Grand Tynemouth - North Tyneside

We returned last night after an extended lock-off for us to the grand back, and from the minute we came into the lounge, it was pure happiness. the quiet, lush seating with views of the sea is simply so wonderful for the soul. fab service. remove our aperitifs and. simply relaxed. we then decided to have a meal in the restaurant, again a nice room, a warm welcome from the staff and another beautiful sea view. eating was delicious, every morsel, scallops nicely cooked. size perfect. weinliste very well chosen and the red we had was excellent. such a happy night.

This was a birthday present for my man of his colleagues who was very enjoyed by us both. tee or coffee with the food offered and often refilled, great sandwiches and the offer to exchange every one we do not like, cheese and sweet fruit (with jam and saw) and a selection of cakes and desserts. all enjoyed by the best places in the room, with views of the stunning beach and sea. Nothing was too much effort served by the workers to ensure that all our needs were met with a real smile, thank you.

I called here tonight and I was happy to offer a window table. eating was fantastic and good for quality. our waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Book the grand hotel for Christmas evening dinner after reading good reviews and want to do something else. never was eating terrible, we paid £700 for 7 of us and it was a complete waste of money. a lot of eating was sent. back untouched and I had to cook my 2 teenage sons something to eat when we came home. spoil our Christmas day, I wouldn't recommend at all. complained directly to the hotel and was unsatisfied with their answer.

I am fortunate enough to live within walking distance of the Grand Hotel. We have held a family wedding there, frequent Copperfields and tha Lounge regularly and had relatives stay there. We were delighted to recieve a gift voucher for the Brasserie at Christmas. We...booked to use it on our anniversary. It was a Friday evening and it was somewhat of a disappointment to find only four other couples in the large dining room. To me the atmosphere was somewhat lacking. We also thought that the menu was limited for example there was only one chicken dish and after asking the waiter what it was it was a small whole chicken served hunter style not good for a partner that doesn’t like chicken on the bone. The vegetarian option were also limited. In the end we had steaks, one sirloin and one fillet. The fillet steak was very good. Although the price was at the top end I baulk at having to pay extra for a sauce and onion rings the steak itself coming with one small mushroom, half a tomato and chips. My prawn cocktail was good. The service was good if not a bit too efficient! To me if the Brasserie wants to attract other than Hotel residents in numbers it needs to make the dining room a little more intimate and perhaps look at the menu to attract younger diners, don’t have to look far we love Oras and Allards for a dining experience. Trip adviser don’t allow you to rate as good it’s either very good or average and my experience wasn’t in the very good category and I wouldn’t return unless there was a change to the menu.
