Shampan Cocktail Lounge

With a menu that promises to ‘have your tastebuds explode with flavours that are beyond your traditional taste’, you’d better brace yourself when you book a table at this feisty newcomer to Whitley Bay’s growing bar and restaurant landscape. The mandate at this Whitley Road restaurant covers the three most famous of South Asia’s myriad cuisines – Indian, Punjabi, and Bangladeshi – given a good working over by Kamrul Hussain and his kitchen staff, with the head chef himself equipped with over 20 years experience, and doubles as a cocktail bar and lounge for a spirited pre- or post-meal tipple. Just a couple of blocks towards the sea from Whitley Bay station, and therefore with good connections to Newcastle and not too far of a drive from South Shields, Shampan is setting the stage for success.
