Tommy Banks supports Sunderland Restaurant Week

Diners in the north-east will have the opportunity to try the food of one of the UK’s most acclaimed chefs at a special event as part of Sunderland Restaurant Week.

The popular event, set to return to the city from 6 to 14 September, will give visitors the chance to enjoy a special experience created by Tommy Banks.

Banks on the Wear

The chef, whose restaurants The Black Swan in Oldstead and Roots in York both hold a Michelin star, is collaborating with SAFC and bringing Banks on the Wear, a new prestigious dining experience, to the club.

Also launching within the Stadium of Light, 76 Yards, a street food-style premium experience, will feature Banks’ own speciality range of pies.

The one-off event will run on 6 September between noon and 3pm. Diners will get a welcome drink, a one-course street-food style meal and an exclusive Tommy Banks recipe print at a special offer price of £25.

Roberta Redecke, marketing and events manager at Sunderland’s BIDs, says: “It’s an incredible coup for us to work with SAFC and benefit from their collaboration with a chef of the calibre of Tommy Banks.

“To launch Sunderland Restaurant Week with this amazing opportunity is very exciting and we imagine it will be a sellout.”
