Customer Review Summary
The Roxburgh’s chief attraction is its multi-course tasting menu, which reviewers repeatedly describe as delicious and top-quality in presentation, with highlights such as the giant sausage roll served at breakfast and a beautifully cooked soufflé on the tasting list. Several diners also praise the wine pairing, noting good value and a well-chosen list. Complaints surface about the wine being overpriced and a few courses not harmonising with the rest of the menu, and one reviewer points out that the restaurant is not suited to vegetarians and that the main dish arrived after a long wait. A common comment is the surprise of receiving no printed menu, adding an element of intrigue to the experience.

“So glad we discovered this place! Pure fluke it was near our BnB and our friends said it was lovely but we might not get in...... Absolutely amazing set tasting menu - which when we visited was loosely 'football' themed. Each course brought a delight for your eyes as well as the tastebuds! If you are in the area this is a must visit for anyone who enjoys good food”

“Fine dining taster menu on a theme. Choice not on this menu. Definitely not for vegetarians - meat and fish dishes . Really long wait for 'main' dish [45 min] and restaurant not busy.”
- David McKnight
“Friendly and attentive service, decent food for the most part. A couple of the courses were not so good, and didn't quite work with the rest of the menu, but overall good, with a couple of standout dishes. Beautifully cooked souffle!”
- Simeon Ripley
“A hidden gem, doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the food is outstanding! Good service and atmosphere too. Highly recommended!”
- Jim Milner
“This unassuming restaurant is well worth a visit. Fine dining in Whitley Bay . I and my family ;16, 17 & ??, ??😏 went here for sons 16th birthday and had the 6 course set meal which is the only option but the food was delicious and the service was great. I don’t take to the pretentiousness of some fine dining establishments but the Roxburgh is not like that at all. The food is brought to with a simple explanation and it is delicious. You pay an appropriate price which isn’t cheap. But as a self confessed tight Yorkshireman i was happy to pay for the whole great experience. Save up and go!”
