    I felt the restaurant was understaffed and it unfortunately had a knock on effect to our level of enjoyment. I didn’t pick well this time however I will try this restaurant again before I leave Bamburgh and will be picking one of the specials .

    Our group of 4 had an excellent meal. Main issue was deciding between all the different menu items as all looked scrummy. Plates were served quickly and food was hot and delicious. Portions were generous. Overall we had a great meal. Thank you Potted Lobster!

    The food was delicious. It is great to visit somewhere that the food is prepared from scratch and cooked by chefs who understand food.

    Fabulous restaurant with wonderful experiences staff. The food is incredible. The restaurant is not pretentious at all but relaxed. A minor point the reason I didn’t give all categories 5 stars was that unfortunately our neighbouring table were loud and brash unnecessarily so and this did impact on the enjoyment of our evening.
