Located in the iconic Spanish City Plaza, Trenchers Whitley Bay is quickly becoming a culinary gem on the coast. This restaurant captures the essence of seaside dining, offering mouthwatering fish and chips that many have praised. According to customer reviews, the ambiance is equally delightful, often accompanied by live music that enhances the dining experience. Mike Davison commended the renovation of the historic venue, highlighting the professionalism of the staff, though he noted some limitations with the curry sauce.

Reviewers like John Broomhead found the chips and mushy peas superior to those at the Whitby branch, while Ian J shared that service was prompt and food was fresh, despite a cooling air conditioning issue. The standout praise extends to the restaurant's attentive staff, particularly Daphne, who consistently received accolades for her service. Special occasions, like Gillian Wales's mother’s 91st birthday, were celebrated with beautifully crafted cakes, reinforcing the overall commitment to quality and hospitality. Whether you’re in for the classic haddock and chips or a unique dining experience beneath the dome, Trenchers promises a memorable meal that beckons you to return.

The renovation of this iconic building is wonderful. The staff are professional and friendly. Where else can you listen to lounge music as your haddock and chips are cooked! I was a bit disappointed by the curry sauce, which lacked spicy heat in my opinion. Otherwise, top notch.

Normally frequent the Whitby branch but as we were in the area, thought we would give Spanish City a try. What a great venue. The chips and mushy peas we considered to be better than Whitby but the fish at Whitby was marginally better. The portion was bigger though. Would we go again, absolutely.

Visited 12pm on a Monday. Was seated straight away and food and drinks ordered promptly. Served initially by Daphne who was excellent. Food arrived after about a 15 minute wait 1 regular cod, 1 regular haddock and one large cod, all with chips and different sides. Food was excellent fresh and piping hot. Only 2 very small pick up points. It was quite cold due to air conditioning and the large cod was about the same as the regular cod. Couldn't comment on price as daughter was treating us. I have noticed a lot of the poor reviews involved the staff. On our visit ALL the staff were excellent.

Staying in Whitley Bay, we visited this unique restaurant within the Spanish City. It was a very special experience to enjoy excellent fish and chips and burgers, sitting under the dome. We were lucky to have the resident pianist playing that night. Couldn't fault the food, it was delicious and well presented. We were looked after by the wonderful Daphne throughout our meal.. what a great evening!

Had lunch for my mums 91st birthday, from ringing up to arrange to the actual day everyone was extremely helpful and attentive. I ordered a cake from their pastry chef and it was absolutely amazing, looked and tasted fantastic.

We found a branch of the Trenchers of Whitby at Whitley Bay provided a similar excellent quality of food and service! It's good for family, groups or even for a couple who want to enjoy a quiet time. The seating arrangement could be done upon request. For a quiet table, ask for the table in the ring of the 2nd floor. The accessible entrance is available via the Valerie’s bakery next door.
