What a little gem! The venue was used for my surprise party, it is absolutely stunning. Striking wallpaper adorned the walls, then you turn round abd are greeted by the panoramic view of the boating lake. Fabulous stocked bar for many a various cocktail and alcoholic drink, along with the usual hot drinks. The bar staff are exemplary and so very helpful. Couldn't give this wonderful venue more than the best review as it really was 'the best!!'. Thank you for the most wonderful night.
An excellent little bar/café by the boating lake (as featured in It's A Knockout in 1976). Ideal for teas & coffees with a little something sweet or cocktails & mocktails and a light meal. Good parking on the promenade and nicely sheltered for when that wind blows off the North Sea.Lovely staff, excellent service, friendly crowd, and bloomin' good coffee.
I forgot to take pictures but this unassuming little cafe is as good as the reviews I read before my visit. A varied group of clients all enjoying good food and the odd cocktail in a very friendly atmosphere. Lovely staff and great cakes too!
Fantastic, great food, lovely staff, great place. Really enjoyed our breakfast!!
Lovely dog-friendly seaside restaurant with an amazing menu, and very capable and friendly staff!!
Just visited with my two kids, sister and her dog, and what an epic place! The atmosphere was beautifully cozy and welcoming, and being dog-friendly was a huge bonus for us. The food was incredible—I had a jacket potato with cheese and salad, and it was absolutely lovely. I also treated myself to a Bailey's cappuccino while enjoying some live jazz music, which was such a treat!It feels like the place is family-run, I'm not sure if they are family or not but I got that impression which added to the warm and homey vibe.The staff were fantastic—nothing was too much trouble, and they were always attentive. I can’t recommend this place enough. A perfect spot for families, foodies, and music lovers alike!Thanks for having us!
We were staying in Redcar for the night and found this little gem after looking for somewhere local for breakfast that had gluten free options.The waitress couldn't have been more helpful in going through options that were suitable for my husband (he opted for the mini full English and was able to switch out the gluten containing sausage for an extra slice of bacon), my daughter and I shared a scrambled egg on toast and the Greek yogurt bowl (pictured!)All the food was fantastic!Thanks for a very lovely way to start our day!
Great for a light lunch, just off the seafront and the perfect stop off place for a coffee, beer or light snack.Super friendly staff and dog friendly outside seating.
