A County Durham restaurant loved by a former England star has bagged a host of top reviews online.
Tide in Seaham is loved by European Championship-winning midfielder Jill Scott, who was spotted enjoying a Friday night meal at the venue in October 2024, with the I'm a Celebrity winner snapped alongside staff.
Tide took over the former Clean Bean site at North Terrace in 2024 and underwent a £200,000 transformation to turn it into a stylish and unique restaurant.
It has claimed a 4.6/5 rating on TripAdvisor with a high proportion of 'excellent' scores from contributors - the highest possible on the site.Lioness champion Jill Scott was spotted at the venue last year. (Image: TIDE/FACEBOOK)
Contributors on the review website have praised the restaurant's various offerings at breakfast and lunch.
One punter said: "We visited Tide as walk-ins for two and were made to feel very welcome. The staff were pleasant and attentive throughout our visit, and the restaurant itself was lovely with a nice atmosphere.
"I had the pork belly roast dinner, which was absolutely delicious, and both food and drinks came out in a timely manner. The place also appeared very clean and well looked after. Overall, a really enjoyable experience -- I'd happily return and recommend to others."
Another said: "Been to Tide for breakfast multiple times now and it's been excellent every time.
"The thick bacon 'chops' are particularly nice. Looking forward to trying it for dinner sometime!"
A diner who visited for a Sunday lunch said: "The food and the service were nothing short of exceptional. A menu full of choice and cooked to a great standard.
"Tip - If you can't see availability online it's worth ringing to see if they can accommodate you. Well done team Tide. We will certainly be back."
