Nestled in the vibrant coastal town of Tynemouth, The Murphy on Bell Street feels like that rare find you want to keep to yourself-but can't help sharing. This lively spot has become a magnet for those who crave bold flavors, smooth drinks, and a buzzing atmosphere that doesn’t quit. Whether you're swinging by for a laid-back solo dinner or gearing up for a weekend night out with mates, this place just gets it.
First off, let’s talk food. The Murphy doesn’t just serve meals-it delivers experiences on a plate. Craving something indulgent? Their Sunday Roast is nothing short of legendary, a proper British feast with all the trimmings that’s been praised for both quality and consistency. The Pork Belly-crispy outside, tender inside-comes with such rich depth of flavor it might just make you forget every other pork belly you’ve ever had.
Then there’s the seafood, which speaks of its proximity to the coast. From Fish and Chips done right (we're talking golden batter and flaky fish perfection) to Steamed Clams that transport you to the Mediterranean, there’s no shortage of ocean-inspired goodness. Fancy something a bit different? The Crab and Spanish Chicken combo surprises with its fusion twist, while King Prawns in Garlic are a must for fans of bold, buttery flavors.
If you’re just dropping in for nibbles, don’t skip the Surf and Turf Fries-yes, that’s right-fries loaded with juicy beef and prawns, creating a decadent snack that pairs perfectly with a cold pint. For the adventurous palate, Moroccan Lamb Flatbread packs spice and satisfaction in equal measure.
Now onto drinks-and this is where The Murphy really shows off. Beer lovers, take note: the Guinness Stout flows cold and creamy, and the Spritz Veneziano adds a zingy Italian flair to your happy hour. Their great beer selection, carefully curated wine list, and signature cocktails (yes, the mixologists here actually know what they're doing) make it hard to pick just one favorite.
Want a place where the vibe changes with the hour? You’ve got it. Live music and performances add a rich layer of entertainment-there’s nothing quite like enjoying a plate of Onion Rings Spicy King Prawns while listening to a local artist jam out a bluesy set. And if you're into sports, you’ll appreciate the screens dotted around the bar area, turning every match night into a shared celebration.
Accessibility? Check. The Murphy makes sure everyone feels welcome, offering wheelchair-accessible entrances, toilets, and parking, which-let’s be honest-isn’t always a given at busy pubs. The outdoor seating is perfect for catching some sunshine with your pint, while delivery and kerbside pickup make sure fans can get their fix even from home.
Whether you're in it for a proper British lunch, a lively drink with friends, or just a cozy corner for solo dining with top-notch food, The Murphy hits the sweet spot. It’s confident without being pretentious, stylish yet familiar. And it’s exactly the kind of place that keeps you coming back-not just for the meals, but for the memories that come with them.
