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!
