Seahouses, Fish & Seafood Restaurant Guide

An “excellent restaurant” whose “super-friendly welcome” is a prelude to ultra-fresh local shellfish and seafood (the “best we’ve had for years”, according to one reporter), particularly if you go for the “delicious” titular crustacean, which comes in various renditions. Conditions “can be noisy” and, for the odd visitor, the trip “didn’t live up to expectations” given the elevated price, but the majority verdict is that all aspects are “very well done”. The team run a sister venue, The Whittling House, which lies just to the south in Alnmouth, and there’s a younger Potted Lobster spin-off in the Welsh seaside resort of Abersoch, offering catch from the Llyn Peninsula.
