🥣🍓☕ Not every breakfast has to be a Full English...

If you're after something a little lighter (without compromising on flavour), we've got you covered.

Our homemade granola is layered with creamy natural yoghurt and topped with our own homemade fruit compote – fresh, satisfying and the perfect way to start the day.

Pair it with one of our refreshing Big 5 smoothies, packed with fruity goodness, and a perfectly crafted Tynemouth Coffee flat white, and you've got a breakfast that's as delicious as it is nourishing.

Perfect for those mornings when you want to leave feeling energised rather than needing another nap. 🌿

☀️🫖 Our new Summer Specials Menu has landed! 🍳🔥

We've taken everything you already love about our breakfast menu and turned it up a notch with a range of epic new specials.

Leading the charge is the mighty Big Drift – the breakfast that laughs in the face of lunchtime.

Three premium sausages, three thick rashers of bacon, two fried eggs, two chunky slices of Northumberland black pudding, a generous helping of haggis, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns and two slices of toast... plus a tea or filter coffee included.

It's a proper feast that'll keep you going long after your beach walk – even if that walk isn't until next week. 😅

Whether you're after a light bite or a full-on breakfast challenge, there's something for everyone on our menu.

Check out the full menu on our website via the link below and come and give it a try! ☀️🍽️

🍺 THE DRIFT JUST GOT EVEN BETTER... WE'VE GOT BEER ON TAP! 🍺

After lots of requests, we're excited to announce that draft beer is now available at The Drift!

The team stayed back after shift yesterday to give the new lines their official christening (purely for quality control purposes, of course 😅🍻), and we're pleased to report everything is pouring perfectly!

Draft beer will be available whenever our pizza cabin is open: 🍕 Thursday: 4pm–8pm
🍕 Friday: 12pm–8pm
🍕 Saturday: 12pm–8pm
🍕 Sunday: 12pm–5pm

So whether you're joining us for a wood-fired pizza, a catch-up with friends, or one of our summer events, you can now enjoy an ice-cold pint fresh from the tap too.

A massive thank you to our brilliant team for helping get everything ready. We thought a quick team photo was only right to mark the occasion!

Who's coming down for a pizza and a pint this weekend? 🍕🍺👇

The time has finally come — our car park is getting some much-needed repairs! It definitely needed doing 😅

As a result, our car park will be closed on Monday and Tuesday while the work is carried out.

We're still OPEN AS USUAL from 9am–4:30pm, serving up all your favourite homemade food, great coffee, cakes and treats.

There is still plenty of parking available, with the free public car parks directly opposite the café just a short walk away, so visiting us will be as easy as ever.
