Great menu full of lovely choices of fresh local fish as well as other meat dishes. Fish was cooked to perfection. It is on the expensive end, but great food.

Fabulous game tasting menu. The outstanding course for me was the first course of teal and scallop. I always love a perfectly cooked scallop but the teal I thought was exceptionally tasty. My husbands favourite was the delicious risotto milanese. HELP! How on earth do I recreate it for him at home to that standard?

Another great day out in Bamburgh finished off with a perfect dinner at the Potted Lobster. We were sat at the dog friendly table we requested when making our reservation so we could totally relax with our nervous dog. The staff have always accommodated our request. We were booked in early Sunday evening and it was a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. The food was excellent. My father in law said it was the best fish and chips he had ever eaten in his life and he’s 82!! I had the cod with chorizo jam. This was the second time I have had this and I enjoyed it more this time as I actually tasted chunks of chorizo which was so delicious. The sticky toffee pudding dessert is a must! The restaurant became full as we were leaving. Our server was so nice and friendly - actually nicer than the last server we had on our last visit so overall a wonderful evening and we will definitely be back next time we visit beautiful Bamburgh.
