar/pub is head and shoulders (think Quinn stood with Steed) above any other in Sunderland.
A brilliant selection of drinks. Cask and craft beers. Ciders a plenty.
Also the food is amazing!!
Pizza, chicken and fries. All cooked to perfection and delicious.
To top it of, the service and staff match, if not better food and drinks.
I will be back, even when there is no match day.

Constantly changing casks and kegs along with regular lager for those not as crafty. Hard to beat wild fire pizza. Combo deal on a Tuesday for £10 is a delight but their normal menu is also very hard to beat. Great pub environment, old school feel to the establishment works tremendously well. Often lively but always excellent quick service.
Interesting sort of pub spread across 2 or 3 levels, lots of wood panelling and faux ship's mermaids. Decent beers and atmosphere.
Went there today and the food was very nice!! Also, it is a cozy pub with beautiful decorations. As a non-english native, I appreciate the typical english pubs and I find them very nice :)
