“ My wife and I had a fabulous culinary experience paired with some gorgeous wines. The best evening out for dinner in a long time. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, the venue is small and intimate with a parisian bistro feel. The restaurant only does a taster menu on Friday and Saturday and need advising of vegetarian requirements in advance. We did this for my wife and she enjoyed every course. ”
“ Stunningly delicious! Have heard amazing things about The Roxburgh and am somewhat embarrassed to say that it's taken this long to get in and try it. Breakfast choices are awesome and we had a fantastic (giant) sausage roll and a massive bacon sandwich - loved both! Both come with their own brand/made ketchup which was a great compliment to both dishes. This really is a proud features for Whitley Bay and one I hope to return to for brunch, lunch and dinner! ”
“ The food here is excellent. Really good 5 course tasting menu, a wine pairing option or lovely drinks choices. The setting is a small, bistro style, lovely restaurant. Great staff and atmosphere finish off the experience perfectly. ”
“ The taster menu was amazing - a complete surprise as we did not get a menu, which adds to the interest. The food was delicious- but not a belly buster, all small plates. We got the wine pairing which was good value for money and the lady who served us was very informative about all of the food and drinks. The decor is interesting, quite old fashioned but I really liked it. This place is only open on a Friday and Saturday evening so feels quite exclusive. All in all, a rare gem of a place and we will be back ”
“ Fantastic food. Top quality presentation and taste. This place should be regarded as one of the best in the greater Newcastle region. Cosy little place with great soundtrack on offer! Bonus of bringing your own beer/wine also. ”
“ 4th visit to The Roxburgh. Food is always exceptional, warm, friendly and knowledgable service, fantastic wine flight that complements the food. Looking forward to our next visit! ”
“ A hidden gem, doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the food is outstanding! Good service and atmosphere too. Highly recommended! ”
“ This unassuming restaurant is well worth a visit. Fine dining in Whitley Bay . I and my family ;16, 17 & ??, ?? went here for sons 16th birthday and had the 6 course set meal which is the only option but the food was delicious and the service was great. I don’t take to the pretentiousness of some fine dining establishments but the Roxburgh is not like that at all. The food is brought to with a simple explanation and it is delicious. You pay an appropriate price which isn’t cheap. But as a self confessed tight Yorkshireman i was happy to pay for the whole great experience. Save up and go! ”
