The "Coastline" in Blyth, England, is a renowned restaurant and takeaway that specializes in top-notch fish and chips, located right on the picturesque coast of Northumberland. It has built a reputation as a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, who not only wish to enjoy traditional British cuisine but also appreciate the proximity to the sea and the relaxed atmosphere.

Restaurant on the Northumberland coast

The menu is diverse and caters to all tastes. A highlight is the "Coastline Special," a dish featuring freshly fried cod or haddock, crispy chips, creamy mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a soft bun – a true classic that captures the essence of the house. For variety, options such as fried mozzarella sticks or grilled halloumi also delight vegetarian guests. The fish comes from sustainable waters, and the potatoes are seasonally selected to ensure the best quality at all times. Another highlight is the homemade Ciccarelli ice cream, offered in a variety of flavors, including quirky options like Unicorn and classic varieties like vanilla, freshly made and available for both dining in and takeaway.

The restaurant itself is spacious and designed to accommodate many guests, featuring modern, functional decor that still exudes a touch of coastal charm. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, allowing patrons to enjoy the fresh sea air on pleasant days. Its proximity to the promenade and beach makes it ideal for combining a meal with a stroll – many guests take their fish and chips and sit on a bench or right on the beach to enjoy the view. The "Coastline" is particularly appealing to families, as there is a playground nearby, and smaller portion sizes for children are also offered.

Brilliant fish and chips - love coming here. Chips are really good and the fish is amazing. I've given 5* for atmosphere but it's a chippy so not sure what atmosphere you'd be looking for!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Other reviewers are spot on about the high prices. £10 for a piece of fish to takeaway! Yes, it's a big portion, but lacking in quality. I have tried their cod and their haddock on several occasions. Both are rather dry and chewy. The chips also are hit and miss. Sometimes okay, but other times floury inside, rather dry and lacking flavour. Perhaps the worst thing is the ratio of 'scratty ends' you get to normal shaped chips. For the money, they could do better.

Fabulous food - just a bit overpriced. I opted for a kids meal which was just right for me.

My kids said this is the nicest fish they've had in ages! Really organised service. You do need to ask for ketchup but it is free! Help yourself to salf & vinegar which is great in our family as one loves vinegar and the other doesn't and they usually share an adult meal! Plenty of space outside to sit with the dog.

Very expensive and not the best. 2 Fish, chips and 1 curry over £28.00. Really expected something better. Back to harbour view!
