About This Pub

You know, when I think about Bazil, it just brings a smile to my face – it's one of those hidden gems in Whitley Bay that feels like a proper local favourite. From the reviews, the food is spot on; folks are raving about the steaks cooked to perfection, those homemade chunky chips that aren't the frozen sort, and even little touches like fresh veggies and a tasty brownie for dessert. The service stands out too – it's all about that warm welcome and attentive staff who make every visit feel special, whether it's your first time or your fourth. With a solid 4.5 rating, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a good time. On the flip side, it's a shame there's no website, so you might have to wing it a bit when planning a trip, and since it's not claimed online, it could do with a bit more polish to really shine. All in all, if you're after a relaxed spot for a meal and a drink, I'd say give Bazil a go – it's got that homely vibe that'll make you want to return soon.

I wholeheartedly recommend Basil in Whitley Bay for anyone looking for a warm welcome, excellent food, and great value. Here’s why: • Outstanding Service From booking through to the final goodbye, the team—especially Stephanie—made us feel genuinely cared for. She greeted us with a smile, guided us through the menu, and even steered us to the perfect dessert. • Delicious, Well‑Presented Starters Our starters arrived beautifully plated and perfectly seasoned, setting the tone for the meal to come. • Perfectly Cooked, Locally Sourced Steaks We ordered a medium‑rare ribeye and sirloin, each accompanied by tasty sides. Both steaks were tender, juicy, and clearly sourced from local farms—a real bonus for supporting the community. • Irresistible Dessert Stephanie’s recommendation of the Belgian waffle with chocolate sauce and ice cream was spot on. It was the ideal sweet finish: crisp, rich, and utterly satisfying. • Great Atmosphere & Value The restaurant feels friendly and relaxed, and prices are very reasonable—no wonder we met regulars at the metro station who return every month! Whether you’ve got a Groupon voucher or simply fancy a reliably excellent meal out, Basil is a perfect choice. We’ll definitely be back!

Food is second to none. Delicious. Staff, even though only one person was lovely and friendly. Didn't meet the chef. He's the manager and wouldn't disclose where he gets his steaks from, haha. Tried my best to find out as they were beautiful. Vegetables cooked to perfection. If there was any criticism, it would be the lack of decorative items in the restaurant and needs softer lighting. Could just do with a few plants as it looked a bit bare. I'm not putting this place down at all, though. Food is the most important and highly recommended and worth a visit.
