Historic pub serving up something new
Sunderland Echo
|October 04, 2025
“It’s great to be collaborating with another local business to boost the offering here,” says Steve Lawson, publican at one of Sunderland's most-historic pubs.
-
In the shadow of Queen Alexandra Bridge, The Times Inn has a long history in Southwick dating back to 1854.
Steve has been at the helm of the pub for the past few years and has done much to stamp it on the map, including commissioning eye-catching murals which celebrate local history and people.
Now, the pub has added to its offering with the introduction of food, thanks to a collaboration with The Kitchen, which had built up a firm following at its previous premises in Town End Farm.
