It is set to become a firm favourite and go-to place for North East food lovers as well as those visiting the region.
The new venture offers a broad menu that positively reflects and promotes the food culture of the region. And, given PROPA!’s location is only a few minutes’ walk away from Sunderland AFC’s Stadium of Light, the restaurant will also deliver on the strong footballing culture and tradition of ‘having a pie and pint before the match’.
Si explained: “I’m absolutely thrilled to launch PROPA! It’s a great way to take our customers back to the tastes and smells that they grew up with and that is part of our North East identity. A food culture to be celebrated and embraced.”
“We’re using only the very best of ingredients that the region has to offer, all sourced from producers that the team knows and this ethos underpins everything that we want to achieve with the food that we produce. We can’t wait to welcome you all.”
PROPA! is the latest venture to open at Sheepfolds Stables, an impressive £4m regeneration and restoration project that has transformed former railway stables buildings dating back to 1884 into a highly desirable and popular destination for independent food and drink operators. It is located to the left of the main courtyard area and open 7 days a week from 10am -10pm, Monday to Wednesday, 10am – 10:30pm, Thursday and 9am – late Saturday and Sunday.
According to recent research*, Sunderland’s food and drink sector is becoming one of the city’s fast-growing industries and a major contributor to the local economy. The café, bar and restaurant scene now accounts for 33% of all retail sales – the biggest contribution to the city’s economy. PROPA! will therefore add to this and become an alternative, high quality yet affordable choice for customers.
