The food was served tasty, freshly prepared & hot. Friendly staff & a nicely presented cafe. There is a loyalty card for free drinks when you've purchased the required number of drinks. You can sit outside when the weather is suitable. There are great views looking out over the bay. There is adequate parking around the cafe.

Level access suitable for manual and electric wheelchairs (I brought one of each!). Having entered my car reg on the tablet at the Please Wait Here sign, we were met with a friendly smile attached to a very courteous and welcoming member of staff. They carefully considered the needs of both wheelchair users and offered a choice of appropriate tables. The haddock, scampi, and (vegetarian) panini arrived quicker than expected, and all three were prepared perfectly. While eating, I had a look around to count the number of signs that reminded customers to enter their car registrations to qualify for free parking for the rest of the day - they are really hard to miss! So it looks like management have really made the effort to communicate this to customers to save getting caught out after the 30 min grace period.
I made a round trip of 200 miles to pick up my Dad to take him here - he really enjoyed this day out, thanks all 😊- Parking
- Don't forget to enter your reg inside the care!

- No queues if you go mid-week and still better than further down the road at Seaton Carew. Worth a look in.

What a hidden gem! Perfect for a post walk cup of coffee and a tea cake ;) You can park right outside which is a huge plus and if the weather is fine you can sit outside right by the ocean. Does it get any better?! Also you get some pretty cute visitors to your table who may not be welcomed by all but are huge plus in my eyes.

Nice place to eat I got the fish and chips and they were fantastic. My partner got the fish and chips afternoon tea. Only thing I say was wrong was the bread and butter, it was too thick. I'm a chip butty maker and it was useless for making butties.

Went here for the first time with friends we all had the fish n chip deal which came with tea or coffee, mushy peas, curry sauce or Gravy & bread & butter. The fish was thick & white inside a lovely crispy batter. We were lucky enough to sit outside as weather was good. There’s a good selection on the menu of other meals & an ice cream booth inside. Staff very friendly & polite. Toilets exceptionally clean. Overall a very nice place, will definitely be back.- Service

Customer updates
I called in for fish and chips and parked in front of this sign. "Parking is free for customers only." OK, great, I'm a customer, no problem. So I bought fish and chips for myself and my grandson. Ate them at the table in front of the shop and came home. Two days later, I received a demand for a £100 parking charge for being in the car park for more than 30 mins. Apparently, I should have gotten a permit from the fish shop. I didn't read that little sign on the lamp post. The print is so small I may not have been able to even if I'd tried. The free parking for customers sign did it for me. I've since been back to discover what I have missed. There is an iPad on the counter with a typed message next to it saying that if you're going to be in the car park for more than 30 mins, you should enter your car reg into the tablet. I didn't see this, I assume, as the shop was very busy, it was obscured by customers at the counter in front of me. None of the staff pointed out it was necessary. I paid by card, so I could prove I was a customer. Had I paid in cash, I would have been stung, £76.50 or £116.50 for our meal, depending on how quickly I coughed up. I've paid them £36.50 just to make it go away, but I will be taking it up with the ombudsman So it looks like I was a good catch for their little parking business. Be careful, people. There are thieves out there; sometimes where you least expect them to be.
