A NEW PORT OF CALL Harbourside activity in the port town of Blyth, northern England dates back to the 12th century, when local monks exported salt from the quayside. Nowadays, at the newly built Commissioner’s Quay Inn, the salt travels across tables rather than oceans.
Capping off an elegant re-development in the historic quay, the Inn opened five weeks before the legendary Tall Ships Regatta visited Blyth in August 2016. The international event proved the perfect opportunity to showcase panoramic ocean vistas, a contemporary waterfront terrace and the best of coastal pub grub. The regatta brought an unprecedented number of drinkers and diners to Blyth. Fortunately the kitchen at the Commissioner’s Quay Inn was specifically designed for such a buoyant market.
