The restaurant, which offers a Mediterranean and Italian menu, will also be providing free mocktails for everyone getting the jab when the bus sets up in Caesar's Den car park on Tuesday.
Valius Sobolev, who runs the restaurant with business partner Pawel Zawadski, moved to South Shields from his native Lithuania seven years ago, and is keen to help the vaccine effort in his adopted home town.
Valius said: "South Shields is our home now, so we are glad to support the vaccine effort and help everyone protect themselves from Covid-19. With a free mocktail and the chance to win a family meal too, your visit to get the jab could be a lucky trip out."

Hide AdMatt Brown, executive director of operations at NHS South Tyneside Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "It's never been easier to get yourself protected – and now there's a bit of fun attached as well! So many people and organisations have done their bit during the pandemic and it's great to have another local business helping out.”
He added: "The prize draw is a little bit extra, but it's still a serious message: if you're hoping to get back to doing the things you enjoy, the vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and the people you care about."
