   Not the standard expected. The food was dissapointing given the reputation of the place. The fish n chips were the biggest let down given the hype over how good they are meant to be. The sister restaurant The Whittling House was far superior and I would reccomend going there

   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.
