Some of the best grills and British favourites can be found in the Quality Hotel Boldon over off of Whitney Way, where you’ll find The Grill, a restaurant that’s proving to be one of the area’s very best locations for a sophisticated dinner or a big juicy steak. With a location midway between Newcastle and Sunderland, The Grill is in the ideal spot for travellers passing through to grab something a little more sophisticated than the usual on-the-road grub. Featuring a luxurious bar and sleek furnishings, The Grill in The Boldons is perfect for after-work drinks or a nightcap just before heading off to bed, and they’re even known to shake up some unbelievable cocktails using top-shelf liquors and fresh herbs and fruit juices. The restaurant is revered for its grilled dishes, so do make sure to sample the skirt steak with chips and onion rings, the chicken supreme or their signature Grill Burger served with triple-cooked chips, smoked cheese and onion confit.
