From an accessibility perspective, this place has disabled bays and parking and child bays as one. I understand parents may need extra space to get car seats out of the car, however that is more manageable than not being to walk far. The hey should be separate bays and locations not combined. I’ve never seen this before here and disagree with the concept.

It has some great outlets but at the moment it’s not scoring high. Greggs is opening an outlet shortly so it might attract more customers. We use it to meet up and see people. Great nursery at the Broom play cafe

This place used to be excellent, what happened! Very little retail shopping! Games and gadgets are plenty, as are coffee shops but it dull and boring. Highlight was Clarkes outlet still in place, but for how long? Very disappointed.

I work close to the retail park so often go at lunchtime. It needs a wider variety of shops but foot fall isn’t great so can understand why retailers are reluctant to open there. However there is a Greggs there now alongside a Costa & Subway, so plenty of choice for lunch. Generally it looks like it needs a makeover from top to bottom.

Visited for the first time in years very disappointing very few shops open most closed place was empty. Needs a full refurb very depressing won't be in a rush to return here

It's a retail park thats gone downhill over the last few years since the M&S outlet left. It has recently changed owners and it looks as if they are trying to turn things around having opened a Greggs recently and the local costa has been refurbished. Still looking a bit empty and down at heel but hopefully turning things around.

Poor selection of shops. It needs a flagship shop to bring people in. An opportunity missed by not having events ect on during school holidays. Not very impressed and a very strange aroma filled the air.

Security on the door. Excellent access for wheelchairs, prams, mobility aids. Easy walk through layout. Seating areas. Clean. Public toilet located in the library without the centre. Often community type pop ups or seasonal pop ups in centre near Barclays bank.

Can I start by saying I don't visit north shields centre very often but I think North Tyneside planning department should give themselves a pat on the back as it looks like they have succeeded in ripping the heart out of the main shopping street of shields. Once a busy shopping area and a place to meet friends now resembles a sparse wasteland occupied by groups of kids looking for trouble or druggies. The council are trying to attract a more upmarket kind of dweller to the area which is a mistake. North Shields is and always has been a working class town. The town would be best served by closing down some of the charity shops and pizza shops and try attracting more retail businesses.

Limited number of shops, suited more for the pocket wise shoppers. A few charity stores and not forgetting the Poundstore, which no longer sells much for a pound. The is a charity store which can be useful if looking for bric n brac. This is a sign of the times.

I was told if you haven't anything nice to say then don't say anything. Nuff said!

It's a dump ! Nothing there apart from getting into wilko l rate this place 2/5 not worth going back there northshileds is run down ghost town needs a good clean out a run down dump l recommended u don't go there ! Needs better shops in there a run down dirty dump seen better places mutch cleaner needs a good upgrade right this moment its a dump that's a 100 per cent fact a dump update still a dirty dump.closed all shops down filthy

Two hours free parking and just a five minute walk to the shopping centre. Nice little mall with a few shops inside, looks like they are re-developing the Town Centre. It will enhance the town once finished. It was quite a peasant stroll around the town and the people are so friendly and helpful.

Very spacious! No food shopping mall in the centre but lots of shops outside. It's in the middle of shopping location, makes it a very good place to start. Inside the Mall its very clean, has a lovely tea room, chemist, clothes shop, Wilkos (Ithink there's a barbers but not sure, charity shop, pound shop, library and bakery. Pretty good from what I've seen but I don't go there very often.

Fabulous market at Tynemouth Metro station on Saturdays from 9am. Lots of stalls from news craft goods to second hand and antiques. After the market have a walk around Tynemouth I would also recommend a walk up the coast to Whitley Bay, bit of a long walk but worth it

Lovely little market. Plenty of art, photography, keepsakes and great food options, but my favourite part was The Sidings, a little row of shops I'd not seen before. Beautiful flowers by Jules, sustainable household goods at Buy the Kilo and old-school sweet shop Sweet Reminisce. There's also Tynemouth Barbers (not that I need that nowadays!) and Love Shy Tattoo shop, which I'm not brave enough to visit, but their work is fantastic. Last but by no means least House of Frame. Bespoke picture framing with a fantastic selection of frames, a friendly face and a well stocked Gallery from original and limited edition local artists (Prefab, Mul & Lucie in the Sky) to little pick-me-up funky A4 framed prints and everything in-between. Can't recommend a visit enough!!!

Beautiful building. Hordes of people. Good ambience. Not a lot of variety. The French crepes were delicious

Lovely Sunday morning trip. About an hour to get around. Good amount of variety. Plenty of food places

Love the tynemouth market its so fun and quirky

The variety and quality of products and happy atmosphere make this well worth a visit.

Great market. Lots of choice. My favourite stall is the lady selling Greek food. Olive oils, tahinis etc. Some authentic art work in a wide range of mediums, at fair prices. Some good food kiosks/vans too, with a reasonable amount of choice for veggie and vegan diets. Probably could do with a few more seats though, as its no fun eating food walking around!

Visited the customs house with my children for a performance of "Taylormania". The venue was great, plenty of staff on hand directing people to seats. The seating was comfortable and facilities couldn't be faulted, the bar did get busy but queue moved quickly thanks to the staff.

Absolutely love the Customs House it has everything for Every age theatre, musicals, great evenings out!!! Great restaurant breakfast is amazing you just can’t fault it!! !parking is absolutely great. Best parking in South Shields actually get yourselves to the Customs House in South Shields and enjoy it because me my friends family all enjoy the custom house five star. 👏🏼👏🏼 ❤️

Lovely place to visit with some cracking shows. Negatives are that the reception and cafe gets ridiculously busy whilst waiting for the shows to start. There's actually a quieter place upstairs to sit and relax but no information to let people know this.

Fantastic theatre.. went to see, thank abba for the music.. they were brilliant from start to finish.. a must see show.. the staff at the theatre were all lovely, a big thanks to the security team who ejected 4 drunken women, they didn't get the chance to spoil the show for everyone else.. well done lads.. swift action as well..

Great place to be. Love lunch me and the wife will definitely be back. The staff members Maisey and Sky are absolutely fantastic they totally go above and beyond. Thanks girls and thanks the customs house chefs 10-10

Staff are great. Venue is comfortable with plenty of parking. Went last night to see Roy Orbison and Travelling Wilburys after seeing them last year. Have to say this year's show was a big disappointment. Out of a two hour show over 30 minutes was spent on talkng about raffle tickets, who was married to Roy Orbison, merchandise sales, then having the raffle and telling us how far each band member had travelled to the show. The whole show had a very amateurish feel about it and the music not as tight as last year. At £31.50 a ticket I expected better. Will not go next year.

What a magnificent place we went to a surprise 70th birthday party. This venue was a perfect choice for the event. There should be many more of these venues around the country as this one is a huge asset to the area.

Wonderful park for kiddies to play or just to walk around the lake. Cafe and toilet facilities. Lots of safe clean play equipment. Free on street parking nearby.

Small Victorian park with boating lake. Right on the coast near beaches and leisure facilities. Excellent children’s playgrounds and a cafe serving a good selection of food and drinks.

Lovely park. Kids play area, lake, ducks, coffee shop. I didn't have a picture so here a picture of North Marine Park.

Lovely park in South Shields. Plenty to do for families included play areas, boating lake and a little steam train ride.

Great, fun-filled place for a day out There is a lake with lots of ducks, also swan boats to ride around in, Minchella's ice cream place directly next to it with delicious food, a playground less than a minute away for the kids to play on and a train that often circles the park which is a great time for young ones. The park is also filled with lots of trees and plants, is wheelchair accessible with very few steps and is directly next to the fair and arcade, overall a great place to go on a day out with the family

Brilliant place to take the kids so many interesting facts dotted around displayed in a fun way and artifacts for them to learn about! Plenty of interactive displays we especially loved trying to build a roman bridge it got the whole group involved! The house is fantastic to explore my son really took everything in! We loved storytime and finding out about the foods the Romans would of ate! Definatley recommend by us we loved it!

Park was amazing best place to get your kids to spend quality time. It was huge with plenty of options to do from playing on swings to ride a toy train. They have an amazing cafe as well for quick bites. Truly recommend.

Great park on the beach lovely little train lots to do.

Whilst the North & South Marine parks complement each other by providing a different experience, this is my favourite of the two. It is bigger than the South Park but it's outstanding feature is the magnificent views from the hill at the North end which has lots of seating on the benches provided. Whilst it doesn't have the tourist facilities of the South Park, it does have several children's play areas and several bowling greens. Also a community garden and meeting point.

Lovely park, checkout the recent names of the local soldiers put on the walkway.

Beautiful park and usually very clean. Good for tranquil walks and very nice views of sea. Play area for the kids and plenty of benches.

Very peaceful and a lovely sea view as you walk up, seats are situated along the winding pathway so no problems here for push chairs and wheel chairs as you walk to the top. Great views of the North and South Pier's.

Although it lacks the amenities of the South Marine Park, it has been recently renovated to include a comprehensive children's play area and has stunning views of the Harbour from the hilltop.Plus lots of flowers providing colour during spring through to autumn.

The new steps and walkway are a nice improvement. It will be interesting to see the finished refurbishment in 2021. Its about time that the North Marine Park was shown some TLC.

Brilliant night out! We brought our visitors to Davantis, good choice as it turned out to be the perfect end to their trip 'up north' thanks to Grace who took orders and served the food. How she kept track of everything is beyond me. There was such a good menu we kept changing options. Grace was amazing, nothing was too much bother and the banter was so funny. The food was excellent to. When 'picky' southerners say its the best Italian they've had it speaks volumes. Fab atmosphere, couldn't fault a thing. Will definitely be back. Thanks again to all the staff for giving us a really brilliant night out.

Absolutely wonderful place to eat the food was amazing and the staff were fantastic 100% would come back again

Went on a Groupon deal. Parking is an issue unless you strike lucky with one in the reserved area. Staters were really good. The garlic bread is a pizza base type and is probably too big for one person as a starter. Potato skins were really good. My risotto didn't have much chicken in it and was a bit too tomatoey sauce wise. Service was good Would go back no problem

Lovely food, will definitely be back! Bruchetta, tagliatelle and lemon cheesecake.

Had Rapid lunch time menu £11.95 on their website. Two drinks circa £12. The actual price of the meal was £13.95 and an additional non advertised 10% surcharge plus the cost of a coke which we did not order. The result was that an expected bill of circa £36 had become £47 which I discovered later re my bank balance. Defo will not be going again. Take care out there!

7 of us booked for late lunch 2.30pm. The place was fairly quiet with just a couple of tables occupied. The food here is excellent but the service is dreadful. A couple of disinterested and disengaged waitresses on duty. They had to be reminded to bring menus and cutlery to the table. After 30 minutes we had to find someone to take our order. The waitress who served us with our food was miserable and very off hand. When asked about the desserts she muttered something unintelligible. We were told they would bring the bill and card machine. We got fed up waiting and eventually went inside to pay. This place could be so much better if the staff were pleasant, welcoming and occasionally smiled. They appeared to be bored and treated us like an unwelcome distraction. We won't return.

Great night out in the Murano room. Great food and very attentive team serving us for our end of season coaches night out.

Just arrived at 22.30 after a long drive, to be greeted by the lovely Susan & Jade. All smiles and warm greetings, making me feel very welcome. When i asked if the biscuits in the charity stsnd were a cash only donation, realising i didnt have any cash on me, Jade very kindly offered to treat me. If only there was a 6th star to give these ladies, who've absolutely made my evening.

I arrived early and they were very kind and the amazing lady behind the counter Vikky was an absolute hero. She looked after my daughter, as if she was her own. I couldn’t ask for better service that woman deserves a raise. Because of her, I would want to give this place six stars. The rest of the staff were brilliant too.

Staying hear before and after cruise that is leaving from Newcastle Port Authority. Room was clean but had an odd smell in it that smelled like pickles to me. Free wifi. Breakfast and meals available at the restaurant next door. Felt safe. Lots of parking during our stay.

Last minute on the day booking due to changed plans. The booking process was quick and easy. Met by a very friendly gentleman on reception who got us checked I. and helpfully pointed out the local amenities (including the Brewers Fayre next door). The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the usual premier inn items you expect. But no air conditioning which would have helped in the June heat and humidity. Location is close to the busy working docks that continue to operate through the night (with some associated noise as expected). Overall a good experience and I would visit again if at Tyneside

We checked in for 1 night on Thursday 22nd May at around 5pm and were greeted by 2 super friendly women on reception (one was called Susan, unfortunately I can’t remember the other name) who went out their way to help make our stay great. The hotel itself was pretty quiet, basic but clean and comfortable and good value for the £44 we paid.

Had a lovely 2 days stay with my children who of whom is disabled, staff couldn't do enough for us, even bringing the kids some sweets one night, letting us take books and toys from reception. Would definitely recommend and will be booking another stay with you soon!

Staff were kind and friendly which made the difference! The rooms were outdated and smelt so strongly of perfume on arrival that I almost was sick. Other than this the stay was ok, there was lacking coffee etc and for the price you pay I did expect a lot more.

absolutely shocking and ridiculous service food turned up late and freezing cold and when i rang the shop to tell them they delivered my food stone cold all she cared about was that i didn’t ring her straight away and was so rude over the phone absolutely disgusting behaviour will never be ordering again gave me a pinch of chips too disgraceful

Have ordered from here multiple times before and never had an issue. However tonight placed order just before 6 and was given delivery time of 6:20-6:40. At 6:45, called and asked if order had left yet (was marked as out for delivery on app) was told they were waiting for a driver. We still hadn’t received food by 7 (an hour after we had ordered and 20 minutes after our latest delivery time) so we called again at 7:10. We were first told that food was still at the shop, which shocked us given we had ordered over an hour before. When we said we’d ordered over an hour ago and weren’t sure why food hadn’t left yet, we were told food had just left. Food eventually arrived at 7:15 but was nowhere near nice enough to have waited over an hour for.

Really nice donner kebab wrap was a fiver best pizza shop in shields hasnt declined like most of them

Usually pretty decent but definitely stale dough and salty today. 5 stars on service for delivery driver.

They don't take card but pizza is really cheap and tastes good Yee whove give it 1 star need to Ave a word wi yersel

Very reasonably priced, order at 5:20 and came within 20 mins!!! Always hot and tastes lovely as well!

Cooks fast taste best. Best pizza ever👌👌

Lucky enough to come here when visiting a friend who lives locally. Service was fantastic, especially handling allergy sensitivities. All dishes delicious and almost too big! Sadly no room left for dessert but friend's cheesecake looked amazing. Added to by an incredible view up. Highly recommended.

Wow! What an amazing experience: exceptional service from Holly and the team, and wonderful food, impeccably presented and served by the chef. This place is an absolute gem. We had a reservation for more than 20 people and every one was amazed with the quality of the food, the attention to detail and the timely service of the food. I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

This place is a gem! We have gone a few times and are very happy with the food and service every time! The price is also good for the quality and type of menu! The location is great with a lovely view. Perfect for a special occasion or just a genuinely lovely meal out!

Fantastic restaurant with a great value monthly menu. Been twice in the last two months and will be going again without hesitation. Staff great. Highly recommended.

I booked a table at 31 The Quay for my husband's birthday having seen a random menu post on Facebook. I was a little apprehensive as I am the pickiest eater but I thought I'd try something new and i'm glad we did! The food was impeccable, even the focaccia "nibbles" were super soft and fluffy. My husband and I were very impressed. 100% recommend, we will definitely be back.

Sunday Lunch The roast potatoes seemed to have a shell as hard as a conker , I checked the knife and yes, to my surprise it was serrated although still required more of a hacking movement to pierce the outer shell, the broccoli was rather limp to say the least. As for the mashed potato it lacked body, looked and tasted as if it had been left in a whipping machine overnight , I’ve had thicker soup, unlike the turnip which as least had fibre. The Yorkshire pudding was light and crispy, unfortunately letdown by a gravy that was thin and bland. I felt the roast beef was a little undercooked for me and tasted more of a jelly than textured , but that’s more of a personal preference. The cauliflower cheese was average as the cabbage. This was followed by a sticky pudding with ice cream and a butterscotch sauce, ( butterscotch being a favourite of mine, it didn’t much taste like butterscotch ,the main reason I ordered it) The service was a little slow although it did add to a more relaxed atmosphere especially if one isn’t in a hurry. None of the staff ever presented a smile. The place itself has a vibrant feel and quite light and airy appeal. The place is spotlessly clean and the open kitchen ads to the experience. Overall the place and the presentation can best be described as ,nice, although for over £90 for two of us I wouldn’t go again, for the rest of the day I felt robbed.

The table was booked by our friends and to be honest I wasn't expecting the bottomless brunch to be worth the money. I've got to admit I was wrong. I didn't even expect to have many drinks but I was also wrong about that. It was a Tapas style menu which was served one dish at a time over the course of our visit. I enjoyed every course, some really tasty well presented food. We had to take some of it home as couldn't finish it all. We intend to go again.
