The last restaurant week took place in the city in September 2023, and bosses calculated that the seven-day extravaganza boosted the local economy by £500,000.

Sharon Appleby, Chief Executive of Sunderland BID, said last September that Restaurant Week continues to be a hugely popular event in the city.

"We were delighted back in March with how successful Sunderland Restaurant Week was but to see that this time round we’ve once again grown the effect on the local economy is phenomenal," she said.

"It has had such an impact on the dining scene in the city and gives people the opportunity to return to a favourite restaurant or to visit somewhere new for the first time."
