Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Sunderland

Great restaurant serving terrific food. Started with monkfish cheeks and followed up with a lamb roast dinner. A very generous portion and along with roasts and vegetables all cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. Good choice of wines but all expensive. £30 for what was a basic red the cheapest available.

Great venue - a little noisy but to be expected on the last Fri before Christmas Helpful and friendly staff Not rushed at all despite it being so busy Will definitely visit again

First time visiting. Quite quiet given we went at a weekday lunchtime. Firstly, the staff were very friendly and attentive. I couldn’t fault them. Secondly the food. Delicious. My wife and I had different meals. She thoroughly enjoyed hers and I thoroughly enjoyed mine. We will visit again.

We recently attended Ember for a birthday celebration with a table of six, and I can honestly say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Every single person in our group commented that the food was some of the best they’ve ever had—each dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and truly memorable. The staff were absolutely amazing—so hospitable and friendly, they went above and beyond to make the evening special for us. Their warm and attentive service turned a great meal into a wonderful experience. If you’re considering dining here, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a nice evening out, Ember is a place you’ll want to visit again and again.

Great service and food is always of a high standard.
