Mei Ling

A welcome addition to the poorly catered for Chinese option in Whitley Bay. The food is good, the staff and owners are very friendly.
We opted for a banquet for our first visit, which caused the only hiccup of the evening as the duck course arrived while we were only half way through our soup, which wasn’t a major issue as they were able to take it away and keep it warm.
The whole evening came to just over £25 per head, helped in no small part by the extremely low wine prices (I think the most expensive bottle was only £15 and most were £11). Given the local restaurant competition of all types, this is one area where they do need to up their game a little — but it’s early days.
I have no doubt we’ll be back again to see how they’re getting on in a week or two.
