The County

About The County

The County, long known locally as the County Hotel, is a large pub on Sunderland Road in South Shields and part of the Sizzling Pubs group. The menu is built around sizzling skillets, mixed grills and pub classics at keen prices, with weekday deals running through the week and a full bar alongside. Sky Sports on the screens makes it a regular for matchdays, and the pub markets itself as family-friendly, with a position between the town centre and Westoe that suits both passing trade and locals.

For groups, the pub makes its function area available to local clubs, teams and community organisations, which puts a room and a bar within reach of a modest budget for a birthday, a fundraiser or a work festive meal. Food is ordered from the standard menu rather than a separate function list, so it is a straightforward option rather than a formal banqueting one. December fills quickly, so book the space and the table well ahead.
