"I was extremely disappointed with my recent visit to a restaurant in Whitley Bay. I had previously praised this restaurant to everyone I knew before Covid hit. However, due to various reasons, I hadn't been able to return for the past four years. I was looking forward to enjoying some fish and chips, but unfortunately, the fish was bland and tasted like it had been frozen, and the chips were only warm, not hot. Both my husband and I had the same experience with our respective orders of haddock and cod. Additionally, the parking situation was a nightmare. As an overseas visitor, the parking meter wouldn't accept my card. Luckily, a friendly family helped us figure out the correct cash and how to operate the meter, which was also giving them trouble. It's disappointing that a restaurant of this caliber doesn't offer free parking for its customers. To top it off, despite paying for parking and displaying our ticket in the car, we still received a parking ticket because we didn't have proof of payment when we returned the hire car and cleared it out."
