About Scott & Wilson
Scott & Wilson is a well-liked independent cafe on Trevor Terrace, in the New York and Preston side of North Shields, built around a strong breakfast and brunch menu. Dishes run from sausage or vegan sausage on brioche and smoked streaky bacon with poached eggs to sweet waffles, served through the morning and into the early afternoon.
It has a loyal local following and a reputation for generous, well-turned-out plates in a relaxed setting. For a proper weekend breakfast away from the Quay crowds, it is one of the town's go-to names.
