British, Traditional Restaurants in South Shields
1. Colmans
Fish & chips restaurant in South Shields
182-186 Ocean Rd - NE33
“Lots of good competition now for top fish & seafood in the North East but for me this old favourite still hits the spot every time!” – this century-old operation (est. 1905 in a nearby hut) has gone from strength to strength over the years, adding a ‘Temple’ spin-off (see also) in recent years. Those in the NE postcodes say “it never disappoints, although it’s a bit further away from our local”.
2. Longsands Fish Kitchen
British, Traditional restaurant in Tynemouth
27 Front Street - NE30
This “excellent takeaway on Tynemouth’s busy Front Street” – with “adjacent restaurant also popular with locals for its extended menu” of “attractively presented, super-fresh seafood” – was founded 10 years ago by Simon Walsh, a chef with a background in fine-dining. Top Tip – “expect queues at weekends”.
3. The Broad Chare
British, Traditional restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne
25 Broad Chare - NE1
“On a great location just off the Quayside”, this is “not really a traditional pub, but with Terry Laybourne at the helm you can be assured of the highest standards of both food and beer”. “They promise ‘honest, home-cooked food like pubs used to serve’ (well, none of the pubs I used to go to served food as good or as varied as this!)”. It’s also “perfect for the Live Theatre next door” (which it helps to fund). Top Menu Tip – “get a selection of the pub snacks (which should include the Lindisfarne oysters) to share: it’s like having special pub-themed tapas”.
4. Blackfriars Restaurant
British, Traditional restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne
Friars St - NE1
A “lovely building” – a 13th-century former Dominican friary that’s among the oldest dining rooms in the kingdom, and also includes a cookery school – adds considerably to the lure of this long-running and “very reliable” restaurant. It’s a multi-tasking spot that will take you from breakfast through to an evening meal, all based on “good locally sourced produce” from fish to game. Further boons are the “helpful staff” and (in clement months) courtyard garden.
