Welcome to The Terrace & Victoria Suite Restaurant. The fully glazed Terrace has stunning sea views and an electrically operated retractable roof for sunny days and balmy evenings, perfect for meeting colleagues, friends and family members.

Our seafront restaurant is blessed with fabulous sea views over North Beach towards the splendour of Scroby Sands wind farm. And should the weather turn chilly we have excellent outdoor heating and cosy blankets. Well behaved dogs are welcome to join their owners on The Terrace.

The adjoining Victoria Suite has large opening windows, tall ceilings and plenty of space for everyone.

Table reservations can be made by telephone on 01493 842000 - we really look forward to welcoming you to our panoramic restaurant by the sea.
