Six at Pier Point — Restaurant in Sunderland

In my book average, expected, normal or whatever you call mediocrity is three stars, not as in most reviews five. I rarely give five.

We were quite shocked as not once we were told about this, while we were ordering the drinks, the appetisers and even when we asked for the menu! Long story short, we ended up missing ordering our mains by 10 mins due to sheer indifference from staff. They also forgot to deduct the advance payment for reservation from our bill and there was a bit of back n forth to get that sorted. Definitely won’t be...
