You could never imagine that this fine, beautifully furnished pub was
restored from a burned out shell. On the A692 as it climbs out of Gateshead into
the countryside at the village of Sunniside, this is a local and much more.
Winner of Britain in Bloom for “best commercial premises” in Gateshead 1997,
1998 and 1999, The Potter’s Wheel with its a large beer garden it is a
horticulturalist’s paradise.
Inside, the main room is divided into several
distinctive areas, and even at “quiet times” it’s busy. One big reason for
its perennial popularity is the well-cooked, well presented selection of food at
astounding value. Another reason is the constantly changing range of guest
beers. Liz who manages this mecca in inspired style knows how to look after her
ales, her pub and her guests, as people from well beyond the area regularly
confirm.
