About The View

The View is a family-run café, bar and restaurant on Grand Parade in Tynemouth, taking its name from its position overlooking Longsands Beach in what it describes as one of the most beautiful locations in the North of England.

The kitchen focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with seafood featuring given the coastal setting. Menus run through the day, from breakfasts such as full English and eggs Royale, to lunches of fish and chips, burgers, jacket potatoes and sandwiches, plus an afternoon tea served on weekdays. The venue also caters for functions including weddings, birthdays and corporate events, accommodating larger groups alongside its regular daytime and evening trade.
