Lovely meal for 6 friends and perfect table by the window - light & quiet area. Interesting set menu - plenty of choice and I could have eaten any of them. Only downside: although we were seated before 7.30, and ordered fairly quickly, we waited awfully long time for food to be served. It was worth waiting for, but sadly just took too long.

This was one of my favourite restaurants in Whitley Bay but something has changed. Maybe it was because there were two very large parties in and it was extremely noisy, the food was OK but nothing special, menu was interesting as usual and the service was good. I’m not writing it off just yet but not rushing back either.

We have eaten at Hinnies on numerous occasions over the years and this is the first time that we have had a slightly disappointing experience. There were three of us in the party and we all ordered traditional Sunday roasts, which did not arrive at our table hot. While the food was flavoursome the temperature of said food was, at best, tepid. My wife did mention this fact to a member of staff but it seemed to go unheard. Nothing was said, or done, to improve our experience. On the basis we did not leave our normal 10% gratuity. We anticipate a better experience next time or we will dine elsewhere in the future.

An outstanding experience from start to finish. Service was absolutely impeccable, the food was delicious. Still thinking about the steamed ginger pudding. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you for a really lovely afternoon.
