Fred’s

Perched on the North Shields Fish Quay, this laid-back bar and restaurant brings a relaxed, beachy vibe to the Quay. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back with a cocktail, watch the boats drift by, and forget what the weather’s doing. Inside, you’ll find warm tones and a welcoming atmosphere that’s just as suited to lazy afternoons as it is to lively evenings.

Our menu puts a fresh spin on modern pub food—think comforting classics elevated with bold flavours, quality ingredients, and a touch of coastal influence. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual bite, sunset drinks, or a night out with friends, it’s all about good food, great drinks, and easy-going energy by the water.
