Visited flanders today, on the sea front in seaham, and I must say what a little hidden gem it is, popped in straight from a football match with my sister and mam, so not your usual outfit to go to an eatery, but I will say the welcome was fab, and to add to this once we got in I was absolutely delighted to see a little cockerpoo sat with her family also enjoying a meal, I'm certainly coming back with my little fur baby 😊. The decor inside is lush, everything fits together nicely, and the artwork is ace. Very clean, friendly service, and lovely to see happy faces behind a uniform. Nothing but great service received today from everyone. Now to the food. I ordered the full english breakfast as it was just before dinner, it was absolutely spot on, I'm a very picky eater, but once my order was taken at the table and I chose what I did and didn't want on my plate my food arrived in a very efficient time scale, it was cooked to perfection and very delicious, loved the way the toast was served on a separate plate, and the beans in a little dish, nothing worse than a soggy hash brown 🤦‍♀️ thankfully not the case here. Once finished and our plates were taken away, I mentioned to the waitress to pass my compliments to the chef, i always pass on credit where credit is due, however her response was that she wasn't their usual Head chef, and had just stepped up from front of house to help out in these struggling circumstances, and I will say what a fabulous job she is doing, so I said to pass on special compliments to Claire 10/10 and as I said I will be back again 100% great place, great staff.
