“IT sometimes pays to search out places rather then pick the closest. This chippy is family friendly and has lovely tasty range of food. The prices are also good. Particularly in these harsh times. Writing this is making me think I need to drive over today.”

“Popped into the Bay on Seaburn sea front this morning for the first time for coffee, while on a walk with the family. The ladies who run the cafe very friendly and easy to talk too. We sat out at the front looking out to sea and really enjoyed our little break. Have said will definatly be calling again for drinks and food as the husband loves an all day breakfast when we go out and the Bays looked lovely when taking the all day breakfast to another table. Try it you wont be disappointed.”
