About The Tram Shelter by Blacks Corner
The Tram Shelter is a Grade II listed Victorian shelter on Whitburn Road at Seaburn, restored and reopened in December 2023 as a delicatessen, eatery and wine bar by the team behind Blacks Corner in East Boldon. The menu is built around British farmhouse cheeses and charcuterie, with a breakfast menu in the morning and brunch dishes such as Roker rarebit, halloumi and nduja hash, eggs royale and butter pancakes.
Takeaway drinks and snacks are served from the Hastings Hatch for people walking the promenade. It opens from 9am every day, closing at 3pm Monday to Wednesday, 10pm on Thursday, 11pm on Friday and Saturday, and 8pm on Sunday, so it moves from breakfast spot to evening wine bar later in the week. Enquiries go to hello@blackscorner.co.uk.
