Property Description
The Dolphin Inn, set in the charming coastal town of Tynemouth in North Shields, Tyne and Wear is a historical gem and the oldest inn in Tynemouth. Positioned near the north mouth of the River Tyne and only eight miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, it occupies a prime spot for visitors exploring this scenic area. Visitors can easily stroll from The Dolphin to key attractions like the Tynemouth North Pier, a 900 yard landmark extending into the North Sea and Long Sands Beach, a celebrated destination recognised as one of the UK's best beaches. Adding to its allure, Tynemouth Priory and Castle—an impressive medieval site on a headland—offers sweeping views over both the river and the sea, making it a must-see for history enthusiasts. Convenient travel connections by car, train, metro and bus allow easy access to The Dolphin, making it an ideal destination for both locals and tourists.
Pub Layout

Towards the rear, a spacious function and dining room is perfect for larger gatherings and events, complete with a disabled accessible restroom for convenience. The kitchen and prep area are well sized and efficiently laid out to support both daily service and event catering. Outside, a sheltered patio offers a relaxing, wind protected outdoor seating option, while a small rear car park with space for up to four cars ensures easy parking.
Trading Style
The Dolphin is a well loved and well-established venue, offering a robust mix of activities and amenities for both weekday and weekend visitors. With an 80/20 revenue split favouring drinks, the pub excels as a wet led establishment, especially popular among sports enthusiasts who gather to watch live games on multiple TVs throughout the week. This sports friendly atmosphere consistently draws a lively crowd, making it a favoured spot for fans. Despite its focus on drinks, The Dolphin also boasts a strong food offering, with a menu devised around homemade, traditional dishes available all day, every day.
