First thing:
If you’re an early bird and fancy grabbing some brekkie after an early morning walk or (if you’re brave) a cold-water swim, then head to the high street for a delicious doughnut and hot beverage at Deep North. Or, if savoury is more your thing, then why not grab a full English from The Priory café.
Peckish?
Fancy a wee snack to get you through your browsing around the Tynemouth high street? Head for a slice of cake and a drink at one of the many cute cafes, including a favourite of mine Dil & the Bear.
Lunch time:
Now it's time for some scrumptious and substantial scran, and Tynemouth has plenty to fill your stomach. My personal favourites include Woods Café, where their focaccias are divine, or Surf Café, which has an Australian atmosphere that stop anyone feeling glum about the lack of sun.
Coffee time?
If you need a pick-me-up, then head to Laneway Café Co., where there is a variety of hot and cold beverages to enjoy as well as some sweet treats to contrast the salty sea air.
Dinner to finish a delightful day:
After the cold air has freshened your mind, your hands and lips begin to go numb, and the sky darkens at the close of a coastal day, a great traditional British finish is with some fish and chips. I’d recommend Longsands Fish Kitchen on the front street, with a large menu ranging from your traditional fishes such as cod or haddock to a vegetarian battered sausage. I’d personally go for the chip butty and lather it in vinegar - you can’t go wrong!
So, despite the weather being unpredictable, one thing that is certain is that this town is home to good options for any time of day.
