There can be few restaurants that can claim to be truly unique, but the Marsden Grotto in South Shields, Tyne and Wear is certainly one of them. Formed from an old Smuggler’s cove, set into the rock at Marsden Bay, the Marsden Grotto Bistro and Restaurant offer a true seaside dining experience second to none.
Specialising, of course, in excellent seafood dishes, the locale and the food combine to give a truly memorable twist to eating out in Tyne and Wear.

A popular and scenic part of the North East coast, Marsden Bay features a host of bird colonies comprising, Fulmars, Gulls, and Kittiwakes and is home to the famous Marsden Rock, a noted geological formation.
The history of Marsden Bay is linked to the activity of 17th Century Smugglers and the Marsden Grotto occupies the site of the smugglers cove, in which they stored their illegally acquired booty. The restaurant has become as much a part of the history of Marsden Bay as the smugglers and forms a popular visitor attraction in it’s own right.

Visitors to the Marsden Grotto can choose between two bars, one of which offers bistro dining. A terrace overlooking the sea gives an additional opportunity to experience the unique environment.
The Back Bar exploits the history of the place with walls hewn from the rock and ropes, chains, and wood continuing the nautical theme. The Bistro menu is typical of a quality contemporary bistro, offering meat and pasta dishes, and a selection of seafood options.

The Marsden Grotto restaurant offers a contrast to the seafaring ambience of the Back Bar.
Bright and well presented, this excellent seafood restaurant is set out in an altogether more contemporary style, with celebrity pictures on the walls and fine seafood on the menu.
