"Sunderland has such an exciting and fast-moving food and drink scene and that is reflected in the number and variety of restaurants taking part." Ms Redecke said: "You could literally eat somewhere different every day and night of Restaurant Week and still not try everywhere. "It’s a fantastic time to visit that place that’s been on your radar but you’ve never got round to – Sunderland Restaurant Week offers the perfect excuse." David Turton, marketing manager at Nexus, said: "We are proud to support Sunderland Restaurant Week once again. Sunderland Restaurant Week is organised by Sunderland’s BIDs and includes venues across both the City Centre BID and Seafront BID areas.
