Restaurant week is set to return to Sunderland in September, with a chance for food lovers to bag a £300 prize and a travel voucher as well as dining out at the city’s best venues.
Organised by Sunderland BID, the twice-yearly event will take place September 14-22.
As part of the event, the BID is partnering with Tyne and Wear Metro operator Nexus to offer anyone who collects five stamps and receipts from participating restaurants, bars and cafés the chance to win a £300 Sunderland gift card plus a £50 Tyne and Wear Metro Pop Pay As You Go card.
The gift card can be redeemed at 200 venues throughout the city – from bars and restaurants to shops, salons and therapy centres, the Sunderland Empire Theatre, and the Omniplex cinema.
Newcomers for the second Restaurant Week of 2024 include The Botanist, I Scream for Pizza and Vito’s Osteria – while venues including Asiana, Angelos, Ivy House and Port of Call are back once again.
Sharon Appleby, chief executive of Sunderland BID, said: “Restaurant Week has been instrumental in making Sunderland a go-to destination for food lovers. Over the past few years, we have developed a really strong reputation not just for the quality of our restaurants, but for their diversity. They offer a vast range of cuisines in every style, from street food to fine dining and with dishes to suit all budgets. With Restaurant Week offering even greater discounts, it’s a fantastic opportunity to either revisit or to try somewhere new.
All the participating restaurants, cafés, pubs and bars offer £10, £15 or £20 deals, with information – and the vouchers – available at www.sunderlandbid.co.uk/restaurant-week
