Eating out...

There’s an abundance of intimate and friendly restaurants offering Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Mediterranean cuisine and great pub grub all within walking distance of the Melrose. For something a bit upmarket pay a visit to Bays Bistro who describe their cuisine as ‘modern british with a global twist’ or Bazil brasserie just around the corner.

At the top of the street is Grape's Cafe who provide a great traditional home cooked menu, popular with contractors, locals and visitors..

With an abundance of coffee shops and take-aways too, you certainly won’t go hungry in Whitley Bay. Click here for a list (written as a Microsoft Word document) of local restaurants

If you want to go a little further afield then Newcastle has everything you’d expect from the North East’s second largest City. Visit our very own ‘China Town’ in Stowell Street or choose from an abundance of different atmospheres and cuisine.
