The Sunderland economy has seen a boom through a well-received food and drink event through the course of last week, pumping money into local businesses across Wearside.
Sunderland Restaurant Week returned on March 12. In its eight day run around £196,000 was generated through purchases made by hungry foodies who were eager to sample some of the best dishes across the city on the cheap.
Generous discounts were applied to some 50 restaurants who signed up to the scheme. It was organised by Sunderland BID in collaboration with Station Taxis, with some venues offering mouth-watering dishes from just £5.
