Sharon Appleby, head of business operations at Sunderland BID, said: “We are very lucky to have such a vibrant restaurant scene in Sunderland which is constantly growing and Restaurant Week is a great excuse to make the most of it.

“And we are also absolutely delighted that Station Taxis is back on board as our main sponsor and that, for those who want to drive, the city car parks will be free after 5pm throughout the week.”

She added: “With restaurants all over the city taking part, it’s a great chance to plan an event around a meal and go for a drink with work colleagues, see a film with friends or head to the park with family.

“Restaurant Week is always popular and it’s a great time in the city, for both diners and businesses alike.”
