About The Rattler

If you're in South Shields with kids in tow and want something more substantial than a quick bite, this grill spot handles the practical side well. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for, and the indoor soft play means restless children have somewhere to go between courses. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward, and there's outdoor seating when the weather allows. Vegan and gluten-free options cover most of the table, though it's a lively room rather than a quiet one — and worth booking ahead.
