Eating and drinking at the Little Haven is another key consideration. The hotel’s Boardwalk restaurant serves up a mix of freshly-caught local seafood, Mediterranean staples and British classics. The eatery is fashionably set against the backdrop of the lively waterfront and again, affords great views.
Food is served from morning til moon, making the restaurant a great choice for a walk-in full English, lunchtime soup & a sandwich or a larger evening meal.
South Shields is renowned for its seafood and the Boardwalk restaurant acknowledges this. A glance at its menu reveals an adventurous fresh market selection including Plaice a la Meuniere, Wolf Fish Tandoori and Shad “Bonne Femme.
A sense of Britishness pervades the venue and its seaside location which also makes it a prime spot for Afternoon Tea and Sunday Lunch, both reasonably priced at £17.40 (for two people) and from £8.00 respectively.
Other facilities have the business visitor in mind. The hotel’s comfortable lounge bar is perfect for a coffee/light snack whilst there’s also various dedicated meetings/conference spaces the largest of which can accommodate a maximum of 175 delegates. For those travelling on business, leisure or simply looking for a change of scene the Little Haven must be on your radar.
