On Tuesday, we went to Tynemouth. We visited the Priory and then walked to King Edward’s Bay to have lunch at Riley’s Fish Shack.

We didn’t book, but they were happy to set us up with two deckchairs, a table and a windbreak

We shared the anchovies and I had a Seasalt Negroni (Hepple Gin, Martini Rosso, Campari and sea salt), Ma had a gin and tonic (Hepple Gin and Artisan Tonic).

The service was great, friendly but relaxed, I could have sat there all day and I think they would have let me!

I’d ordered the Salt Cod, which was amazing and so much food.

Ma had the Monkfish tail, which had equally generous portions.

It was a perfect way to spend a couple of hours on the beach, with a beautiful view and excellent food.
