Ken said that Eat Drink Sunderland<br />
Restaurant Week provides the perfect<br />
platform for Sunderland’s cafés and<br />
restaurants to raise the profile of their<br />
business and “attract a greater volume of<br />
customers during the week.”<br />
“We hope the initiative will encourage people<br />
to come into the city and discover the sheer<br />
volume of choices now open to them.”<br />
Many cafés, bars and restaurants in<br />
Sunderland are independently owned, which<br />
means visitors can dine safe in the<br />
knowledge they will not find the food they<br />
are enjoying anywhere else.<br />
And the hope is that once people really have<br />
got a taste for Sunderland’s exciting food<br />
offering, they’ll be encouraged to come back<br />
again and again.<br />

Rebecca Ball, Sunderland 2021 director, who is<br />
heading up the city’s bid to become a City of<br />
Culture in 2021, believes the week not only<br />
provides a chance to try new types of food, but<br />
also to celebrate one of the things that makes<br />
Sunderland stand out – its independent scene.<br />
She said: “Thinking big and learning from<br />
other cities is something we do really well in<br />
Sunderland, and this is a really good example<br />
of how we can take a proven concept that<br />
started across the pond, and make it work<br />
for us, just as we have with fantastic cultural<br />
programmes like the Sunderland Shorts<br />
Film Festival.”<br />
“Sunderland moves to its own beat. It’s<br />
different, it’s interesting and it’s not afraid to be<br />
itself. The food and drink scene really does<br />
reflect the do-it-yourself attitude and<br />
diversity we have in Sunderland and it is<br />
fantastic that Restaurant Week will<br />
encourage people to get stuck in, and go on<br />
a culinary journey, without even leaving<br />
their city.”<br />
