We have lived in Cullercoats for years and have no idea how we managed to miss coming to High Tide until this evening. The food was simply delicious! Every dish has distinct and complex flavours. We had a variety of the small plates. My husband wanted the chorizo with honey which I said sounded like something we could cook at home. This turned out to be my favourite dish! Chorizo done over an open coal - just spectacular. The homemade tomato chilli jam under the salt and chili prawns was almost as good as the prawns itself.My husband's favourite was the gochujang chicken. Apparently (if I remember correctly) the Chef's partner is Korean and they make their own sauce. This, and the slow cooked beef curry had sufficient spice (even for us who lived in Asia for years). There was good wine, beer, and cocktails.The menu is designed to cater very well for many tastes, so had our young daughter been with us she could have chosen from the array of delicious looking pizza and pasta dishes. We thought the whole meal was great value and will definitely be back.You can go in just for drinks upstairs and it has an amazing view across Cullercoats Bay towards Tynemouth.Great work Jo and Nathan!

Had a very, very good Sunday lunch at home today. Both the pork and beef roasts were excellent. Alongside beautiful fresh veg and awesome Yorkshire puddings.A real lazy Sunday treat to takeaway. Brilliant and thank you.

We’ve been to High Tide a few times but have never been for Sunday Dinner despite receiving several recommendations. It did not disappoint. The portion sizes are very generous & the mixed meat option just spoils you - honestly couldn’t pick which meat was the best. Strong contender as one of my favourite Sunday Dinners in the area.

First time dining - on some great recommendations and it did not disappoint.As a huge fan of a Sunday roast (would consider myself an expert!) this was up there with the best. Great spot will be back to try an evening meal
