Our Guestbook
“ We cannot thank Amy and the Girls enough for an amazing Celebration following our Renewal of Vows Ceremony on the 4th May 2025 x Everything from the planning prior to the day, the ease of booking, the regular contact and the “nothing is too much” ethos they promoted was just spot on. The Venue is second to none, a lovely welcoming space with unique features and extremely well presented. The additional bonus of the Pool Table kept our younger guests entertained all evening. The variety of drinks was also appreciated by all too. We chose the second of two wonderful food options and everything was incredible and really did include a bit of everything that is rare in a food package. The best part if it could get any better was the Staff themselves. Amy the owner is an absolute legend, she even helped me with a hairdresser when all was lost. The girls who were working were incredible with our younger guests too especially Phoebe who made a lot of friends that night! We travelled 5 hours from our home to hold our Ceremony and Celebration in Whitley Bay and the Crab and Waltzer was one of the reasons why. We would not hesitate to recommend this Venue and hope everyone that uses the Venue has as lovely time as we did! ”
“ We had a party last Saturday and it was brilliant. Staff were so friendly nothing was a bother. Everyone enjoyed themselves and commented on how lovely the buffet was, plenty of food for everyone. Would definitely recommend this as a party destination xxx ”
“ First time eating here. The food is fresh and great portion sizes. I shared a portion of fish and chips with my partner and it was enough. But if your starving, you will not be disappointed. The halloumi and onion rings were amazing too. The staff were fantastic, the food arrived quickly and they were friendly and took care of us. I would highly recommend this venue. And will be going back in the future. ”
“ Staff where amazing, they were friendly, chatted to my son when he got upset as he thought they were pinching his food when I asked for a tub to take his home as he hadn't eaten it. Food was outstanding, generous portions, will definitely be back ”
“ What a find. Super friendly staff. Food great quality, generous portions and very good value for money. Visited twice over the weekend for dinner and drinks. Live music on Fridays. ”

“ Nice Quality Food and Dog Welcomed ”
“ I cannot recommend this place enough. Have been here twice specially for the crab sandwich because it's the best crab sandwich in the UK in my opinion - even better than a crab sandwich from Cromer in Norfolk! I have it on brown, malted bread with a bowl of chips. They do not scrimp on the filling and you get lots of both brown and white meat - absolutely delicious. Staff are really lovely and welcoming too and prices are very good. I highly recommend going here for the sandwich or why not try a dressed crab and let me know how it goes! ”
