The Boardwalk in South Tyneside

An excellent Sunday roast preceded by delicious mussels as starter and followed by roly poly pudding. Outstanding value for money served with real care.

Went here for lunch yesterday as a guest of three others and therefore decided not to comment or complain about the food or service. I ordered a steak pie and a bottle of Corona beer. It took three visits to our table for staff to grasp the nature of our drinks and I was finally served with a Peroni. One of my fellow diners tried to justify this by saying that she thought the server was new. The steak pie arrived and the lid of it was very dry and very white - yes, I mean really white, not brown as might be expected. The steak meat was generally luke warm, but in a couple of spots , stone cold due to insufficient time in the microwave. The chips and peas were luke warm, presumably because they were waiting for the white pie lid yo be cooked! I ate very little of the meal, just enough so as not alarm the people who had "treated" me to the delight. To be fair, I noticed other tables tucking into platefuls of pasta swimming in too much sauce. My other diners seemed happy enough with their toasted sandwiches. One of them even decided to book a table there for Christmas day, a bargain at £60!! Rather them than me! Great location, but I shall only go there for coffee in the future.

Took my elderly mum here for her birthday - we were a party of five. We hadn't been here before but love the location and the drive along the coast to get there. We'd booked a table. We did have a nice visit, but it simply isn't a restaurant, despite the name. It's a cafe and no more than that. You order your food at a desk and give them a table number. My sister asked for the wine list and the member of staff looked utterly blank. I was very disappointed in this restaurant, but it was fine as a cafe. We went past the function room all ready for a wedding and it looked lovely :) Would return for a coffee, but think the name is very misleading. Very disappointed at my choice for a special birthday :(

Been a visitor here several times over the years. Lovely cafe overlooking north shields and out to sea, panoramic views. Lovely place to have coffee and a chat. Good extensive menu. Pleasant staff. Plenty of comfortable seating. Plenty of outside seating also.

We stayed at the Little Haven Hotel and walked along the bay, wonderful day the sun just perfect, flat surface so walking is made easy.

very good paths well set out short or long walks to choose from good views from the cliff tops or walk to the end of the piers,some of the best beaches youl find

excellent choice of breakfast and more than enough available. thoroughly enjoyed the panoramic views of the sea and river.

I lunched with 2 friends who both chose gammon steak. Both steaks were hard and dry. I had scampi which was OK. We all had chips, which were soft and mushy, disgusting.

Sandy beaches, history and a real effort to enhance the natural environment. Watch all that’s happening on the River too. Go for a walk, its lovely

What a lovely restaurant this is. It's in the conservatory inside the hotel. Pleasant staff. Plenty of comfortable seating. We ordered a cafetierr of coffee for two. Lovely coffee. Served with cream or milk. It was a very sunny and warm day so the sun shone through the roof of the conservatory. The meals were reasonably priced and a good selection. Well worth visit

excellent food, service and prices. Great attention to detail by staff, and very tasty and well-cooked food provided.

I was born and bred here so know what the old promenade used to look like. They have transformed it into a modern feature that you simply want to walk along. Parking is plentiful and right next door

Before our visit we were not aware of the many beautiful beaches in this area. We will revisit in the summer to enjoy on a warmer day!

This is the first time I've ever written such a negative review. We ate lunch in this restaurant today and ordered the roast beef. The meat was fatty and nasty-practically inedible. The vegetables were a little undercooked but this is the norm in many places. There was very little gravy but perhaps that was just as well! This meal literally left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I mentioned it to a staff member but there was no apology. Disappointing isn't a strong enough word. Good venue for tea and cake. Cannot recommend the meals.

Reallyt great beech to walk along. The view are good with views across to Tynemouth with teh abbey and Collingwood Monument prominent. It'salso dog friendly but can be a bit exposed. There'sgood parkiung as well

A menudo se quejan como sandancer sobre nuestra consejo local pero el mar es genial. El trabajo ha sido hecho a un alto nivel y hay un montón de aparcamiento. El consejo tienen aumentado allí juego aquí y la festivales de verano también son de primera clase. Las vistas son fabulosas y hay mucho que hacer y gastar su dinero.

there was a festival on in south shields so the town was very busy but most shops and cafes were very friendly

what a difference a little bit of work can change a place, its was really lovely that day as I sat on the eye for a pose, while I read the words around this lovely piece.

Came here and enjoyed a lovely lunch. There is plenty on the menu food was yummy. The views over the sea are lovely as well. Staff were friendly and happy to help you. Lovely place would come back again.

Una ubicación hermosa pero tal decepción para comida... Pedimos 3 platos principales y 2 comidas para niños. En primer lugar, niños... bien, nada de que quejarse. Nuestros platos principales eran terribles. Pedimos la envoltura de pescado (tenía numerosos huesos) se olvidaron de nuestra fichas y cuando sí fueron duras... nuestro 'sandwichera vino en forma de sandwich con uno de los principales ingrediente que falta. No me comer mal es comer y yo no esperaba el nivel ritz pero quizás una disculpa y restitución por ofrecer pescado con espinas y un sandwich untoasted con ingredientes perdiendo de hubiera sido agradable. Y por agradables me refiero común de cortesia que esperaría de cualquier restaurante o cafetería, grandes o pequeñas. Realmente decepcionado y no regresaré. Podría quizás (quizás) entender si era super barato... pero no lo es. Es una pena.

Food is ok staff could do a bit better ,the service let us down .would go again just for coffee and a cake its a hotel you pay hotel prices..

Los south shields tiene nuevas características por el paseo de la playa de paraíso littlw . El ojo se ve precioso iluminado por la noche y cambia de color. También Tony helado y kiosco minchellas parrilla . Un lugar precioso para caminar en cualquier momento del año. Tenemos un paseo marítimo precioso . bien una visita.

The sea front South Shields has always been one of my favourite places, and i'm always wary of 'improvement' as all that usually means is Health and Safety remove the fun element.Not in this case, the makeover makes the area so much more user friendly especially for wheelchair users, plenty of comfortable seating, new lighting and some pleasing art installations that fit well into the surroundings.

Opened in 2014 very pleasant walk Park alongside ideal for walking clean and spotless Excellent parking in area and not costly !

We have stayed in South Shields this , year what a lovely place the beach front was very clean ,and we had a good walk along the front ,it was very cold but we did enjoy our stay there ,and we met up with family while there ,good places to eat as well.

This Hotel is getting worse by the month!!We went to the Little Haven to save ourselves preparing a meal for a change. What a mistake!! It was quite empty at 5.30 when we walked in. There was about 5 men waiters just hanging around a corner of the Dining Room obviously trying to avoid serving a customer. We only order and just fancied Soup with Roll and Butter, with Chips and two bottles of Budweiser Lager. Not much I know BUT the soup arrived in a dish about cup size but without the Rolls and Butter, or Chips. We called one of the Staff who looked over to us waving at them. Where our Rolls? They had to go to the store for them - we were served them freezing!!!! They were taken away and defrosted! Where is our chips, please. Did you order chips? Yes we said with our Soup!!!What a waste of £18 for two pensioners!!We have said it before - NEVER AGAIN !!!!!!!!!

Visited this restaurant with a party of 12 people and we were shown straight to our table which we had previously booked.as it was their Steak Night the whole party ordered from the steak menu.The meal was served very promptly and everyone in the party agreed it was the best steak meal they had tasted and was cooked just as each diner had requested.The staff were very pleasant and efficient.Would certainly visit this restaurant again.

The table d'hote menus in the Boardwalk Restaurant at the Little Haven are always excellent. The portions are always generous and the food is always fresh and hot. I have never had a bad meal there yet and I have eaten many times in the restaurant.

I have been reading reviews on this site since our awful experience in November 2013 and have discovered that there are 2 review pages running through Tripadvisor. My initial review is on the other Little Haven review site but was intrigued as the manager states on this site that the hotel prides itself on its customer service I have seen no evidence of this and the Manager I presume must read the reviews as he has responded to some people yet he never commented or made an apology to me for the staple in my food which resulted in us not visiting again.

Lovely food, excellent service, wonderful food and walk out onto the beach afterwards with a glass of wine if you wish.
