Just had a visit to The Plimsol Line in Redcar with my daughter, and it was an absolute gem of a place! From the second we walked in, we were met with a friendly, cozy atmosphere – the kind where you immediately feel at home, or at least like you’re not in for a soggy seaside experience.

Nearly snapped my back moving our table to assist a lady to get her husband past in his wheelchair as did another lot of people on another table.
