Tyne And Wear Restaurant Guide

“THE place to go in the north east if you want to experience a first-class chippy”, this “classic fish ’n’ chip shop” (run by four generations of the family since 1926) is “fantastic, as ever” – with “very fresh fish” and “scampi from locally caught langoustines”. See also Colmans Seafood Temple, nearby.

This “stunning cocktail bar with panoramic views” and “unbeatable fish and seafood” was opened by the local fish ’n’ chip dynasty two years ago and is “already a winner – a must-visit venue” on the South Tyneside seafront. It’s a “fabulous” re-purposing of a colonnaded 1931 “local folly” known as ‘Gandhi’s Temple’ – and menu highlights include an “enormous fish mixed grill”.

“Love this place” – “the Indian street food flavours are wonderful” and “very different” at this Jesmond outfit with bright interiors, an open kitchen and verandah, which compares favourably with the city-centre original.

“Quality Indian street food” and a “fantastic selection of really unusual small plates” attract the most feedback of any curry house on Tyneside for this 13-year-old near the Theatre Royal (and its Jesmond offshoot). “Our go-to for a very rapid meal in Newcastle”, its “innovative menu and fresh cooking” “never disappoint”.

“Traditional fish ’n’ chips or more sophisticated and unusual fish dishes” (with “quality sourcing proudly displayed”) are on the menu at this “casual” yet “immaculate” haunt, “named after Tynemouth’s famous blue-flag beach”.

2019 Review: “In an old signal box joined with an old carriage” – this quirkily located Indian comes heartily recommended by a small but enthusiastic fan club.
