Hinnies Restaurant in North Tyneside

Superbly executed classics … a good few notches above their competitors

5 of us visited for the first time today 18th dec. We had a mixture of meals from the Christmas menu, everything was perfect, the restaurant has a lovely cosy feel and we all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon, we will definitely visit again.

Absolutely Faultless. Staff so friendly and attentive , Food was superb .

Could not fault this restaurant Food & service were excellent My only criticism would be a bit too much gravy on my plate for my liking so next time I will ask for small jug

Best Christmas dinner in a restaurant Everyone in our group found the food delicious from the gravy, the veg and the meat. Couldn’t fault it. The wine pairing was also a nice touch. Had to ask for cranberry sauce. Atmosphere was a lovely buzz

Great food, service and ambinece , high end food in an relaxed and unfussy ambience.

Fantastic evening. Service was brilliant catering for gluten free. Will definitely be going here again.

Excellent food. Great friendly service. An enjoyable experience.

A very nice looking restaurant that's great value for the quality of food you get. Portion size is just right to be able to enjoy a full 3 course meal without feeling stuffed nor wanting more. I noticed the dessert I had (creme brullee) had less sugar making a it more palatable than the overly- sweet versions elsewhere. A regular favourite of mine .

Always lovely food and fantastic service Lovely Christmas set menu Tables set with Santa hats and Christmas pudding fudge a with the value for money bill

Went for a Christmas lunch with group of 9. Staff very friendly, food was all tasty with good sized portions and at an excellent price. Would highly recommend.

Terrific evening. Superb food and fun , attentive service. Highly recommend !

Excellent food and service. Lively evening. Will definitely come again.

Excellent food which we preordered as we were in a big party. We were easily able to add extra starters on when we arrived. very helpful and friendly staff . Even ordered us a taxi in the storm. We will definitely be back

Always good food here freshly cooked and not a microwave meal My family from the south love it The waitress was friendly and competent

Been to Hinnies for breakfast on a number of occasions. Always happy with the quality of food, service and staff.

Lovely meal and great service, as always. And an excellent Cosmo !

A very cozy restaurant with a nice decor and friendly staff. Great food with generous portion. Would recommend the fish dishes in particular. Will visit again.

overall really enjoyable experience, every dish was beautiful and clean plates left by all. fantastic value for money and exceptional service. great food in a relaxed setting, can't fault it

First time we have been to Hinnys,the food was brilliant the atmosphere was great and the staff were great ,will definitely go again

Lovely as always Staff friendly, efficient and professional Sunday lunch was yummy

Consistently good food and friendly service. Really enjoyed the Sunday Roast menu

great experience -food was fabulous! First time her, but will definitely be back!!

Lovely vegetarian Sunday roast. Need more vegetarian options though!

Went for Sunday brunch today. Absolutely delicious food. Service efficient and friendly. This may become a habit!

Good size menu, we chose tge 3 courses which was very nice. Portion sizes could have been a little bit bigger for me which is why I had 3 courses. Drinks were quite expensive. Service was very good, staff really friendly. Would go back

We had a lovely meal, with fabulous staff in a gorgeous restaurant- thank you!

Warm welcome and relaxed environment, good food and service

Onion soup lacked flavour in the stock. Chicken dinner was very salty

Fantastic Sunday lunch for all the family…highly recommended.

Fantastic 3 course lunch as always and first class service!

All four of us were very happy with our choices from the set menu and there was a lovely card and complimentary birthday drink for me.

Great food, excellent friendly service and really good value for money!

Another lovely meal at Hinnies. We were celebrating mine and my husband’s birthdays and received an unexpected glass of complimentary fizz on arrival. Excellent value £29 for the evening menu. All three courses were delicious. The service was friendly and attentive.

Ages since I've been to Hinnies. The lunch special is very good value. The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and polite.

Good food in a busy restaurant regularly turning tables on a Sunday dinner time. Surroundings could have been cleaner and disappointing in a good quality restaurant to have several dogs around us (sorry).

Went for Sunday lunch, set menu. Lots of choice. Quality of food was really high and service was excellent.

Food, service and surroundings excellent - plus the huge plus they allow dogs! 🥳

Expensive for the little amount you get. We paid £5 for a side of chips that had no more than 10 overcooked chips that tasted greasy. Drinks are extortionate and while I was giving the girl my order off the menu, the lady just placed our drinks on top of my menu while I was reading from it which I thought was extremely rude, and she didn’t even apologise. Will not return.

Great food, with a North East theme. Best compliment I can pay is to say: "It was canny".

Excellent, as always! Eaten here many times - actions speak louder than words. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Just love this place! Good food, great service, and a very relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely food, great Sunday roast! Cozy venue by the sea.

We have eaten Sunday lunch here on more than one occasion and often recommend Hinnies to friends. However, today was well below par with items on the plate cold or luke warm. Very disappointing. We can no longer recommend. ☹️

Relaxed welcoming restaurant. Dietary and allergy requirements incredibly well accommodated. Excellent food, with the anticipated local slant. 100% recommended

Absolutely amazing food, good menu choices and service and establishment were excellent. Definitely recommend and will be going back

Very welcoming team, decor and ambiance of the restaurant was good. Menu choice and value for money was spot on. We opted for the set menu, food was served hot and we didn't feel rushed. Food quality and portion size was perfect. Visited on a Tuesday evening and the place was almost full, so very popular. Would highly recommend to others, if we are in the area again yes we would definitely chose to eat here .

Food here was absolutely delicious, starter and main were served promptly and piping hot, dessert did take quite a lot longer to come and we all felt sticky toffee pudding was overdone which is why it wasn’t 5 stars Would definitely recommend though and would definitely return

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Very enjoyable lunch. Very friendly and efficient staff.

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.

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.

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.

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.
