Toney Minchella Haven Point

Minchellas has been around since 1942 and serves beautiful ice cream. It was a bit chilly today for one today so we opted for cheese toasties and warming coffee. One of their parlours is situated right on the beach at Haven Point. Food and drink were lovely, reasonably priced, staff were very polite. Only down point was the table that we cleared ourselves to get a table. Worth a visit all year round but obviously if we get a summer it gets very busy.

Lovely outdoor seating, food and drinks. Had only every had an ice cream here so decided to try the food when meeting a friend. Was not disappointed. I had a steak salad box which was plenty for lunch. I took half the salad home to finish off later. The caramel lattes hit the spot too.

Love the steak focaccia with Cajun mayo. Really good. The bread in particular is outstanding. Have had a burger too, massive.

Only had a hot chocolate and a Bovril later but both were nice. Having seen the menu of food they do you are spoilt for choice though I haven't tried the food so I can't comment on that. Outside sitting only and they take card for payment too without there being a minimum spend

We visited this and another Toney Minchella last week and enjoyed toasties and sausage sandwiches with good coffee. Friendly staff and looks very clean. Will definitely be back on our next visit to South Shields
