Food is fine, large tables make the place feel a little cramped and service can be intermittent particularly in busy times. There are tables "outside" (i.e. in the mall), but they can get a bad draft from the mall entrance if the weather is bad, so be prepared to keep your coat on.

We were a party of four and we sat with plenty of room and the menu had a variety options that everyone got something they would enjoy. We ordered the soup of the day (vegetable soup) which was delicious and earthy and would recommend if it's on the day you come. As well as the ham cheddar and chutney cheese that doesn't stray too far from tradition so if you're looking for comfort it's definitely a solid choice. We also dabbled in the "Relish Special" which is a tapas idea of picking three small dishes. These a large selection so you're bound to find something you'll like. The coffee is AMAZING. As a coffee fanatic I often find it hard to find a coffee that's worth paying for. And the Relish's self roasted bean is creamy&smooth and would definitely recommend. Overall if you're looking for value of money food and atmosphere this is your place 100%

We noticed this café/bistro a few weeks ago on a part of Whitely Road that we don't normally…read morefrequent and finally got around to visiting. The décor is very up market, in keeping with the slightly top-hat and hunting pink feel to the name, almost as if it were once situated in Harrods and has been lifted up and dropped in this slightly run-down and tatty area of Whitley Bay. I must say I felt a little out of place, having popped out from home in just jeans and t-shirt, maybe next time I'll smarten up a bit first. The food was very good, I had the scallops with black pudding along side a "dieting" smoothie, my wife had a tuna and sweetcorn toasted sandwich with an Amaretto latte; when the food arrived it was almost a shame to eat it as they were works of art. Prices were slightly higher than other lunchtime places in town (normally two lunches with drinks are in the £10-15 range and this was £20). I can only think of two downsides to the visit. First, I found out after my visit that they serve a very highly rated afternoon tea and second, despite being only one of two tables in use at the time our food took almost half an hour to arrive, which felt a little excessive given the dishes ordered; perhaps we caught the kitchen out in some way. Update 29/3/2013: Visited for afternoon tea today, and it is as good as other reviewers say. First course is a plate of sandwiches (with the crusts cut off). Tuna and sweetcorn, ham a wholegrain mustard, chicken & mayo and cream cheese with cucumber. As an additional surprise the chicken appeared to have been freshly grilled as the sandwiches were warm. Second course the lightest scones we had ever eaten (apple and cinnamon) with strawberry jam and clotted cream. To finish, cakes. The red velvet cake was like a giant cupcake, avoiding the usual trap of being dry, and topped with lashings of butter-cream icing. All washed down with tea chosen from a myriad of loose-leaf green and black varieties available. All very nice and jolly civilized.

What a lovely little cafe in Tynemouth - why don't we have more places like this in Newcastle?…read more There's so much attention to detail in the decor. All of the sweets look absolutely amazing, but I just had lunch and tea. I had a Thai Chicken Salad for £7 and a pot of peppermint tea for £2, and both came out very quickly! The salad was full of vegetables, and the chicken was marinated in a very flavorful dressing. The meal was fresh and light, and really hit the spot after a long walk. My friend also really enjoyed her Indian chicken wrap thing, which was huge! Much bigger portion than mine and it looked delicious. I'd come back anytime I'm in town, everyone's food looked gorgeous coming out of the kitchen, with lots of fresh produce and vibrant colors. Just what a cosy cafe should be. I only wish they had loose tea instead of teabags.
