Sunderland Bid gets it teeth into Restaurant Week…

Sunderland Restaurant Week is returning for a bold celebration of Wearside’s eateries. Here’s what’s been served up this autumn…

25 September - 3 October

It’s here! One of Sunderland’s mostbeloved events is making a welcome return to the table this autumn, as it’s just been announced that Sunderland Restaurant Week is serving up a treat as thousands across the city can tuck into a whole host of cuisines at a bargain price. So, here’s the dates for your diaries. Sunderland Restaurant Week will be back from 25 September to 3 October, and Sunderland BID have an incredible range of Wearside restaurants, pubs, bars and cafes ready to delight hungry revellers. New to the table? Fear not! The premise of Sunderland Restaurant Week is simple; participating venues put together £5, £10 and £15 deals which will help to bring in customers who are eager to either return to favourite eateries or try somewhere new! Sunderland Restaurant Week has always been a major event for the city centre; as restaurants and surrounding businesses not only enjoy a surge in trade during quieter periods, but welcome a raft of new faces to the table. The city’s first Restaurant Week was held in 2017, with participants recording as much as a 40 per cent increase in footfall and a £250,000 boost to the local economy. Sharon Appleby, Chief Executive of Sunderland BID, commented on how Sunderland Restaurant Week is a great opportunity for people to sample the city’s diverse food scene. “We all know how hospitality has been badly hit over the past year but we are very lucky in Sunderland that the restaurant scene has not only survived but is actually thriving,” she said. “We have some absolutely amazing places to eat across the city now which is helping to strengthen our offer. “Restaurant Week is the perfect opportunity for people to try new places or visit somewhere they may not have been for a while and at the same time help support the local economy.”
