Best Lunch Restaurants in Whitley Bay

5 of us visited for the first time today 18th dec. We had a mixture of meals from the Christmas menu, everything was perfect, the restaurant has a lovely cosy feel and we all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon, we will definitely visit again.

21 is a real gem of a restaurant. The food is fabulous and there's a lovely atmosphere. Although it was busy, the noise from other diners was not intrusive and there were plenty of staff to ensure you were well looked after. On that note, the staff are an absolute credit to the restaurant; friendly, chatty and smiley, whilst still being professional. They were attentive, without being intrusive, which is a real skill to master. Every member of staff from front of house reception, waiting staff, sommelier and bar staff, helped to make our visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Not sure why I haven't been here before, perhaps I thought it might be a little too formal but that's my mistake as it's not in the slightest bit stuffy, quite the opposite. I may have lost out on a wonderful place and some fantastic food over the years because of a misconception, but I plan on rectifying that error by going back as often as I can from now on.

Excellent food, service and wines. Very relaxing lunch in a calm yet vibrate surrounding. Thank you all very much we were very well looked after.

We have had Sunday lunch here on many occasions and it has always been excellent, this time we opted for an evening meal and weren’t dissapointed. A nice table, pleasant staff and an excellent meal for both of us. Will certainly be back!!

Superb meal and highly recommend the family loved it
