Places to eat in Bamburgh
The little village of Bamburgh has plenty of unique and quirky places to fill hungry bellies. From upscale luxury to street food, you won’t go hungry on your visit here.
It’s only a 30-minute drive from our Haggerston Castle and Berwick holiday parks. For every appetite and taste, here are some great places to eat in Bamburgh.
The Potted Lobster
Cuisine: seafood
Step into a fresh, vibrant restaurant with a nautical theme when you visit The Potted Lobster. They focus on providing the freshest local seafood caught in the surrounding waters of Bamburgh, with seasonal menus. There are several menus to choose from for lunch and dinner, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and children’s options. There are classics such as soup of the day and haddock chowder. Or go all out with a locally caught lobster and Thermidor sauce!
For a seafood restaurant, they have a surprising amount of vegan and vegetarian options. Why not choose the Jerusalem artichokes and parsnip tahini with crispy shallots? It would be rude not to choose a dessert from their menu to finish off your meal. Select a sweet staple like creme brulee or Eton mess.
If you have furry family members, you'll be pleased to know that The Potted Lobster is dog friendly. There’s a special dog-friendly area of the restaurant so you can enjoy a meal together! Find this restaurant in Bamburgh along Front Street.
The Castle Inn
Cuisine: pub grub
The Castle Inn is a welcoming, traditional pub with good home-cooked fare and a relaxing cosy atmosphere, whether that's inside the pub or outside in the garden.
Choose favourites such as pies, burgers, gammon and eggs. Or, if you arrive on a Sunday, pop in for a carvery with all the trimmings! There's a kid's menu to fill up little bellies too. If you're after no-nonsense, hearty pub grub, it’s well worth a visit. Plus, dogs are welcome inside.
Keep an eye out for the chef specials if you fancy something a little bit different such as Honey and Ginger cheesecake or Cullen skink!
The Lord Crewe
Cuisine: British classics
Enjoy a touch of luxury in a setting that's a mix of countryside traditional and spacious modern chic.
The upscale cuisine is best described as ‘classics with a twist’. Plain steak becomes aged ribeye, oysters are caught fresh in Lindisfarne. There's a wide range of delicious mains and desserts, all made with local, fresh, seasonal ingredients. The chefs take pride in offering an upmarket experience including for vegetarians and vegans, too.
For example, choose their beer-battered cod if you fancy something filling, or for a lighter bite, opt for goat’s cheese mousse or celeriac and Bramley soup.
