Featured Alnwick Restaurants
1. Jolly Fisherman
Fish & seafood restaurant in Craster
Haven Hill - NE66
“Great seafood platters” and “wonderful smoked fish from the smokehouse next door” are the standout menu items at this “cosy place 10 metres from the sea” – a proper pub with “good ales too”, that has welcomed guests since early Victorian times. The beer garden at the front has views along the Northumberland coast that take in Dunstanburgh Castle.
2. The Old Boat House Amble
Fish & seafood restaurant in Amble
Leazes Street - NE65
“A good range of locally caught fish and shellfish” can be enjoyed at this “recently refurbished building” in a “fantastic setting right on the quayside in Amble, with views up to Warkworth along the Coquet and out towards the sea”. It’s “our go-to place when we want to give foreign visitors a taste of traditional fish ’n’ chips” – with the bonus that you can “watch the boats arriving” with tomorrow’s fish. The owners also run the Fish Shack close by.
3. The Potted Lobster
Fish & seafood restaurant in Bamburgh
3 Lucker Road - NE69
“Seafood so fresh it’s practically still swimming” – including Lindisfarne oysters and locally caught lobsters – is the trump card at Alnick-born chef Richard Sim’s “gem” of a restaurant – “a real must if you ever venture near Bamburgh”. There’s a sibling venture on the far side of the country, at Abersoch on the Llyn Peninsula in Wales.
4. Sonnet
restaurant in Alnwick
41 Bondgate Without - NE66
This ambitious debut offers a 14-course set menu of ‘food we love to eat ourselves’ from Co Durham-born chef Gary McDermott and his partner, Claudia Mazareanu. The emphasis is on simplicity, the finest Northumberland produce, and a ‘refined take on familiar flavours’.
5. Sea & Soil
Fish & seafood restaurant in Amble
104 Queen Street - NE65
2022 Review: FKA ‘Sea Salt’, this relative newbie on the growing local scene, in a “welcoming environment near Amble harbour”, is run by couple Julie Lunn-Bird (FOH) and Jonny Bird (who trained under Albert Roux). The “interesting” bistro-style menu often features fresh fish alongside the regular menu of burgers, steaks, salads etc.
