Laurels - Whitley Bay

This is a fantastic place to visit! The food is decent, and while the drink selection is somewhat limited, the quality is great. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the comedy club upstairs is exceptional. Highly recommended!

Despite having a confirmed booking via email and verifying the opening hours on the website, the restaurant was closed when I arrived. As an 8-month-pregnant woman with limited time for tea, it really put a damper on my evening.

This charming little spot has great potential as a venue for live performances. It just needs some tender loving care, which I’m sure the owners are planning to implement. The restaurant area would greatly benefit from dimming the bright lights and incorporating more fairy lights to create a cozier atmosphere; this would also help to disguise the wear and tear that can be more noticeable under harsh lighting. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, and I genuinely hope they find success. Whitley Bay could use more diverse dining options for everyone to enjoy. It’s becoming a fantastic place to spend an evening out, steering clear of the rowdy vibe that South Parade used to have.

The restaurant features unique decor, friendly staff, and offers a pleasant dining experience.
