Pranzo Trattoria & Deli

Verified

97/100
Pranzo Trattoria & Deli is a charming Italian gem in Whitley Bay, serving up tasty authentic cuisine with a warm, welcoming feel, though it's wise to plan ahead for a spot.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with standout pizzas, pasta, and sandwiches that have people raving and coming back for more.
  • Friendly staff and quick service create a really welcoming atmosphere, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's a relaxed, family-friendly spot with a great vibe, ideal for casual catch-ups over some proper Italian grub.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of Italian wines, sourced straight from the vineyards, which pair beautifully with the meals.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the starters can be a bit on the small side, so you might find yourself wanting a little more to tide you over.
  • The pasta dishes aren't always as saucy as you'd expect, which could leave you wishing for that extra bit of flavour punch.
  • It's super popular, so you'll need to book ahead to snag a table and avoid any disappointment on the night.
  • With limited opening hours – closed a few days a week – it might not be available whenever the fancy takes you.

The Roxburgh is a real hidden gem in Whitley Bay, dishing up exquisite fine dining in a cosy, relaxed setting that's all about treating yourself to something special.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely top-notch, with fresh, high-quality ingredients like North Yorkshire lamb and hand-dived scallops that make every bite feel special and memorable.
  • The service is warm and attentive, with staff who really know their stuff and add to the relaxed, cosy atmosphere – perfect for a special night out.
  • They've got a cracking tasting menu that's full of surprises, especially with those wine pairings that offer great value and enhance the whole experience.
  • The setting is just lovely, a small bistro-style spot that's intimate and welcoming, making it ideal for celebrations or a treat with friends or family.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a tad pricey, especially for the wine, which might not quite live up to the cost for some, so it's worth budgeting carefully.
  • The lack of menu cards means you might have to ask for explanations on the dishes, which could be a bit frustrating if you're not in the mood to quiz the staff.
  • With limited opening times – just Friday, Saturday, and sometimes Sunday – it can be tricky to pop in spontaneously, so planning ahead is a must.

  • It's got a lovely, eclectic atmosphere with an arts showcase and changing exhibitions, making it a unique spot for a night out.

  • There's a charming little courtyard out the back, which would be perfect for enjoying a drink on a sunny afternoon.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially on Saturdays, so you might find yourself waiting a bit for a drink or a seat.

Zamorins is a delightful South Indian restaurant in Whitley Bay, serving up fantastic flavours and warm service that leaves you wanting more.

  • Tucked away in Whitley Bay, it might be a bit of a journey if you're not in the area, potentially putting off those further afield.

High Tide is a charming spot in Cullercoats with cracking food and fabulous views, though its limited opening times might catch you out.
Pros and Cons

The Left Luggage Room is a delightful little craft beer haven tucked away in Monkseaton station – it's got a warm, welcoming vibe and some cracking beers that make it a must-visit for a relaxed pint with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of craft beers is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of local brews that really hit the spot for anyone who appreciates a good pint.
  • The staff are so friendly and know their stuff – they're always up for a chat and happy to recommend something new, making you feel right at home.
  • That outdoor seating area is a real treat, especially on a sunny evening; it's sheltered, away from the hustle, and perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • The atmosphere is wonderfully quirky and unique, set in a historic old luggage room at the station – it's all about great conversation without any distractions.
  • Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality on offer, so you can enjoy a top-notch drink without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • It sticks to craft beers and finer spirits, so if you're after something mainstream like a cheap lager, you might be out of luck.
  • There's no telly around, which means it's not the place to pop in for a match – more for those cosy chats than big-screen action.
  • Being right by the metro station, you might hear the odd train rumbling through, which could disrupt the peace every now and then.
  • The focus is quite niche on specialist drinks, so it might not appeal as much if you're not particularly into craft beer or want a broader menu.

  • Location is ace – easy parking right outside and just a short walk from the Monkseaton Metro, so it's super convenient to pop in after a day out.
  • With a stellar 4.7 rating from plenty of happy visitors, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a top-notch experience for beer enthusiasts.
Areas for Improvement
  • It only opens from 2 PM, which might be a bit late if you're hoping for a lunchtime pint or an early start to your evening.
  • They're not open every day of the week, so you'll have to plan around that if you're keen on a mid-week visit.
  • The online presence is a tad limited – it's mostly on Facebook, and I had a spot of bother accessing more details, which could make it tricky to check things out in advance.
  • As a tap house, it seems focused on drinks rather than food, so if you're after a full meal, you might need to head elsewhere afterwards.

  • Experiences aren't always consistent; one visit might be fantastic, but the next could fall short, which is a shame for a special occasion.

  • The operating hours can seem a bit inconsistent or variable, so it's wise to check in advance to avoid disappointment.
  • It focuses heavily on strong and unique beers, which might be a bit much if you're after something lighter or more mainstream.
  • As a smaller venue with only a moderate number of reviews, it might not be as buzzing or well-known, so it could feel quiet at times.

The Dog And Rabbit is a charming micro pub in Whitley Bay with a fantastic beer range and a relaxed, friendly vibe, though you'll need to plan around the parking and opening times.

The Rockcliffe Arms

4.6(448 reviews)
92/100
The Rockcliffe Arms is a proper gem of a traditional pub in Whitley Bay – think welcoming vibes, solid beers, and a relaxed spot for watching the footie, all at great value.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that authentic, traditional pub vibe that makes you feel right at home, with a cosy setup and plenty of old trophies and photos to admire.
  • The beers are well-kept and reasonably priced, making it a brilliant spot for a casual pint without breaking the bank.
  • Friendly staff and welcoming locals create a great atmosphere, especially if you're popping in for a chat or to catch some Sky Sports on the screens.
  • They've got unique touches like homemade jams available – just remember to book them in advance for a lovely little extra.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might feel a bit basic with just the one bar and not much in the way of food options, so if you're after a full meal, you could be out of luck.
  • Things can be quiet at off-peak times, like a Monday evening, which is fine for a peaceful drink but might not suit if you're after a lively buzz.
  • Without a website or much online presence, it's tricky to check details ahead of time, so you might end up winging it when you visit.

The Boatyard Brunch Café is a charming seaside spot with cracking food and a warm welcome, though it has its moments with service speed.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – fresh, locally sourced ingredients make for delicious brunches and treats, with plenty of vegan options to suit everyone.
  • The staff are so welcoming and friendly, offering that proper Geordie hospitality that makes you feel right at home.
  • It's in a cracking spot on the Cullercoats seafront, perfect for a relaxed outing with a sea view, and it's dog-friendly too, which is a real bonus for us animal lovers.
  • They've got a great selection of drinks, from top-notch coffee and teas to local beers and cocktails, all served with a smile.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and laid-back, ideal for a casual catch-up or a quick bite after a walk along the bay.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can sometimes be a tad slow, especially when it's busy, which might leave you waiting a bit longer than you'd like.
  • There have been a few mentions of food not always being cooked just right, like overcooked eggs or reheated dishes that could do with a fresh touch.
  • It's walk-ins only, so you might not get a table straight away if it's popular, which can be a bit of a faff on peak days.

Takdir is a charming Indian kitchen and cocktail bar in Whitley Bay that's all about tasty, flavour-packed meals and a welcoming vibe – a real gem for a relaxed evening with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely bursting with flavour – think delicious Indian curries and grills that leave you wanting more, all at a reasonable price.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home, like you're chatting with old mates over a meal.
  • It's got a lovely relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a casual evening out, with mouth-watering cocktails to boot.
  • Great value for money, especially with options like the banquet menu that's packed with variety and quantity.
  • Prime spot on the Whitley Bay seafront, so you can enjoy a scenic view after a breezy walk along the coast.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit slow at times, like when waiting for the mains to arrive, which might put a damper on a quick night out.
  • Parking is limited around the area, so you might end up with a bit of a walk if you're driving.
  • It's only open in the evenings, which is a shame if you're hoping for a lunch spot or a spontaneous daytime visit.

  • It's got these breathtaking sea views right on the Whitley Bay seafront, making every meal feel like a little escape, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.

  • Portions are generous and the prices are fair for the quality, so you get great value without breaking the bank.
  • It's open seven days a week with a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for everything from a casual lunch to a special dinner.
Areas for Improvement
  • The current status seems a bit unclear – it says it's closed, but the schedule shows it's operating, so it might be worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any disappointment.
  • If you're after a traditional pub feel with pints and pub grub, this is more of a restaurant vibe focused on Turkish cuisine, so it might not suit everyone.
  • It can get busy, especially with those stunning views, which means you might need to book ahead and could face a wait if you don't.

Spanish City in Whitley Bay is a charming, historic gem that's perfect for a delightful meal and a bit of nostalgia, though it does get lively and might not suit late-night plans.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The architecture is absolutely stunning—it's this beautiful white dome that's a real treat to see, both inside and out, with those grand arches and expansive seating areas that make you feel like you're in a piece of history.
  • The food is top-notch, especially the fish and chips, which have won awards and are just delicious; plenty of portions and great value for the surroundings, perfect for a hearty meal after a walk along the promenade.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always attentive and polite, which really makes the visit enjoyable and welcoming.
  • It's a fantastic spot for special occasions, like anniversaries or weddings, with a buzzing atmosphere and options for afternoon tea or events that leave you feeling celebrated.
  • The place is spotlessly clean and offers lovely views, making it a great all-rounder for a relaxed day out in Whitley Bay.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially on bank holidays or weekends, which might mean waits for tables or a more crowded feel that takes away from the relaxed vibe.
  • With moderate pricing, it might feel a bit steep for everyday visits, particularly if you're just popping in for a quick drink or bite.
  • The operating hours vary and often wrap up earlier in the day, around 4 PM typically, so it's not ideal if you're after a late-night spot for drinks or evening entertainment.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – from tasty breakfasts like the Hash bowl with chorizo and halloumi to delicious tapas and specials, it's clear they've got a knack for flavourful, well-cooked meals that leave you wanting more.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, including loads of wines, ales, whiskies, gins, and cocktails, plus great deals like four tapas and two drinks for under £30, which feels like brilliant value for a relaxed outing.
  • The atmosphere is just what you'd hope for in a local bar – laid-back and welcoming, with spacious tables and a warm vibe that makes it easy to unwind, and it's even dog-friendly, which is a real bonus if you're popping in with your furry mate.
  • Service is friendly and efficient; folks have mentioned getting a lovely welcome and being seated quickly, which adds to that homely feel.
Areas for Improvement
  • Seating can sometimes be a mismatch for groups, like if you're with little ones and end up at a high bar table instead of something more suitable, which might make things a tad uncomfortable for families.
  • Their hours for food service are a bit staggered, with breakfast wrapping up early and evening options finishing before the bar closes, so you might have to plan around that if you're aiming for a full meal.
  • While the overall rating is high, a few reviews hint at minor niggles with reservations or specifics like not getting the exact table you hoped for, which could be frustrating on busier days.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on – think hearty, home-cooked meals like delicious burgers and pizzas at really reasonable prices, with plenty of options for vegetarians and those needing gluten-free choices.
  • It's got such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates, complete with friendly staff who make you feel right at home.

  • Being a family-run spot, it has a real community feel, with extras like wheelchair access and parking making it easy for everyone to pop in.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food service wraps up a bit early, so if you're after a late-night bite, you might need to plan ahead – it's until 7:30 on weekdays and even earlier on Sundays.
  • As a local community pub, it could feel a tad quiet or less vibrant on off-peak nights if you're seeking a more lively, buzzing scene.
  • The menu, while tasty, doesn't seem to have a huge variety beyond the classics, which might not excite if you're in the mood for something a bit more adventurous.

The Fat Ox Hotel in Whitley Bay is a budget-friendly community pub with a warm, lively atmosphere and great entertainment, but it does have the odd service slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and locals are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in
  • Drinks are super affordable – it's easy to enjoy a few pints without worrying about the wallet

Areas for Improvement

Willow Bay is a charming cocktail bar in Whitley Bay that's all about good vibes, friendly faces, and lively events – a hidden gem for a fun evening.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make you feel at home – perfect for a relaxed night out.
  • They've got a brilliant atmosphere with fun events like Tuesday quizzes, bingo, salsa classes, karaoke, and open mic nights that really bring people together.
  • The cocktails are top-notch and reasonably priced, with deals like two for £13, and they've even got standout options like the Willow Blue Island that folks rave about.
  • It's a great spot for special occasions; one group had a free booking for an engagement party and had an absolute blast.
  • As a cocktail bar, it shines in Whitley Bay, offering a cosy vibe that's ideal for enjoying drinks and socialising.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a handful of reviews online, it might not be the most well-known spot, so you could miss out if you're not in the loop.
  • There's no website listed, which makes it a bit tricky to get more details or check updates before heading over.
  • The operating status seems a tad unclear right now, and with no recent reviews in the last six months, it might not be as active as you'd hope.
  • Review volume is quite low overall, so if you're after a buzzing, popular venue, this one feels more understated and niche.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot-on – think outstanding dishes like gluten-free nachos and hearty Sunday roasts that keep everyone coming back for more.
  • Staff are lovely and super attentive, making you feel right at home whether you're popping in for a quick drink or a full meal.
  • It's got a chilled, cosy vibe that's perfect for catching up with friends, and being dog-friendly means you can bring your four-legged mates along.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, and they've got a great selection that pairs nicely with the grub.
  • Family-friendly too, with options that even fussy eaters enjoy, and it's easy to get a table with walk-ins or reservations.
Areas for Improvement
  • Cocktails can be a bit on the pricey side, so you might want to keep an eye on the bill if you're splashing out.
  • The atmosphere can sometimes feel a tad quiet, especially on off-peak afternoons like a Friday, which might not suit those after a lively buzz.
  • Bottomless options aren't available every day – for instance, not on Fridays – so it's worth checking ahead if that's what you're after.

The Queens Head is a charming coastal pub with a welcoming feel, great grub most of the time, and lovely staff, but keep an eye out for the odd slip-up with the food.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a brilliant spot right by the coast, making it perfect for a sunny day out with outdoor seating to soak in the views
  • The staff are really friendly and accommodating, always up for a chat and making you feel welcome
  • The food's generally spot on, with tasty options like the Sunday roast and scotch eggs – hearty portions at a fair price
  • The place is spotlessly clean, with a nice atmosphere and even dog-friendly perks like free treats and water
  • They're planning some exciting interior redesigns, so it's got potential for even more of a lively vibe in the future
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss, like that disappointing Sunday lunch with wrong meats, frozen bits, and a strong garlic taste that doesn't suit everyone
  • It can feel a bit quiet at times, which might not hit the spot if you're after a buzzing crowd
  • Some meals haven't lived up to the hype, especially for the price, so it's worth checking what's on offer before diving in

Areas for Improvement
  • Pints can be a tad more expensive than at some other places, which might make you think twice if you're watching the pennies.
  • There might be some inconsistencies with the experience over time, as one chap mentioned things had gone downhill after a few months, though we don't have the full story.

The Three Brass Monkeys in Whitley Bay is a welcoming community pub that's been given a fresh makeover, boasting a lively atmosphere and friendly service, though the drink selection could do with a bit more polish.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing – there's always something fun going on, like a cheeky chat with the landlord or lively events that make for great memories.
  • Friendly staff who make you feel right at home; they're welcoming and add to that warm, community vibe.
  • A solid selection of drinks at really good prices, including popular brands like Guinness and Heineken, perfect for a casual catch-up.
  • It's been freshly refurbished, so the place is clean, modern, and comfortable with plenty of natural light and good wifi for those who fancy a relaxed pint.
  • Brilliant for sports fans with market-leading coverage on TNT and Sky Sports, and they host events like karaoke or live bands that keep things entertaining.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer quality can be a bit hit or miss; some have said the Guinness isn't up to scratch, which is a shame for ale enthusiasts.
  • There might be the odd hiccup with the TVs, like channels changing mid-game, which could spoil the moment during a big match.
  • With only a handful of reviews, it feels like it hasn't quite built up a massive following yet, so you might not know what to expect on a quiet night.

The Kittiwake is a charming pub in Whitley Bay that's spot on for a laid-back Sunday lunch or a casual pint, with friendly vibes and tasty food, though it can get a bit chaotic when busy.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday lunches are an absolute treat – classic favourites with a modern twist, all gluten-free, made with fresh ingredients and loads of love, perfect for a relaxed meal.
  • Friendly and welcoming service that makes you feel right at home, like popping in for a quick drink and ending up chatting away.
  • A solid selection of beers and pub grub with plenty of flavour, served on hot plates, and pints at a reasonable £4-5, which is great value.
  • It's a nice local spot with a relaxed vibe, where you can catch live sports and even have a chat with the regulars – feels community-oriented.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can be a bit tricky to find, tucked away in a housing estate, so you might end up wandering around before you spot it.
  • There have been times when it's understaffed, leading to long waits, especially during busy events like match days, which can put a damper on things.
  • One or two experiences mentioned disappointing service, like not being served promptly, so it might not always hit the mark if it's heaving.

The Sandpiper is a welcoming pub in Cullercoats with hearty grub, friendly vibes, and a lively feel, though it's not flawless when it comes to every bite.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is generally spot on, with tasty options like homemade chips and succulent mains that really hit the spot.
  • Staff are friendly and incredibly helpful, especially when you're sorting out events or gatherings with a group.
  • It has a cracking atmosphere, perfect for watching sports or just catching up with mates over well-kept beers and a good selection of ales.
  • The menu offers plenty of choice, making it a great spot for a hearty meal or a casual drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be a bit hit or miss with seasoning, like overly salty sauces that might put you off your meal.
  • Portions can be on the large side, which isn't always a good thing if it means the flavours don't quite balance out.

The Champagne Bar in Whitley Bay is a charming spot with breathtaking sea views and a cracking drink menu, ideal for relaxed meet-ups, though watch out for occasional service slip-ups.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The sea views are absolutely stunning, especially overlooking St Mary's Lighthouse – it's a real treat while sipping your drink.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of drinks, from champagnes and proseccos to cocktails and beers, making it easy to find something for everyone.
  • Live music on Saturday evenings and Sunday lunches adds a cheerful buzz, perfect for livening up a get-together with friends.
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a spacious, contemporary design that's great for casual chats or special occasions.
  • Staff are generally friendly and helpful, creating a relaxed vibe for enjoying a quick drink or a longer catch-up.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit inconsistent at times, like one experience where someone waited ages for a simple soft drink and ended up leaving frustrated.
  • Only light snacks are on offer, so if you're hoping for a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere afterwards.
  • Bookings can be tricky with limited availability, so it's wise to plan ahead rather than turning up on a whim.
  • The place seems to have a quieter vibe overall, which might not suit those after a lively, bustling night out.

  • Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome.
  • It's spacious with plenty of seating areas, so you can find a cosy spot whether you're with a group or just popping in alone.
  • Dog-friendly vibes make it a great choice if you're out with your furry friend.

Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can be a bit confusing with varying times, and it might close earlier than you'd hope for a proper night out.
  • Not much mention of food options, and one person didn't bother getting any, so it might not be the go-to place if you're after a meal.
  • The website's a bit of a letdown with access issues, which could make it tricky to check menus or events beforehand.

The Fox Hunters in North Shields is a solid, welcoming pub for enjoying good grub, catching the big games, and having a chat with friends – it's got that cosy, community feel without trying too hard.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is spot on – think tasty flame-grilled dishes like the XL mixed grill, which folks rave about for being well-cooked and reasonably priced.
  • It's a relaxed spot for catching live sports, with plenty of screens showing events like the Women's Euros or rugby tours, perfect for a lively evening with mates.
  • Family-friendly vibes with disabled access and even dog-friendly policies, so it's great for all sorts of get-togethers.
  • Convenient facilities like a car park and WiFi make it easy to pop in for a quick coffee or a full meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can feel a tad steep, especially when you're after something more than just a pint or a basic bite.
  • The menu's gone a bit generic lately, losing some of those fun food challenges that used to make it stand out.
  • While it's generally relaxed, it might not suit everyone if you're after something more unique or adventurous in a pub setting.

Beefeater Whitley Bay is a welcoming pub with stunning sea views and solid deals on grub, though the food can sometimes be a mixed bag.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The sea views are absolutely cracking, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed meal or a pint on a sunny day.
  • Staff are top-notch and really friendly, like the ones mentioned in reviews who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.
  • Great value with affordable lunch deals, such as mains under £8 from Monday to Friday – perfect for a budget-friendly bite.
  • Solid selection of British classics and a decent breakfast buffet with fresh items and cooked-to-order options.
  • Family-friendly vibe, ideal for a casual outing with the little ones, as it's spacious and accommodating.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be a bit disappointing, like the fish that's more batter than fish, or the steak sandwich that doesn't quite deliver.
  • Food quality is inconsistent – it's fine for a quick meal, but it might not always live up to the hype, as a few folks have found it just average.
  • As a chain restaurant, it lacks that unique local charm, feeling a tad generic compared to independent spots.
  • Closing times can vary, so it's worth checking in advance to avoid any surprises, especially if you're planning a late visit.

Havana in Whitley Bay is a lively bar with a welcoming vibe and fun music nights, but it's let down by occasional safety concerns and inconsistent management.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is really inviting with great decorations and a solid location right in the heart of Whitley Bay, making it easy to pop in after exploring the area.
  • Friendly staff and a fun 90s music vibe that can get you up and dancing, especially if you're in the mood for a nostalgic night out.
  • It's a budget-friendly spot, and you might snag free entry if you've got stamps from nearby places like the Brewery bar – that's a cheeky little perk!
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some worrying safety issues, like an incident in the toilets that wasn't handled properly by the team, which could put a damper on your evening.
  • Management seems a bit lacking, with complaints about noise and rowdy behaviour when they close up at 2am, disturbing folks trying to sleep nearby.
  • The music isn't what it used to be, according to some regulars, and it's only open a few nights a week, which might not suit if you're after something more regular.
