About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

Discover the very best of Northumbrian Cuisine

Our Head Chef and his expert team have handpicked local suppliers who source only the highest quality, freshest Northumbrian produce. So, whether you visit us for a feast with friends or as a couple looking for a cosy corner, we’ve got all the ingredients for every occasion.

As you would expect from a restaurant nestled on the coast of Northumberland, we have cast out the net when it comes to freshly caught local seafood. Our emphasis on local produce and ingredients doesn’t stop on the shoreline. Northumberland is blessed with some of the best butchers to be found anywhere in the world, all priding themselves on supplying the highest quality meats from local marts.

This is a dining experience not to be missed!

Fabulous Sunday lunch yesterday, food was absolutely delicious and service was outstanding from our waitress Ann Marie who is an asset to your establishment! ( sparkly lady :) ) Our first visit thanks to a very generous gift voucher but we will definitely return and recommend to others.

Very disappointed not to be able to add an extra person to the booking. We were sat in the large round table so plenty of room and empty tables This was a booking made to cover an absence at home and we have used your restaurant quite a lot being local, never had a problem before
