One of North Tyneside's top spots for seafood by the sea has been named among the best seaside restaurants, cafes and shacks in the country.
The Guardian compiled a list drawing from all across the UK, featuring pizzerias on picturesque waterfronts, fine dining with stunning sea views and even a café that Broadchurch viewers might recognise. And the North East's one and only spot on the list went to Tynemouth's Riley's Fish Shack.
It's not the first and it probably won't be the last time Riley's gets a glowing recommendation from a big publication - having had rave reviews by food critic Jay Rayner, featured on Michel Roux Jr's Hidden Restaurants, and being shortlisted in the 'Off Map Destination' category at 2019's World Restaurant Awards. More recently, it was named by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the best beachside restaurants in the UK for the second year in a row.
