Featured Amble Restaurants
1. Sonnet
British, Modern restaurant in Alnwick
41 Bondgate Without - NE66
10/10 for ambition when it comes to this inviting if minimalist venue launched by chef Gary McDermott with his partner, Claudia Mazareanu. Sonnets are, of course, 14 lines long and the main feature here is a 14-course tasting menu served to 14 people at a time over three hours for £105 per person. Still too limited feedback for a firm rating but their boldness won them the Caterer & Hotelkeeper, Cateys Newcomer Award 2025.
2. The Old Boat House Amble
Fish & seafood restaurant in Amble
Leazes Street - NE65
“A great location beside the harbour” helps drive feedback on this quayside fixture run by music festival caterers Martin & Ruth Charlton, who settled here a dozen years ago (they also run the nearby Fish Shack). Its overall ratings in our annual diners’ poll were good-to-average this year, with most reports saying it “caters well for seafood lovers”, with “excellent fresh ingredients” (including “delicious langoustines”) at “reasonable prices”.
3. Jolly Fisherman
Fish & seafood restaurant in Craster
Haven Hill - NE66
“Fresh seafood platters with abundant crab” are a highlight at this early Victorian pub in a “lovely location with a terrific sea view”, which can be “almost too popular for a comfortable evening out” – “locally smoked kippers” are also a speciality. Part of a group owned by ex-rugby pro David Whitehead, along with Rosie’s Bar in Newcastle, the Woodmans Arms in Whickham and the recently acquired Yorebridge House Hotel in Yorkshire.
4. 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.
