Owner, Gary, is an incredibly talented chef who runs this small restaurant in the centre of Whitley Bay. Delicious food, from breakfasts to taster menus specialising in using great local produce are to be founds at this special venue. One of our personal favourites. And because you bring your own wine or beer and pay a small corkage fee, it's great value for money too!
