Factory Outlets
Located in a rural setting, the Royal Quays Outlet and Independent Centre offers discounted fashion and lifestyle stores. While there are numerous outlet shops, it is evident that many new businesses are also emerging. Some local establishments have opened their doors, selling items such as furniture, food and beverages. Additionally, visitors can now enjoy a brewery and tasting room along with ample free parking. For travelers with specific dietary requirements or those interested in health foods, a vegan shop is available.
I regularly make a trip over just to visit the First come first served shop and see what they have in x the owner is lovely and always has a chat. The range of products available are fantastic and the prices take some beating x
I was pleased when they reopened local to me as previously i travelled to their other location x
I highly recommend the shop for anyone who hasn’t already been x
I visit other stores whilst there such as Next and Poundland.

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.
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.
I visited Quays outlet today it is great place for family visit,I have great shopping ,great value and quality 😍
THERE'S NOT MUCH TO IT?!
You'd think being an outlet store there would be a lot of shops selling you stuff. I thought that, and when I looked at the place from the outside, I assumed it would be just like another Cheshire Oaks.
But it's far from that.
I think I counted three rows of shops, most of which you'd probably never go into anyway.
A couple of coffee shops, Poundland and a Garden Centre ... and that's it?!
It's definitely seen better days and could probably do with a refurb and some fresh new shops opening up on site.
I'd say if you want to waste about an hours worth of time, it's worth a look. I was done in 20 minutes.

The Beacon Centre is a convenient shopping destination located in North Shields. It features a variety of shops and amenities, including nearby dining options and local pubs. The center is wheelchair accessible and offers close parking.

Visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the center and the presence of a supermarket on-site.
Lot of empty shops but area was clean and tidy

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.

Farmers' market
Tynemouth Market is a bustling market located in a station building, offering a wide array of goods including art, crafts, books, CDs, clothing, plants and food. Visitors can expect to find unique and quirky items while exploring the stalls. The market is praised for its Victorian splendor and the friendly atmosphere created by the stallholders. While parking may be a challenge, the market's convenient location near the metro station makes it easily accessible for visitors.
Great big market with so many interests stalls. There is also a toastie staff called Mardi Gras No. 58 which I would recommend 👌 Has a few food stalls including plenty cakes and sweets stalls.
Arlene S — Google review
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!

Ollie P — Google review
Visited here today with a friend to watch a play. The staff were so kind, friendly, helpful and professional. So knowledgeable. A small but perfectly formed theatre. Very well run (some larger theatres could learn from them) food and drinks prices were very reasonable. Toilets were clean and well maintained.
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.
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.
Good venue with a wide range of shows n movies on all year round. A little pricey for drinks but good atmosphere n an important part of South Shields nightlife.

Park
Nestled in South Shields, South Marine Park is a delightful Victorian-era gem that offers a perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. This expansive park features lush green spaces ideal for picnics and sports, making it a popular gathering spot for friends and families alike. Children are particularly enchanted by the miniature steam train that chugs through the park, providing endless joy as they wave at its passengers. The park boasts an inviting café where visitors can grab refreshments, including the famous Minchellas ice cream.
One of the best parks of the northeast England. It has everything from green spaces to kids' play area, cafeteria to public toilets, a lake, a brandstand and an unbelievable kids' mini train which goes all around the park.
Truly a clean and well maintained park.

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
The underrated! Great spot for all the family. Pond rides. Mini train rides round the park, safe kids play area, plenty of food options. List goes on
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!

Nature & Parks
North Marine Park is a delightful destination that has recently been revitalized, offering visitors an upgraded fitness area and a brand-new playground for children. A gentle incline leads you to the top of Lawe Top, where breathtaking views of the River Tyne and North Sea await. This park complements its sibling, South Marine Park, which features a serene lake perfect for hiring swan pedalos and enjoying rides on a charming miniature steam train.
It looks like a small park at first, I've seen a squirrel everytime. Great place to walk your dog, with pathways through woodland, a big field with pic nic tables, a children's playground. The park originally built in the 18th century has a bowling green, I think it is 5£ for a family or 2£ a person. The park can lead you to the beach, a lovely beach, no dogs allowed May to September, bring a pop up tent, what a great day, not a penny spent.
Yvonne D — Google review
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.

Davanti Classico is an Italian restaurant located in Tynemouth, offering traditional cuisine in a stylish setting. The menu features a variety of classic Italian dishes such as seafood, pizzas, pastas, risottos, and seasonal specials. Situated within the architecturally stunning Tynemouth Station, it's a convenient spot for visitors to the weekend market or those traveling by train.

We love it here so much. We have had calamari, minestrone soup and pizza. All of them are delicious to us. We have never had minestrone soup before so we cannot compare it to others. However, I love eggplant so it was really delicious. The staff is friendly. The only thing that really surprised me was that the margarita pizza did not contain basil. Thank you very much.
Rana A — Google review
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!

I accidentally stumbled upon 31 The Quay, a hidden gem of a restaurant. The meal I had there was superb and the service was exceptional. I opted for the set menu, which offered delectable dishes using high-quality ingredients. The regular menu also provided excellent options to choose from. Considering the quality of the food, ingredients, and service, the set menu was reasonably priced. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return.
I finally visited 31 the Quay, and it was such a treat! We went on Friday evening and were pleasantly surprised by their November special menu—four courses for just £30! Every dish was fantastic, and I highly recommend the Pithivier for main course! One of our guests has a dairy intolerance, and the kitchen was very helpful in advising which dishes could be modified. The staff were lovely —friendly without being intrusive, and they checked in at just the right times to see if we needed more drinks. The atmosphere was cosy, with bright, clean decor, and it wasn't noisy at all, making it easy to enjoy the conversations within the party.
I would highly recommend especially if you are celebrating a special occasion.

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.

Lovely walk, plenty of trails and a cafe along the way.
You don't need to go up the beacon hill but its worth it.

Great place for easy walk, we spotted various animals and enjoyed the view around the trail. There also several trailing option, you can choose for a short, medium, or long walk. However, some track is quite muddy and need extra effort to pass it.
I've used this park a few times to go for a jog, but a simple jog around the blue or green route is marred by signposting that I never seem to follow very well. I know it doesn't trouble many other people and maybe it's because I'm on the spectrum, but while running I'm not taking my time to remember every turn of a route. I'm glancing up for signs to see if a stretch of path is as long or short as I expected from the map.
The bottom stretch of the green and blue routes have a crossroads, with route arrows on the left pointing in the direction of the continuing path, which it turns out leads you well away from the route. It was only when I went all the way back when I saw the other signpost, all the way across the other side of the path and set back, pointing the correct way. Why are they done this way?
There's also the fork in the path going through the trees up the side of the route where another signpost would have been useful to clarify and remind people. Again, maybe I'm stupid but it would be helpful for anyone with memory and directional problems.
The park is nice and it's got easy and flat routes as options along with the more challenging routes. I just wish the signposting was better.
Nice peaceful walk. Great for dog walkers. There is a bakery, play areas.
Good access and clearly signed paths make for an easy walk with lots of information boards to enlighten and educate. There is ample parking and a cafe and play area. Staff in the cafe were pleasant and the food was good and reasonably priced, but the arrangements are a bit odd. There is a microwave to heat up your own scones ( not sure what else). Seating was limited because staff were mopping the floor (even when it got busy).
The walk was ok, a few trails that are the same. Walked to the farm and there was one sheep. Fed the ducks on the way back which was the only bit the kids enjoyed.
Quite disappointed. We didn’t find the way through the woods very well marked but did like the trees. The Hides themselves are not very nice , the first Hide was grotty and had a lovely decorative shopping trolley, the second one was not very nice to sit down in and watch the birds. Dog poo everywhere, so you have to walk looking down, just in case. Massive pile of Horse poo right outside one of the Bird Hides. The long wagonways might be good for walking dogs but we found them very boring to walk, you mostly can’t see anything in either direction. The only nice view we had was spolit by a Pop bottle which somebody had obviously lobbed over to get it there. Service was very slow at the cafe but their coffee and scones were very good - just watch out in sunny weather for all the Wasps if sitting outside - manic.
First time here last Thursday with my fiancé, we looked it up and decided to go here for a walk and it was absolutely lovely, great walks around the river, pond and plenty animals to see aswell. There's 3 different routes we did the blue route and loved it, we will definitely be back so we can go to the bird hide 🐦 free parking aswell bonus and there's playground for kids and a cafe too, I'd definitely recommend it

History Museums
Nestled at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall, Segedunum Roman Fort & Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Britain's Roman past. Established around AD 125, this site features the remains of a significant fort and the original wall itself, making it an essential stop for history enthusiasts. Visitors can start their journey by ascending the 35-metre viewing tower for panoramic views of both the fort and its surroundings.
Easily reachable by Metro (get off at Wallsend). The museum was under renovation from the outside and part of the upper floor exhibition was under construction when I visited, but the museum kindly only charged half price. You can get the tickets at the counter with no problem and the museum was not crowded at all when I visited during the week, so you have lots of time to see everything. The accessible part of the museum is very beautifully designed and you feel like you've been teleported back to Roman times. Once you have a ticket you can access the ruins of the Segedunum Fort and the end of Hadrian's Wall just across the street. For roughly 3,50 pounds that was definitely worth a visit!
Ahmad S — Google review
Neat museum that's definitely worth a visit if you're interested in Hadrian's Wall. Entry tickets are discounted as of writing this review, I think it was just under £4 (you can buy at the museum). It's easy to get to, only a ~3-minute walk from the Wallsend metro station. I went on a Wednesday afternoon and there was only one other small group that showed up after me so it's quite relaxed. There were an informative gallery about the site and surrounding area's history and a viewing platform for the site, and you can also walk on the site itself. Just across the road, there's a separate section of the site where there's an actual section of the wall alongside a recreation you can go up on. Unfortunately, it seemed like some of the side galleries and the Roman bathhouse recreation were closed during my visit, not sure when those will be re-opened.
Visited on a free English Heritage day and glad we did! So much to see and learn about, very well laid out with a map to guide you. Loads to buy in the gift shop as keepsakes or gifts and friendly staff on hand
In general it’s a nice place to visit. We walked the wall from Bowness on Solway to Segedunum so we were going to stop here anyway. Be advised that this isn’t part of English Heritage, so your pass won’t work here…it’s separate.
Three main themes: the viewing tower with a birds eye view of the fort (plus video reconstruction), access to the remains at ground level then under cover explanations and exhibits explaining what you have seen (plus a gift shop!!). Targeted at youngsters with 'touch it/build it/dress up' features and adult explanations. A family well crafted experience.
A pretty shocking lack of engagement with colonialism in the history exhibits, even where it is explicitly alluded to. The Roman stuff was great though, well presented with lots of cool finds tucked away in the cabinets. Appreciated all the engagement activities too!
The exhibition on the ground floor is amazing and i lost myself in it for far longer than i had planed too. There's aspects of the exhibition that I imagine would be interesting for every age group and the text to object ratio is very good, I felt like it was just enough without being overwhelming. The shop also has a good amount of books relevant to the exhibitions
If your only visiting Roman sites in Newcastle then go, however other locations have much better Roman site remains. The museum was ok, but much more geared up for schools and kids.

Nestled between Tynemouth Village and North Shields Fish Quay, this sheltered Dene offers a serene retreat. The park is easily accessible from King Edward Road and Tynemouth Road.
Absolutely lovely park! Lots of little things to see around the park such as 'fairy' doors and statues. There are toilets free to use in the main building along with a cafe and plenty of outdoor seating. There is also access to clean drinking water for you and your dogs. My children enjoyed the play park too!

It is a beautiful park and so well maintained. Love to see more activities taking place in this park.
There is a corner for everyone.. benches, play area for children, duck pond, bike area, bowling, a cafe and lovely walks with our pooches. There is also a herb garden. Truly lovely
What a lovely park. We’ve driven past so many times but today was the day to explore. It’s beautifully maintained so many lovely plants and trees. Paths going off in all directions loads of benches to sit and relax and a cafe with toilets. What’s more to love?
very lovely apart from the midgies. the cafe is nice they have all the fentimans glass bottled drinks, and there's so many areas to explore and little side paths
This is a lovely and very well maintained park. It has a bandstand and a cafe as well as an old pet cemetery! Don't stick to the main path. Have a wonder up and down the sides.
The bird song is amazing. This is a very quiet park. There is a good playground for the kids and a cycle track. Ignore the opening times on Google Maps. It's open every day til 7pm as far as I know
Lovely little park, ideal for taking the dog for a walk, also with a nice playground for kids. There is also a cafe with outside seating area and toilets.There is a small pond in the centre of the park and a bandstand. Plenty of seats and the park looks nice when all the flowers are in bloom.
Lovely little park, feels secluded despite busy location.
Pet cemetery is slightly bizarre.
Free water bottle fill-up location.
Beautiful little park! Café bright, clean and reasonably priced. Indoor & outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Dog friendly - water bowls outside filled with fresh water.
Lots of interesting facts scattered around the place from medieval leper hospital to trees planted from chestnuts brought back from France after WWI.
There's an old pet cemetery with headstones to commemorate long gone beloved pets. One brought a tear to my eye especially - in memory of a dog rescued from the beaches in Normandy in 1944 & who lived a long life in North Shields. Wonder if anyone knows the full story?
Well worth a visit!

Arbeia, South Shields Roman Fort is a historical site featuring the remains of a large Roman fort. Visitors can explore reconstructed gatehouses and living quarters, as well as a small museum on the premises. The fort offers an immersive experience into the ancient Roman era and provides insights into their military presence in the area. It's a great destination for history enthusiasts and those interested in archaeological sites.
What an interesting place! Free to enter. Museum exhibits to see and fully reconstructed life size Roman buildings to explore. I enjoyed being able to read all of the information around the site about the history. I love that the community is so proud of its history and cared enough to preserve an archaeological site of such importance for the public to see. The lovely ladies working there were very helpful and friendly.
Jessica P — Google review
Even way up in the north of England the Romans occupied the South Shields area. Building a fort to house soldiers and create a supply chain to try and defeat the Scots. But no dice there... This is a wonderful place for families to enjoy. There's a small museum and then signs for a self guided tour are very informative. Great for locals and tourists.
It’s truly fascinating to step back into the Stone Age, preserved for over 10,000 years. The Arbeia Roman Fort is absolutely worth visiting and the best part is, entry is free! The centre provides maps and signs that bring the stories to life. One big question remains, though: how did people manage to build such incredibly thick stone walls?
A little tricky to find but worth the effort. This is something of a gem surrounded by a school and housing - the story of the community is well told and it's worth taking time to explore the replica barracks and west tower.
A venue that should be much better known, established to protect the mouth of the Tyne and, although not part of Hadrian's Wall, very much associated with that era. If you're in the vicinity, do visit! Oh, and it's free too!
Little Roman gem found in South Shields. Two reconstructed buildings are very well done. Large area, smallish museum and shop. Be sure to donate something as its all free
Free entry, free street parking and friendly staff. Educational and interesting displays. Can easily spend a few hours wondering around... 😊
Amazing site to visit, please definitely stop by! The site is free to enter but donations are welcome.
Before we entered, I actually told my partner that it could be a short stop because “how interesting can stone ruins be” AND BOY I WAS WRONG.
The site has components that were reproduced using common building techniques at the time and were pieced together based on what was found while excavating the ruins. Additionally, they had descriptive information and insights about life in Arbeia.
We even visited another Roman Fort site because Arbeia pleased us a lot, but it was not the same and I was disappointed 🥲
By far the best Roman site I've seen in Britain. As a museum, I prefer this to anything there is along the more famous Hadrian's Wall out in Northumberland. As well as the ruins, you have a small interesting museum with great artefacts. What made it for me is the reconstruction. You can climb to the top of the Gatehouse and go into a reconstructed villa, a little like Pompeii (which I recently visited). The site needs better signage though as one of the best bits, seen on my photos, is behind the barracks and easy to miss. This is a very much overlooked gem.

Lovely place with good views across the water.went here with the wife for a pre Valentine's meal. Food was lovely, fresh and well presented. Scallop starter was gorgeous. I had salmon and the wife had smoked haddock, both were delicious. Added bonus of a deal being on giving us the 2 mains for £7.50 each, which we were bot aware off, and thought we had been under charged. Staff were friendly and attentive. Was a lovely night.
Well what can i say, the food is excellent, service very good and you can't fault the prices.
Absolutely superb.
From the moment we walked in it felt right. Very clean and understated class. Wonderful views of the Tyne to match the ambience.
The staff were attentive without being pushy and the food was truly sublime.
Can't recommend this place highly enough and definitely somewhere I will be going to again
Lovely small cozy restaurant which is upstairs.
Small menu, means fresh ingredients.
Good set menu, my fish and chips were very tasty and so well presented.
White linen tablecloths which do make a difference to the whole setting.
The service was excellent over the Easter weekend when we visited.
This place is the hidden gem that you've been looking for...... The chef deserves an award purely for managing to serve such top end food for the money.
It's a quality over quantity place, don't expect big
portions.. It's not fast food either so don't go when you're in a rush.
River cafe is all about high quality food and flavours, I've been a few times now and tried more new tastes there than anywhere round here - everything cooked perfectly too.
3 courses for £8.95 during the day is good anywhere but the standard of food sets this place apart... The smoked mashed potatoes yesterday were off the scale. I cant recommend it highly enough to do it justice.
We had another wonderful meal here. The food is so fresh, well cooked and good value. We'll be back soon. We often visit River Café and are never disappointed. The welcome is warm and the ambience pleasant. The menu is full of good quality ingredients. A Riverside gem.
We wanted somewhere where we could get a quick cup of tea. So we searched on Google maps and this place was at the top of the list. So we took a ten minute walk to give these guys a try...
We walked in and asked if we could have "just two teas" and was greeted with a great Geordie welcome.
All we can say is the teas were lovely at a very reasonable price. We were given a menu "just in case", but we simply didn't have time. But the menu did look appetising and we did see what others had ordered and that looked great.
So gutted we couldn't stay long, but hope to pop in again in the not too distant future. (We live in Manchester by the way)

A cool looking restaurant serving a good range of food.
Pizza was nice. Pretty much full size pizza for the kids one which was good. Kids loved it.
Adult pizza was lovely
My wife got a beef rice bowl - I think it was a soy sauce based dish and was inedible. Wayyyy too salty. I think this recipe needs adjusting.
It was a Monday afternoon so quiet only reason I gave four stars. Food was really good. Enjoyed it immensely will be going back
Went in for the first time with a group of friends looking to get a couple of drinks and maybe some food. Advertised as a bar and kitchen. Upon entering we were greeted by two young girls who seemed completely bewildered and had no idea really what to do with us.
Waiting to be seated when your popping in for drinks especially when people greeting you don't seem to know what to do when there were 5 people and a dog completely killed Any excitement we had about our first visit. Eventually we pointed out a table that was clearly visible and not reserved. And by that point decided we wouldn't be eating and just have a drink and move on. We had eagerly anticipated our visit as it had been on the cards for a while. But when we got there it felt very much like a restaurant pretending it was a cool bar. And I'm the end failed at both. It advertises as dog friendly but that seemed to be what baffled the hosts.
Its a really nice venue and the drinks were to be expected. But that initial welcome just left us feeling like it wasn't a venue we wanted to be in.
There are better places to visit in the area that are more welcoming and I'm surprised that this venue has the reputation it does.
We came here during North Tyneside restaurant week as a party of 5. The place is nice inside and in a great location. Unfortunately, all 5 members of our party got sick from the food so I can't give it a good rating for that reason. This may have been because the food took a long time to come out, seems they were understaffed bless them!
Always a lovely dining experience - we were quick to be seated with our dog and enjoyed the food! Affordable, quality, hot food! 👍 Will be back again at the end of the month with family!
Burger was tasty and food reasonably priced, would definitely return!
I can't find words to explain how even more fantastic of a time my wife and I had here..some great choices on the menu ,but we went for the sharing platter as we did both want to try everything...we were not let down by anymeans.This is a must for everyone to try.

Absolutely horrendous experience this evening. Visitors to the area and decided to spend the evening in the beer garden. Walked in and joined the orderly queue at the bar. Several people got served in front of us, but when it got to my turn at the front of the queue several locals had come in, stood themselves at the bar, and the barmaid totally ignored me and walked off to serve the locals that she obviously knew well. The bar was empty when we joined the queue and we waited nearly 15 mins as it was, but to then be completely ghosted in favour of the locals was terrible. We walked straight out after making our feeling known to the said barmaid. It wasn’t as if everyone was stood haphazard at a busy bar. The queue was formed at the fill and she was well aware of the order of serving. It was a totally deliberate act to ignore me in favour of the regulars who had entered the bar area well after us. Made us feel very uncomfortable. Terrible way to work at a bar.
Only popped in for a drink, people who were having food commented that it was good. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Our favourite local pub! Such a hidden gem. Great beer garden. Usually quiet but has a lovely atmosphere.
The chicken stuffed with chorizo & wrapped in bacon with a creamy sauce was absolutely beautiful. I would get a side order or chips aswell tho. Plus the beer garden out front is lush and can get hours of sunshine on the right day.
Ordered food to share and have half and half. Absolutely amazing! . Had a bottle of wine and a couple of pints between 2 of us. Chicken burger medium nandys style😂 with hone made chips (gorgeous) and chicken breast with cheese, chorizo and bacon (to die for) came to about 40 quid.
Andrew's pie is a must. Lovely pastry and interesting choice of fillings Not your standard pub steak & ale!
Deserts nice and not over priced.
Wines good value.
Cask ale Maxim's.
What's not to like.
Friendly staff, nice inside. There was a good food selection and we all enjoyed our food. We got fish and chips, venison pie and chicken tikka flatbread.

Sambuca Percy Main is a delightful culinary destination that truly shines when it comes to Italian cuisine. With an impressive menu offering great value, diners can enjoy generous portions of mouthwatering dishes without breaking the bank. The squid starter, paired with a zesty tomato and chili sauce, stands out as one of the best in town.
Excellent value food (and good quality to), especially with the meal deal available before 5pm. Staff were unfailingly pleasant and helpful. I would like a few options for better craft beers, but at the end of the day you come for the food not the beer. I've been a few times and will definitely be back too.

Ordered food via Uber Eats. Choice was brilliant and very reasonably priced. For the 4 of us, having 2 courses each, it was £60. The food was absolutely delicious and huge portions, my Squid starter with a tomato and chilli sauce is up there with the best squid ive ever had. My daughter's dessert was missing,so I called the restaurant and explained. They were very apologetic and not only delivered the missing dessert with 10 minutes, they also gave 2 extra dessert, which was a lovely gesture. Can't fault their customer service. I've eaten at this restaurant a few times but tonight was first time getting a delivery. Will definitely be buying again. One of the best delivery meals ever. Thank you Sambuca Percy Main x
The perfect harmony of the Italian roasted peppers, onions, and the sambuca-infused sauce creates a culinary masterpiece of delight sense. The fried squid with sauce is a crispy ecstasy that deserves applause. You can feel the symphony of flavors dancing with the calamari.
Happy & friendly service, food was amazing and portion size was beautiful,
Came for the £5.95 deal. Absolutely fantastic as always here. Great value for money, you wouldn't get all this in the supermarket for that price.
Lovely staff and service as always.
We'll be back.
Crazy, ordered on Uber waited 1:40 and no sign of the food even been made.
I went down to get the money back and the manager said “all this for £20”
Which I replied with “I have ordered something and you didn’t deliver so yes I will want my money back, I could of come in shouting I haven’t I’ve been respectful”
He then said “if you came in shouting I would of took you round the back”
I’m not an easily scared person at the best of times but the 4ft5” manager was not intimidating.
Threatening customers is very low and you should be ashamed of yourself
Best place for a pre race pasta party , love these guys.We come up from London every year for the GNR and always eat here the night before the race
I'm a big fan of the Sambuca chain being a regular at the Glass House one in Manor Walks Cramlington. However Percy Main serve the same delicious food but at better prices it is worth travelling the few extra miles to save a few quid. We will be back.

There is two pools one with a slide and a traditional swimming pool. The centre is spotless. The gym is well equipped with up to date equipment that are really easy to use. Staffing are on hand to help. I just used the gym and pool for the week whilst I was staying nearby whilst attending a training course. The cafe is nice and has a Costa as well. When I am up this way again I will be using the centre.
Lovely gym - clean and modern, has everything you need and can easily get parking as multiple car parks (if you get a membership with permit). However, not enough mats (two) in the gym, so I and others are always waiting around! There is also a staff member who always seems to be using the gym equipment or mats rather than actually working? It would be 5 stars if more mats available or another room for this type of workout. Could get rid of some treadmills as these are loads and never all been used at once…staff aren’t very helpful either
Brilliant place for all ages to play, swim, relax it ticks the boxes. Staff are always friendly and helpful and care about your visit. The lay out is set at the edge of a park, beach over the road, boat lake on the other side it's a good day out.
Great for my early Sunday morning swim. Staff have been helpful when ive asked for help with anything. Clean toilets and changing areas. Only gripe is the little cafe doesnt open till 10 on Sundays so doesnt cover the early birds which is a shame. The cafe at Hebburn seems to open earlier. Would have been 5⭐️ otherwise.
I very often notice that people cut their nails and scrape off skin in the sauna, creating a mess and a lot of filth. I feel absolutely disgusted in such situations. This issue was reported to the management of the leisure centre, but no action was taken.
It seems that the visitors care more about hygiene than the administration does.
And since the pool is regularly visited by many children, it would be appropriate to escalate this to higher authorities in order to prompt the administration to take an interest.
Good slides and pools for the kids.
It gers very busy at weekends naturally but too busy at times. Should have better restrictions to keep it reasonable
Attended my sons swimming gala here....its quite clean. They have a lovely canteen. The pool area was quite warm.

History Museums
Jarrow Hall: Anglo-Saxon Farm, Village, and Bede Museum is a captivating destination that transports visitors back to the 7th century. Located just a short drive or quick metro ride from South Shields, this expansive site spans 11 acres and celebrates the life of Venerable Bede, often referred to as the Father of English History.
What a wonderful place. Visited when the dragons were on display, great little museum with stories of Anglo Saxon life, a farm and a replica village. My son loved it. The cafe was excellent as well, great service and nice food. Only thing I would say is it took a while to enter as only one person was on the till.

Attended for the dragon parade and had a blast! The farm, village, and museum were enough to keep an 11 and 13 year old interested from 12-4, and they didn't want to leave. It was quite busy just after the parade, but we all enjoyed it!
This place has so much potential, But no animal feed, staff looked stressed. Lady on front desk was lovley. Museum we ok. Building works going on. But lots of children doing activities in the halls/ classroom
Disappointing although inexpensive visit. Everything appeared more shabby than last year. Access to various areas was limited. The cafe is ok but we sat outside & had a relatively long wait for 3 cups of coffee. Toilet facilities are adequate but not particularly pleasant. Staff were polite & helpful. There is access to a very nice public park.
Great place for kids, there's animals and plenty of outdoor space. Cafe on sight and loads of room for picnics. Play park on sight for kids aswell. You pay once and get an annual ticket, not expensive at all.
I wanted to like this place I'd planned the visit for a couple of months while I was in the area , on entering there was workman and scaffolding, through the main entrance the fountain wasn't working and had some dirty water still in it , wasn't as historic as I imagined, a few long house styled thatched buildings , some ancient breeds of cow, sheep , goat , horse , pigs nothing much else I thought there would be reenactors explaining how it was to visitors , you've got to use your imagination it needs more information boards or interactive boards , discount for people on benefits and your ticket lasts a full year , I won't be rushing back
We have been before but on Saturday the 13th it was an open day and free entry. There us an indoor museum and an outdoor one that represents how are ancestors would've lived during the Anglo-Saxon times. We took our grandson this time and he liked seeing the animals, the cats and goats in particular.
The history of the venerable Bede was fascinating. His life, works and legacy. I was not aware of the "cult of Bede". Anglo Saxon village was fun, though I can see it a bigger hit with younger children. Liked the pigs! Experimental archaeologists explained about the chicken coop they were constructing. Not sure how often I would go but definitely worth it if you're fond of history and want to know what happened after the Romans.

Pub
The Priory is a charming pub and restaurant located in Tynemouth, England. Situated near the dramatic Tynemouth Priory & Castle and the picturesque Tynemouth Longsands, this delightful establishment offers a welcoming atmosphere and delicious food. The pub is known for its friendly bar staff and delectable dishes.
Increasingly my favourite place to go in Tynemouth. Good value, great people, and it's not pretending to be anything it's not. And it serves breakfasts until 3pm so you can have a proper filler and a pint for well under £15, not bad at all!
Patrick C — Google review
We wandered up and down Front Street, Tynemouth, on a miserably cold day. We looked in the door and the place looked warm and welcoming.
There were a few other customers, but at 5:30 on a cold Thursday evening it was welcoming to see other diners.
The menu was small but as it was titled 'Winter Warmers' it was what we wanted to see.
The staff were very friendly and our order was soon taken. Our food arrived in a reasonable time. We were not disappointed. I had dumplings, mince, chips and peas. The better half had scampi and chips. Portion sizes were pleasing. The cost was similar to other eateries we had looked at prior to choosing 'The Priory'.
All in all it was a teatime success.
Waited over an hour for food and it was awful.
I had beef chilli with rice. The chilli tasted like tinned and rice out of a bag. Lukewarm too!.
My partner had a prawn salad and said it was the worst she'd ever had.
If we were told it would be a long wait for food we could've gone somewhere else.
Wish we had.
AVOID!
Don’t normally write reviews but experience was so bad thought I’d better. Went in on a Tuesday so was quite quiet. Ordered a pizza and a chicken salad as they had ran out of a few other things on the menu. Took over an hour for the kitchen to serve up a pizza and a salad!! Bar staff didn’t seem bothered when we said that was pretty poor service. Food was rubbish as well. Other tables were starting to complain about their wait as we were leaving. Tables, menus etc were all sticky and dirty. Would avoid and go elsewhere, lots of choice nearby. Surprised it’s able to stay open in that location with how bad it is.
Staff (spot on)
Atmosphere (spot on)
Food (really inedible)
Me and my friend got fish fingers, chips, mushy peas, salad, coleslaw and bread.
Fish fingers were disgusting. Fish! Definitely not. And, the batter was thick and very greasy.
Chips would have been spot on if they weren't so greasy too.
I honestly could of squeezed the grease out of the fish fingers and the chips.
Mushy peas (nice)
Coleslaw (nice)
Salad (erm, basic)
Overall, disappointed is being polite.
For the main street in Tynemouth, it's shameful to serve such bad quality food. Pub food is pub food, and that's ok, but this put pub food to shame.
In all honesty, we will never go back.
We just wouldn't risk giving them a second chance; it was that bad.
The fish fingers and the chips are the main part of the plate; yet they were the worst.
Popped in for a drink and something to eat. Settled on the breakfast. While it was ok I did receive a snotty egg and would much prefer menu to state if it's fresh or tinned tomatoes. If tinned tomatoes then the toast should arrive on a separate plate as it gets soaked from the tomato juice.
The atmosphere was quite dull. The place is very dusty. Couldn't believe how dusty it was. Mainly up a height around all the bulbs and shades and the big canopy around the door. Cleaner obviously needs a feather duster.
Took ages to be served a starter and some chips, the chef came out of the kitchen to tell us they had run out of part of the dish and he would add extra of other ingredients unfortunately his body odour was terrible and his chefs uniform disgusting he also had a beard that was not covered up. At this point we read the most recent reviews and started to be worried but as we had already paid we waited the food came out and it was very poor, burnt garlic bread without garlic, undercooked chips,luke warm chicken strips, greasy onion rings with raw onion served by a bar member who had the personality of a lamp post and the other plates served by the chef with the stale body odour, it put us off eating all we could do was laugh at how bad it was and regret coming in. Don't want to be mean about the chef he was very polite as a person but his personal hygiene made us worry about the hygiene in the kitchen this wasn't smell from working in a hot kitchen it was smell of not washing over a period of time, we left the food without eating 😞
Been for food tonight..
Gotta say food was spot on like.. really enjoy my Chilli.. my lass had a beef baguette she's enjoy the that.. proper chips too.. love homemade chips..
Definitely be back..

Fish and chips takeaway
Longsands Fish Kitchen is a popular seafood restaurant situated in Tynemouth, offering an array of freshly caught fish and seafood dishes alongside vegetarian and gluten-free options. The cozy atmosphere makes it a hit with kids, while the diverse menu caters to various tastes.
Day trip out to the coast so decided to have fish and chips for lunch. This was nice discovery. Located in the middle of the town of Tynemouth it serves fresh fried fish with good selection of sides. I had the Haddock. A very nice touch is the board showing where the fish and potatoes are sourced from including names of fisherman and farmers!
David C — Google review
One of the best fish and chips spots in Tynemouth! The service is friendly and efficient, perfect for a quick meal. While the restaurant is clean and conveniently close to the beach, seating is limited, there are only a couple of outdoor tables, and the indoor area often has a long queue. The price is reasonable also. Your best bet? Grab a takeaway and enjoy it by the water!
Had the kids portion of cod bites which was more than generous. So so tasty, fresh, and the homemade tartare sauce was incredible! We all loved it. Can’t wait to come back
Absolutely outstanding!
Longstands Fish Kitchen is easily one of the best seafood spots around. The fish was perfectly fresh, beautifully cooked, and full of flavor — crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The chips were golden perfection, and the portions generous. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making the experience great. You can taste the quality and passion in every bite.
If you love great seafood and friendly service, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!
Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Very light crispy batter and the cod was so fresh.
Love that they have a board with who caught the fish and where ( no prizes for guessing North Atlantic )
The squid was also amazing.
We were wishing we had room to try the sticky toffee pudding but the generous portions meant we were too full.
Great place - glad we booked as they were busy
There’s a reason this place has award-winning chippies! I had the cod fish & chips (~£15), and my friend got the haddock with mushy peas add-on (£17 ish, I think), and both were AMAZING. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the tartare and chilli sauce took it to the next level. Didn’t even need salt or pepper—flavours were spot on!
The staff were so lovely, like someone give them a raise lol 😭 I didn't get their names but they were two girls working on 16 Mar about 12-1 PM ish. Also, I got lucky getting a table without a booking, but I saw quite a few people turned away because it was full. If you want to secure a seat, definitely book ahead!
Much love from Manchester! ❤️
Visitor from the States here! (Philadelphia/New York area, so I know good food!) The food was so good I never stopped chewing to take pictures! We started out with the fried cheese, pineapple fritters and tiger prawns with chili jam and I was already floored. The prawns were large and juicy and sauce was perfect! The pineapple fritters were a new and cool idea that went over well with kids and adults alike.
I love that they mark vegetarian and gluten free options on their menu.
I was torn between the fish and chips everyone raved about and the tiger prawn curry because I love a good curry sauce, so the owner recommended the fish and chips with curry sauce on the side and OMG! My mouth was so delighted! I chose haddock over cod as I had just had cod recently and the fish was so fresh and absolutely cooked to perfection. I couldn’t waste one bite of batter or fish being dipped in the curry and mushy peas together. This has got to be the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. With or without sauce every bite was amazing. The chips are thick and well prepared.
Even though I didn’t have one bit of room left my friend and I indulged in dessert. He got the apple crumble crème brûlée that was on Special and I got the sticky coffee pudding with ice cream. We couldn’t decide which one was better but they were both on our top 10 list of dessert. Such a fantastic experience. The service was incredible and the place is cute and very very clean. Even the bathrooms at the end of the day. I might make trips back to the UK just to visit this place!
Firdt time here. Fish is cooked fresh so you have to wait. The fish was lovely, will try the restaurant part the next time

Fish & chips restaurant
Colmans Fish and Chips is a family-run restaurant with over 25 years of experience, known for its traditional menu offering sustainably-sourced cod, lemon sole, squid, and Whitby scampi. It's an institution in the North East and attracts long queues on special occasions like Good Friday and after events like the Great North Run. The restaurant has a sit-down area while also offering takeaways.
Best fish and chips in town. Beautiful fresh fish with light batter. Freshly cooked chips that are crispy not soggy. Portions are very generous (can definitely share a portion of chips).
The batter on both the scampi and the sausage are light, not heavy and not at all greasy.
There is a takeaway attached to the restaurant serving the same classics, same quality and taste.
Perfect for a summers day or a cold winters night.

One of our restaurants in this area that we definitely always eat at is Colemans. Very tender fish that melts in your mouth and the delicious side dishes bring us here again (july 2024 and now 11. th july 2025) and again! great service!
Finally had my Lobster 🦞 😋 2 x daughters treat for father's day, and fantastic 👏 also had scallops, with chips and salad 🥗 washed down with a cold pint of Moretti, and it was to die for!
Staff first class 👌 and lovely place. Plenty of parking adjacent, or across the road, and right on the sea front, so you can walk it off after!!
You must go for the culinary experience 😁
Came to Coleman's for the first time. It's pretty hard to come to a family business that's been open for years in a seaside town and have a bad experience. Coleman's is a perineal fish and chips restaurant not to be missed. The portion sizes are huge and the food is great. The homemade tarter sauce is not to be missed. Highly recommend it.
Crispy batter, fresh fish, and perfectly cooked chips—Colman’s nails the British classic. Friendly staff and quick service make it even better. A must-try!
Had lovely cod, chips and curry sauce and cup of coffee for £17.95 here. It's award winning fish and chips
Fantastic fish and chips, great quick service! Tasty!
Ocean Rd has been famous for takeaways for decades but you simply just visit South Shields for fish and chips! The competition is strong across the town but Colmans is the best, no question. You can sit down all civilised-like in the restaurant next door or you can grab takeaway and go sit on the beach. Whichever you chose you won't be disappointed and you can even find out which local boats landed the catch. Best fish and chips in South Shields!

Quiet when we visited but the staff were so helpful (wheelchair user) in many ways. Food was from the new menu and there was. A wide choice( too many with cheese automatically included but thats a personal quirk as I hate cheeese). Food tasty plates cleared

Stopped in the premier inn next door and had the meal deal included. I was a bit dubious as the beefeater chains are a lot better, and i am not the biggest fan of brewers fayre. However, it was better than most I have been to. I suppose it's just luck off the draw who's cooking. The mixed grill was pretty good, and the breakfast the next day was also. Only negatives were the coffee machine wasn't working and had a fault on it. This was attempted to be fixed by the staff unfortunately unsuccessfully.
All the buffet breakfast food was nice -sausages, bacon, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns. Good choice of juice, tea coffee
DIRTY CUTLERY was the worst thing .
The service was excellent & all the staff were very friendly and polite..
A much better visit this time, all of the staff we encountered were fabulous. There was a big holdup on ordering our food because the staff member was assisting a customer to redeem multiple vouchers from one meal or group of people which meant he had to check multiple invoices from previous days but this wasn't a problem so long as we got served!
We did, and the food was lovely. Hot and fresh with attentive staff making sure everything was ok.
A sea change to our last visit!
Been here a couple of times now and wanted to pop a review on here because I don't think I've done it before, this place is PERFECT for anyone travelling from the port, The staff are friendly and welcoming and very professional, The food (breakfast) was Well cooked, plenty of it and delicious, Absolutely fantastic prices for this economy too, plus the kids eat free, you really can't complain. Even managed to cater some Gluten free stuff for my wife who is Coeliac. Atmosphere was laid back, relaxed and very welcoming. Looking forward to visiting again on my next trip.
The food was filling and yummy. Service was a bit slow. Atmosphere:children laughing in the play area lovely smell and the kids laugh made you want to just go into the play area and be a kid again.
Not rated the food as we didn't eat only had a couple of drinks.
My 5 year old grandson loved the place.
so much for him to do with the indoor soft play and then the outside to.
Would highly recommend
Used to be a lovely family restaurant years ago. Dirty and dilapidated now, sticky tables, dirty carpet, upholstery falling apart. The food is awful I can cook better myself. Terrible value considering the quality of the food. It’s only saving grace is the friendly and helpful nature of the staff.

Heard a lot of great reviews about this lovely cinema, so called by just for a drink and weigh it up for myself. Beautiful experience, even if it was only for a drink. Staff were very friendly and informative. Social seating area and toilets were lovely and clean. I will definitely call here to see my next film.

Love this place anyway but the new decor makes it even better. A little gem for Whitley Bay. Whoever is running it knows what they are doing and I only hope people support it; use it or loose it!!! It would even just be a lovely venue for a drink tbh. The staff are so nice, the bar well stocked and very nice indeed and even I didn't wince at the prices!
Fantastic cinema. Very warm and inviting. Excellent staff. Great choice of drinks and snacks. The screens only sit about 30 people which I find perfect for the cinematic experience. The picture quality and sound quality is excellent.
Wonderful quirky volunteer run cinema. Very reasonable ticket and refreshments prices
Lovely little cinema. Friendly staff and really reasonable prices for snacks and drinks! Has a lift for those that struggle with stairs which is lovely then the rest of the place is on one floor so nice and accessible. Love the tiered ticket system to allow donations for those that may struggle to see things in cinema usually. Can't wait to bring my family to watch something here next time they visit. Would highly recommend
If you live in Whitley bay and like watching movies and you have not been here you should be ashamed of yourself. This is a great little place. It shows all the latest movies, has a relaxed atmosphere and fair prices snacks. Most of all though the cinematic experience is really, really good. So next time you want to go to the cinema, instead of going to the major chain places try this and I bet you have a good time.
Fabulous, quirky, loved it. Got sofa seat at the front and was so comfy....first time ever 2hr30min film didn't feel long at all... so much leg room.
If disabled, lift up to first floor, seat at front. Staff were so friendly and helpful
Great little cinema. Well stocked bar, clean facilities, friendly staff. A mix of seating in the screen is nice, offering settees as well as standard seats.

Fantastic group lesson for a stag do party! The warm-up games at the beginning were fun and well-organised, and were a great way to get everyone mixing. The surf instruction was explained really clearly. When we got into the water the instructors were incredibly helpful and friendly, giving us tips and physically guiding us at the right time to catch the waves. They were great at helping and motivating everyone, from the less-confident beginners to those who'd surfed quite a bit. Really great experience. Would highly recommend!

Our boys aged 5 and 7 had their first surfing lesson with Tynemouth Surf Co and they were outstanding. Friendly, encouraging and very knowledgable. Louis and Killian adapted to what each boy needed and gave them a wonderful first experience. We will absolutely be coming back
Just a little place but it's lovely and clean my sister got a burger to take out
I went in to make some enquiries. The lady at the desk, Annie (I think), was perfectly pleasant and answered all my questions. Not overly pushy to make a sale which has put me off similar shops in the past, overall a surprisingly good experience
Aye aye fellow Googlers, today i start to fulfil another promise i made to myself back in March this year when i started this latest fight to get my mobility back, there are many promises i made back then like climb a mountain, get sea kayaking qualifications and learning to surf amongst others even more fanciful, the learning to surf one was almost like a joke as at the time i couldn't stand for long without using a walking cane.
Well it is now 4 months later and I am 49 lbs lighter than i was in March and for the first time in over a decade i walked 3.5 mile yesterday without my cane, it took me 1hr 20 minutes according to my gps but to me that was like rocket speed, especially when all i had to do to alleviate the pain and discomfort caused to my underlying spine injury was 30 minutes of gentle yoga when i got home.
So today I figured since i can stand and walk a bit it was time to start learning to surf, I had my first ever surfing lesson today and it is luckily with the professionals at Tynemouth Surf Co run by Louis Thomas-Hudson, former captain of team GB Junior surf team, i wore my gopro mounted on my wrist to capture the day for posterity, it was so much hard work but a lot of fun and worth the pain i am in right now.
My session was run by Jordan and Sam and they were totally spot on, very encouraging and patient with the group of all beginners today and before long they had us all catching waves and having a great time, you'd think you'd be freezing in the North Sea but by the time we had done the warm up i was ready to get in the water just to cool off, I genuinely can't wait to go back, you might be able to tell from my pictures how much fun i had, you decide, personally i thought it was 30 quid well spent in my book (for the 2 hours beginner surf lessons and all the kit needed hired).
Thanks again lads i'll see you all soon.
Absolutely brilliant lesson today! Surf instructors Si and Jim were amazing! Me, my daughter (age 10), and my aunty thought it was the best thing ever. Never stopped smiling. We did it for my daughter’s birthday and she said this is the best birthday present ever!!! You guys did a brilliant job. Loved every minute! Will definitely be back!!! My daughter was amazing and stood up loads, I stood up a few times too! Thank you!!
Always good to be back at the tynemouth Surf co : a warm welcome from Louis, Nathan and all the Team, good advises and a very nice spot !
Many thanks for France and See you soon
Fantastically stocked surf shop situated above an incredible beach. A couple days ago coming to the end of a lush swell day, my van decided to throw a wobbly locking me, a post-surf icicle still suited an booted, out in the rapidly descending darkness. The amazing Angela leapt into action, helping me to work out a solution to the problem (and providing me with a place to drip out of the cold). I turned up in despair, and left with me heart full of kindness, thank you all so much, I'll be back!

Hushcrofts have done an exceptional job of clearing my late mother's house. It has been a stressful time but Max and his team have been friendly and professional and taken a huge weight off our shoulders. They were fast, efficient and considerate throughout and as a company they are competitively priced and do their best to give things a second life and avoid landfill by donating items to charity as well as selling what they can to bring the price down for their customers - this is great for the environment but also for our peace of mind! A brilliant company for any clearance needs - highly recommended!

Huscrofts were thorough and very professional from start to finish. Max and his team were very nice to deal with at a stressful time. Would highly recommend for house clearance - thank you!
Max and his team are extremely professional taking all the stress out of house clearance. They acted in a considerate and efficient manner sorting all my house contents for charities with minimal landfill. Communication was excellent and he phased my clearance over 2 stages to stage the house for sale. Good value for money too.
Highly highly recommended.
I found Huscrofts house clearance to provide an excellent timely and professional service. This delivered at a time of loss of a loved one when so much respect is required for their now unwanted possessions. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Max and Matt have just cleared a house for me. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services. House was left as clean as it could possibly be. Truly exceptional service.
Huscrofts did a great job clearing my late mother's home. Max is very professional and did things in a caring and sensitive way at what was a difficult time for us. He has a great network of contacts to arrange for things to be reused or disposed of responsibly, if necessary. We highly recommend Huscrofts.
Max and the team in North Shields are extremely polite and professional people.
In Sep-2023 They cleared my home quickly and efficiently at short notice, as taking the items via a removal firm was extremely costly!
Highly recommended! 5 stars from me :)
An unbelievable service from Max and the team. We hired Huscroft to completely clear a large 4 bed Victorian property, with decades upon decades of clutter. The result is phenomenonal- it looks like a different house. And very climate conscious, with very little going to landfill. All furniture is rehomed to good causes, clothes to charity to support charity work, woods and metals recycled, small furniture to be upcycled by local businesses. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better job done. It was an absolutely amazing transformation for the property, done within an unbelievable time frame, friendly and courteous. Thank you.

I ordered a coat online for my daughter to try
It was delivered to another store.
It unfortunately didn’t fit so I returned to the Kingston Park store on 30.11.23.
The service I received was fantastic.
The lady was very professional. The whole process of returning the item was extremely good at the store.
Thank you.

Ordered some slippers and was told they would be delivered to the South shields branch on or before Friday 17th, I had no text on the Friday to say they had arrived so I phoned customer service and was told they were in transit. I got no text on the Saturday so phoned again and was they were in transit, so I still don't know where they are
Disappointed to learn they are hurting wildlife with the netting that kills birds and refusing to discuss the issue.
We were using your store but no more
If you read up the reviews you'll find a trend, lots of customers have their orders either delayed or totally missing. I ordered the last item on the stock before it was all sold out, I was really looking forward to it and somehow Next delivered it to a wrong stock and now it's missing, they cannot track it anymore. How is it even possible this day and age where you pretty much scan from one place to another. Surely, they can tell me where the item was last located and ask that store, I'm seriously put off by it now, left such bad taste that I won't recommend their online or not bothering to buy anything from them either, shockingly bad service from Next.
Would just like to thank the two lovely ladies that were working til 6.30 thurs 5th May . I thought the store was open until 7pm when we arrived at 6.10pm to choose my son an outfit for my upcoming wedding . They were very pleasant, engaging and accommodating even tho we were the last customers of the day .Great customer service .
The most horrible customer service and store I ever been before. Paying such money and even when collecting parcels didn’t receive correct amount of bags and items. It’s a joke to come back one more time to store to collect second parcel again, pay for parking and fuel one more time and waste my time for it. Never will order in this shop again.
Extremely angry. Ordered a pair of Vivianne Westwoods, due to come on Tuesday sometime after 12pm. My mum went to pick it up and it wasn't there. I was looking forward to wearing these but I am fuming. I should have my order! Absolutely horrendous. Never experienced this from Next, the delivery is always good, but I am the most disappointed I've been in a while.
Great little Next outlet in South Shields.
Handy shop to pop in. Parking outside is paid, however, if you are going to Asda across the way well you can always use their car park and get the parking costs refunded when you do your grocery shopping.
Used it for part of my Christmas shopping.

The Saltwater Tavern

Pub
Nestled in a charming locale, The Saltwater Tavern is a delightful transformation of the former Staithe House, which sadly closed its doors after lockdown. This dog-friendly pub welcomes furry companions with open arms and offers an array of treats for them. For humans, there's an impressive selection of real ales and cocktails to enjoy. The Saltwater Tavern has garnered accolades for its exceptional Sunday roasts—truly some of the best around!
It's easy to see why this lovely little pub has won so many awards (including a Michelin Bib Gourmand award) - it's been the best Sunday roast we've had to date!
The 'Yorkies' are almost as big as your head. The beef and lamb were both tender and cooked perfectly. And the veggies are a step ahead of the competition. There's also a specific vegetarian menu if needed.
Service was friendly and efficient, and I really appreciated being asked how we wanted the meat.
Given how busy they get for Sunday lunch (customers were being turned away), I'd certainly recommend making a booking. Even being fully booked, there was still ample parking on site when we arrived.
There's no specific kids menu, but they do a half serve of the roast if you're dragging any little ones along (and it was still probably big enough for a lot of adults).
Unfortunately we were only passing through, but if I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be back for a second helping!

Amazing food.. Had the fish finger sandwich - special of the day - which just melted in the mouth. Beer and service brilliant, will be back for Sunday lunch!
A lovelly bar serving great beer ales and spirits. We visit regularly during the day and sit and have a nice drink. The staff are lovelly . You can sit inside or outside in comfortable seating but still feeling like you have plenty of space . Prices are to be expected for the area not cheap but not too high . A very relaxing place
Amazing tasting menu! Great place.
I can't speak highly enough of this excellent gastro style pub. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, fantastic local ales and food. Very reasonably priced for the award winning standard of food that is served.
Absolutely amazing place!! Food is incredible, great atmosphere and the staff are excellent. Can't wait to go back!! 😍😍
Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented food. Nice atmosphere too! Get the Sunday roast. Its a taste experience you will never forget!
I was recommended this place a while back! Absolutely amazing! I ended up having a second Sunday dinner for dessert! Get booked in! Not to be missed

All hype and a waste of money. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY
Had a table booked on last night for 7 people. We were squished in to a booth and a single chair at the end (booth should really only be for 4 adults if you want to really eat and drink).
The menu is support expensive for what it is providing.
I got the half duck and pancakes to share with my wife for £20. The duck was horrible and it wasn't shredded how it should be, instead it was burnt and in chunks which needed working on before you could put into a pancake. Honestly, you can get a half duck pancake sent from all supermarkets now for under £7 and it would be much better.
Drinks were flowing so I ordered a pina colada to join in but normally I'm not much of a drinker. They have me pineapple juice and argued there was alcohol in it but eventually the amazing waitress sorted it out.
After 30 minutes of finishing 3 starters I had to ask them to clear the table and were ready for mains.
We sat down around 18.00 to 18.30 as a group... at 21.00 we still didn't have our mains. Before this we noticed there was something wrong bendy no one was eating in the restaurant. We booked a table across the road and started putting on our coats etc when the main course came out at 21.05.
We really wish we just stuck our ground and just left and went to the other restaurant. The food was utter trash. All our dishes lacked flavour. We all left all our food half done and just wanted to get out of the nightmare.
The manager came over and did his best with his discounts but we still ended up giving them £200 as we understand it wasn't all the staffs fault but that is still a hard pill to swallow when you spend £200 to sit there for 3 hours and not get any good food to show for it.
This place needs to stop focusing on being a party restaurant and actually start making proper food with taste and not serve out dishwater and unseasoned meats.
Such a shame but the place has gone down hill and needs to stop scamming people.
Worst dining experience I've had in my life but mcdonalds on the way home saved my night.
I was just looking around Tynemouth for somewhere to have dinner and on a whim entered the Buddha Lounge and Restaurant. From the get go the experience was great.
Quick, attentive and very efficient staff.
The drinks were fairly well prepared. I would certainly use less ice in some of the drinks.
The food on the other hand was just what I was looking for. On my first visit I went for the Thai options and on the second, Chinese. Both were very well prepared and every morsel was delicious.
Very impressed by the Buddha Lounge! We didn't have a reservation but the welcoming staff found us a table within a minute despite it being busy. All the staff were friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious and there were plenty of vegan options. There's a superb offering of drinks too. It's a stunning venue that creates a great atmosphere.
Food is always amazing and really big tasty portions fresh hot always my first choice resturant stunning restaurant inside every time I go is always amazing service food atmosphere cocktails are the best in North East
The flavours were surprisingly decent. The atmosphere was a little over the top for lunch but made for a great lounge.
Want planning on going here but the place we were going to go wasn't open. Glad we did go though. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Did was great. Will defiantly come back again there's so much on the menu I want to try.
Great menu choice, attentive waiting staff, given free drinks after our order was served incorrectly. Lovely interior. Very busy but food was served promptly.

Lovely setting and atmosphere. Food very good, great value. Service and staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back soon.

Hidden gem. Went 3 times during our stay. Fantastic food and lots of choices. Great staff. Highly recommended
So we had a meal on a Wednesday night, it was a bit quiet as expected but the food and service was 5 Star. The 16.95 meal deal with a glass of wine for 2.50 was excellent. We would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back . The food is really good and no complaints.
An absolutely amazing restaurant, the food is delicious, and really reasonably priced. There's a really nice, cosy, and friendly atmosphere inside and there's a great view of the town centre. Carly, Ingrid, Laura, and everyone else who works there, are all so nice. We love this restaurant so much that we had our wedding reception there and they were so great and accommodating on our special day. Overall, would recommend to everyone.
This was a great find and stop. We were cycling back home and called in for a quick pizza. The pizza was outstanding and arrived quick. Literally were down and dusted in 22 minutes. The venue is great, staff are friendly. I will be coming back again... Take my time the next visit.
Really good meals and good prices. Staff excellent. Will definitely recommend and ho back
Lovely food as always, don't think I've ever had a bad meal at Sambuca's and they keep cropping up everywhere.
I had a fantastic risotto and my partner had what he described as an average lasagna, reasonably priced
