We’ve headed up to Sunderland — a city packed with history, character, and (apparently) a seriously underrated food scene 👀
Our first stop? Sheepfolds, a buzzing food hub full of independent spots… and home to something very special:
👉 Proper pies, created with influence from Si King (from the legendary The Hairy Bikers)
These aren’t your average pies… everything is:
• Freshly made on-site
• Packed with locally sourced ingredients
• Served with mash and gravy for the full experience
We tried:
• Classic mince & dumplings 🥧
• Butter chicken pie 🍛
• Venison & blue cheese 🦌
This is the kind of food that just fits a cold, windy northern day. No gimmicks. No fuss. Just honest, seriously good cooking.
If you know anywhere else in the North East doing incredible pies, drop it in the comments 👇

1st Mistake – Newcastle is the beating heart of the North East. Sunderland is a hovel
Used to be a great pie shop on southwick green call maws pies , sadly closed years ago
Big love to Dan! Us Dan’s do have a habit of hurting ourselves. Big love to Si King and his Proper Pies too, always loved the Hairy Bikers
An arborous journey sounds interesting
The best pie in the north east is Newcastle pie & mash shop, just beside the westerhope shop 🤤 value for money is great as well
I was the girl at farra bus stop
Beating heart of the North East? Erm…
Hey @FoodReviewClubUK did you delete your apology video I can't seem to find it?
Food from proppa is banging but pricey but not as tasty as the wifes. Gotta say that tho.
Try mumbai silk indian r'rant on the edge of city ctr. Its fab.
That weather is tropical up here.
