Roker, Fish & Seafood Restaurant Guide

“Beautifully cooked fish and really good chips” (and a good approach to dietary requirements, like “good gluten-free options served without any fuss”) help make this well-located fixture “the best in the local area”.

2023 Review: This 2021 opening is “a brilliant restaurant innovation in Tynemouth village to add to Adam Riley’s successful (and widely acclaimed) beach Fish Shack” – because “for all the hoo ha, who wants to sit on a beach with the wind whipping in from the North Sea? Better be tucked up inside, where you can have an excellent selection of small plates, often using parts of the fish (e.g. cod jaw) that are otherwise discarded”. “Dishes range from simple small plates made to order at the ground floor wet fish counter, to an outstanding 5-course themed meal in the first-floor dining room, allowing chef to showcase his creative skills using the latest catch.”
