Eating out in North East England is very much dependent on where you are. Fresh fish can be found at many of the coastal towns such as Whitby and Redcar. Fast food chains, Italian, Indian and French restaurants are all common to most larger towns.
North Easteners pride themselves on serving what they argue is the best traditional English fish and chips. From the largest cities in the region to the smallest villages, a fish and chip shop and a pub are almost guaranteed.
