   When we arrived we were put into the non dog area,but it was very loud and raucous,so we asked if we could move to a quieter area and this was achieved with no fuss or delay.The staff werevery pleasant and helpful and the food was just beautiful! Overall an excellent venue and well worth the money.

   My wife and I dined at the Potted Lobster, Bamburgh on12 May 2025. Our starter was potted lobster and we then had main courses of mussels and halibut. All the dishes were superbly prepared and tasted delicious. The service was excellent too. We’ve eaten here many times before and we’ve already booked our next visit.

   Great seafood and service. Ordered two plateaux de fruits de mer for a party of 4. Great sides served with the seafood. Very attentive staff. Highly recommended.

   The waitress was very pleasant and helpful. Sadly the food did not meet our expectations. The Seabass with peas, pancetta & chicken stock was disappointing. The Seabass was cooked well but the flavour of the vegetables overpowered the fish. A poor pairing. The steak costing £38 was tasty but very chewy. It was tough to cut and subsequently difficult to eat. At this price it should perfection. At the end of meal we raised our concerns and was thanked for giving feedback. We were not given an apology or any adjust to the bill. We have been many times to”The Potted Lobster “ and recommended to friends but sadly due to our experience today we will not return.

   We have wanted to come for 5 years and eventually got around to it for our wedding anniversary and it was great. Generous portions and a wonderful array of starter and main course specials. Need to book in advance especially for popular times of the day. All the waiting staff are excellent We will not wait so long in future to enjoy this wonderful place.

    Well recommended. Perfect spot to eat but you need to book! Service was excellent. Every member of staff was friendly and pleasant. Food was excellent. Beautiful haddock. Lobster is lobster to me. Expensive and over rated but so much more choice on the menu. We will definitely visit again. Thank you The Potted Lobster!
