- TTomDurham/County Durham •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat service and good surroundings. Not a big choice on the menu, but food was done lovely. My husband had the Duck Shepherds Pie., and I had the Chicken Escalope. It was all beautifully cooked although a little expensive for the amount. We would return again in the future. The young servers were very pleasant and helpful.More infoThe Engine RoomPrice: Moderate• British• Sunderland•4.5

- HHazelNewcastle and Northumberland •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe loved the food the menu was explained to us for things we didn’t know. The starters were so good we were almost full before the main course arrived. I had a pudding which was so unusual we loved exploring it. I am going to go back as soon as I can.More infoEmberPrice: Moderate• Modern European• Sunderland•4.8
