Sheepfolds Stables has announced the launch of MINE – the latest food venture at the Sunderland venue.
Having identified demand and listened to customer feedback, MINE – situated within the venue’s Back of the Pit bar – is a joint café-style venture between Sheepfolds Stables and Ryan McVay, owner of The Calabash Tree who already has a popular restaurant within the award-winning venue.
MINE will offer breakfasts, baps and burgers 9.30am-3pm seven days a week. The menu will include traditional breakfast favourites from a Full English and bacon, sausage and egg sandwiches to bubble and squeak. In the coming weeks, MINE will offer grab-and-go options for those looking for a quick lunch with vegetarian, vegan and kids’ options also available.
MINE will complement the venue’s existing mix of independent food operators – meaning the site will now provide a morning to night food offer from Monday to Sunday.
MINE customers can relax and dine-in using the inside seating or main outdoor courtyard area, or opt for grab-and-go served through the main hatch to takeaway. After 3pm, the space will be used as a bar or private hire area.
Sheepfolds Stables’ Rick Marsden said: “This is another step forward for Sheepfolds Stables and one where we have listened to customers’ feedback and identified what people are looking for. We are constantly developing Sheepfolds Stables to become the very best hospitality venue not just on Wearside but regionally too, and MINE, our newest venture opened in conjunction with Ryan, will enable us to do just that.”
Ryan added: “MINE fully complements all the other businesses here and offers customers the very best traditional breakfasts every day from 9.30am. Whether people are coming down for a bacon sandwich or we’re supplying local businesses with breakfast or lunch, the classics are all on the menu so we’re excited to be open.”
