Local record

History of this pub

Whitley Bay's Beefeater was part of the seafront's revival, built beside the restored Spanish City Dome as part of North Tyneside Council's Seafront Master Plan. The 68-bedroom Premier Inn with its 190-cover Beefeater restaurant and bar was completed in June 2017, with its render finished to match the restored Dome and the design agreed with conservation officers so it would sit comfortably beside the landmark.
