Hinnies Restaurant in North Tyneside

Excellent service and good food. We enjoyed the atmosphere and limited but interesting menu

A great lunchtime offering with matched wines. I could go back a number of times and try the options that I missed

Staff were helpful and friendly. Fishcake starter nice and chicken main nice, quite salty gravy but tasty. Fish nice for main but chips were awful, dry not fresh.

Food was a bit cold today, potatoes where also I bit hard 🥴

Wonderful food and service. Quirky sea front setting and casual atmosphere belies the quality of the NE inspired menu. Definitely be returning.

Lovely food, atmos and good priced. Staff were lovely too

Restaurant Week menu was fab Love this restaurant Chick pea chips were a first - loved it all

Wonderful food. We have been many times. Highly recommend this lovely eatery.

We visited for restaurant week and Hinnies was busy but not that you’d have known from the warm greeting we received. Service was prompt and efficient throughout, although the wine pairings could have been explained better. All in all a lovely evening, thank you

Great food. It was very busy so had to wait for a while and the tables were quite close together. Overall very enjoyable

The food was delicious with an excellent choice and was well presented. The table service was attentive and prompt. The only issue was we were rushed out. This was probably because it was Friday night and exceptionally busy due to the special off of restaurant week.

Well chosen combinations of food, expertly cooked, served with a smile. A good busy feel to the restaurant, despite early evening. Consistently high standards here, highly recommended

Always a joy coming here! A very relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff, and its menu is great a value.

Superb food. Excellent value for money and great service from excellent staff

As usual the staff were friendly and attentive. Food was of their usual high standard. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant

Lovely local restaurant, great food, attentive staff and great value.

Excellent service, non intrusive staff but when needed straight over to the table. Very relaxing atmosphere, refreshing. Food was lovely, fresh and tasty. Delightful evening, a small niggle is that some of the seating is a bit cramped , didn’t spoil the whole experience though !

Excellent Sunday lunch, great wine pairings, dog friendly and great service.

We had a lovely Sunday dinner with family. Food was good. Could have had bit more vegetables and prefer roast potatoes well done but otherwise very nice. Service was excellent. We had a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely restaurant that had a really great atmosphere. Would recommend

Fantastic lunch for 4 people and a baby. My parents got lost en route so ended up being over half hour late by time we ordered. Was no problem and the food was delicious. Will be back for sure

Lovely comfort food and nice choices for vegetarians. Walk, if you can to the restaurant. Service was great- you may have to wait a little while but it’s worth it for very fresh food. Would recommend.

Great choice of food, excellent taste, spot on service, would definitely return again & thoroughly recommend Hinnies

Very good the sauce served with pork was on salty side

A great Whitley Bay restaurant for good food. Always great choices. Friendly and helpful staff, knowledgeable of the menu. My house Chardonnay type house wine was a little disappointing. Hubby said could have done with a little more black pudding+ seasoning in his 'Black Pudding and Tattie' starter. Doesn't put us off. We mentioned it - they were courteous - we'll still return. Dessert - oops nearly forgot to take photo it was so scrummy. A well run, well organised, comfortable space to enjoy great food. Fabulously priced set menu.

Easy to navigate website. Good choice on autumn menu selection and small eater appetite catered for with 2 starters and a sweet for one of our party. Tasty food and well presented, attentive staff.

Well Hinney u divnt need to worry bout a thing its grand! What a hidden treasure. We were off to the playhouse which was just a 5min walk away. The booking was straightforward through the app. The staff were amazing friendly and attentive. They had a chart telling you which meal had various intolerances which was fantastic. The food was amazingly presented and tasted Fantastic 😋. We had the soup and black pudding both were presented well and tasted great! I still cannot get my poached eggs like theirs?? For mains Pan Hagety and Pan fried chicken again presentation and taste was great. So we had to finish off with desert! Pear tart with ice cream and sticking toffe pudding amazing! We will be back definitely!

Very pleasant staff who that were helpful and welcoming. Overall the food was average at best. The black pudding starter was particularly poor, virtually no black pudding just potato’s and baked beans in breadcrumbs, not good at all. The meal portion sizes was also poor.

Very good food. Very pleasant restaurant. Good service. Only happened to be in the area for a few days and found Hinnies by good fortune. Would undoubtedly revisit if ever in the area again.

Excellent menu, first class fish cookery, exemplary service & the complimentary glass of fizz for our anniversary was much appreciated, only complaint was the prices of the wine which is why we didn’t order any

Beautiful restaurant, staff were so lovely, food and wine were fab, even the toilets are gorgeous, would definitely recommend a lush place.

Lovely food and great service! It was my partners birthday and the staff noticed it on the reservation and gave him a glass of fizz

The set menu is extremely good value, can't fault this evening at all.

Great restaurant, I need to make sure I come back more often!

What a brilliant place. Great food at a good price, and extremely friendly and professional staff. Perfect.

Reserved a table prior to visiting the theatre. The menu was a set menu, with a set price for either two or three courses. We both chose fish dishes for starter and main courses. All dishes were well presented and flavoursome. I did raise the fact that the potato gratin served with my fish, was barely warm. This was acknowledged on the Bill at the end of the evening. We ordered a half litre of Shiraz, which was served at a good temperature and was very palatable. The service was efficient and pleasant. As it was very early evening, initially it was very quiet, however as we were leaving the restaurant was becoming busier. We will return, however, I do think there should be an option to order single main course dishes as not everyone can manage two courses.

Wonderful food in a friendly atmosphere, staff very welcoming. Great experience every time we’ve been.

To be fair, it has been pretty much the same front of house team here for years so they're doing something right on terms of conditions. That said, for a small place the service can be erratic. I've never visited where I haven't had to get up and ask for something. My most recent visit ended up with a double drinks charge because I paid my wife's bill, then left and they charged hr again.

Lovely tasting food but found the portion sizes very small.

Lovely Sunday lunch, served by very nice staff. Would visit again.

Great welcome, super service, delicious food and great decor. Highly recommended!

What a great place this is. We found the service very friendly, the decor nice and modern, the dishes DELICIOUS!!! And the price so reasonable. Brilliant! If I'm in the area again, I'll be making a point to visit again.

Ate here midweek. The restaurant has a set menu of two or three courses. The menu offers a pretty good range of options from fish to vegetarian to meat. The food arrived well cooked. The starters could have done with some bread or toast. For example the whipped cheese starter was nice but too much to eat by itself. Service was friendly.

Very enjoyable lunch. Very friendly and efficient staff.

Never Disappoints. Food, service, and environment all great.

Fantastic lunch yesterday at Hinnies. Amazing food and great choice on seat menu which was great value for quality of the food. A young lady called Marnie served us and she was so lovely,attentive and helpful with menu choice. First time I’ve visited for a long while but will definitely be back!

Lovely food, excellent service and great value. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Was really looking forward to visiting, having heard good things, but somewhat disappointed in the reality. Food was not anything special. Small portions. The local fish dish was dry and unappealing and unattractively presented. Took some relatives for a special occasion and felt a little embarrassed that it didn’t live up to expectations.

Its always a joy to visit Hinnies. We always know that the food will be excellent and the service polite, friendly and courteous. We are happy to return as many times as we can. Thank you.

The fixed price menu is good value and varied. A good wine list. a selection of cocktails and mocktails. Sea views.

Delicious food - good range on menu. Great service. Friendly and welcoming.

We’ve been here a few times but unfortunately we won’t be back. Young girl waiting on our table attempted to give our staters to 2 tables before us. Our table was so so close to the other diners we could hear their every word. Food ok, not as good as usual. They had a busy 70th birthday party in. Unfortunately because of this I believe the service and food wasn’t up to scratch. A shame as we have been here many times and it’s a firm favourite when we visit the north east.

Another fantastic evening at hinnies. Been several times now and the food is always delicious, staff are always very friendly and helpful, waiting time during courses is minimal. Cozy little restaurant and would always recommend it to others. Lovely little local on the seafront 😁

Food not great and we were extremely rushed through our courses.

Nice experience, Really friendly staff Slightly overpriced but it is right by the sea... Be careful with children's meals as our daughter was given an extremely hot plate without warning.

Excellent three courses, couldn’t fault it in anyway! Service very good too. Loved the chowder.

Lovely local cuisine! I was really pleased to have been able to try local dishes upon my visit to Newcastle.

Excellent meal, service and value. Highly recommended

Friendly and efficient staff. A varied and interesting restaurant with a decent veggy selection. The locally caught hake was great.

3rd time dining here. Always good. Looking forward to the Christmas menu!

First time at the restaurant, the service was really good, nice happy staff. Smiles all round. Very helpful. The Sunday dinner was best I’ve had in a long time. The restaurant itself was very nice and cozy, was busy and was still very ambient. Looking forward to my next time to visit with the family

The adult 3 course lunch was nice and reasonably priced. Steak was very tasty however i thought the childrens 3 course meal was very poor and overpriced. Our 2 boys aged 10 and 13 had the Stottie Pizza and were not impressed. The pizza was very small not very much topping and just came with a tiny amount of salad we had to give them some of our chips to satisfy them

Fabulous two course meal featuring fresh caught cod with chick pea chips, lemon sole and a local treat called Hinnies. Reasonable prices for beer and wine and all in a lovely small restaurant.

Would highly recommend, lovely food and great service

The meal was good overall but I did ask the waitress if she could write the main and dessert to follow and she refused to do it and didn't come back for another 15 minutes after mains to take the dessert order.

Had an amazing Sunday Lunch here, really really tasty!

Everything great as usual. Special mention for the black pudding scotch egg and the halibut. Beautiful food, beautifully cooked. The guy who served us couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and the courses were served with just the right time in between. A top notch dining experience. Top marks.

We had a lovely evening at Hinnies for our anniversary. We were offered free fizz on being seated. All the staff were attentive and friendly, especially the young lady we had looking after us through out. The food was delicious and it was great to see the restaurant so busy on a Tuesday night, there was an ambient atmosphere.

Sunday lunch was lovely but a bit overpriced at £19. When we compared plates, two had items missing but this was rectified when we pointed it out. Nice veggie/vegan options. Would still recommend.

Always gorgeous food and fabulous service Stunning Sunday lunch Thank you

Such a great evening with friends , great choice on the menu and every dish was first class. 3 courses for £29 and decent wine , all brilliant value for money. Service with a smile , very very good

Excellent friendly service, however both steaks were far too chewy, as if they'd been put in the pan while still chilled, which made them difficult to eat. Starters and desserts both excellent.

Great service, really good food. View out over the coast. Staff attentive & knowledgeable.

beautiful food, service, it was my birthday and they gave me a card and glass bubbly which was a lovely touch. Good value, exceptional quality will go again.

What a great find. We were passing through and were looking for a nice fish restaurant, and Hinnies did not disappoint. The Chowder and Mackerel starters were delicious, followed by the catch of the day and some amazing cheese cake ( best I had for a long time). Great service by only two fast and friendly guys, and the restaurant was full with a buzzing atmosphere. A great local gem for sure.

Lovey restaurant service was excellent food was nice gravy on roast was bland not like a good meaty jus. Small portion of soup No bread offered with the soup. Would visit again but would not have the Sunday lunch

Service first class. Lovely ambience and food was very nice. Great value for money.

Great staff - really friendly and efficient. Lovey food and good value. Would definitely recommend.

First time in Hinnies, made very welcome and dog friendly to. Lovely staff very attentive. Whole experience Lovely and clean environment to eat out at, will definitely go back. Geordie stotties were very morish.

My new favourite restaurant in Whitley Bay. Great food and service. Thank you!

The mackerel and aubergine starter was a little bland the aubergine especially lacked any oomph! I had the main fish of the day - cod , which was was lovely well cooked. The pudding (choc mousse) was delicious , probably the best bit! I’ve given a lower score for the sides mainly, the triple cooked chips were disappointing, really dry and tasteless and did in fact feel and taste like they’d been triple cooked they were so dehydrated. The seasonal veg was a very meagre portion of shredded cabbage and a couple of artichoke hearts and a scrap of sundried tomato , nice but not enough for the cost it was barely enough for a spoonful each. I think if the sides had been a better quality I’d have score it al higher because the service was very good , friendly and apologetic when things were overlooked or took a while. And I do think £29 is good for three courses with the current state of the economy it’s hard to find somewhere that does good quality reasonably priced food. It’s a shame Hinnies was let down by the side dishes , it’s not my first visit here and last time they were better so maybe just an off night.

Family of 4 visited for Sunday lunch recently. It’s a little bit pricey which is fine if you receive quality food. I had beef dinner which was incredibly fatty and difficult to eat. Some of the veg was overdone too. My son ordered from the children’s menu and we received the wrong order initially which was corrected with the chicken he should have received but this was cold. Got to desserts and this was also incorrect. Disappointed overall and don’t think we’d visit again. Just doesn’t represent good value or a premium experience despite being a little expensive for Sunday lunch.

Absolutely class outfit 👍. Food is excellent, ambience has a lovely vibe and great value too. At only £24 for a 2 course set menu on a Saturday evening, you’d have to go a long way to get better value.

Always a delight! Took my brother and wife to celebrate his birthday. Great food and lovely service.

Lovely restaurant !! We had the best meal with the new set menu the staff did eveything and more for us, and even gave our dog water !! The food was amazing and the service was as good.

Good food & nice ambience with friendly staff. I always like coming here.

We were travelling through the area and wanted to have seafood near the sea, so we booked Hinnies and were not disappointed. The athmosphere, food and service were impressive and we thoughroughly enjoyed the dinner.

Yet another great meal. The seasonally changing menu and in particular the fish dishes are imaginative and delicious will definitely be back again

We had a lovely 3 course lunch at Hinnies on 25th March. For the quality of food £29 per person is incredible value and we will definitely return. The service was also spot on.

Good food , friendly staff , nice relaxing feel to the place

Excellent lunch for 6 of us. All thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Looked after very well. Conscientious without being pushy. Will return. Nicholas Gale

Good food and very efficient service. In a great position overlooking the beach.

We had a pleasant lunch at Hinnies they were doing two courses for £20 I had the scotch egg in black pudding starter and steak with twice cooked fat chips My wife had goats cheese with walnuts to start and Breast of chicken for mains The service was attentive and efficient by pleasant staff It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon and we will return

Great Birthday celebration, food fantastic enjoyed by all.

Hinnies was great. Excellent service and food. Enjoyed it

Always a lovely atmosphere even though it was busy for Father’s Day Beautiful Sunday roast I had loin of pork and it was deliciously moist with some crackling on Booked again for 6 of us next week Kids, dogs and attentive staff make it a very welcoming and relaxing space Excellent 👌

First time visiting and it won’t be our last. Good food, well presented and good value.

I had belly pork chop and whitebait which was excellent snd my fellow diners had the chowder and mixed grill of fish which they also thoroughly enjoyed

Went to Hinnies with a friend this week. The food was lovely, So much variety and things to try it took us ages to decide. i had the fish cake and the Chicken it was perfectly cooked, nicely presented and very very tasty.. We had to follow up with Sticky toffee pudding. Wow!!! the service was good but a bit rushed at times. Also the portion size was great for me but maybe small for others. All In all a lovely lunch and I will definately be back x
