About Queen's Cafe
Queen's Cafe is a fish and chip cafe and takeaway on Dykelands Road at Seaburn, a few minutes' walk from the promenade and the beach. You can eat in at the tables or take your food away, and it is a popular choice for families and walkers after a day on the seafront.
The Sunderland Echo featured it in March 2026 in a round-up of the city's best-reviewed chip shops, noting that it has won awards for its fish lots, had an average of 4.7 from more than 200 Google reviews, and allows dogs inside. Earlier Echo coverage named it Sunderland's chip shop of the year and mentioned gluten-free options. It holds a food hygiene rating of 5 from an inspection in December 2025. Opening times vary through the year, so check before travelling.
