Nestled at 9 High St W, Sunderland SR1 3HA, The Engine Room offers more than just meals-it presents a vibrant and well-curated menu that mirrors the venue’s artistic spirit and historical charm. Located in the former Sunderland Fire Station, the restaurant breathes industrial elegance, and its menu is just as thoughtfully engineered.

The Engine Room Menu showcases an impressive balance between comfort food and creative flair. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty brunch or a refined dinner, the offerings are diverse and inclusive. Standouts include classic British favorites like beer-battered fish and chips, alongside inventive twists like chorizo mac & cheese or sweet potato and chickpea curry, catering to both meat-lovers and vegetarians. Portion sizes are generous without compromising presentation or flavor quality.

For starters, dishes like their crispy calamari or loaded nachos deliver bold flavors and satisfying textures. The mains section is equally compelling, featuring locally sourced ingredients and seasonal variations. Their Sunday Roast is a crowd favorite-perfectly cooked meats, Yorkshire puddings, and rich gravy that earn repeat visits. Dessert options such as sticky toffee pudding and chocolate fondant round out the experience with comforting sweetness.

One of the menu’s greatest strengths is its adaptability. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options are clearly marked, making it easy for all diners to find something enjoyable. Drink selections, including locally brewed craft beers and signature cocktails, pair beautifully with the food.

Compared to other venues in the area, The Engine Room stands out not just for its location but for a menu that fuses tradition with innovation.
