Chef Tony Harrison revives Nor East at another harbour venue

A decade after launching Nor East at Queens Wharf, chef Tony Harrison has revived the name once again.

Harrison operated fine dining restaurant Nor East on the wharf next to The Brewery for four years and, after stints in the kitchen at Bar Petite, The Albion and Bistro Lowlands, is returning to his passion for cooking seafood at Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club in Wickham.

Harrison, who trained as a chef under Robert Molines in the Hunter Valley, took over the space in August and has reunited with head chef Darryl Popp, who worked alongside him at Nor East on Queens Wharf.

"I'd had Lowlands for five years, so it was time for a change," Harrison told Food and Wine.

The focus of the menu is seafood, with a rotating specials board of six to eight dishes each week.

"I love cooking seafood. It's something I am truly passionate about," Harrison said.

"This is one of the most gorgeous spots in Newcastle, so I really needed the food to match it. We're trying to position it not as fine dining, but as an upmarket bistro. It's somewhere you can still count on getting fish and chips, but you can also have market fresh amazing seafood."

As well as the main menu, Nor East Bistro offers starters and share plates, such as king prawn bruschetta and Harrison's signature chicken live pate with quince jam, pickles and sourdough. The charcuterie board is popular on weekends with customers who sit on the lawn looking out across the marina with a bottle of wine to share.

Nor East Bistro is open seven days for lunch and dinner, and serves breakfast on weekends. The breakfast menu includes options such as scrambled eggs with shaved sugar-cured kingfish.

"That one is something a bit different and it's really nice. We are also using really good local bread from the bakery across the road [Baked Uprising]," Harrison said.

A street food menu runs every Sunday afternoon to coincide with the club's live entertainment.

"It's a more relaxed and informal menu to match with the live music," Harrison said.

"We offer things like tacos, or we might put a curry on. It's a cool place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon and have a share menu with a group. There are vegetarian options and our specials board has a big focus on gluten-free as well."

"By a length the best Club in Newcastle" The Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club restaurant has a fabulous location on the water front, over looking the sailing boats moored in the marina. The restaurant is open, spacious, modern, comfortable. Along the east wall, there are large retractable windows allowing an uninterrupted view. The sunset on the sailing boats made a great setting for dinner. There is also a large extended court yard. The menu is good, from bar snacks, kids meals, appetizers, specials along with a cook your own steak/seafood option. From their open style kitchen, the food was fresh and very well prepared, the table service was excellent. We had the oysters, "superb" and Roast Lamb Rump, w/ Mint & Parmesan Mash, Green Beans & Merlot Sauce, "absolutely mouth watering" While we were dining, a function was in progress, a fashion show, in aid of the Cancer Council in an adjoining marquee. The club is open for coffee from 9am providing, News Papers, free Wifi. Tv. A very friendly convivial atmosphere, made for us, an excellent evening, looking forward to returning again. A booking to avoid disappointment would be advisable.

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Go here December each year to celebrate a birthday and Christmas combined, have been for many years. This time I guess due to Covid 19 the atmosphere and changes were a great disappointment. One god thing was that the tables were suitable distances apart. The... table service to take our orders was slow and we waited a long time. Then the requested information on the menu wasn't explained clearly enough by the person taking our orders . Then it took a LONG time to come out. When mine did it wasn't what I expected , one small piece of grilled fish and 2 uncooked stalks of broccoli and very expensive when we got the bill! We are now looking for a new venue for our next get-together. More

We haven’t been here for a few years. Friends told us about the renovations so we decided to try it. We booked online given a couple of options for times that were just too early for a Saturday night dinner for two. We chose the... adult time of 7pm. Arrived 6.45pm were seated and told at great length hot to either go to bar to place orders or use the QR code device for table service. We work long hours and enjoy table service when we dine out on the weekend. It’s our wind down time together to unpack the week, relax and talk. Using the QR device is a new thing and understand it’s a cost saving measure and contactless for Covid. However, DIY is not appreciated at these prices for a meal. We enjoyed a cocktail and then ordered an $80 bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal. Entrees then ordered and enjoyed. At 8.04pm we once again logged into the QR device to order our mains…nothing available! Upon enquiring why, we were told the kitchen closes at 8pm. Ok but who told us? Nobody! Not one mention on arrival, upon being seated and explained at length about how to order. Very disappointing. A simple message on the menu wouldn’t go astray. Whilst we did enjoy our entree we then moved on elsewhere for our main meal as it was our Saturday night dinner for two NOT just entree for two. Prices of meals equivalent to fine dining and way too high for the lack of atmosphere and DIY table service. Please add a pop up into your online booking AND a note on the menu AND for good measure tell your team to advise a 7pm diner that the kitchen closes at 8pm. More

We took our friends from Sydney here as we have always enjoyed the large offering of seafood on offer. We arrived at 6 pm and sat outside to have a drink at a table. At 6.40pm we headed inside to order and were told the... restaurant was fully booked out and that we could not sit outside to eat. This seemed strange to me as we had eaten outside before. I then asked whether we could sit at one of the many high tables inside that had table numbers but no reservation sign. I was told we could only order off the bar menu. None of this made sense to me so I questioned this. Thankfully the woman could see how absurd the situation was and allowed us to order off the main menu and sit at one of the many high tables available. The next problem was the menu. Given the restaurant is a yacht club and situated on a marina and next door to a fish Co-op one would expect a large range of seafood on offer. This is no longer the case. The mp fish was salmon - very disappointing since it is the most common fish available and the only other fish on offer was battered fish. This restaurant use to offer specials offering whole snapper etc but we have not seen this in a very long time. Very disappointed in the lack of seafood now offered at this restaurant. The pan fried salmon comes with boiled potatoes and broccoli. While substantial, I could cook this at home myself. My husband ordered the fish burger which he said was good but only ordered it because of the limited options. More

Having read the review in the local paper we were keen to give this restaurant another go. Have been dining at the Yacht Club for years because we love the venue but yet again the food has let us down. Very few gluten-free options for... my coeliac husband and his inquiry was met with "he can have the steak." He opted for two entrees and despite explaining to staff one was to be a main, they came at the same time around half an hour after we had ordered. The prawn bruschetta was ok, and the salt and pepper squid tasty but way more batter than I had expected from the menu. Our friend had a steak which he said was chewy and not cooked to his medium/well done preference. Sadly won't be rushing back here and wouldn't recommend at all. More

We had visited the NCYC twice in the past and had thoroughly enjoyed the fresh selection of seafood, along with the normal classics and decided to go again for a family lunch to celebrate my daughters 21st. We weren't aware of the renovations and were... pleasantly surprised upon walking in. Upon arrival in the dining area, we were advised that we had to place our orders for food as a whole and to come up to the register all together, there was 16 of us in total. After being there some 10/15 minutes, Maria came over and advised us again that we need to place our orders as a group and to come and do it soon because we had already been there for a while. Prior to Maria coming over to our table, I had already placed an order for bread's/entree's for the whole table and I mentioned to the staff that we were waiting on the rest of our party to arrive and we would then place our orders. Upon returing to the table I also advised Maria that as we were still waiting on some of our party to arrive, once they did we would make out way up as a group to place our Order(s). When we were ready we went up to the register where we were advised by Maria that she could only take 6 orders at a time, because apparently that was the Chef's limit? A bit contradictory to our previous instructions, but we did what was instructed. When the food did come out, it did not come out in order as placed, one particular dish being the trout salad came out and was slammed onto the table by itself and this was some 15 minutes after all the other food had been delivered to our table and this order was one of the first one's placed? I personally ordered the prawn and chorizo linguine which was tasteless and it was actually spaghetti not linguine, with big pieces of half cooked garlic in it and 1/2 small quarter slices of chorizo. I could of and do make better at home! The only people that were happy with their meals are the ones that ordered from the 'Classic's menu' and had fish and chips or a burger. Unless I hear contrary to our experience, we will not be bothering with the NCYC again for a meal. More

Spent a lovely pre Xmas lunch at the yacht club restaurant 3 days before Christmas with daughter & grandson. We sat outside on a cooler day after a heatwave, so enjoyed the view of the Harbour as well as the food. First visit for me... & was very impressed with the extensive menu & good service. Had to have seafood, so the prawn pasta dish hit the spot, as well as the desserts as you'll see from the photo. Good size servings too, so very good value overall. I would highly recommend it for groups & families or even special occasions. I will return. More

Sadly I thought that with the reopening there would be a change in the manner of staff. Unfortunately still rude to guests. I was walking to the counter to order oysters and was stopped by the woman in charge to be told because I didn’t... have a dining booking that I couldn’t order until after 2.30. It was 2.20 and kitchen was not busy and no one waiting to order. Simply rude even though I told her we were sitting in the bar area and only wanted oysters. Staff seem to be afraid of her also which I find sad. Who would want to work in fear of doing the wrong thing like actually being helpful to customers. More

Firstly, the renovations were really good. Such an improvement and much better use of the space. Unfortunately the food was a disappointment. The menu had not changed much in 12 months and there was still not suitable light lunch options apart from the starters. There... was a falafel salad but it would have been nice to see a warm chicken or roast veg salad option. Not everyone feels like eating a huge main meal for lunch or feels like paying over $30. We were told the chicken wrap was very spicey but my husband could not taste any heat. My battered fish was disappointing as the batter was very thick so I had to take it off. It is such a shame when you have the best outlook but word is out about the food. We thought we'd give it another go. Sorry we won't be back for a while until you decide to cater to more than a few 'boaties'. More

We visited for dinner on the 2nd night they were allowed to open due to COVID19 and had limited menu and dining times. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was very yummy. Firstly arriving with complimentary soup, then entree and mains which... you will see from my pictures. The food was delicious, exactly what I expected from a Club. The location is perfect, can’t wait to see the view at lunch time. Will be back. More

Never been there before so decided to go for dinner. Very limited dinner menu. As I could not eat spices of any sort, selected the slow cooked scotch fillet. When it was served, the outside was cooked but the middle was bleeding raw. Told the... waitress could not eat it could the chef cook it a bit longer, The chef was adamant he was not going to do it. Not a very pleasant chef. Ended telling the duty manager my grievance, unfortunately he met the same NO as me. It was either my money back or another meal, I chose the latter. Also, don’t be fooled about happy hour as it is only available to club members. Was told membership cost $100+ More

I cannot praise this establishment enough! We held a farewell lunch in The Bridge Room 22.10.23 Everyone of our guests said how impressed they were with both the venue and the food. Both of which was truly outstanding. Big shout out to both Rebbeca events... manager for her amazing organising skills and Linda who ran the bar served lunch ( assisted by Rebbeca) served coffee and always at hand, smiling and so helpful throughout the whole day.

This was our 1st time visiting the restaurant and I'm pretty sure the last. Although the service was OK, the food leaves a lot to be desired. We asked what was the fish of the day, was told swordfish, two of us ordered it, but... what was served was some other fish not well cooked. Also was served with cold brocolini (which I do don't understand why cold) and some boiled potatoes also like warm... We also ordered a cheese plater which the cheeses were ok but was served with burnt bread... This is a restaurant with prices on the higher side, we expected better quality. More

I keep going back to this place because I want it to be good but I always come away disappointed. This week four of us had lunch and three of us ordered the seafood mornay pie. What a disaster - minimal seafood, really gluggy mornay... and the side salad was over-dressed and looked as if it had stewed in the dressing for several hours. The fourth person had the spaghetti marinara and it wasn’t great either. More

We were overnighting at the CYC marina and arrived late in the afternoon to pick up a boat so it was convenient to eat at the CYC club. The club has a friendly, casual atmosphere and a typical club-like menu where schnitzels, beer-battered fish, and... burgers feature. One thing that was missing was a steak option. A few of us would have chosen this if it had been on offer. I had the chicken parmigiana which was a generous size and was tender and juicy. It came with chips and a bland purple coleslaw salad. Others had the yellow fish curry from the specials board and seemed very happy with it. Prices were reasonable and were mostly between $25 - $32 for the mains. The best feature of the club is the outlook over the marina and the luxury boats. Overall, the food was OK and it’s very convenient if you are already at the marina but if you're not, I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here. More

Visited last week and the food was sensational. The menu is varied with another 6-7 specials. Everything was fresh and prepared with care. The scallops with crab and prawn mornay were a stand out. The food was amazing. The staff super friendly and helpful. A... great place to visit, not to mention that spectacular view. Well done. Well definitely be back! More

About the Newcastle Yacht Club

The Newcastle Yacht Club is an incorporated Not-For-Profit Organization. The objective or purpose of the Newcastle Yacht Club is: a) to establish, maintain, conduct and operate a club for use and convenience of members, their families and guests; b) to promote excellence in the sport of boating; and c) to promote such other sports and social activities as may be desirable in the interest of the members of the Club generally.

The Newcastle Yacht Club was created in the summer of 1976 and incorporated as a Not-For-Profit Organization. In the fall of that year a meeting, in which all of the boaters at the Port Of Newcastle were invited, took place to discuss the creation of an active Yacht Club. From this initial meeting it was determined that there was enough interest in a Club to justify continuing.

During the winter months of '76 & '77 there were several activities on the go, not the least of which, was the compilation of the Club's constitution. Copies of bylaws were acquired from other clubs and from those, a draft set of bylaws was compiled. This draft was presented at the first meeting.

A meeting was held at the Port of Newcastle in May of 1977 to agree on a date for a formal meeting, at which time a slate of officers would be voted in, dues would be set and a burgee selected. A contest was organized for the purpose of selecting the burgee. Several designs were submitted and it's unfortunate that none of them have survived.

The following month, the first General meeting took place at the Newcastle Town Hall on June 11, 1977. At this meeting the Club's draft bylaws were read, and after a general discussion they were approved unanimously. An election for the first executive was completed:

Commodore Bob Allan

Vice Commodore Dave Grabill

Rear Commodore Patrick Lavelle

Secretary Vimmy McQueen

Treasurer David Waddell

Dues were set at $25 and 16 memberships were issued for the first year.

A Club burgee was selected at a General meeting held on July 16, 1977, which was an amalgamation of two of the designs submitted earlier.

That first year saw the start of the Clubs traditional 'Year End Party', a lobster and shrimp dinner was served by the executive in the marina building (now called the Brig.) With the Annual General meeting in the fall of '77, the Club was up and running, we had rented a post office box for our correspondence and ended that first year with a bank balance of $186.66.
